<b>Chapter 264</b>
Coming from the backwoods, Morwenna was certainly impressive.
Jethro just sneered at the mention of her pen name, Mora, which seemed to calm the crowd.
He burst out in dissatisfaction, “So what if she’s Mora? There are plenty of neers better than her. <b>You </b>can’t just deny <b>everyone </b>else
their chance.”
Campbell had been holding back for a while, but now, with a cold expression, he said, “The wee party starts in a few <b>hours</b>. What kind of chance are you looking for now? You’re just causing trouble. Why didn’t <b>you </b>say anything earlier?<b>”</b>
Back when Adide was still hanging around Stuart, Jethro had the audacity <b>to </b>confront anyone, confident that no one in Rosefrost Hollow would dare to retaliate.
But now, with Adide abroad, Jethro didn’t dare to offend Campbell and the others too much.
Swallowing hard, Jethro said, “I’m not trying to cause trouble on purpose. If Morwenna’s been chosen as the Freshman Representative, so be it. But I think we should reconsider who ys the lead in the y. I heard there are neers who can memorize the script in no time. Why <b>not </b>let everyone audition? After all, acting requires skill, and what kind of acting can someone from the backwoods deliver?” Sandra chimed in, “Exactly. Opportunities should go to the most capable. If someone can memorize the script, we <b>won’t </b>know how good they are until we try.<b>”</b>
Morwenna actually agreed with this point.
She didn’t know the first thing about acting, and being chosen as the Freshman Representative was enough. She <b>didn’t </b>need topete for everything.
But she didn’t like the person who was speaking, so Morwenna wasn’t going to step down voluntarily.
The Student Council President hesitated. He didn’t want to stir up trouble at this time, but with things having escted to this point, failing to provide a satisfactory solution could lead to gossip.
Having been the president for two years, he had always managed to stay on good terms with everyone.
Looking at Morwenna, he asked, “Are <b>you </b>okay with letting everyone audition?”
Morwenna nodded. She had <i>no </i>reason to disagree.
Then<b>, </b>turning to Campbell, the president asked, “And you, Campbell? What do you think?”
Campbell<b>, </b>who had stirred up this issue, seemed much more amiable than before. Suddenly very agreeable, he said<b>, </b><b>“</b>Sure, I’m all for an audition. The other lead I invited from outside the school has just arrived, perfect timing for a test.”
Jethro hadn’t expected Campbell<b>, </b>who had been so protective <b>of </b>Morwenna before, to agree so readily.
When they suggested an audition, Campbell wasn’t the <b>least </b>bit worried.
The other lead was his elder brother, a seasoned actor with the skills of a true leading man. He could lead anyone through a scene or leave them struggling with a single nce.
<b>Would </b>his brother help an outsider over his own family<b>?</b>
Today, they’dpete fairly, ensuring Morwenna earned her spot.
Let’s see who’d dare to gossip then!
As they were talking<b>, </b>a <b>series </b>of screams erupted in the auditorium, drawing everyone’s attention to the entrance. As the figure became <b>clear</b>, the screams intensified, <b>and </b>the <b>crowd </b>surged towards the door.
The security guards panicked, wondering how they were supposed to maintain order before the wee party even started. With everyone <b>rushing </b><b>over</b><b>, </b>someone could get hurt,

<b>Just </b>then, the entering movie <b>star</b>, Matthew, raised his hand.
His smile was charming as he ced a finger to his lips, hushing the crowd.
Silence <b>fell </b>instantly<b>.</b>
