Chapter 180
The only person who could outshine the performing arts department in terms of popularity was Ryder
from the medical school.
But the moment his name was mentioned, Agnes immediately vetoed him.
The reason Agnes did not want to participate in the competition was because she did not want to share
the stage with Ryder
So why was she inviting him to join now?
Kerri said, “Agnes, Ryder is your only shot at winning He’s the top dog in the male lead popularity vote.
If you don’t go for him, Cecile will. You better make a move now! With your relationship with Jared, you
should have no problem convincing him to take your side.”

Agnes was torn
In fact, Kerri was right. Cecile already had a huge advantage. Without Ryder, Agnes wouldn’t stand a
chance of winning.
She didn’t fancy being humiliated by Cecile in public.
After all, she and Ryder were practically family. He should lend a hand if his aunt was in trouble, right?
So, after parting ways with Kerri, Agnes headed straight the medical school.
But Agnes did not expect to be one step behind.
Ryder was in the lab.
The lab was quiet, but Cecile was already there.
“Prince, do me a favor, will you? You’re the top pick in the popularity vote, the rightful male lead. I know
you’re swamped, but you’re a bright spark. You won’t need much rehearsal time. This is about bringing
honor to our school.”
“Plus, the prize money for this competition is 200K. I promise, with our popularity, we can outshine the
other universities. Once we win all the prize money is yours, okay?” “I know you’re not short of cash,
but even if you don’t join now, the school will still force you to participate later on, because you’ve
already been picked as the male lead.” Ryder, engrossed in his experiment, was bothered by Cecile’s
interruptions: Finally, he snapped, “I have no interest in performing in a play. I’ll go talk to Andrea
myself and tell him to find someone else.”
Cecile asked, “Ryder, are you refusing to join my team because you’re waiting for Agnes to ask you?”
At the mention of Agnes, Ryder’s body stiffened slightly.
He looked up to see Agnes standing in the doorway.

Cecile continued loudly, “Ryder, I’m not a fool. I know you fancy Agnes, but you should know that the
two of you can never be together. She is now your…”
“Shut up!” Ryder cut her off sharply.
Caught off guard by Ryder’s icy demeanour, Cecile was left speechless.
Ryder’s expression was colder than usual.
The temperature in the lab seemed to drop a few degrees..
“I… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have said that,” Cecile stuttered.
Ignoring her, Ryder’s gaze shifted past her to the doorway.
Cecile turned around to see Agnes standing quietly in the doorway.
Cecile quickly put two and two together. No wonder Ryder was so upset just now.
She turned to Agnes and snapped, “What are you doing here?
