Chapter 235:

Darren was very indifferent. He replied to Vicky’s question, “If you had listened to me, you’d have retained your position as the concertmaster. But you just wouldn’t listen. Bring your fever down first, okay?” He had earlier reminded Vicky to put on a jacket instead of a thin dress should the weather get cold. Yet, his thoughtful suggestion and help were seen as meddling in her affairs. Darren kept his opinion to himself; he shouldn’t have meddled in her business.

Vicky was full of resentment. She sneered, “Am I wrong? You help Elyse because you like her.” He gave a cold smile as he said, “Seems like you are no longer as awesome as you seemed to, right?” Darren was vexed. “Why would she say a thing like that?” he thought. “You are no different from normal people now.

“You hold grudges against Elyse. You feel she stole your position as the concertmaster from you, didn’t you? You should blame yourself instead of Elyse. You didn’t value this tour, so you were replaced with someone who did.” Vicky trembled; she was not willing to accept she was to blame. Furious, she retorted, “I’ll deliver even if I’m sick.

Do you want to embarrass our orchestra before the media? Say you don’t care; do you think we don’t too?”
