Chapter 187

Ryder suddenly lifted his head, asking, “Did Agnes tell you I don’t like her?”

“She didn’t say anything, but your actions spoke volumes,” Jared replied.

His dislike for Agnes had been obvious the whole evening.

He even resorted to petty tactics like snatching food.

Knowing Ryder as he did, Jared knew that he had never particularly liked or disliked anyone in his life.

This intense dislike was a first.

Ryder asked coldly, “I don’t get why it’s her. Weren’t you always into Mamie? She’s nowhere as good

as Mamie, why would you marry her?”

“Because my heart fluttered, Ryder. If you meet a girl, and the moment you set eyes on her, you feel a

jolt like electricity, even your heart starts racing, and you start trembling. That girl is the one for you.

That’s my advice.”

“So, you really do like her, right?” Ryder’s eyes dimmed.

“Yes, I love her,” Jared replied.

Ryder lowered his head, his emotions unreadable, and said, “I get it.”

Jared patted Ryder on the shoulder, “Even if you don’t like her, don’t be too harsh on her, got it?”

Ryder just muttered a reply.

The next day.

After breakfast, Jared drove Agnes to school.

Ryder didn’t join them in the car. He had gotten up early, but didn’t have breakfast with them.

The rehearsals went smoothly.

But Cecile kept stirring the pot.

Agnes didn’t mind the daily squabbles.

Until the day before the performance selection.

Agnes had her last rehearsal that night.

As soon as she entered East Hall, everyone swarmed her, saying, “Agnes, we’re screwed.”

“What happened?”

“Our props and costumes have been ruined.”

Agnes went backstage to see for herself.

All the props and costumes had been splattered with paint.

“What the hell happened?”

“Do we even have to ask? Obviously, Cecile is playing dirty, ruining our props and costumes. Tomorrow

is the selection, she’s ruthless.”

Vinson said, “She already has the upper hand, why would she do this?

Kerri retorted angrily, “This way, she’s guaranteed to win.”

Agnes frowned.

The other members were freaking out, asking anxiously, “Agnes, what do we do? Without props and

costumes, how can we perform the play? We only had one set of costumes, borrowed from another

school and now they’re ruined.”

Kerri said, “I’m gonna confront Cecile.”

Agnes grabbed Kerri’s hand, “When were these costumes ruined?”

“Everything was fine at our rehearsal last night, but this morning they’re like this. I think Cecile must’ve

sent someone to sabotage us last night.”

“Do you have any proof?”

“Do we even need proof? Who else could it be?”

Agnes said, “Without evidence, if we rashly confront her, she won’t admit it. She might even turn it

around on us, saying we’re framing her because we’re not confident about winning. After all, as Vinson

just said, they’re very confident about their performance tomorrow. To outsiders, they wouldn’t need to

do this.”

Kerri frowned, “So what do we do now? We can’t just let it go. And without props and costumes, what

are we going to do tomorrow? Are we really going to give up?”
