Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 164:

Elyse and Vicky locked eyes, their parting marked by unspoken discord. Upon entering the practice room, Elyse released a heavy sigh before retrieving her violin, poised to begin her rehearsal. It was then that Freddy stepped in, offering a friendly greeting. “You seem burdened,” he remarked, noting Elyse’s solemn expression. “Vicky’s existence must weigh heavily on you.”

Looking up, Elyse met Freddy’s gaze and confided, “It’s usual for me to feel this much pressure.”

Freddy nodded knowingly. “Aside from Vicky, you have four other competitors to contend with: Grace Fuller in second place, Bart Gino in third, Darren Bill in fourth, and Gary Hank in fifth. Are you familiar with them individually?”

Hearing this, Elyse shook her head, indicating her lack of prior knowledge regarding the competitors.

“Grace, Bart, and Gary are all seasoned violinists from previous batches,” Freddy explained. “While not necessarily exceptional, they possess formidable skills.”

Pausing, Freddy added, “Darren and Vicky, on the other hand, are rising stars. Although newcomers, they show promise. Unfortunately, Darren’s nerves got the best of him during his last performance, likely due to seeing Cody Tucker.”

Elyse absorbed this information, her curiosity piqued. “Is Vicky’s instructor the assistant director of the orchestra?”

Glancing around cautiously, Freddy leaned in to whisper, “Yes, Vicky’s mentor happens to be the assistant director. And Darren? He’s the director’s nephew.”

Elyse was taken aback. “Both of them have influential connections.”
