Chapter 8

Kevin immediately displayed a frustrated smile, "Alright, I'll do it myself. Besides, what can be expected from a loser like you. I heard Brena will perform at the auditorium this afternoon. Just watch, I'll win her heart today."

Kevin quickly ushered his friends to go to the auditorium to prepare. He glanced back to throw a smirk at Jason.

Jason had long known that Kevin was a playboy with many women around him. And Lydia had become his victim, so Jason didn't want the same thing to happen to Brena.

"Doing this is just like helping Brena, right?"

[Ding!]

[Host's words are correct, keep Brena away from scum like Kevin and get rewarded with Points.]

Jason nodded in understanding. He now had another reason to do this, so he no longer felt hesitant.

Upon arriving at the auditorium, there were already many students there. They were waiting for their turn to enter, proving that Brena was very popular on campus.

"So it's true, this is her day," Jason said, remembering something after seeing that.

Jason had initially forgotten that today was the day of the art performance. Each department would send their representatives to showcase their talents. From Jason's department, Brena was the one who almost always represented them for singing.

Jason remembered that at the same event, Brena had gained her popularity even though she didn't come from a wealthy family. With her beautiful face and singing ability, she had become an idol since her freshman year.

"I wonder how many people have come to watch this event just to see Brena?" Jason murmured as he joined the queue to enter the auditorium. He felt excited to thwart Kevin's desire to win Brena.

After entering the auditorium, Jason sat on one of the provided seats. Soon after, the event began, and representatives from each department took turns to go on stage to showcase what they had prepared.

The event was successfully held in a festive atmosphere, and cheers from the audience could be heard from time to time. All of this continued until Brena appeared on stage, which suddenly made the atmosphere silent.

The cheers that were heard before suddenly disappeared, replaced by amazed whispers and shining eyes from everyone present.

Brena, with her tall, slender figure, black hair, and cute face, captivated everyone effortlessly.

Different from most people who were almost entirely focused on Brena, Jason was more focused on observing Kevin, who was sitting quite far away from him.

"I wonder what Lydia will feel when she finds out she betrayed me just to get a scumbag like him." Jason could clearly see how Kevin looked at Brena, a look of wanting to possess her that was so intense and irresistible.

Jason sighed deeply and shifted his gaze to Brena, who was on stage. He planned to try to enjoy Brena's performance while she was already there.

Brena then sang with her beautiful voice. The song she chose suited her so well that it made every audience member immersed in her beautiful rendition. After finishing her song, Brena stepped down from the stage, leaving the same silence as when she arrived, before applause followed, even louder than any performance before.

"Damn, did I just hear what I heard?"

"Isn't this pure beauty?"

"Talented at singing, beautiful, and talented? How could a man not fall in love with her?"

Many of the audience expressed their opinions about Brena. All of them were positive without any criticism or insults.

Amidst the noisy applause and cheers for Brena, Jason noticed quite a few men standing up from their seats. They seemed to want to approach Brena, who had just stepped down from the stage, and Kevin was one of them.

"Oh, should I also get ready now?" Jason stood up as well. He planned to do anything to make sure Kevin failed to get what he wanted.

Under the stage, Brena, feeling tired after her performance, had to deal with several men trying to get close to her.

They all praised Brena and tried to get her attention. Brena only responded to them casually, hoping they would leave quickly and stop bothering her.

"Brena, your performance was fantastic as usual." Kevin confidently approached Brena with a smile. He tried to show his closeness to Brena to every man there.

Kevin's arrival successfully made the people surrounding Brena step back. They lacked the confidence to compete with Kevin, so they chose to leave and find another opportunity.

Kevin smiled satisfactorily after successfully getting rid of every potential rival, boosting his confidence.

"What makes you behave like this? I don't remember us being that close until you have the right to drive away those who try to get close to me." Brena spoke with a curt tone; Kevin's presence was much worse to her than the previous men.

Kevin chuckled awkwardly. He felt more challenged because of Brena's always sassy attitude towards him. "Brena, why do you say that? Didn't I introduce you to the executives of my uncle's record company last time? How was the conversation? Why haven't I heard any news that you have signed a contract with them?"

Brena looked at Kevin with anger. She felt manipulated by Kevin because the contract signing condition was related to Kevin wanting to make her his own. Whereas, Brena initially hoped for a contract signing bonus for her mother's surgery, and she didn't get it because she refused to sign it.

Brena felt that Kevin was playing with her dream. She certainly hated this, especially when remembering how desperate she was when she failed to pay for her mother's surgery.

"Damn it, stop using your wealth to win my heart. It won't work. I guarantee it." Brena spoke with a flushed face, indicating her anger.

"Oh, so you're refusing? Does that mean you've given up on your sick mother?" Kevin said indifferently, giving the impression that Brena's mother's life or death didn't bother him.

Brena bit her lower lip. Her anger was at its peak. "How dare you! Are you snooping around in my life?!"

Kevin chuckled softly. He attempted to gently touch Brena's cheek to calm her down, "Why so surprised? It's something easy for me."

Brena slapped away Kevin's hand even before it could touch her, "Get your filthy hands off me, stop harassing me."

Kevin showed an expression of displeasure, "Brena, you better stop acting high and mighty like this. Be my girlfriend, and I'll get rid of your impoverished life."

"Are you saying you'll rid me of my poor life and become your plaything? Offer that to some other girl, I'm not interested." Brena crossed her arms, turning her face away.

Kevin instantly lost his patience. He was determined to make Brena his at that moment, by any means necessary.

Just as Kevin was about to pull Brena's arm so she would fall into his embrace, he suddenly felt someone deliberately bumping into his shoulder.

"Damn it, who dares provoke me like this?!" Kevin snapped.

"What's going on? Did I make you angry?"
