Chapter 510
Chapter 510:
A chill ran down Janice’s spine as she came to the realization that Alissa was not to be underestimated. With someone like Delilah, Janice wouldn’t be concerned, but it was those who could think and adapt that were the real threat.
Nolan found himself in a tricky situation.
Given how much Alissa had already humbled herself, rejecting her gift would only invite unnecessary criticism.
He glanced at Janice, who gave a subtle nod, silently urging him to accept the gift.
Alissa paused, a flicker of surprise crossing her face as she noticed the quiet exchange, reinforcing her suspicion that Janice’s true identity was anything but ordinary.
But who in Efrery could command such deference from Nolan?
“Well, since you put it like that, it would be rude of me to continue declining. Thank you, Miss Welch.” Nolan graciously accepted the box, carefully unwrapping it.
“This is the manuscript of RAIN’s song, ‘Paradise.’ My father acquired it at great cost, knowing your admiration for RAIN. He wanted to offer this as a gift,” Alissa explained with pride.
“RAIN’s manuscript? The Welch family certainly doesn’t hold back when it comes to making a grand gesture.”
“It’s said that RAIN’s manuscripts are both priceless and rare. To secure the manuscript of ‘Paradise’ really shows how committed the head of the Welch family is.”
“Absolutely. He’s certainly gone all out to win Nolan’s favor.”
A collective gasp swept through the crowd as everyone recognized the immense value of RAIN’s manuscript.
RAIN was a legendary figure in the music world, and even someone as accomplished as Nolan had often spoken of RAIN’s musical genius, claiming it surpassed his own.
Yet, RAIN’s true identity remained a secret, known only to a handful of people, which only deepened the intrigue surrounding their reputation in the music industry.

Nolan’s expression changed slightly as his gaze flicked to Janice, who wore a knowing, amused smile. It was certainly intriguing to see her manuscript being presented to Nolan right before her eyes.
“Don’t you like it?” Alissa asked, sensing the awkward pause in Nolan’s response.
“I truly appreciate it,” Nolan replied with a smile. “The Welch family has been very considerate. I’ll accept the gift. The concert is about to begin. Please take your seat.”
Alissa nodded and cast one last glance at Janice and Aiden before settling into her seat.
Lancelot sat down next to Janice, his gaze fixed and intense, making it hard to look away. Aiden, sitting across from them, couldn’t hide his irritation at the sight.
However, surrounded by so many people, Aiden couldn’t make a scene and instead shot Lancelot a cold, piercing glare.
Lancelot stood his ground against Aiden’s piercing look and said, “I’ve heard the Welch family went to great lengths and spared no expense to acquire your manuscript. What would Alissa’s face look like if she realized the person she just scoffed at is actually RAIN?”
Janice shook her head, her tone tinged with speculation. “Who knows? Perhaps she would rip it to shreds in a fit of fury.”
