Chapter 268 Mabel's New Album
The reporters didn't care about Elyse's late arrival, leaving Vicky unable to exploit the situation. Instead, she sulked in silence.
Once Elyse returned, the reporters directed all their questions to her, excluding Vicky from the conversation.
But Elyse, unlike Vicky, didn't hog the spotlight.
She made sure to acknowledge other orchestra members and even mentioned those practicing in the rehearsal room.
She suggested genuinely, "If you're curious, I really remend checking out our rehearsal. You'll see how hard everyone's working. Without that dedication, our first performance wouldn't have been such a success."
Vicky resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Elyse's display of sincerity but held back because of the
cameras.
She was the only one not happy.
With the reporters present, everyone felt fortable talking openly without needing to cater to Vicky.
After the interview, they guided the reporters to the rehearsal room. At first, the rehearsing members were confused, but soon their excitement grew upon realizing the reporters were there
to film them.
Once the video was taken, the reporters left.
Their manager arrived shortly afterward and asked Elyse in a harsh tone, "Where were you just
now? How could you vanish at such an important moment?"
"I'm really sorry. It was my fault," Elyse admitted softly, her voice tinged with seriousness.
The manager gave her a few final words before dismissing her.
With a nod, Elyse limped back.
She couldn't tell who had locked her in, but she wouldn't let that
person off easily if she found out.
Vicky had been assigned as the concertmaster for the nextOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Elyse followed the manager's instructions, blending into the group for practice. She still had
responsibilities, even without being a concertmaster.
Half a month later, Elyse wrapped up her second performance as
concertmaster
By now, she'd already gathered a following of fans.
After the performance, Elyse joined the team as they left the concert hall.

A few staff members stepped in, guiding her to the bus while someone joked, "Looks like we've got a real star concertmaster on our hands!"
Flustered by their teasing, Elyse blushed and clutched her violin case as she found an empty seat and quietly sat down.
She didn't notice the dark, bitter expression on Vicky's face.
Vicky had her share of fans and had risen to fame before Elyse, she believed she was the real star concertmaster.
She was upset, but now wasn't the time to show it.
"Hey, Elyse, you're trending!" a girl next to Elyse said, pointing at the screen. "Everyone's praising your performance!"
Elyse glanced over but quickly shifted her attention to another trending topic: #MabelsNewAlbum. Elyse immediately felt uneasy
How could Mabel release a new album so suddenly? Did she get someone else to write new songs for her?
She quickly pulled out her phone, and plugged in her headphones.
As she listened to Mabel's songs, her face went pale.

It never crossed her mind that Mabel would have taken her original works and released them on
her album.
'As she watched the fans praising the album and Mabel, Elyse was furious.
Those were her works!
In the late afternoon, instead of heading home, Elyse asked the driver to take her straight to Mabel's agency.
After identifying herself to the receptionist, she was informed. "Mabel isn't in right now. She's got
a packed schedule lately. Can I help you with anything else?"
Elyse asked, "Is Mabel's agent here? I'd like to speak with her."
Though puzzled, the receptionist tried her best to relay the message.
Soon enough, Mabel's agent appeared, still on her phone.
She approached Elyse in a business suit and high heels, only hanging up after a few minutes.
"Ms. Lloyd, I remember you. How can I assist?" she asked before fetching two glasses of water. One was for herself, and the other was for Elyse.
Elyse looked at the glass, her expression sullen. "Are you aware that the songs on Mabel's latest album were posed by me?" she asked sharply.
