Chapter 181


    Agnes walked in andid 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 y”


    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 y 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 thepetition. It’s only fair that I fight for a popr 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 y with her?”

    Ryder replied, “I’m not doing the y. 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 y.


    The next day, rumors circted that Ryder would be acting in a y with Cecile.


    All the news was posted on the school bulletin board, including thepetition 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 nning to sabotage her at the crucial moment?”


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


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


    Being his ssmate 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 be ‘strong. Where can we find a


    male lead who canpete 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 popr guy?” Kerri answered, “It’s Vinson from the drama


    department.”


    Vinson, a drama student, had gained some poprity after shooting a promotional video with Ava. He


    was good-looking, humorous, humble, and well-liked. But, his poprity paled inparison to


    Ryder’s.


    Agnes quickly found Vinson, who readily agreed to help.
