Chapter 242 Always known for her sunny disposition, the event coordinator reassured, “Don’t worry about it. If you can’t find someone, the student council will help out. It’s just a regular speech and a normal play performance. As a student from Rosefrost University, Morwenna, you sho

uld feel a sense of collective pride. I doubt you’d refuse.” Morwenna always took pride in being part of the community. Hearing that, she could only nod in agreement, albeit reluctantly. The only downside was that participating would mean busier days ahead, leaving no time for her beloved books. To Morwenna, who had always hungered for knowledge, it was a tough pill to swallow. The sight of her unattended books was a bit heartbreaking. Seeing Morwenna’s agreement, the planner said with satisfaction, “Great, Morwenna. You can prepare your speech within the next few days. Rehearsals with everyone will be at the auditorium after six every evening. As for finding an alumni to assist, give it a shot, but don’t worry. We’ve got it covered if it doesn’t work out.” Realizing the council would have her back either way, Morwenna felt slightly more at ease and nodded compliantly. “Okay, I’ll finish the speech quickly and attend the rehearsals on time.” The planner looked at Morwenna’s lovely and obedient demeanor, finally understanding why the student council’s vice president insisted on choosing her as the speaker. Beautiful and amiable, it was no wonder she caught the vice president’s eye right from the start. But it was all a misunderstanding. Campbell, the vice president in question, wasn’t acting out of personal interest in Morwenna. Having already informed Morwenna about the event, he felt he’d done a good deed. College wasn’t as fun as she had imagined. It was quite different from high school. With everyone on different schedules, one might go a whole semester without connecting with his classmates. Some students might only know their roommates after four years without participating in activities. Campbell believed he had to help Morwenna out since Norbert held her in such high regard, and his grandfather had even called to mention her. Her story was perfect for a freshman representative speech. And the performance? That was just an opportunity for Morwenna to shine before everyone. In the sparse social landscape of college life, such exposure was like striking gold in social standing. As for external graduate support, Campbell had already secured the best candidate without Morwenna needing to lift a finger. His brother, the heartthrob actor Matthew, an alumnus of Rosefrost, was the perfect choice. The delay in informing Morwenna was because Campbell had spent the last few days crafting a romantic play script tailored for his brother Matthew and Morwenna, hoping to set sparks flying. Basking in his recent successes and with their father’s blessing to continue in the entertainment industry, Matthew was blissfully unaware of the trap his younger brother had set for him, a romantic lead alongside the unsuspecting Morwenna. Likewise, Morwenna had no idea that her lack of reading time was Campbell’s doing. She knew nothing of the sort. Rushing back, she poured her heart and soul into writing her speech, revising it multiple times to perfection. Soon after, Keira returned, usually one to stick close to Morwenna, but that day, she kept her distance, sneaking in. Noticing Morwenna busy writing, Keira didn’t approach or even show curiosity. Instead, she quietly got ready for bed, turning away without a word, the distinct mark of a slap visible on her cheek.
