Chapter 440 She Wanted to Crush Cecelia
Cecelia left the seaside first in her car, while Maggie stood in ce, blowing the sea breeze and
pondering over the words Cecelia had said. Her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
What should she do now?
No one could tell her!
……
Shortly after the National Children’s Piano Competition ended, the results were officially announced to
the public.
In the past, there would be no doubts about these results, and society would acknowledge the selection
process.
However, someone uploaded a video of a yer’s parents pressuring the judges onto the Inte.
Although Cecelia’s back was shown in the video, her voice questioning the judges was clear.
Soon, keywords such as “doubts about the results of the National Children’s Piano Competition” and
“impressive parents pressuring the judges” rose to the top of the national news rankings, causing
widespread discussion.
All the Netizens were very concerned about this matter and wanted to know the truth behind the
competition and why that parent confronted the judges. Was it just because her child didn’t win?
Onlinements were divided into two types. Some supported the parent, praising her courage to
question and demand justice.
Others felt that she had a narrow mindset and acted like a shrew. How dare she question the judges?
Her child didn’t y well. What was the point of making a fuss when he was eliminated?
The online media discovered that the topic was gaining a lot of attention, so they proceeded to cover it
in-depth. They then released a video of the performance during the finals of the 23rd contestant,
comparing it to the performances of the other top three contestants.
After people watched these videos, the direction of thements quickly changed.
“The performance by the 23rd yer was amazing! It’s such a pity that he didn’t make it! “
“If I were his parent, I would definitely question the judges too! He was clearly the best in the entire
competition, so why did he receive the lowest score?”
“Were the judges blind? Or were they deaf? Even if he couldn’t win the championship, it was
impossible to get the lowest score, right?”
More and moreizens supported the 23rd yer and called for the organizingmittee to conduct
a fair evaluation.
They also expressed doubts about the judges of the National Children’s Piano Competition. How could
they make such a basic mistake?
What was the real reason?
Due to the increasing attention,izens quickly discovered that the judge who gave the low score was
Petunia, the design director of Taylor Group. Investigation revealed that she also had great talent in
piano and had won national awards multiple times, proving her qualifications.
However,izens felt that it was a joke to invite a designer to be a judge.
Thepetition results couldn’t possibly be fair!
As the situation escted, online media outlets released thetest news, a video of Petuniapeting
with the 23rd yer.
Of course, this video was not authorized by the Nelson family, so they didn’t dare to reveal the name of
Andres. They used pseudonyms and angles that showed only the side or back view.
With the same piece of music, the different interpretations of the two people made it clear to anyone
with functioning ears that the 23rd yer’s performance was not inferior to the so-called judge’s.
The inte exploded withments.
“The 23rd yer is a little genius!”
“How could he not win with such talent? To receive the lowest score in the wholepetition is simply
unbelievable!”
“I was there at the scene, and the 23rd yer yed really well. I don’t understand why the judge gave
him such a low score!”
“Such a judge should be dragged out and fed to dogs!”
Netizens sympathized with the 23rd yer and gave him the title of “King Without a Crown” on the
Inte.
Although the truth was revealed through the news, it couldn’t change the results of thepetition.
Netizens took it upon themselves to seek justice for the 23rd yer and started condemning Petunia
on her social media tforms.
Insults flooded in like a tidal wave.
They all attacked Petunia, using her of harming the younger generation.
The office of the Design Director of Taylor Group.
The assistant came in to report, “Ms. Taylor, something bad has happened. Many people are criticizing
you on the Inte!”
“Criticizing me? What are they saying?”
Petunia put down the design draft in her hand and asked.
“Take a look for yourself!”
The assistant found a news link on theputer and showed it to her. Petunia read the news and
sneered. “Humph, this is all Cecelia’s scheme! She’s manipting public opinion!”
“How did you figure that out?”
“Isn’t it obvious? In all these news leaks, only my name is exposed, while she and her son are using
pseudonyms. What does that mean? If it’s not her maliciously trying to smear me, then what?”
The assistant nodded, thinking it made sense. “So, how should we handle this? Should we issue an
apology?”
“Apologize? Should I apologize to her?”
Petunia mmed the table in anger. “You just need to send awyer’s letter to warn those who are
spreading rumors and insults. If they continue to spread false information, we will hold them legally
responsible!”
“Understood!”
The assistant was about to leave to handle it but was stopped by Petunia. “Wait!”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
“What else, Ms. Taylor?”
Petunia stared at the news on theputer and suddenly had a good idea. She might as well take
advantage of this attention to promote the uing productunch.
Whether it was negative or positive attention, as long as there was attention, it was the best publicity.
“Don’t send thewyer’s letter for now. Instead, release a statement to the public saying that Taylor
Group will hold a press conference to provide a unified exnation. The conference will be held
tomorrow morning.”
“Okay!”
After the assistant left, Petunia called the head of the advertising department and ordered, “Change the
date of the advertising department’s productunch to next Tuesday.”
The head of the advertising department was surprised. “Won’t that conflict with the Tangerine Group’s
productunch?”
“A battle is exactly what I want! Let’s see who will get more attention! Hurry up and make the
arrangements!”
After giving the instructions, Petunia called the chief designer, Fiona. “Fiona, how are the samples
coming along based on the drawings I gave you?”
Fiona had just joined Taylor Group and was appointed as the chief designer, which showed how much
Maggie and Petunia valued her.
“They’re almost done. I expect to finish them by this weekend.”
Petunia had given her the design drafts, and all she had to do was make the samples, which wasn’t
difficult.
“Very good. Thank you for your hard work. Go and continue with your tasks. After this productunch,
I’ll treat you to a shopping spree.”
“Okay, thank you, Ms. Taylor.”
Everything was under Petunia’s control. Thinking of Cecelia’s beautiful face, Petunia clenched the
paper in her hand, a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.
This time, she would make sure Cecelia couldn’t turn things around!
……
Center City Prison.
Cecelia applied for a visitation with Gary. Through the ss, she saw his familiar face.
Gary had shaved his head and was wearing a prison uniform. He had lost his former aura and spirit.
When he saw that the personing to visit him was Cecelia, his eyes were filled with shock, and his
hands couldn’t help but tremble.
The person who had set him up and sent him to prison suddenly came to see him. What did she want?
“Cecelia, why are you here?”
Cecelia picked up themunication device and calmly spoke, “I have something important to ask
you. I hope you can tell me the truth.”
“What is it?”
“Do you know someone named Jaxon?”
