Chapter 275

Professor Merlin nodded. “I know. I’ll do it right now! To be honest, even though it’s just a few sheets ofpaper, it’s weighing heavily on me. I’m still feeling a lot of emotions.” “I understand how you feel! Thisyoung girl is really good. If she’s going to pursue this path in the future, it would be a very good choice.We now have a successor in this industry.” “Yes, you’re totally right! But, for her protection, let’s notpublicize this matter for the time being. Let’s wait for the reply from the upper levels on what to donext.” Professor Walter agreed, but still asked, “Then, do you plan to tell Elise about this?”

Professor Merlin pondered it, then said, “Let’s keep it a secret from her for now! It’s for her own good!After all, before she solved the question, she didn’t know the story behind it.” “Professor Merlin, to behonest, I suddenly envy you a little…” Upon hearing this, Professor Merlin was relieved of his tenseemotions. “What’s there to be envious about? Just don’t forget to treat me to the tea you promised me.”Speaking of this, Professor Walter looked pained, and he sighed. “I won’t get to drink your good wineanymore. As for the tea I promised you, I accept my loss.

Although I’m old, I can’t be so shameless, so rest assured. I’ll definitely bring it to you personally someday.” The two professors smiled at each other, and their fluctuating moods slowly calmed down. Theyknew that from the time Elise began solving this question, many changes had happened in thebackground. … Elise was completely unaware of all this. During the afternoon after class, herclassmates came over to ask her, “Elise, do you want to go to rehearsal together later?” Having justremembered about it, Elise frowned slightly, then replied, “You guys can go ahead! I’ll be there a littlelater.” “Then we’ll go and wait for you in the conference room.” After her classmates left, Elise took outthe script she got last time and headed to the conference room.

She had just arrived when a fashionably-dressed young man walked in. As soon as he appeared, achorus of female voices sounded. “It’s the sophomore, Jose! Why is he here? “I’ve heard a lot aboutJose! Seeing him today just proves that he’s much more handsome than the rumors say.” At that,

several girls surrounded him and asked, “Jose, what are you doing here? Are you here to watch usrehearse?” At this moment, Janice walked over and explained, “I invited Jose over to help!

He’ll be the male lead of our play.” “Wow! Really? That’s great!” At this point, everyone couldn’t help butlook at Elise. “I envy you so much, Elise. You get to act as a couple with Jose.” Elise was speechless,thinking that they were exaggerating it a little. Although Jose had rather good looks, he was still a littlefar behind compared to the young masters of the Griffith Family. To her surprise, Jose walked over andlooked Elise up and down before exclaiming in a disdainful tone, “Janice, are you kidding me? Youwant me to partner with this ugly monster?”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. In their eyes, Elise was indeed not suited to play thefemale lead opposite Jose, so none of them spoke up for Elise. All of them remained silent. This wasexactly the outcome that Janice wanted! Although she couldn’t do anything to Elise, she could dosomething to annoy her, and this incident was an example. Although she was delighted deep down,she said euphemistically, “Jose, don’t say that. Elise is actually not that bad…” Hearing that, Josefrowned even more. “No, I’m not partnering with anyone but you! You guys can think about it! Do youwant me?

Or do you want her?” Jose’s attitude was resolute. Everyone exchanged looks, then they turned theirgazes to Elise, seemingly telling her, Elise, just quit! Elise shrugged and said, “Then, I’ll quit.” One ofthe female students said sheepishly, “This isn’t very nice. After all, Janice was the one who invited Eliseto be the lead actress… If we do this now, it’ll be a little too unfair for Elise…” “With her looks, is sheeven suited to play the female lead?” “That’s right. You can only be with Jose if you look like Janice. Asfor Elise… It’s just that her grades are better and she has a nice figure, but… she looks a little ugly, sowe don’t really have a choice!” Elise felt that this was a good thing too. “It’s okay!

I quit. You guys carry on!” Janice didn’t expect Elise to agree so quickly. None of the many possibilitiesshe had anticipated had occurred, which made her slightly puzzled. However, she had only asked Eliseto join the play to ridicule her, and she had only asked Jose to come because she wanted to drive Elise

away. “Okay. If that’s what you want, then I’ll have to agree.” Elise didn’t stay any longer and simply leftthe conference room, as if this was the outcome she wanted. Elise had just reached the dormitorywhen Mikayla approached her. “My dear Elise.

I heard that you’re participating in your class play! How about you show me some kindness and thinkabout what I asked you last time?” Elise explained, “I’ve quit the play.” Mikayla was surprised. “No way!I just got word that you’re participating, but now you’ve quit? What’s the reason?” Elise laughed atherself and answered, “I’m too ugly to be the lead.” Mikayla exploded at once. “What the hell? Who is itthat’s blind enough to call you ugly? You’re just staying low-key. If they see your true self, they’ll allregret it.” Elise hurriedly grabbed hold of her. “Okay, stop! Stop!

I didn’t want to take part in the play in the first place, so I took this chance to quit.” Mikayla, however,wasn’t letting this opportunity go. “Since you’ve quit the class drama, why don’t you think about helpingme?” Elise was speechless. Mikayla quickly tugged on her arm. “My sweet Elise, help me, won’t you?”Left with no choice, Elise finally agreed. “Okay, but I have one condition.” Mikayla was about to jumpwith joy, so she couldn’t care less about Elise’s conditions and answered, “Whatever your conditionsare, I’ll agree.” Elise said, “I’ll only sing, and I’ll leave right after! I’m going to wear a mask at all timesand not reveal my identity.” Mikayla nodded continuously. “Don’t worry.

I’ll definitely follow your wishes. I won’t let anyone know that you’re H—” As soon as she said this, Elisehurriedly covered her mouth. Mikayla nodded as a promise, and only then did Elise let her go. … In notime, it was the weekend. Early in the morning, Elise received a call from Alexander.

After rushing to pack up, Elise reached the school gate and saw a Maybach parked on the side of theroad. Then, Alexander got out of the car and walked toward her. “It’s only been ten minutes since Ihung up.” Elise smiled and said, “I didn’t want to let you wait too long, so I quickly packed up. Whereare you going to take me?”

Alexander answered, “An old friend of Grandpa’s invited us to be his guests. “ At the mention of hisgrandpa, a tinge of sadness appeared on her face. “Okay, let’s go.” The two of them were about toleave when a familiar voice rang out. “Miss Sinclair!” Elise stopped walking and turned around. Whenshe looked over, she saw Rowena standing not far away, appearing respectful. Frowning, Elise asked,“Ms. Johnson, why are you here?”
