Shea Thorne couldn't possibly have her way, as tears quickly welled up in her eyes. She looked at Justin Lawson, like a vulnerable person seeking help.
Her eyes said: Look, she doesn't really like me, she just wants a chance to perform on stage.
Justin naturally understood his sister's weakness. Having navigated the business world for so many years, he was well aware of their mother's schemes and had already decided to help Ariana.
But Ariana's understanding only made Justin feel sorry for her. She never questioned the unfair treatment from their mother over the years, nor did she speak harshly of her stepfather.
Her understanding made people's hearts ache.
"Mom, your health isn't good right now. You should have a good rest for these days." Justin stepped in front of Shea Thorne and said, "As for the performance, since the official list has been released, changing the program at this point would lead to accusations of unfairness."
