Soon, eve your “understood” Kate was always targeting Eme Emina mocked Kate–everyone expressed their understanding

if it was numura

Emina to feel

And because of jealousy.

However, what they didn’t know was that Kate’s piano playing skills were really poor in Emma’s eyes.

Finally, the piece ended, and the whole vence erupted in warm applaine

Kate stood under the stage lights, her eyes full of expectations, staring intently at the silver haired man sitting in the main seat among the crowd with his eyes closed

It was Darell, who was with a sapphire blue tailcoat that accentuated his noble temperament. His slender fingers had the exclusive length of aponist’s fingen

What was more shocking was that, as a world–class pianist, he was neither overweight nor showed signs of aging, but was handsome beyond beliet

After a long while, Darell finally spoke amid everyone’s anticipation. “As an ordinary non piano major student, you played not bad. You’ve got a lot of room for improvement

Darell’s words left everyone astonished and Kate’s mouth opened in dishebe

“I’ve been studying plano for 20 years. I’m a piano teacher at Vark College, not a student‘ she really wanted to say this, but she held back, if

she said these words, wouldn’t she be stapping her own face!!!

Kate was extremely embarrassed, and the school leaders did not expect such an awkward situation.

The venue was in an awkward atmosphere at the moment

“Tsk, tsk!” Suddenly, from the direction of the class Kate taught, a girl in a blue–black long dress laughed.

Kate was instantly furious to the point of distorting her face. She clenched her fists, “It’s Emma She’s laughing at me! Since she dares to mock

me, I’ll make her make a fool of herself in front of the whole school.”

“Mr. Wallaker, actually, we have another classmate who also plays very well. How about letting her come up and play a piece for you?”

Suggested Kate:

However, Darell was impatient. Kate’s level just now had given him a rough assessment of the overall level of students at Vark College.

He knew that the students who could be arranged to perform the opening piece on such an occasion would definitely be at the highest level

in school, and he could tell it seemed that the music education in Vark College was in a mess, students there had no talents at all.

“No need I want to end the lecture earlier today. I’m in a hurry.” Darell’s words made the leaders of Vark College a little embarrassed.

They invited Darell to use this art festival as an opportunity to increase Vark College’s popularity in the field of art. They spent a lot of money to invite Kate and let her perform in front of Darell, hoping he would recognize their school’s level and cooperate with them. But he actually wanted to leave early.

“Mr. Danell, since you’re already here, how about listening to the students play one more piece!”

Pyrah, Mi. flawed!” Kate said typecifically, “Although I did’t play well, the student I mentioned has always told me she’s a winner of many competitions, even these thaven’t won I believe the’ll not disappoint your”

With that, she pointed her linger al Emma. “Emma, come up here!

Kate’s plan was extremely malicious. She had seen Emma’s information and watched the surveillance video of her plans class. When everyone was practicing seriously, only Emina never touched the piano keys. Instead, she stared at the music score in a daze.

A girl who grows up in extreme poverty in the countryside, being able to eat well is already good, and how could she have the opportunity to fearn the piano? Therefore, Kate was see that Emma was a bumpkin who couldn’t even recognize the music score.

She even lied–Emma had never bragged to her about her piano skills, yet she slandered Emma like this. Obviously, she wanted Emma to be despised by the whole school

Emma saw through Kate’s little tricks very clearly. Now that she was considered “a person who often boasts about being a piano master” she didn’t play well, she would not only disgrace herself but also Vark College, and in the future, all the school leaders of Vark College would remember that it was her boasting that caused them to miss this opportunity.

Emma, what should we do? Kate is deliberately against you!” a classmate next to Emma said nervously. “How about you just admit that

it your

can’t play!”

“Yeah, let her win this time. We admit defeat.“”

Several people who usually supported Emma persuaded her, and suddenly a sneer came from afar. “Tsk, someone just said our Miss

Johnson’s playing was poor. Yet now you don’t even dare to show your playing. It’s really ridiculous!”

The speaker was once Aria’s good friend, now Kate’s fan girl.

Emma glanced at her coldly, then put down the goblet and stood up. “Her playing was indeed poor and even Darell has spoken up.”

Her gaze was sharp, shining with coldness. “Only someone like you who doesn’t really understand piano would think she plays well. Have you wasted all these years studying plano? You should spend more time learning instead of blindly echoing others‘ opinions.”

“You… The woman was so angry! that her face turned red. “Bitch, if you have the guts, go play! You think I don’t know how foolishly you act during every plano class? You don’t even dare to touch the keys. You’re a waste, a good–for–nothing

Emma laughed brightly. She didn’t play in the piano classes because she didn’t want to reveal herself. And she was particular about planos. Except for her own plano, she wouldn’t play other people’s plano easily.

“Well, let me enrich your experience today then, you poor thing.” With that, Emma walked toward the stage.

She was dressed in a dress with a voluminous design, and her black hair was

ack hair was styled into loose waves. She looked grand yet carried an air of languid nobility. As she made her way through the crowd to the stage, Darell saw her and was so surprised that he stood up abruptly. “It’s

you h

Emma remained calm, smiling at Darell as she said, “Hi, Mr. Wallaker. My name is Emma, I’m a regular student at Vark College. The one who just played is a teacher in our school who is not very skilled. Please excuse the performance.”

After her words,

s, there was an uproar among the audience. Emma had openly criticized Kate’s playing skills, and everyone was taken aback

by her arrogant tone.

However, Darell frowned slightly. He understood that Emma’s words were a hint for him not to reveal her identity. ‘Strange, with her genius- like talent, why would she be an ordinary student at Vark College? And why did she hide her true identity?”

But Darell quickly came to terms with it. There must be her own reasons for doing so, and he should respect her choice.

“Hello… After such a long time, I finally met you. You make my trip worthwhile,” said Darell, leaving the audience wondering if they had heard
