Chapter 158 Isn’t It More Fun This Way?
Even a fool could recognize that Nash was trying to stall for time, but after all, Nash had been the president of the Student Union. He was somewhat formidable. Even though people were displeased, they wouldn’t dare to offend him.
As for Catherine’s team, Ronin and Bryan would listen to Catherine. If Catherine didn’t agree, they wouldn’t let go anyway. Catherine didn’t object. She took off the clip mic and walked to the backstage area.
Ronin and Bryan immediately followed her in unison. Seeing that they returned to the backstage area, the judges finally let out a sigh of relief.
Elena put on an arrogant air right away and then said sarcastically, “See? They still have to compromise. They merely want to make it to the next round. They acted as if they were so sanctimonious. Shame on them!”
The judges’ expressions all hardened. Even Nash also looked rather awkward. Liana really didn’t know how a fool like Elena could still live in this world!
It was bad enough that Elena couldn’t read the room. Worse still, all she did was be a drag on others. Apparently, Catherine and her teammates had gotten the goods on them. Yet, Elena still dared to talk tough. She was so unbelievably foolish.
Noticing Nash’s grave expression, Liana immediately made a reaction.
“Enough, Elena!”
Her voice was quite harsh. Elena was bluffed at once, and her face turned deathly pale. Meeting Liana’s eyes, Elena slowly shut her mouth.
Since Liana stopped Elena from talking further, Nash’s face finally softened. His impression of Liana just became better. He sighed and said, “Now that this has happened, I think I’d better go backstage and see if this issue can be resolved through mediation. Then, we’ll see what to do!”
Of course, others had no problems with that. It would be the best that Nash was willing to deal with the situation himself. Yet, when Nash was about to leave, Liana hastened to say, “I’ll go with you! The other seniors of the Student Union were all afraid of trouble.
They would be happy to share the good together, but when a problem came up, they would expect him to bear the consequence alone. Only Liana stepped forward at this moment.
Deeply touched by Liana, Nash stared at her with affection. Actually, Liana didn’t mean to help Nash. Instead, the Publicity Department of the Student Union had got the most funds. Since she became the head of this department, the money was all pocketed by her.
She felt that Catherine was confident and worried that Catherine really had evidence. After all, there had been so many astonishing things about Catherine.
Just in case, she could only strike first. If this matter was exposed, not only might she need to compensate for the money, but also her reputation would be ruined.
She was a lady of the Swanns. How could she allow her reputation to be ruined for this matter?
Absolutely not!
She must make Catherine shut up, whatever it took! Backstage, Catherine was leaning aside for a rest while Ronin and Bryan were sitting by her on both sides.
Bryan felt a bit confused. He didn’t know how much evidence Catherine had acquired on the embezzlement of the Student Union.
However, just now, even a fool could tell that the seniors of the Student Union had a guilty conscience. Actually, if Bryan joined the Student Union, Nash could never have been the chairman.
It was just that Bryan was too lazy and couldn’t bother to deal with those people. So, he directly refused to join any organization. This way, he could live a more casual life.
“Boss, why did we give those losers a chance instead of throwing the evidence in their faces?” Catherine looked at him with fatigued eyes. She replied in a lazy tone, “Isn’t it more fun this way?”
Ronin chimed in, “You’re right. A hunter must prefer to play with the prey before eating it.”
Bryan took a tumble. In the case when the prey was too much, there was no point in eating the prey directly. It was a lot more fun to watch the struggle on the verge of dying. prey Shortly, Nash took Liana backstage and found them.
When the two of them appeared, Catherine was still playing with her phone with her head lowered. She didn’t even take a look at them.
In this case, of course, Ronin and Bryan wouldn’t be nice to Nash and Liana. Nash stood there with an extremely embarrassed expression.
Liana hated Catherine to the core, but at the moment, she could only drop her attitude to make a concession. As Nash was unwilling to talk, Liana could only say, “Catherine, we’ve discussed this. It was Elena’s fault. She let her emotions get the best of her. There’s nothing wrong with your singing. You can totally advance to the next round.”
After she finished speaking, Catherine raised her head and looked at her indifferently.
“Are you done?”
Liana didn’t understand what Catherine meant. She just nodded subconsciously. Catherine turned her head to glance at Ronin. Then, she just stood up and walked forward.
She strode with a dashing demeanor.
Liana was dumbstruck to see Catherin leaving.
She hastened to stop Catherine. “Wait…
Catherine paused and turned to look at her. Liana stood in situ with pursed lips, her pale face filled with embarrassment. She lowered her eyes, reluctant to face Catherine’s face. Only in this way she say what she was gonna say. could
“Catherine, since you’ve advanced to the next round, can you just stop pursuing the matter of the Student Union?”
Catherine arched her brows. A sneer crossed her pretty eyes.
“The Student Union? I’m not a member of the Student Union. I don’t know anything about the Student Union.”
Liana teetered with resentment in her lowered eyes. She felt that it was so insensible of Catherine to try to push her luck. Liana had no other choice but to threaten Catherine.
“Catherine, anyway, you’ve lost nothing. Why do you have to act against the Student Union for such a trifle?”
“Hmph!” Catherine snorted. She had never feared being against anyone all her life. It was merely the Student Union. Catherine stopped there because Liana was also one of the Swanns. Since Liana wanted to make a fool of herself, Catherine wouldn’t save face for her then.
This time, Catherine turned around and left without hesitation, not intending to turn her head at all. Liana was about to cry out of anxiety. With red eyes, she stared in fright at Nash.
“What should we do now? Given Liana’s attitude, she doesn’t seem to let us go!”
Nash was there when everything happened. Liana was such a poor girl while Catherine was so arrogant. Faced with Liana’s puppy dog eyes, Nash felt so sorry for her. He comforted Liana softly and decided to take all the responsibility.
“Liana, rest assured. Just leave this matter to me. Anyway, I’ll protect you. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Liana lifted her eyes and looked at Nash sincerely and gratefully, “Nash, how nice of you!”
Immersed in Liana’s admiration for him, Nash didn’t notice the sinister smile at the corner of her eyes. For Liana, no matter what Catherine did, she had got a scapegoat for herself. She had nothing to fear then.
