Chapter 333


    Both Stanley and Sean had arrived at that moment. While setting up the equipment, Stanley saw how


    nervous Sophia was and tried to calm her down. “Stop worrying, we have a killer performance lined up.


    We’re gonna win this! Come on, look at me. Let’s take deep breaths. Breathe in, breathe out.”


    Sophia had never been such a nervous wreck until that very moment.


    At that moment, Sean chimed in. “If you’re feeling nervous, just hold your amulet. Your dad had it on him


    for 29 years and he aced every test. Just hold it and you’ll feel better.”


    Upon hearing that, she reached out to touch her amulet and prayed. “God bless me. Please watch over


    me.”


    With her newfound courage through the amulet, she started to calm down.


    While the other girls were already prepared, she took her time and went to get her outfit.


    “Sophia, you really came!”


    The voice came from behind her. As soon as she turned, she saw Faye’s unfamiliar face.


    It was not too long ago since Sophiast saw her, but she looked like she underwent puberty again. She


    no longer looked like the Faye Edwards that Sophia remembered—the girl looked as if she had bigger


    eyes with softer cheeks. Not only did her forehead look fuller, but her nose was sharper too!


    Faye and X had walked together as they approached Sophia with Richard following behind them.


    It was because of Sophia that X and Richard became theughing stock of Bayside University and as


    a result, disgust and hatred were clearly etched on their faces.


    To Sophia, they looked better with that expression on their faces. In fact, she preferred it over their


    condescending attitudes.


    ncing at the trio, X rolled her eyes. “A performance is a requirement for the campus belle contest. I


    wonder what you have nned. Wait, let me guess… Are you writing calligraphy?”


    Faye immediately added andughed, “Perhaps she’ll ace a test on stage, haha!”


    Before Sophia could respond, the overprotective Stanley strode over and stood before Richard. In


    addition to his bronze crew cut, he looked vicious with an angry scowl on his face, making a startled


    Richard backing away quickly. “Hey! If you’re gonna pick on my aunt, you’ll have to go through me!”


    Richard knew he couldn’t beat Stanley in a fight—he didn’t even have the guts to do so. Therefore, he


    shed a cold smile.


    As a matter of fact, Richard had already done his research on Stanley Fletcher. While the Fletchers were


    a big family, some members were less favored and powerless.


    The Fletcher Family came from a military background for generations, making it a tradition for its


    members to attend a military academy. Therefore, by attending Bayside University, Stanley was a


    nobody among the Fletchers and only used his family name to get his way.


    “I’m not going to fight you. I’m just here to support my ex.” Richard fixed his tuxedo that was disheveled


    as a result of stepping back from Stanley earlier.


    Upon hearing that, Stanley was about to respond before Sophia interrupted from behind. “That’s enough,


    Stan. Be careful or you might catch an STD.”


    STD!


    Upon hearing that term, everyone at the scene was shocked. Richard clenched his fists while his face


    wore a ghastly expression; his re went past Stanley and met Sophia’s smiling eyes.


    She was half-smiling and looked at Richard as if her sharp eyes could see through his soul.


    “Enough with the nder, Sophia! Don’t cross the line! Did you forget who paid your medical bills when


    you broke your leg in junior year?”


    An outraged X stood next to Richard. “You are the reason why I’m spiteful! You’re well aware of what


    you did behind Richard’s back when you were still together. Now that you have everything, you’re


    shamelessly hurting him! Not only that, but you are spreading rumours about Richard having STD! Who


    do you think you are topete for the title of campus belle?”


    Sophia could care less about responding, so she continued to smile while looking at Richard, who stood


    behind X.


    He was too embarrassed to look at Sophia in the eyes as he flushed before dragging X away. “Let’s


    go, X. Speaking to them does nothing but stain my reputation.”


    Sophia let out a cold chuckle as she watched him flee.


    It turned out that Hale had already reported to her yesterday about Richard’s medical records at a private


    hospital—it was true that thetter suffered from STD!


    After the brief interruption, everyone returned to their business—some were doing their hair and makeup


    while the others rehearsed.


    For the campus belle contest, Faye performed a ssical dance solo while on the other hand, X sang


    while Richard yed the piano as her apaniment.


    To be honest, Richard’s piano skills were outstanding—he would always practice in the piano room every


    weekend while Sophia secretly learned from him back in junior year.


    She was more determined in learning the instrument than him and it was during that period of time where


    she learned to y. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to show her skills.


    At that moment, the couple had begun their performance. The music sounded affectionate with a trace of


    blues, perfectly matching X’s honey-coated voice. Theirbination made them a match made in


    heaven!

    So much so, those students who called them dirty names a few days ago could not help but envy them


    both as they were such a good pair!


    The song that X had chosen was a difficult one. The Huffs had already nned for her to enter the


    entertainment circle, so since she was young, they had already spent a fortune for her one-on-one


    sses. For that reason alone, she was not bad at singing at all.


    Furthermore, Faye was excellent at dancing and with her sculpted face, she was the goddess of the


    university!


    Among the contestants, Faye and X stood out the most with their performances overshadowing most


    of the others.


    Other than the scores given by the judges, the online voting would y arge role in determining who


    the winner was. At that moment, it was crucial to have built good rtionships with their peers.


    X thought, I wonder how many good friends Sophia has.


    She sang triumphantly, thinking that she would win the contest and would often look over with pride at


    Sophia, who was mumbling to herself with her head hanging down. Huh, she must be jealous of me!


    All of a sudden, an unfamiliar person came to the backstage and shouted, which caused Richard to stop


    ying. “You there, give up the piano. Natasha needs it to rehearse.”


    The tone of his voice was firm and indisputable. Richard was about to immerse himself in the music


    when he was rudely interrupted and angrily stood up. Just as he was about to erupt, he saw a group of


    people escorting a girl into the room.


    That girl had an unique face. Not only did she look ssy and had great charisma, but she also had an


    unparalleled aura. Wearing a tube top dress that was matched with a pair of stilettos, her impable


    appearance made her look wless. Standing at 5 feet 7, her curvy figure was alsoparable to a


    supermodel, making her noble and morous.


    It was none other than Natasha Mitchell—from junior ss!
