Chapter 197 Vicky's Machinations

On the following morning, Elyse woke up feeling stiff and sore all over.

Driscoll shook his head and offered her a glass of water. "He left early this morning. Do you need him for something important?"

She drank the water quickly and then moved to the dining room for breakfast. After eating, she grabbed her violin case and headed off to the rehearsal room.

Upon arriving, Elyse immediately felt a shift in the atmosphere. The other members seemed to regard her with unusual expressions, which left her puzzled.
