Chapter 285:
Rebekah blinked and inquired, “Aren’t you relieved now that Elyse is soon out of the picture? With her gone,
there’s no one to rival you.”
Vicky chuckled, her gaze icy. “Elyse is just on temporary leave. Once this blows over, she’ll be back.”
Elyse was a musical prodigy, and there was no legitimate reason for the orchestra senior leaders to push her out.
Vicky understood that if it were easy to remove Elyse, her instructor wouldn't be so troubled.
Suddenly, Rebekah had a realization. “So that's what's been bothering you. Don’t worry. Elyse won't be making a
comeback.”
"Why are you so sure she won't return?” Vicky inquired, puzzled.
Rebekah casually toyed with the expensive bracelet adorning her wrist, worth over a hundred thousand dollars
and a cherished possession. As she fiddled with it, Rebekah casually revealed, “Because | possess evidence that
Mabel stole her sheet music. Even if Elyse attempts to defend herself, she can’t do so without evidence.”

"You actually have evidence!” Vicky exclaimed, shocked.
Seeing such a rare display of surprise on Vicky's face, Rebekah couldn't help but feel amused. “There's no need
to be so astonished. It’s really not that big of a deal.”

Vicky's eyes betrayed a complex mix of emotions. Logically, she should have felt pleased. After all, if Elyse
couldn’t prove her innocence without evidence, she would be ousted from Celestial Sounds Symphony. With
Elyse out of the picture, no one could challenge her position in the orchestra.
On the other hand, Rebekah’s words confirmed that Elyse was indeed a genius. Those melodies were
unmistakably Elyse’s creations. Vicky had previously harbored doubts about Elyse’s ability to compose them,
suspecting that someone else had actually written them.
As Vicky stood, a sudden realization struck her, leading her to question Rebekah. “Do you despise Elyse?”
Rebekah’s reply was immediate and resolute. “Yes. Don’t you?”
Vicky scoffed, “Why should 17”
Rebekah regarded Vicky with a pitying smile. “Because Elyse surpasses you in talent. If you don’t oust her, your
status as the most gifted violinist will be threatened.”
Vicky's glare at Rebekah brimmed with rage and indignation. Rebekah couldn't stifle her laughter. “Why the
anger? I'm helping you. Shouldn't you be grateful?”
Uninterested in further discourse, Vicky brushed past her and hurried away. Rebekah couldn’t help but find
Vicky's reaction amusing. It appeared that even a genius like Vicky could feel threatened when someone more
talented emerged. Rebekah admired the sparkle of her bracelet in the sunlight. She murmured to herself, “That
troubleswoman will soon be out of the picture. Just endure a little longer.”
Meanwhile, not far off, Freddy covertly observed Rebekah. Feeling a pang of melancholy, Elyse dialed her driver's
number, arranging for a ride home. Sitting by the flower bed, she waited patiently.
Suddenly, a black car pulled up nearby. Two suspicious figures emerged, one of them clutching a camera. Elyse’s
heart sank with suspicion, fearing they could be paparazzi here to stalk her.

She quickly donned her mask and feigned absorption in her phone, hoping to avoid their attention. The two
paparazzi were unable to gain entry to the orchestra’s building. Spotting Elyse with her violin case, they
approached her.
They exchanged glances before inquiring, “Are you affiliated with Celestial Sounds Symphony? Perhaps you are
acquainted with Elyse Lloyd?”
Elyse, keeping her head lowered, gestured to her throat, indicating her inability to speak. Believing she was
unwell, the paparazzi refrained from further probing and proceeded to restheir surveillance around the
building.
Feeling relieved to have evaded them, Elyse exhaled. Yet, her relief was fleeting as she observed another vehicle
pulling up nearby, with two additional paparazzi disembarking with cameras in hand.
Witnessing several more black cars arriving, Elyse was startled. Before long, a dozen individuals had gathered at
the entrance of the building. Did they all assemble for her?
Upon scrolling Twitter, Elyse stumbled upon an anonymous post alleging that Mabel’s sister stood as Jayden’s
lawful spouse. Furthermore, she was the individual who called off the wedding with Theo Ward previously.
Absorbing this revelation, Elyse sensed herself teetering on the edge of a breakdown. It appeared these
paparazzi were truly pursuing her.
