    e at the Music Department was a grand affair as it was one of the school’s most significant events.

    Everyone who attended was dressed to the nines, except for Yvette, who opted for a more casual


    look. But even in herid–back attire, her stunning appearance still drew plenty of attention.


    “Yvette, you finally made it!” Xander eximed in joy upon seeing Yvette. “I was starting to worry


    you’d bail on us!”


    “I won’t,” Yvette replied indifferently, “Mr. Bell, remember your promise? Stop bugging me after


    today, alright?”


    Yvette was one to stick to her word as she hated breaking promises.


    “Of course, of course.” Xander chuckled with a sly glint in his eyes.


    “Yvette, I won’t bug you anymore if you still don’t feel like transferring to the Music Department even


    after today’s piano conference!”


    Xander had a sneaky grin. They had invited numerous influential figures for the piano conference,


    many of whom he knew personally. He was confident that Yvette’s musical career would soar with


    his connections.


    He simply couldn’t fathom Yvette resisting the temptation. After all, she was such a promising talent.


    Xander was determined to keep her


    around


    Xander’s smile was radiant. It was a stark contrast to the resentment brewing in Yasmin’s heart.


    Her heart was filled with envy and hatred as she watched Xander and Yvette converse. Yet, Yasmin


    concealed it well and approached them with a gentle smile.


    “Mr. Bell, with you being the organizer of today’s conference, I’m sure you’ve got your hands full. Let


    me take care of Yvie, alright?


    “I have participated in events like this many times before, so I’m much more experienced. I’ll make


    sure she’s well taken care of!”


    Yasmin’s words sounded considerate at first. But upon closer inspection, her words implied that


    Yvette, a country bumpkin, was actually an uncultured swine.


    Xander didn’t pick up on the subtle undertone. Even so, Yasmin’s seemingly understanding


    demeanor earned her some brownie points in his book


    “Alright, then I’ll leave Yvette to you. I have other matters to attend to.”


    “My pleasure, Mr. Bell!“,


    Yasmin’s smile faded as soon as Xander left. She reached for Yvette’s hand, but Yvette skillfully


    avoided her


    Yasmin’s facade cracked, but she quicklyposed herself, though the resentment in her eyes


    deepened.


    “vie, I know you’ve just returned from the countryside and haven’t participated in such a grand piano


    conference before, but it’s okay. I’ll teach you.”


    Yvette nced at her indifferently. “No need. You can get lost now.”


    For some reason, Yasmin felt that Yvette had seen through her thoughts. But she immediately


    dismissed the notion..


    It was impossible, after all. She had been discreet. Yvette couldn’t have possibly noticed!


    With this thought in mind, Yasmin felt somewhat reassured. Her face disyed a hint of grievance


    as she said, “Yvie, I do


    so mean to me. I just wanted to help you!”


    She had deliberately raised her voice to attract the crowd’s attention.


    Observing this scene, the onlookers couldn’t help but exchange whispers.


    “Yasmin was just trying to help. How can Yvette be so mean?”


    “Yeal. Truly, no good deed goes unpunished…”


    Yasmin’s eyes gleaned with satisfaction listening to these murmurs, but she maintained a courteous


    demeanor.
