The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 108

She glanced at her phone and saw a familiar number flash across the screen.

“Bekki, guess what? I’m at Vantage Point University, but Wade won’t let me in. He even warned me not to contact you. Like that’s going to stop me. Are you free tonight? We should get together. Oh, and Susan is here too.”

Rebecca couldn’t help but smile at the message.

It was Elbert Camp, the music maestro who had been determined to make her his protégé ever since he first heard her play Waltz in A Minor.

And Susan—he always meant her manager, the one handling everything for The Grand Resonance.

“Bekki, we’re already near campus tonight to discuss something with Wade. We decided to grab dinner after. Since you’re here, why not join us?”

Susan, who never missed a chance to impress Elbert, quickly jumped in to persuade her.

“But Vantage Point University isn’t open to outsiders,” Rebecca replied. “If I break the rules, I could get in trouble. Maybe let’s do this another time?”

Rebecca had a strong feeling Elbert showing up wasn’t just a coincidence, and she really wasn’t in the mood for complications.

Susan picked up on her hesitation, her voice suddenly turning soft and a bit dramatic.

“Bekki, do you even remember the last time we got together? It’s been a year. You haven’t sent me any new work or checked in about the competitions. I get that you’re busy—I’ve never bothered you about it—but you can’t just keep ignoring everything forever, right?”

Rebecca felt a stab of guilt. The whole mess with the James and Gates families had kept her busy for a year, and Susan had gotten lost in the shuffle. It didn’t feel right to keep brushing her off.

“Okay,” Rebecca replied, giving in, “just send me the address. I’ll come straight over.”

She could practically hear Susan’s relief through the phone. “See, I told Elbert you have a heart! I’ll wait for you tonight!”

A notification popped up on her phone a few minutes later with the location.

Nocturne again?

Lily, refusing to let it drop, pressed on. “This is about the whole reputation of Vantage Point University—it’s a big deal, Wade. You can’t just brush it aside.”

Wade saw right through her and gave her a look before telling Ablitt to fetch Rebecca.

Rebecca had been coming toward his office anyway, so as soon as she reached the door, Ablitt brought her in.

Ablitt glanced at Wade, noticed his sour mood, and figured Rebecca must be in trouble. He turned to her, all seriousness.

“Rebecca, just because Wade thinks highly of you doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Look at Lily—she’s terrified. She told you to stand in the hall as punishment, so why did you take off? That’s just not acceptable. You broke the rules, and it’s really up to Lily whether you get punished or not.”

Hearing Ablitt scold Rebecca so sternly, Lily finally felt a little better.

“Rebecca, you never even had the right to be here. It’s only because of Wade that you got a chance to study at Vantage Point University. You should be grateful, not acting like you don’t even care. Do this again and no one’s going to want to teach you here.”
