NovelEnglishChapter 484:
Tracy took it upon herself to persuade Elyse, seeing herself as a guardian of their love. When Elyse and Jayden
eventually reconciled, they must reward her handsomely; otherwise, she would withhold her help the next time.
To Elyse’s astonishment, Jayden appeared, despite their previous quarrel having been intense and tempestuous.
She found the situation intricate. Holding her phone, she stared at the photo for a prolonged moment before
finally sending a message. “I understand.” She then set her phone aside.
Tracy observed that Elyse’s expression had softened. Raising an eyebrow, she inquired with a hint of playful
curiosity, “Feeling better now? He’s waiting for you in the audience, isn’t he?”
Elyse nodded. “I didn’t expect him to come.”
Tracy sprang to her feet, clapping her hands in delight. “My mission is accomplished. I'll be waiting in the
audience. You should head backstage to get prepared.”

Elyse nodded, watching Tracy depart. She then retrieved her lipstick from her purse and applied it, gazing at her
reflection until she felt a sense of calm wash over her.
As the moment approached, Fiona stood and said, “Let's head backstage.”
“Alright, let's go.”
Elyse linked Fiona’s arm, and they walked backstage at a leisurely pace. On their way, they encountered Vicky
and Darren.
The moment Darren saw Elyse, he left Vicky behind and approached her with a smile. “Are you ready? I'm aiming
to beat you to first place.”

Elyse returned his smile. “Of course, I'm ready. I'm afraid you might not beat me.”
Vicky was speechless as she witnessed the friendly banter between Elyse and Darren. “What a revolting
conversation! How can the top two competitors have such a good relationship? You should be rivals, always.”
Elyse glanced at Vicky with puzzlement. “Do you only see people as competitors and not friends in your life?”
“Can you be friends with your rivals?” Vicky scoffed.
Elyse responded calmly, “Human relationships are intricate and cannot be encapsulated in a single word. Darren
and | can be friends and rivals simultaneously. We understand and challenge each other. It's a beautiful
dynamic.”
Darren stifled a laugh and remarked, “Let’s drop it. Vicky the genius has no friends, only sycophants, which is
why she dislikes hanging out.”
“Darren Reynolds!” Vicky was livid. She truly couldn’t fathom why Darren was so supportive of Elyse. After all,
she had known him longer than Elyse did. “Why do you always oppose me? Shouldn't you be siding against Elyse

Darren responded confidently, “Elyse is certainly my friend. We're very close, and naturally, I'm willing to take
her side.”
“Hopeless! Pathetic!” Vicky, not wanting to engage with Darren any longer, swiftly walked away, clutching the
violin case tightly to her chest.
Elyse observed Vicky's somber demeanor and furrowed her brow. “Haven't we pushed too hard this time? She
appears to be upset.”
Darren shook his head solemnly. “I honestly wish she’d allow herself to feel sad for once. Maybe then she’d take
a moment to reflect on her issues. She’s never considered herself wrong before, always been so arrogant.”
Then, a thought struck Darren, and he continued, “You know what? Vicky has been in a really rough patch lately.
She's been making mistakes in the orchestra, and Grace's overall score has been outshining hers. She must be
starting to doubt herself, and that’s probably why she’s acting this way.”
