Female NovelChapter 264
Coming from the backwoods, Morwenna was certainly impressive.
Jethro just sneered at the mention of her pen name, Mora, which seemed to calm the crowd.
He burst out in dissatisfaction, “So what if she’s Mora? There are plenty of newcomers better than her. You can’t just deny everyone else
their chance.”
Campbell had been holding back for a while, but now, with a cold expression, he said, “The welcome party starts in a few hours. What kind of chance are you looking for now? You’re just causing trouble. Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
Back when Adelaide was still hanging around Stuart, Jethro had the audacity to confront anyone, confident that no one in Rosefrost Hollow would dare to retaliate.
But now, with Adelaide abroad, Jethro didn’t dare to offend Campbell and the others too much.
Swallowing hard, Jethro said, “I’m not trying to cause trouble on purpose. If Morwenna’s been chosen as the Freshman Representative, so be it. But I think we should reconsider who plays the lead in the play. I heard there are newcomers who can memorize the script in no time. Why not let everyone audition? After all, acting requires skill, and what kind of acting can someone from the backwoods deliver?” Sandra chimed in, “Exactly. Opportunities should go to the most capable. If someone can memorize the script, we won’t know how good they are until we try.”
Morwenna actually agreed with this point.
She didn’t know the first thing about acting, and being chosen as the Freshman Representative was enough. She didn’t need to compete for everything.
But she didn’t like the person who was speaking, so Morwenna wasn’t going to step down voluntarily.
The Student Council President hesitated. He didn’t want to stir up trouble at this time, but with things having escalated to this point, failing to provide a satisfactory solution could lead to gossip.
Having been the president for two years, he had always managed to stay on good terms with everyone.
Looking at Morwenna, he asked, “Are you okay with letting everyone audition?”
Morwenna nodded. She had no reason to disagree.
Then, turning to Campbell, the president asked, “And you, Campbell? What do you think?”
Campbell, who had stirred up this issue, seemed much more amiable than before. Suddenly very agreeable, he said, “Sure, I’m all for an audition. The other lead I invited from outside the school has just arrived, perfect timing for a test.”
Jethro hadn’t expected Campbell, who had been so protective of Morwenna before, to agree so readily.
When they suggested an audition, Campbell wasn’t the least bit worried.
The other lead was his elder brother, a seasoned actor with the skills of a true leading man. He could lead anyone through a scene or leave them struggling with a single glance.
Would his brother help an outsider over his own family?
Today, they’d compete fairly, ensuring Morwenna earned her spot.
Let’s see who’d dare to gossip then! novelbin
As they were talking, a series of screams erupted in the auditorium, drawing everyone’s attention to the entrance. As the figure became clear, the screams intensified, and the crowd surged towards the door.
The security guards panicked, wondering how they were supposed to maintain order before the welcome party even started. With everyone rushing over, someone could get hurt,

Just then, the entering movie star, Matthew, raised his hand.
His smile was charming as he placed a finger to his lips, hushing the crowd.
Silence fell instantly.
