Heartstrings on Fire novel 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."

What Agnes didn't tell Kerri was that Ryder was currently pissed at her.

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?"
