Chapter 69
Willow walked out from backstage and headed to the lobby to find the cheerleading team,
At the same time, Eliana and her group stood up from their seals, preparing to head into the theat
The cheerleaders spotted Willow and called out to her, then ran over.
“Willow! You’re here!” said the ponytailed girl.
The short–haired girl asked, “Willow, did you get the tickets? Can we go in now??
Willow looked embarrassed and hesitated before saying, “Sorry, guys, I couldn’t get the tickets?
“What?” Everyone was stunned, and their cheerful faces stiffened immediately.
“How could that bet Didn’t you say you had tickets? Did we come all this way for nothing?” the girl in black asked
The ponytailed girl said. “Yeah, didn’t you say you had a relative working here?”
Willow didn’t know how to explain. After all, she had confidently assured them earlier that tickets were guaranteed.
ust have
As she hesitated, she suddenly noticed a group of people walking by out of the corner of her eye. Her expression faltered, thinking she must seen wrong, but she quickly turned to look.
It was Eliana and her group, heading through the VIP ticket check. She saw that the tickets in the staff’s hand were internal tickets.
Willow thought. So it’s th
it’s them after all! I should have known. How could the tickets I reserved suddenly disappear? There were six tickets, and coincidentally. Eliana’s group also had six people. Nothing good ever happens whenever I run into that bitch!
Willow immediately understood the tickets that were supposed to be hers had been taken by Eliana and her group.
Her expression darkened as she said, “Our tickets were taken by someone else.”
A girl in pink asked. “Taken? Who took our tickets?”
Willow raised her hand and pointed at Eliana and her group at the VIP check, her anger boiling over. It’s them!”
The cheerleaders looked in the direction Willow was pointing and immediately spotted Eliana and Stella among the six. The other four were the school’s most famous guys.
“Ehana and Stella! How on earth did try get tickets? The cheerleaders erupted in outrage.
The joy they had felt earlier had turned into utter disappointment.
They had taken many

Huw, not only did they not have tickets, but they had also waited for nothing.
Willow was seething inside bar put on a magnanimous act. The tickets were originally reserved, but I guess they have connections. Forget it, let’s just leave. For really sorry for making you all come for nothing. How about I treat you all to a meal later?”
The cherricaders were fuming glaring at Eliana’s group as they checked their tickets.
But they knew causing a scene in a public place like the theater would only make them look crazy and risk getting thrown out by security.

Out of the four, Cameron was the most low–key.
‘s past life, she had had little to no interaction with Cameron. Though they had attended the same university, her attention had always
been on Roman
After graduation, she had heard nothing about Cameron. Or perhaps she simply wasn’t in the same circles to even hear of him.
Naturally, there had been no overlap between them. She had always assumed Cameron was just another guy born with a silver spoon. But she didn’t expect his family to be influential as well
Willow asked curiously, “What does Cameron’s Lamily dol”
The shon–haired girl said. “You don’t know? Oh, night. I just remembered you’re not from Dratora City. It’s not surprising you
“Don’t keep me guessing. Tell me already, urged Willow.
Under Willow’s persistent questioning, they began explaining as they walked out of the theater.
know.”
The short–haired girl said, “Well, we didn’t know at first either. It was only because our club president had some interaction with Cameron that we found out. His parents work in the govemment, you know……“
The cheerleaders roughly told Willow about Cameron’s family background.
In short, his family had been in government for generations, with noble roots. His parents were in top government roles, and he was essentially raised like royalty in the heart of power.
Hearing this. Willow’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had never imagined Cameron came from such a distinguished background
The girl in pink noticed her reaction and chuckled, saying, “Don’t be fooled by how low–key he is, He’s actually the real big shot in our school Just the other day, he got someone kicked out of the tennis club with just one word. Who else has that kind of pull?”
The pony–haired girl added. “But not anyone can get close to Cameron. Even Thomas and the others only get to hang out with him because they’ve been friends since childhood
“With his family background, he’s very selective about who he befriends. His future path has probably been planned out for years. As for women like Eliana and Stella, they don’t even come close to meeting the bar for his family!”
The girl in black ridiculed, “Meeting the bar? Please, they’re even lower than us! It’s laughable.
Willow was stunned. She never expected Eliana to have such luck in associating with Cameron, nor did she realize Cameron was the most exceptional among the four.
She thought. They’re right. For regular wealthy families, people like Eliana are only worthy of being their mistress. But for someone like Cameron, his family would undoubtedly seek a match of equal status.
Even if Eliana is lucky enough to be friends with Cameron, it’s impossible for their relationship to progress further: Thinking this way made Willow feel slightly better.
The cheerleaders hadn’t been able to watch the first performance of The Banquet, and they left with an even deeper grudge against Eliana and
Stella.
They couldn’t afford to provoke Cameron and his friends, but Eliana and Stella were another matter entirely.

In Eliana’s memories of her previous life, Willow had been the most famous one in her class.
As for the rest, some had persevered in acting, while others had pursued further studies.
The film industry was far too competitive, and becoming a professional stage actor was a respectable alternative.
