Chapter 181
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 twist 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 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 find 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 Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
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.
