Chapter 282


    She couldn’t tolerate it either.


    “But-“Avril frowned, whispering<strong>in</strong>Bonnie’s ear, “Selina isn’t just good at ying the piano. She’s also a member of the Pyralian Pianists Association.”


    “She?” Bonnie paused momentarily, carefully scrutinizing Selina’s face, “Howe I don’t remember such a person in the Pyralian Pianists Association?”


    “Huh? You remember? What do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you know people from the Pyralian Pianists Association?” Avril was somewhat bewildered.


    Bonnie scrutinized Selina again. Indeed, she didn’t have any impression of this person.


    “She shouldn’t be a core member of the Pyralian Pianists Association, right?”


    “That’s true, she isn’t. I heard she got in as thest one. But even if she’s at the bottom, it’s still our city’s Pyralian Pianists Association! It can’tpare to the Pyralian Pianists

    Associations in small towns.”


    “No wonder I haven’t seen this person before,” Bonnie muttered.


    Eight years ago<strong>,</strong>Elliana brought her into the Pyralian Pianists Association’s hall, challenging all the core members and winning without surprise. From that moment on, Elliana insisted on passing her legacy to her.


    Selina stepped forward, facing Bonnie. “Are you going topete with me?”


    Bonnie’s expression was cold. “What’s the point of saying that? Didn’t youe prepared?”


    “You-” Selina choked again, her face turning purple, grinding her teeth, “Fine, you asked for it!”


    Ten minutester, this attracted almost all the school’s students.


    “Did you hear? Selina, the campus belle, wants to have a pianopetition with the new freshman<strong>.</strong>”


    “Selina isn’t even that pretty. She should hand over the campus belle title. Why make things difficult for a first–year student?<strong>”</strong>


    “Exactly. Whypete with a first–year student on ying piano when she knows she’s<strong>good</strong>


    ?<strong>Isn’t</strong>this bullying?”


    There were voices supporting Bonnie and those supporting Selina. N?velDrama.Org


    “Being pretty doesn’t make someone a campus belle. They also need to excel in academics and morals. Haven’t you heard about Bonnie? She got kicked out of the Shepard family because of her terrible character, causing a big uproar.”


    “Not only that, I also heard she has a sugar daddy, and it is an old man. I can’t stand it. She’s willing to sell her soul and body for the sake of some material possessions. I can’t stand someone like her bing the campus belle of our school.”


    “You’re right. Our school is one of the top three schools in the country. If outsiders find. out that we’ve chosen such a morally corrupt person as our campus belle, our school will be theughingstock of everyone.”


    This matter escted more and more.


    In the Student Council office, the Pyralis University Student Council vice president, Daniel Humphrey, busied himself with the school forum.


    “Coleman, don’t just focus on reading music scores; asionally indulge in worldly affairs. Look at the campus belle election and pianopetition. How exciting. Our school hasn’t been this lively in a long time.”


    Coleman<strong>,</strong>sitting opposite him, was graceful and unparalleled in the world. Dressed neatly, he had an extraordinary bearing.


    “Pianopetition? Did Selina pick a fight on her initiative?”


    “It seems<strong>so</strong><strong>.</strong>


    “Selina, after all, is a member of the Pyralian Pianists Association. Even if she’s not a core member, her skills can’t be underestimated. Bonnie will face a tough challenge,” Coleman said thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the desk.


    Daniel nodded, still scrolling through the forum. “True, but it’s not just about skills. The campus belle title also considers character and behavior. Bonnie’s reputation isn’t exactly ster, which might affect the oue.”


    Coleman leaned back, lost in thought. “It’s unfortunate that suchpetitions often get entangled with personal biases and rumors. I hope thepetition remains fair.”


    Back at the piano room, the tension was palpable. Students crowded around, eager to witness the showdown. Bonnie and Selina faced each other, their expressions steely and determined.


    Selina took her seat at the piano first, her fingers poised over the keys. She began to y, her performance wless and technically impressive. The crowd was captivated, but there were murmurs about the oue.


    When Selina finished, there was a smattering of apuse. She stood, looking confident yet wary. Bonnie stepped forward, her face calm. She sat down, took a deep breath, and began her performance.


    Bonnie’s ying was not just technically perfect; it was filled with emotion and depth. Each note resonated with the audience, drawing them in. By the time she finished, there was a stunned silence, followed by enthusiastic apuse.


    Selina’s face was a mix of anger and disbelief. She had underestimated Bonnie’s abilities and was now facing the consequences. The judges conferred quietly, their expressions serious.


    Finally, the head judge stood up, announcing, “Both performances were exceptional, but the winner, by a narrow margin, is Bonnie.”


    The crowd erupted in cheers and boos, divided in their support. Selina stormed off, her face red with humiliation. Bonnie stood, acknowledging the apuse with a graceful nod.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    As the crowd began to disperse, Coleman watched from a distance, his expression inscrutable. He knew this was just the beginning of Bonnie’s journey at Pyralis University.
