The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 132

Edna’s cheeks tinted with embarrassment.

“I’ve published a few pieces before, but honestly, nothing special. I didn’t even get nominated for The Grand Resonance.”

As soon as she mentioned The Grand Resonance, Rebecca’s eyes sharpened, her curiosity clear. “So, you both came to see me because…?”

Candace was quick to catch the shift in the air. She waved her hands, all flustered.

“No, Rebecca, it’s not like that. We’re not here to ask for anything. We just wanted to meet you. You’re so brave, you know? Not only did you stand up to the top student, but you did it with so much grace—even with all those people talking behind your back. We really admire you. I just hope one day, we can be a little like you.”

“Yeah, exactly,” Edna chimed in, nodding enthusiastically, but her nerves only seemed to grow.

They weren’t looking for advice on music or anything. They just genuinely admired her.

Rebecca had met more than her share of people who weren’t sincere. These two didn’t feel like that at all.

She hadn’t planned on sticking around Vantage Point University for long, but something about Candace’s words got to her.

Back at the Jameses, it never mattered how hard she tried. Not a single compliment, no real recognition, nothing but criticisms. When she finally left, Harriet had actually called her “the ungrateful troublemaker the family raised for nothing.”

It wasn’t until she returned to the Russells that she finally felt understood. Her parents recognized her efforts, gave her warmth and support—the kind she’d always wanted.

Rebecca always thought only family or very close friends would trust her like that. She didn’t expect two girls she barely knew would be so genuine, telling her outright they wanted to be more like her.

The cold set of Rebecca’s mouth softened into a small smile, and her eyes lost that usual edge.

“Thank you. Honestly, you don’t need to be anybody else. You’re already amazing. Just be yourselves. I hope I’ll see you at Apex Academy sometime.”

Being able to tell right from wrong and speak honestly was already something special. Maybe they really did have a shot at making it into Apex Academy.

Her words clearly lit something up in both Candace and Edna, their eyes shining with hope and excitement.

Before Rebecca showed up, the spots at Apex Academy hadn’t changed for ages.
