Yvette Shaw's face was pale with anger. "Isla Prescott, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"I didn't want things to get ugly here, but you forced my hand. I'm warning you, if you harass my mom again, I won't hesitate to repeat what I just said to the media. And while I'm at it, I'll tell everyone that after I won my first dance competition, you never taught me another step."
After Isla Prescott won that dance competition, Yvette Shaw's public image began to improve. Afterwards, she became addicted to her social life and couldn't be bothered to teach Isla anymore. To keep up appearances, she never hired any dance instructors for Isla, leaving her to fend for herself in the dance studio.
A young Isla Prescott had no other choice but to borrow a tablet from Silas Lockwood and learn to dance by following online videos every day. Her later acceptance into the Meritopia Dance Academy was a testament to her own defiant spirit, not a credit to Yvette Shaw.
"You dare threaten me?"
