Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

53 The Bloody Incident

Selma Payne’s POV:

After the Midnight Opera House, which you could think of as Broadway in the werewolf society, sent them an invitation to perform, the drama club became famous. The actors became even more popular.

Quite a few students noticed the commotion, so I had no choice but to pull Mara and the others out of the cafeteria.

The cold winter wind calmed them down. After a while, Avil said, “Alright, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have judged you and Carolyn so harshly.”

“I’m also at fault,” Mara said, shaking her head. “You’re right. I admire Carolyn so much that I don’t care about other people’s feelings. How sad must Chloe be right now?”

I asked, “Aren’t they going to premiere it on Sunday at the Midnight Opera House? It’s already Wednesday. Will they make it for rehearsal?”

“I don’t know,” Mara said unhappily. “You know I’m in the logistics team. I only have to decorate the stage and dress the actors. As for other things, Ryan never discussed with us and acted arbitrarily. This may be a common problem with talented directors.”

“So,” Dorothy said. “It was Carolyn who requested to get the role?”

“Yes,” Mara nodded, “She said she wanted to present her most beautiful side to her fiancé like the young maiden, Quincy Scott. Think about what happened back there, Moon Goddess! All Carolyn had to make this request gently, and all the boys, including Ryan, agreed without hesitation.”

“Was Chloe there?” I asked, frowning.

It would be impolite to take the role away from the female lead.

“Of course she was. In fact, Chloe was practicing her positioning with the extras. When she stepped off the stage, she was told she was off the female lead role.”

“Poor girl!” Avril exclaimed softly. “I can’t imagine how sad she must be.”

“She helped the drama club rise from a nobody to the top,” Dorothy added. “And then she is removed after the grinding is done. I have to say; this is a microcosm of the entertainment industry.”

I didn’t know Chloe very well, and I was also indignant on her behalf, so I couldn’t help but have a bad impression of the transfer student, Carolyn.

Although the entire matter appeared to be Ryan and the others’ decision, wasn’t Carolyn the one who had arrogantly made the request and enjoyed the outcome?

Such a tactic gave me an indescribable feeling-disgust and contempt.

Carolyn was different from Aldrich and me. She was like a child from a genuine, noble family. She looked gentle on the surface, but she had a natural arrogance.

This reminded me of those queen bees I saw in high school. They were unscrupulous bullies, and the only difference was whether their tricks were fierce or gentle.

Without a doubt, Carolyn was the latter.

“Maybe we shouldn’t underestimate her.” I sighed. “I only hope that her acting addiction only acts up on the stage and not in real life.”

Dorothy said, “But, seriously, fiancée in ‘the Butterfly Lady’? That can’t be auspicious.”

“Who cares about her?” Avril said, “For a lady who wants to be in the limelight, the position of the female lead is the most important thing. I bet she doesn’t even know the story of ‘the Butterfly Lady’.”

The girls all laughed.

I kept having a bad feeling. It was as if Carolyn was going to become a huge problem.

I could only hope that she would not cause any trouble.

What I was afraid of happened. Although I repeatedly prayed that Carolyn wasn’t a troublemaker, trouble still happened.

The incident happened on a peaceful afternoon. Without any warning, an armed fight broke out in the drama club.

Yes, an armed melee.

No one knew why a group of werewolves had given up their fists and used fruit knives and baseball bats instead. The metal had caused severe consequences.

Three students were seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, while more than a dozen were covered in bruises.

The university students were called to help maintain order, so I had to stop the curious students from breaking into the theater while preventing the hot-blooded boys from fighting again.

The principal and the teachers were watching the troublemaking students seriously. Such a terrible incident had never happened since Sivir Academy’s establishment. When blood was seen in a student’s fight, it was not something that the school could handle. The police had to be involved.

“I heard Chloe’s boyfriend came to the drama club to cause trouble!” Of course, Mara always got first-hand news. “He fought with Ryan.”

I could guess why. “Is it because Carolyn stole Chloe’s role?”

“It’s obvious, isn’t it? But, if I were Chloe, I wouldn’t give it up either,” said Avril.

“No.” Dorothy shook her head. “I don’t think Chloe was behind this. She’s kind. Maybe even a little weak. Have you guys heard her say anything bad about Carolyn? I don’t think she’d dare to ask her boyfriend to do that. ”

I believed Dorothy more. Since her witch bloodline awakened, her prophetic talent seemed to have penetrated all aspects of life. She didn’t have to do anything special to see through a person’s nature easily.

“Ha! A high school boy who values his reputation more than anything else,” said Avil with a sneer. “Maybe he thinks that Carolyn bullying Chloe has embarrassed him.”

The police came to escort the troublemaking students away. I saw Chloe was holding back tears and wanted to go with her boyfriend, but she was pushed aside by a kid called Adam.
