Chapter 1415:

Leading her to a quieter corner of the party, Elyse let out a long, relieved sigh. “Finally! I can breathe again.”

Noticing the weariness on her face, Victor asked with concern, “Is this kind of crowd too much for you?”

Elyse pushed her bangs out of her face and gave a small, awkward nod. She had always been the type to fade into the background, whether at home or at school, never drawing attention to herself. Being the focus of everyone’s gaze was something entirely foreign to her. With a weary sigh, she said, “It’s overwhelming.”

Victor observed her downcast expression and was reminded of what Pearce had shared with him earlier. Pearce had mentioned that Elyse had recently reunited with her real family.

Family and that her previous living conditions hadn’t been ideal. It made sense why she struggled to adjust to being in the limelight.

Shifting the conversation, Victor said with a grin, “Regardless of everything, I owe you a big thanks. You’ve helped me make such an impression on my friends, and now they’re practically green with envy.”

Elyse let out a light laugh. “It’s really nothing. Please, don’t make a fuss over it.”
