Chapter 489: Support Me
Hayley’s POV:
Kirsty froze for a moment, her brows furrowing as a flash of panic flickered in her eyes. But she quickly regained her composure and defensively said, “I get it now. You’re saying that because you thought I was trying to blind you, that’s why you changed the script onstage, right?”
“Hayley, it’s bad enough that you’re so vicious, but to make it seem like everyone else is as ruthless as you? How low can you go?”
“With all the new students sitting in the audience and so many leaders around, if I had hurt you, I would’ve been sentenced and demoted to an ordinary werewolf. Do you think I’d do something like that?”
“Just because of your suspicions, you added a scene that ruined the whole play. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?” She shamelessly turned the blame onto me.
There was no reaction from anyone in the room. What should have been a celebration of the successful performance was now overshadowed by Kirsty’s endless complaints, draining half my good mood. I thought to myself, compared to her, they should be more inclined to support me. After all, this is one of the world’s top-tier universities. I’m sure the students around me aren’t idiots. The high-ranking werewolf students must have realized by now what kind of person Kirsty is.
I couldn’t be bothered to waste more time on her. With a cold glance, I turned and left through the side door. As the main performer of the show, I didn’t have much time to prepare, so I needed to hurry and get to Christine’s dressing room to grab my mask.
Meanwhile, Benjamin and Christopher had recognized Hayley in her witch costume and were getting up from the VIP seats to celebrate backstage with her. They searched around but couldn’t find her in the dressing room. Knowing she didn’t like noisy crowds, they decided to check the back door. As they neared the door, they overheard voices and instinctively quieted their steps.
Outside, Kirsty was cautiously scanning the area to make sure no one was watching. Once she was sure, she handed a long black garbage bag wrapped around something to a man. The man took it with a respectful attitude and asked, “Ms. Sullivan, has it been used?”
Kirsty snapped, “Don’t say a word. She’s figured it out and managed to slip away. All that effort I put into this was wasted. One day, I’ll ruin Hayley’s filthy Omega face for good!”
Chapter 489: Support Me
Gaze soft as he looked at Kirsty.
Kirsty scoffed and retorted, “I want Hayley dead, gone from this world forever. Can you do that for me?”
“Erm…” The man hesitated.
Kirsty sneered, “You’re all talk! How could someone like you, a half-blood, pull off something I can’t even do?” She gave the man a disdainful glance, then turned and headed back. Just as she stepped into the door, she ran right into Benjamin and Christopher.
“When did you guys get here?” Kirsty stammered, visibly nervous.
Christopher, hands in his pockets, narrowed his eyes dangerously at her and said, “Seems like quite a problem with Hayley?”
Back in the hall, the judges were scoring the play, and Christine, as the host, took the stage once more.
“Dear friends, the play has come to an end, and tonight’s event is also nearing its close. Now, let us welcome today’s special guest, who will perform Harmony’s ‘All zeros,’ bringing this evening to a perfect conclusion.”
The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, and the spotlight, in sync with the music, landed precisely in the center of the stage. Under the gaze of countless spectators, Hayley stepped onto the stage, dressed in a white shoulder-length dress and high heels, her fox mask perched on her face. Her model-like figure, perfect proportions, and flowing long hair cascading down her shoulders made her look like a goddess descending to earth.
“Take me to your heart…” Her voice was captivating and beautiful, drawing the audience in with every note.
Suddenly, someone gasped, “Could that voice be from Harmony?”
