Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 165 Determined To Never Yield

Merlin slowly stroked his chin and asked, "Have you ever thought that your path won't be smooth

if you find yourself in the spotlight too much due to the poor state of your foundation?"

Understanding what Merlin's words really meant, Elyse widened her eyes in shock.

Clearly, Merlin was telling her to give up!

Fuming inwardly, she couldn't help but wonder why he would want her to do such a thing.

Was it because there was no one backing her and that she had the potential to be better than other contestants?

Clearing her throat, Elyse locked her eyes onto Merlin's and replied firmly, "Sure, I don't have any powerful connections, but that doesn't mean I don't have an iota of strength. I have and shall always fight for myself."

Merlin let out a sigh and said expressionlessly, "There's nothing wrong with young people working hard to achieve their dreams. Then he ceased talking and looked away.

Not wanting Darren to see her red nose, Elyse covered it and tried not to make eye contact with him. She really hated him a lot now. Noticing that Elyse was hostile towards him, Darren asked calmly, "Seeing that you just came out of the director's office, is it safe to say
