Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen

Chapter 103

103 Triangle

Selma Payne’s POV:

As he said, the battle’s outcome had already been decided.

The red-haired boy who won the match cheered excitedly as he walked around the stage, met with even more enthusiastic applause from the audience.

“Hey! Avril!” he jumped off the boxing ring and ran toward Avril. “You’re so beautiful today.”

“Oh, thank you, Perrin!” Avril was a little flattered. “That was great. The president will be happy that he has a successor.”

The boy, Perrin, rubbed his hair shyly.

The girls and I looked at each other. It was Avril’s admirer! Then, just as the campus idol drama was about to begin, the antagonist appeared.

“Hello, Perrin.”

Carolyn suddenly appeared from the crowd, walking over with her head held high like a proud swan.

Ryan followed behind her like a duckling with an Oedipus complex. Dorothy had already confirmed that there were no traces of witchcraft on Ryan. It was hard to imagine what kind of mood he had when he went to be a bootlicker.

Of course, Perrin knew the influential people in the school. So he asked uneasily, “Hello, Carolyn. Is there anything I can help you with? I mean, we don’t know each other very well.”

“Of course, this is our first time meeting.” Carolyn smiled pretentiously. “Do you mind if I call you by your name? I heard Avril calling you that. After all, we haven’t introduced ourselves.”

Perrin looked extremely embarrassed. Anyone would understand that it was the worst situation to be hit on in front of the girl he liked.

“It seems like you don’t mind,” said Carolyn, minding her business. “This means that we’re friends, right?”

Perrin could only smile like a gentleman.

Not only was Avril furious, but even I was angry. What was wrong with this witch? She must have been a hen in her past life who would lay her eggs in anger when she saw other hens approaching her rooster!

“Perhaps you’re looking for a dance partner?” Of course, no one would have thought that Carolyn would suddenly invite Perrin, “I am not like those girls who are reserved and overly conservative. So, are you willing to accept my invitation?”

Perrin wasn’t the one who had the most intense reaction to this; Ryan looked like he had been betrayed.

“This is not fair!” he roared, and the veins on his neck bulged. “Your partner should be me. You promised that if I satisfied you, you would hold my hand and do the opening dance tonight. You promised to let me be your partner!”

Carolyn seemed unaware of what was happening as her eyes widened in shock. She timidly retorted, “No, I didn’t. I’m sure I didn’t say that. But, Ryan, I think my reluctance to refuse seems to have caused you to misunderstand, so you have an illusion and think it was real.

“We’re good friends, but we can still dance with others, right? You’re a very good boy, and I believe that many girls in the school would want to be asked by you. So why don’t you go to the ceremony?

“I think many girls have no choice but to attend the ceremony alone tonight. So go and be an understanding gentleman and solve the ladies’ troubles.”

Ryan looked like a dog that had been drenched in the rain. He was both embarrassed and angry. His whole body was trembling, and his eyes were red. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he didn’t dare to vent it on Carolyn. Instead, he could only angrily push through the crowd and run away.

The girls and I were dumbfounded as we witnessed everything.

“Wow.” Mara asked, “Is there an invisible camera hidden on the tree? Why are they acting like they are in a third-rate romance drama in front of everyone? The female lead is also a basic b*tch with a low status. Ha, the ratings of this drama must be very poor.”

Sometimes, I couldn’t understand Carolyn’s self-confidence. Why would she be so sure that her clumsy tricks would be able to fool everyone?

I thought it was because she didn’t care. Anyway, she was using someone else’s identity and would throw it away after using it. She wouldn’t be the one affected in the future, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Carolyn didn’t even look at Ryan, who had left angrily. Instead, she asked Perrin again, “Will you accept my invitation?”

Without a doubt, Perrin didn’t want to. If he were an ordinary young man, he would be excited to accept the invitation of the campus’ most famous girl. Unfortunately, his heart already belonged to someone else.

“He doesn’t want to.” Unexpectedly, Avril rejected on Perrin’s behalf. She held Perrin’s arm and said, “Because he already has a dance partner, and that’s me. One arm can’t hold two pairs of hands, right, Miss Duke?”

Perrin looked at Avril with surprise and joy. Then, he straightened his back and refused, “Yes, thank you for your kind intentions, Carolyn, but I already have a dance partner, and that is Avril.”

The surrounding crowd burst into loud boos, and the young boys and girls whispered excitedly.

It was a complicated love triangle. I could already imagine what everyone would gossip about during the summer break.

Being rejected in front of everyone, Carolyn could not hold back her pride and stiffly said, “Is that so? That’s a pity.”

Then, she glared at Avril and walked away in her ten-centimeter high heels.
