Regardless of Patty's arrogance, she wouldn't cause a scene at Mathews concert.

Claudia's assertion proved true. At the sight of her, Patty ground her teeth in frustration. However, her options were limited.

With Mathews and Miguel nearby, Patty found herself powerless, left only to glare.

Claudia was so engrossed in rehearsal that she lacked the time to address Patty.

By late afternoon, the clock had struck four. After rehearsing twice, Claudia's part was flawless. Miguel instructed the makeup artist to work on Claudia's appearance.

For the performance, Claudia wore a specially tailored dress that complemented Mathews’ attire.

To achieve a spectacular effect, the outfits of both individuals had been custom-made. When they stepped out and the spotlight hit them, the show would become a treat not only for the ears but also the eyes.

Even minus the Light, the dress remained exquisitely beautiful.

The dress, a deep blue hue, resembled a galaxy when sunlight touched its shinning fabric. Claudia could almost envision the stunning image she would present under the stage lights.

Mathews was indeed magnanimous The makeup artist endeavored to enhance her appearance. Claudia's face possessed natural beauty, yet stage Lighting required more makeup.

The makeup artist aimed to preserve the “delicacy” of her unadorned face. Some areas received heavy makeup while others remained Light. At first glance, it was challenging to discern whether she wore makeup or not. However, upon closer inspection, it was evident that the makeup artist had meticulously considered Claudia's Look.

Witnessing this, Joann couldn't help but praise the makeup artist. "Cece, I should ask for the artist's contact. What if we have him do your makeup for your next performance?”

Even though Claudia already radiated beauty without makeup, Joann still wished to magnify her allure. She hoped Claudia would captivate the entire audience.

After all, there were always individuals who were malicious and prone to gossip.

Huffing with indignation, Joann seethed at the thought!

Studying her reflection in the mirror, Claudia felt tempted as well. "Is hiring an artist this good Like him quite costly?”

"I'LL inquire about it!"

Two minutes elapsed and Joann returned. "You're correct. It's a bit pricey." She sighed, holding up five fingers.

“Fifty thousand dollars?"

Claudia mused that it was somewhat costly, though still within her means. Joann, however, shook her head and stated, “No.”

Claudia fixed her with an intense look. "Don't tell me it's five hundred thousand!"

Joann didn't utter a word but nodded in affirmation.

Claudia was left momentarily speechless.

Well, the temptation wasn't that strong.
