DreameNovelChapter 352:
Their steps quickened, blending into a smooth blur of movement in the eyes of the audience. Still, their timing
was flawless, each step falling in perfect harmony with the music. Even those who had hoped to see them falter
were left speechless.
As the performance concluded, a brief hush fell over the crowd, then erupted into deafening applause, snapping
everyone out of the magical moment.
In that moment, the way people viewed Carrie had completely transformed. Initially, people saw Carrie as
beautiful, maybe with sacting talent. But now, after witnessing her flawless execution of what was once just
a hobby, they were left speechless.
When someone is only a little better than you, it stirs up jealousy. But when they reach a level you could never
dream of reaching, all that’s left is admiration.

In that instant, Carrie was no longer seen as a pampered trophy wife.
Instead, Kristopher was recognized as a man with exceptional foresight, seeing her brilliance before it had the
chance to shine. He noticed the change in how people viewed her. It made him think—if she had continued to
stay in his shadow, she would never have earned their respect.
Kristopher made a decision. From now on, he would let her shine on her own, to step into her role as the true
lady of the Norris family, not just as his wife.
Once the show wrapped up and Carrie and Kristopher were about to leave, they saw a group of brand
representatives waiting for them in the backstage hallway. As soon as they saw the couple, they hurried over.
Carrie assumed they had cfor Kristopher, so she was about to step aside. But to her surprise, they greeted
him politely and then shifted their attention to her, each of them handing her a business card.
“Ms. Campbell, here’s my card. Our company has just released a new line of cosmetics, and we’d be honored to
have you represent our brand.”
“Ms. Campbell, we're launching an ad campaign that would be a perfect fit for you.”
“Ms. Campbell, we're producing a charity short film and would love for you to take the lead role.”
Kristopher stood off to the side, a playful glint in his eye as he tilted his head. “Ms. Campbell, you're in high
demand,” he teased. He motioned for her to continue, then leaned back against the wall with a relaxed posture,
watching her with a quiet, affectionate gaze—just like the many times she’d patiently waited for him during his
work meetings and events.
Carrie exchanged a few words with them but didn’t accept their business cards. Instead, she pulled out Ruby's
card. “I understand the basics. For more details, please contact my agent.”
“I'll also pass along my thoughts to her.”

Kristopher, finishing his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray on the trash can. Standing up straight, he walked
over and asked softly, “Can | take my wife hnow?”
The crowd quickly parted. “Mr. Norris, you're too kind. We're the ones keeping you. We owe you both a dinner to
make it up to you sometime.”
Kristopher didn’t respond. He simply wrapped his arm around Carrie's shoulders and guided her away.
Carrie allowed Kristopher to support her as they made their way towards the parking area, both enveloped in a
heavy silence. She attempted to initiate conversation several times but struggled to find the right words to start.
Oliver was already by the car, vigilantly waiting. As they neared, he swung the back door open with a flourish
and greeted them formally, “Mr. Norris, Mrs. Norris.”
Kristopher was just about to duck into the car when a voice halted him. “Carrie!” The call was sharp,
unmistakable. Turning around, Carrie's eyes met Vicky's, who was standing a short distance away, her gaze
burning intensely.
