    That socialite hadn’t finished saying “dockling” before she and everyone else noticed the young


    woman descending the steps from the

    second floor


    The young woman donned a soft–colored dress. Her long, locks cascaded down her shoulders,


    framing her slimce even more. Those quiries and her elegantly scalpted features made her


    gorgeous beyondpare


    Nobody at the scene could take their eyes off her


    “How pretty.”


    ok at how she presents herself. She doesn’t seem like someone who grew up in the countryside.”


    “Is that the Murray’s long lost daughter? Look at


    “Yeah! See looks ssier than Yasmin, whom the Murrays spent years raising!


    Yasmin’s expression soured once thosepliments for Yvette filled the hall. Jealousy dripped from


    her gaze as it snapped toward Yvette’s stuning appearance. She regretted not pulling a few stunts


    to disfigure Yvette’s face


    As for the socialites, they reflected on theirments about Yvette earlier. Their faces heated up


    with humiliation, es if an invisible force had pped them.


    “Everyone, this is our precious daughter, whom we’ve finally reunited with!” Yara and Irwin


    announced as they led Yvette onstage.


    Yvette allowed it to happen without any emotion in her eyes. She disliked the situation but yed


    along because she couldn’t bear disappointing her parents.


    Yasmin watched Yaca and Irwin embrace Yvette, finding the scene particrly jarring. She bit her


    lower lip before following the trio onstage.


    Then, she squeezed between them and smiled “Our family is finallyplete! To celebrate, Yvette


    has specially prepared a piano piece for everyone. We hope you’ll enjoy it!”


    With that, chatter immediately filled the hall again


    “How surprising! I didn’t think the Murray family’s young daughter knew how to y the piano! Didn’t


    they say she grew up in the countryside?”


    “Indeed! I never imagined a girl who grew up in the country would know how to y the piano!“.


    Yvette’s eyes met Yasmin’s, recognizing how thetter was challenging her. Even so, her


    expression didn’t change one bit. She looked at the no and could tell someone had tampered


    with at first nce.


    Theers of Yvette’s red lips tugged as she sneered at Yasmin. She decided to go all out since


    thetter insisted on ying these little


    “Yasmin, aren’t you going to y with YvieYara asked in confusion.


    “Today’s banquet is in Werro’s hoon. So, the first song should be yed by Yotto, of course!” A


    perfect smile sat on Yasnan’s innocent face, yet venom brimmed in her eyes. “I’ll y with Yvette for


    the second song”


    Irwin and Yara’s hearts warmed when they heard Yasmin’s thoughtful words. They quickly praised


    her, saying, “You’re so considerate, Yasmin!


    Yasmin Lips curved into an innocent and sweet smile. Little did anyone know she was scathing


    inwardly.


    She had to admit Yvette’s piano skills were above average. However, she had already tampered


    with the ne onstage. Because of that, Wette wouldn’t be able to y well, no matter how skilled


    she was


    Yasmin thought to herself, “Go and make a tool of yourself in front of all these people, Yvette! I’l I


    get the household staff to switch out a new no once Yvette tails superbly. With such a drastic


    contrast, everyone will know Yvette is no match for me!*


    Yvette gradually sat before the piano. The stage lights shone on the graceful contours of her side


    profile, which were as shamning as a sculpture’s.


    All eyes couldn’t help shifting toward her. Everyone held their breaths and waited in silence


    Even Yasmin kept her eyes on rette, who was now on stage alone. Yast couldn’t wait for Yvette


    to humiliate herself on stage and be today’sughingstock


    A white Porsche came to a steady halt outside Murray Manne just then.


    “It’s all you guys” leult for stopping me from leaving the hospitall Thanks to you, I’m nowtol”


    Martha exited the Porsche with Samuel standing respectfully by her side. He helped apert the car


    door for her.


    “Where’s Win? Why hasn’t be shown up yet?” Marth asked.


    Samuel’s brows furrowed as he cautiously spoke. “Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has asked me to


    drive you here first-”


    Before he could finish, Martha interrupted him, “Don’t beat around the bush. Tell me right now–


    where & Will? Where’s he gone? It’s his fiancée’s banquet today! How can he not be present?”


    Samuel could only helplessly respond, “Mrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has things to deal with today,


    so he can’t make it-


    “What’s more important than his fiancée!” Martha scoffed before adding, “I don’t care! Have him get


    over here ASAP! I’m going inside now. You’d better inform him that he’s to rush over right this


    instance!”


    Having said that, Martha hastened toward Murray Manor. She was nervously smoothing out the


    creases on her clothes and had a noticeable. grin on her face. Excitement bubbled within her at the


    thought of meeting her future granddaughter–inw soon.


    Upon entering the banquet hall, Martha heard a beautiful piano piece being yed. There was a


    whimsical quality to it.


    She couldn’t help immersing herself in the music like everyone at the scene. For a brief moment,


    she forgot all about finding her granddaughter–inw.


    While everyone was engrossed with the masterful ying, only Yasmin’s face paled to a ghastly


    grey. She didn’t understand how this could have happened.


    Yasmin swore she had tampered with the piano, yet Yvette yed the instrument like nothing was


    wrong. On top of that, Yvette even yed. incredibly well.


    Yvette stopped ying once everyone became deeply enthralled by the music. Her striking eyes


    looked up from the piano and settled on the scowling Yasmin. “This song’s a duet. Why don’t we


    y the piece together?”


    Everyone’s attention snapped toward Yasmin, rendering her unable to refuse. If she turned Yvette


    down, everyone would think her skills were lesser than Yvette’s. However, there was no telling how


    things would turn out if she went on stage noW


    “You’re not afraid, are you, Yas?” Yvette’s frosty tone rang out. While she spoke slowly and


    innocently, her voice was extra aggravating to


    Yasmin


    It angered Yasmin so much that she stormed up to the stage with amalicious gaze. However, she


    concealed her burning hatred with a smile on her face. “Alright, everyone. Please bear with my


    average skills.”


    “Oh, yay! I’m so looking forward to this!”


    “Yasmin’s the first–ce winner of this year’s pianopetition! I doubt her skills will lose to


    Yvette’s!”


    Because Yasmin kept bragging since winning the pianopetition, everyone looked forward to


    seeing her y


    It took Yasmin a great deal of effort to y the tampered piano. Plus, the piece was challenging, so


    she struggled to keep up with Yvette’s pace She was so frantic that she identally yed the


    wrong note.


    From her fingermovements to her rhythm and beat, Yasmin lost in every aspect to Yvette. The loss


    was painful to the eyes and ears–of


    others


    All the expectations of the audience turned into intense disappointment. Some couldn’t help


    frowning and voicing their opinions.


    “What’s going on? What on earth is Yasmin ying?”


    “Yeah! What a flop! Could it be that her ‘first ce‘ win was falsified?”


    “It has to be! How could she win first ce with such poor skills? What a joke!”
