Chapter 450

Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me

“It’s all right,” Arielle called out calmly. “We have completed our rehearsal.”

Arielle pointed toward Trisha’s sand painting as she spoke.

From their position on stage, the teachers had a perfect view of Trisha’s sand painting.

The goddess in her painting looked so realistic that it felt like she could step out of the sand painting at
any moment. Trisha’s talented artistic skills further enhanced the painting’s beauty.

Amongst the teachers, Marcus was the first to offer his praise. “That is a beautiful painting. Trish, I’m
proud to have you as my goddaughter.”

Hearing his words, the other teachers jolted in shock.

Although they knew that Marcus had a son studying at Maxwell University, they weren’t aware of his
goddaughter. I can’t believe Marcus’s goddaughter’s attending the freshman party!

“I have a piano at home. If the two of you don’t mind the hassle, I can offer you a lift. There, you can
rehearse your performance.” One of the teachers who were eager to gain Marcus’s favor stepped
forward and extended an invitation to both girls.

Arielle rejected his offer with a shake of her head. “It’s all right. We can perform tomorrow without any
more rehearsals.”

The teacher was stunned by Arielle’s response. “Are you sure you don’t need a rehearsal?’

“Nope. I am familiar with this piece. I’m confident that I don’t need any more practice.” Arielle shook her
head again.



“Okay.” The teacher relented. “Then, to compensate for the lack of rehearsals, I’ll give you the green light
on the proposal you suggested before. Trisha can sit backstage and use the projector to project her
painting on the big screen.”

His words caused Trisha’s heart to leap with joy as she clutched Arielle’s hand in excitement.

On stage, Wendy looked at their clasped hands with simmering jealousy.

Being the principal’s goddaughter, shouldn’t she befriend someone like me? Since I’m from Horrington,
it’s only right if she mingles with someone of similar status. I can’t believe she’s so close with Arielle. Isn’t
she embarrassed to be seen with a country bumpkin like Arielle?

Envious of Arielle’s connections, Wendy seized the opportunity to approach Trisha when Arielle went to
the washroom.

“Is your name Trish?” Wendy asked sweetly.

Wendy knew Trisha’s personality like the back of her hand. Due to Trisha’s timidity, she made sure to
look as friendly as possible. But the moment she opened her mouth, Trisha was so startled that she
stumbled backward in fear.

Trisha’s actions left Wendy displeased. Why is she so afraid of me? Although my looks aren’t drop-dead
gorgeous, I’m still beautiful enough to pass as a celebrity. So why is Trisha looking at me with such a
fierce gaze?

“What are you trying to do?” Trisha asked warily.

Her question left Wendy stunned. Arielle must have been spreading spiteful lies about me behind my
back! No wonder Trisha is so wary of me.



Right away, Wendy acted as if she had been wronged. “It looks like Arielle has been telling you lies about
me In truth, I’m nothing like the person she makes me out to be. Don’t you know that Arielle is the
problem here? She’s nothing but a s*ut who tricked Christopher. Didn’t you see him defending her
earlier? Let me give you a piece of advice; it’d be best if you keep your distance from her.”

“Wendy, Arielle has never spoken badly about you. Instead, you are the one who keeps belittling her.
Has she ever done anything to earn your insults? She’s clearly a good person.” Trisha mustered her
courage to defend Arielle fiercely.

“A good person?” Wendy felt disgusted by Trisha’s description of Arielle. “I don’t think a good person
would act like such a s*ut. You shouldn’t hang around

with her so much,” Wendy replied coldly.

Promptly, a dark look loomed across Trisha’s face.

“Wendy, if you slander Arielle again, I will not hesitate to report you to the student council!” For the first
time in her life, Trisha raised her tone.

“You-” Wendy gritted her teeth in anger. Knowing that she couldn’t sway Trisha anymore, Wendy spun on
her heel and left after a final sentence. “You can’t tell the difference between good and evil!”

At the same time, Arielle emerged from the washroom and caught sight of Wendy, who left the scene
with a dark look. From a distance, Trisha glared at Wendy’s retreating figure as she huffed angrily.
