Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 177 You Stand No Chance Against Me

After leaving Merlin's office, instead of heading straight back to the practice room, Elyse lingered in the corridor, waiting for Darren.

A few minutes later, Darren emerged, wearing a long face.

As soon as the office door closed behind him, Elyse hurried over, concern etched on her face.

"Are you okay?"

Darren shook his head, his expression somber. "I'm fine. But I've told the director, and he's not going to pull any strings for me anymore."

Elyse nodded understandingly. "Right now, only a handful of us know about this. If it gets out, everyone in the orchestra will be demanding answers from him."

Darren heaved a sigh of relief. "Yeah, I don't need my uncle risking his own neck for me."

"It's a shame, really. I had plans to play along. I was going to call him out in tomorrow's selection process for breaking the rules. But you've put a stop to that," Vicky said regretfully.

Hearing the sound, they turned to see Vicky leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a mischievous grin on her face.

Vicky had known Darren for ages, after all, her instructor was the assistant director.
