Chapter 345
Elara gestured for Priscilla to follow her, and the two sat down in a quiet corner of the auditorium. Meanwhile, Rosalie, who was clutching her swollen, burning cheek, kept her eyes fixed on Elara and Priscilla.
Darcie was trembling as she asked, “Is that Ms. Price someone very powerful?”
Rosalie sneered. “She could crush you like an ant without breaking a sweat!”
“Crap!” Darcie gasped, her pupils trembling
The thought of having offended Priscilla made her legs shake uncontrollably. She grabbed Rosalie’s arm in fear, and her body went limp like a noodle.
“Ms. Fisher, could you… Could you put in a good word for me with Ms. Price? Someone like me doesn’t even know her. I didn’t mean to offend her!”
Rosalie pushed Darcie’s hand away in disgust, her lips curling as she hissed through clenched teeth, “I can’t even save myself right now! What makes you think I can help you?”
Seeing Darcie’s panicked state, Rosalie’s eyes filled with disdain. People like Darcie were nothing but fragile mayflies in the face of someone like Priscilla.
Elara should have been like Darcie–someone who cowered and showed respect the moment they learned she from the Fisher family. But Elara had never once given her the time of day.
Rosalie coldly instructed, “What you need to do now is find a way to make sure my Paisley shines during the performance! If the dance she’s leading doesn’t win an award…”
She gave Darcie a dismissive look.

Darcie swallowed hard, her voice soft and pleading. “Ms. Fisher, don’t worry. Paisley is very talented in dance. I’ll make sure she becomes the center of attention on stage.”
Rosalie lifted her chin arrogantly and waved Darcie off to continue rehearsing with the children from class 1B. She then glanced over at Elara again, unable to understand how Elara had become so close to Priscilla. Afterward, Rosalie pulled out her phone and called Harold. However, her call was promptly ended.
Rosalie clicked her tongue in annoyance and dialed a second time. She waited half a minute before someone finally picked up on the other end.
“Hey, honey, I’m still busy!”
Rosalie said, “I just saw Ms. Price from Price Nation Group come all the way to Summit Academy to meet Elara.”
The moment Harold heard “Ms. Price“, he felt a phantom pain in his backside.
Rosalie continued, “I remember you told me Elara joined Joss Tech, but Ms. Price came here specifically to see her. It’s obvious they have a close relationship!‘
Rosalie didn’t dare mention that Priscilla had slapped her. She was afraid that instead of sympathy, Harold would scold her.
“Ms. Price probably wants to recruit Elara into Quantum Tech,” Harold said, then quickly changed the subject.
“Why are you, as a woman, so concerned about Elara and M. Price? Since you’ve met Ms. Price, why don’t you put in a good word for me? Given the Fisher family’s reputation Ms. Price should show you some respect, right?”
Rosalie’s voice faltered. Her cheek was still throbbing right now.

She quickly deflected, “Oh, I don’t know anything about these things. I’m afraid I might say the wrong thing in front of Ms. Price and make things worse for you.”
In the quiet corner of the auditorium, Priscilla sat down. “Ms. Jones, you must know why I came to the school to see you, right?”
