Chapter 193 Cecile launched herself at Kerri out of nowhere.
Thud!
A dull sound echoed through the room.
Cecileâs arm was seized by Agnes, who flipped her onto the ground with one swift move.
Everyone around was stunned speechless.
Agnes moved like lightning, in one fluid motion, leaving everyone awestruck.
Who couldâve seen this coming? Agnes, having such a badass move up her sleeve?
Cecile, winded from the throw, lay on the ground for a good while before growling, âAgnes, you...â
How dare Agnes make a fool of her in public!
Struggling to her feet, Cecile spat, âAgnes, do you think youâve won? The selection isnât over yet, itâs still anyoneâs game.â
With that, Cecile stormed out of the hall.
âWhatâs she up to now?â Kerri rolled her eyes.
Later in the afternoon, the heads of both drama clubs were summoned to the administrative office by Andrea.
âAgnes, your play was fantastic. And who wouldâve thought that Justin even showed up? It gave our school a huge publicity boost, we even made the headlines. The principalâs thinking of rewarding you. So, Iâm announcing that your drama club will be in our school culture festival. Youâve got half a month, so do your best to shineâ Andrea said.
Agnes replied, âWe wonât let you down.â
Just then, Cecile interjected, âIsnât it a bit early to make a decision? I donât think Agnesâ team can pull off the performance!â
âHow so?â
âRomeo and Juliet without Romeo? Howâs that supposed to work?â
Agnes furrowed her brows, an ominous feeling creeping up on her.
She couldnât help but glance at Vinson, the actor playing Romeo.
Sure enough, Vinson was frowning guiltily. He mumbled, âIâm sorry Thereâs been a family emergency, and Iâve asked for a long leave. I canât participate in the upcoming rehearsals, so...â
Agnes felt a chill run down her spine.
Kerri was the first to react, âWhatâs going on at home? Just tell us, we can figure this out together. But you canât back out now, you know how much this selection means to Agnes.â
Vinson hung his head, his voice filled with regret, âAgnes, Iâm really sorry.â
Kerri snapped, âWhat did Cecile offer you to betray us like this, Vinson? Are you really going to screw over everyoneâs hard work these past two weeks Vinson kept his head lowered, his eyes shut and his fingers tightly clenched. All he could muster was a soft, âIâm sorryâ
Cecile, on the other hand, burst into laughter. âWithout Romeo, your team canât perform. Weâll take your place. Agnes, it seems youâve lost the bet after all. According to our agreement, you owe me three slaps I told you, I wonât show mercyâ
Cecileâs arrogance was too much. She walked up to Agnes, and right in front of the principal Andrea, raised her hand to slap her.
But before her hand could land, it was stopped mid-air by a force.
âEnough!â Ryderâs voice echoed across the room.
Everyone was taken aback.
All eyes were now on the cool-headed guy....
Ryder then coldly declared, âIâll take Vinsonâs place.â
