Olivia glanced into the distance.

Ethan was standing nearby, talking on the phone.

Iris was genuinely speechless at her confidence. “Are you sure about that?”

“Of course I am!” Olivia lifted her chin proudly. “He’s even invited me to the Capital City Music la ina few days. We’ll be sitting in the VIP section together.”

The moment she mentioned the event, her face lit up with smug satisfaction.

Things between her and Ethan were going very well. He had already helped the Sutton family resolve several minor issues. Once they became officially engaged, she’d be able to use Mayor Vaughn’s influence to completely pull her family out of its financial crisis.

The fact that Ethan was willing to take her to the gala proved he was ready to introduce her to his social circle.

An engagement couldn’t be far away.

Iris simply nodded. She had no interest in arguing further.

Turning around, she walked away.

Olivia hadn’t finished showing off and was about to call after her when Ethan’s voice sounded behind her.

“Olivia, who were you talking to?”

She immediately dropped the nasty expression she’d been wearing and replaced it with a gentle smile.

“No one important. I just ran into my sister and chatted for a bit.”

“Chatted?” Ethan looked toward Iris’s retreating figure as she disappeared through the university gates. “For what?”

For some reason, she looked familiar.

Very familiar.

Yet he couldn’t remember where he’d seen her before.

Seeing him stare after Iris, Olivia’s heart sank.

She quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his view.

“I’d rather you spend more time looking at me.”

Ethan snapped back to attention and smiled as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

“Of course. You’re my favorite person, aren’t you?”

Olivia’s smile finally returned.

“Just make sure you do well at the music gala this time,” Ethan reminded her. “Don’t repeat what happened last time.”

“Don’t worry!” she said confidently. “I’ve prepared much more thoroughly this time.”

Ethan genuinely intended to marry Olivia someday. But if that was going to happen, she needed be polished into someone who matched his status.

This time, she wouldn’t simply be performing.

She would be entering the competition itself.

Back at her dormitory, Iris opened her laptop and immediately noticed a new email.

“The Capital City Music Gala?”

She blinked.

Hadn’t they just held one recently?

Why was another being organized so soon?

Curious, she opened the message and read through it.

Then she understood.

The organizers had finally managed to secure an opening in the schedule of a famous international orchestra.

Rather than wait another year, they had decided to host the next gala ahead of schedule.

They had also invited a renowned musician to serve as a judge.

The Capital City Music Gala traditionally consisted of two parts.

One was the performance segment.

The other was a competition designed to bring fresh talent into the association.

After checking the dates. Iris realized the event fit perfectly into her schedule.

She replied and accepted the invitation.

Besides, several familiar names appeared on the guest list.

People she hadn’t spoken to in quite some time.

Life at Capital University wasn’t easy.

Especially for freshmen.

During the first semester, students practically had classes all day, every day.

Complaints could be heard everywhere.

Because Iris had been selected for Professor Joe’s laboratory during her first year, she was even busier than most students.

Professor Joe tried to pull her from less important classes whenever possible.

Most professors who knew the circumstances simply looked the other way.

One day, after finishing an experiment, Professor Joe asked Nathan and an upperclassman to escort her back to class.

Originally, she intended to slip in quietly through the back door.

Unfortunately, she was caught immediately by Professor Lane.

“Some students,” he said coldly, “only decide to show up after class is practically over. Don’t you think that’s a bit inappropriate?”

Professor Lane was from another department.

Their regular instructor was currently on maternity leave, and he had been assigned to teach the course for the semester.

Before leaving, the original professor had specifically explained that some students were occasionally called away by other faculty members to assist with projects.

Those absences were approved by the university and shouldn’t be counted against them.

Professor Lane disagreed entirely.

He had scoffed at the idea.

“You’re far too lenient. Freshmen should behave like freshmen. The moment they get into university, they think they can stop taking classes seriously. This is Capital University, not a playground. I’d better not see students like that in my classroom.”

And now one had appeared.

Not only that-

She had walked in through the back door just before class ended.

“You’re Iris Noir, correct?”

Professor Lane opened the attendance sheet and marked a large X beside her name.

He had heard of her before.
