Chapter 78
The popularity of the program voting also affected the voting for Eliana on the school belle rankings.
As everyone was looking forward to see what kind of program Eliana would present, many people also looked up the school belle voting and voted:
for Eliana
Willow Garcia, who was occupying the top position at present, was soon displaced by Eliana Davis by nighttime.
Willow was constantly monitoring the voting on the school belle rankings. When she realized that Eliana had overtaken her, she was furious. She immediately contacted someone to do some vole rigging so that she could regain her top spot. She had to ensure that Eliana couldn’t win.
Previously, only a small number of votes was involved in Willow’s vote rigging and so the discrepancy was not easy to detect
This time. Willow was too anxious. The sudden big increase in the votes for her attracted the attention of many people. It not only caught the attention of the organizers but also the other participants on the school belle rankings.

On an afternoon three days before the Fall Festival, in the corridor of one school building….
Of all the people on the campus Eliana could have crossed paths with, it had to be her bitter enemies Yulila Laine and the rest of the dance club memberi
Initially, they could have just passed by each other, but those dance club members deliberately blocked Eliana’s way.
If Eliana went left, they would go left. If Eliana went right, they would also go right. It was a classic case of looking for trouble..
On the other end of the corridor, Roman Scott had just returned from conducting dorm room checks with a few members of the student council. They happened to see Eliana being harassed by Yulila.
Roman narrowed his eyes and his face turned ominous.
“Eliana, don’t get complacent just because you have more votes. You’re nowhere near our caliber.”
The campus clock tower rang at this moment. Eliana gazed at Yulila calmly with a textbook in her arms. A simile slowly crept across her face. “So you think you are pretty capable?”
Yulila glared back. “Even if I’m not capable, I’m still better than you. You’d better leave Landon Mitchell Otherwise, don’t blame us for not warning you?
Lana taunted, “What if I refuse?
Yulila was so angry that she burst out laughing instead. “Eliana, there’s no point in talking big. If bragging is useful, the world will be full of mullionaires. This socirty values power and wealth. Our club president’s family is rich and powerful, and her family member is also on the university’s board of directors. If you don’t leave Landon, the only outcome waiting for you is expulsion from the university. If you don’t believe Biar just wait and sex”
Eliana raised an eyebrow. “Ouh, expulsion from the university. I’m so scareil. You may have better luck if you go and warn Landon to stay away.
Hliana and Landon were just platonic friends. Yulila’s actions implied that the dance club members were unable to lay a finger on Landon and that was why she resorted to threatening Eliana instead
Unfortunately, Eliana was not afraid of turrats at all.
Huana tried to leave again but Yulila moved to laluck her again. “You’re just a substitute girlfriend for our president, yet you’re still so happy. How
Eliana per a scornful laugh. “Prit You, on the other hand, can’t be a sulastitute even if yo
you want to. Why do you care so much about who Landon is
Cunknown if Llana bad but the nail on the head but Yulila was furious. She then tried to slape Eliana.

Yulila held her cheek and glared at Eliana in shock and anger. “You!”
Eliana mavaged her wrist as the gave a stern warning “There’s a limit to my patience. You dance club members are as annoying as flies. You think you can simply slap anyone you like? Next time, tell Natalia Jewell to come at me in person. Let her tee for herself whether she will get slapped just like you!”
Natalia failed to slap her in the cafeteria last time. Likewise, Yulis failed to slap her in the corridor this time.
If these girls thought she was some pushover whom they could bully at will, they were grossly mistaken
Some of the dance club members turned to Roman. They immediately clamored, “Roman, you saw it just now, right? Eliana hat someone! Her behavior is abhorrent! The university must deduct her credits”
Her parents must be notified too!
“That’s right” another one chimed in
Roman released Yulila’s arm and said softly to Eliana, “Go for your class first.”
Eliana stalked off without a
word
Disgruntled voices from the dance club members rose up at once. “Roman, you can’t cover up for Eliana Davis like this! She hit someone just now?”
Roman’s voice was emotionlex. “She was just defending herself.”
After saying that, he turned to look at the student council members behind him. “Did any of you see me covering up for Eliana Davis?”
No, Roman”
“Me neither” Various voices gave out similar replies.
The dance club members were totally floored. The whole uudent council was covering up for her!
The night before the Fall Festival, Lucy
Davis gave
Eliana a very eye–popping costume typically seen in lavish musical productions
The three–piece suit in the black gift box was folded neatly below a full set of accessories and a bowler hat. At a glance, one’s eyes were irresistibly drawn to the glittering lapel brooch,
so stunning. The diamond inlay is so sparkly!” Eluna gasped.
Lury was very happy to see that Eliana liked it
“Eliana, this is the costume I wore in my youth. You’re i the same size as I was when I was young. Co and try it on.”
was a three–piece tailcoat tuxedo for female dancers. It was the costume Lucy wore in her role in the famed “Over the Top” musical
This dancers costume was a bespoke piece made of the finest Vicuna fabric. More importantly, the lapel brooches and chain brooches were hand- crafted with real silver and authentic diamonds Just the bowler hat alour took right weeks to complete.
The style would not be outdated even after another 30 years due to the addition of a naughty element. Instead of the usual long pants, the suit carrie with hot pants and fisli–net leggings, adding a dash of timeless sensuality
After Lury a performance, the film history museum wanted her to donate the costume to the museum but she turned them down.
Now, Lury had brought out this costume that was worthy of being displayed in a museum for Eliana to wear for a mere school musical production

Back then, when Lucy was acting in musicals, every member of the audience was her fan. At th… she was wildly popular in the world of musicals. Even now, Lucy’s status was unshakable
However, as she got older, she could not help but feel nostalgic for the past. “You look so beautiful Eliana!”
Ehana skipped up to hug Lucy. “Thank you, Mom!”
“It’s such a waste to let this costume sit in the storeroom. It’s more valuable when worn by somebody, and in particular, you. Eliana, you’ll definitely win the festival contest! I will wait for your good news”
“You bet!” Eliana declared confidently.
The next day, after the morning classes ended, the e stage preparations started at two o’clock and the Fall Festival was scheduled to start at seven in the evening
At seven sharps, the gates of Isonstead University were thrown open and the public swarmed.
The reception area was extremely lively. Stella rushed to the backstage when she saw the crowd. Wow! There are so many people outside. Ell. This is so epic! No wonder everyone says the Fall Festival is the festival of the year?“
