Chapter 854:

After a moment's gloom, Cody managed a weak nod. “I suppose you're right. | can’t change her mind. Just let it

be.”

Gavin nodded in approval. “That's the spirit. Let's head back to the audience. We might still catch Elyse’s

performance.”

Cody murmured an agreement, his shoulders slumped as they made their way back. Meanwhile, Elyse was

backstage, her eyes fixed nervously on the performers.

Geraldine approached quietly. “Where have you been? You vanished for a while!”

Caught off guard, Elyse quickly fabricated an excuse. “I was practicing alone.”

Geraldine’s frown deepened. “Practicing today? You're really pushing yourself too hard.”

Elyse gave a small smile. “I'm just trying to do my best.”

Though Geraldine pouted, slightly upset, she decided not to press further. She then gestured towards Edward

and asked, “What's with him? Why does he look so worried?”

Following Geraldine’s gaze, Elyse noticed Edward clasping his hands together, his demeanor one of deep prayer.

Geraldine remarked with a hint of concern, “I've never seen him look so serious before. It's actually makinga

bit anxious.”

Elyse responded thoughtfully, “Well, it’s the last competition. Everyone's eager to win. It'd be odd if he weren't

serious.”

Geraldine agreed wholeheartedly, “Absolutely! With the last competition on the line, Edward is bound to give his

best.”

Elyse clutched her chest and gave a wry smile. “Please, don’t remind me. My heart's pounding like it’s going to

burst. It wasn’t this intense even when | was on stage earlier.”

Hearing this, Geraldine raised an eyebrow and teased, “I hope you get so nervous that you mess up your

performance. It'd be nice to have one less tough competitor.”

Elyse chuckled heartily and said, “That won't happen. I'm going to nail my performance and snag first place.”

“In your dreams!” Geraldine shot back with a playful stare. Knowing she needed to step away to manage her

own jitters, she thought it best to find a quiet corner to regain her composure.

Once the others had dispersed from her vicinity, Elyse laid a hand on her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.

That was when Darren approached her.

Whispering close to her ear, he mentioned, “I bumped into Jayden this morning. He was by himself and seemed

really isolated, but he actually responded nicely when | said hello. Can you believe it?”

Elyse looked confused. “He’s always polite. What's so shocking about that?”

Darren said helplessly, “But his politeness is usually reserved just for you. It's so obvious; anyone could tell he

favors you immensely.”
