Agnes walked in and laid it out: “I’m here for the same reason as you”

She approached Ryder and blurted out, “I want you to be the male lead in my play”

Upon hearing this, Cecile was livid. “Agnes, how could you be so shameless? You’re his aunt by marriage now, don’t you know to avoid inappropriate interactions? Do you want the whole school to think Prince is getting too close with his aunt? Or are you just trying to play the field?”

“Cecile, don’t Iwist my words. If there’s anything inappropriate between us, he knows better. Andrea asked us to form our own teams for the competition. It’s only fair that I fight for a popular male lead. As for what you’re implying, time will tell that we’re innocent.”

Cecile snapped, “Agnes, you know what I can’t stand? Your holier–than–thou attitude. You only care about yourself. Have you considered Prince?”

“Alright, you two, cut it out,‘ Ryder interjected.

Cecile asked, “Are you really going to do the play with her?”

Ryder replied. “I’m not doing the play. You both can leave.”

Agnes was the first to leave, believing that if Ryder said he wouldn’t participate, then he wouldn’t

Plus, with his aloof personality, he probably wasn’t interested in acting in a play.

The next day, rumors circulated that Ryder would be acting in a play with Cecile.

All the news was posted on the school bulletin board, including the competition between Agnes and Cecile’s teams, and their bet.

Standing in front of the bulletin board, Agnes was a bit agitated.

So, Ryder really agreed to be the male lead with Cecile?

At lunch, Agnes confirmed the news with Kerri

Kerri, who was on the same course and had the same tutor as Ryder, interacted with him frequently

Kerri wondered, “I can’t figure out why Ryder would support Cecile and turn you down. Could it be that he’s planning to sabotage her at the crucial moment?”

Agnes responded, “you are overthinking. Do you think he’s that type of person?”

Ryder was not that complicated. He either didn’t agree to it, or he gave it his all.

Being his classmate for three years, Kerri knew this well.

Kerri didn’t know, but Agnes did. Ryder simply didn’t like her.

Kerri sighed, “I think our chances of winning are slim Cecile has become strong Where can we replace a male lead who can compete with Ryder?”

Agnes also felt a bit down.

She banged her head on the table and groaned, “Why did I bet with her? I feel like I’ve lost already. Ryder, you traitor!”

But Agnes was only a bit down at lunch. After she finished eating, she said, “Regardless, we need to give it our best shot. Who’s the second most popular guy?”

Kerri answered, “It’s Vinson from the drama department.”

Vinson, a drama student, had gained some popularity after shooting a promotional video with Ava. He was good–looking, humorous, humble, and well–liked.

But, his popularity paled in comparison to Ryder’s.

Agnes quickly found Vinson, who readily agreed to help.
