chapter 1898
The praises for McKenzie paused at that moment, and all eyesnded on Charmine.
Their gazes were filled with detest and speechlessness.
What did Charmine know, anyway? She did not even know what this instrument was called, let alone
know how to y it, yet she could boldly criticize such a beautifully yed piece?
The entire piece sounded so heart-tugging and smooth. Where did McKenzie miss the notes?
"Charmine is obviously jealous!" "We''ve always known that she''s arrogant, but we see it with our own
eyes today. Not only is she arrogant, but she’s also fake and self-conceited!"
McKenzie saw how everyone looked at Charmine with disgust and smirked at this, but she nheless
kept herposure. "Are you perhaps joking? If you can’t y it, how do you know I missed thest
few notes?" "Charmine, you don’t know this at all,” Susan suddenly chimed in. "If you can’t y the
harp, just don’t y it, and nobody would say anything.
McKenzie yed so well, so just don’t cause a scene, will you?"
Susan sounded as if she wanted the best for Charmine, but it was apparent that she was embarrassed
by what Charmine did.
Charmine, however, merely smirked with her ruby lips as she then got up from the sofa nonchntly.
Hundreds of people watched as Charmine walked toward the harp. She nonchntly ced her slim
fingers on the strings and gently stroked them.
A pleasing melody was heard, and it sounded crisp and emotional.
In the final phrase, the tip of Charmine''s fingers pulled the strings harder.
The sound resonated so much that the flowers on the table flew in the air.
The pink petals swirled in the air before falling downward.
Charmine''s final notes drew a perfect cadence on the imperfectly ended piece yed by McKenzie
earlier.
Everyone looked at Charmine in shock, genuinely bbergasted.
Did she not know how to y? Why did they feel that even the few carefree notes she yed were way
beyond McKenzie''s ten-or-so minutes worth of music?
McKenzie could have gotten away with it without theparison, but after Charmine yed her
version, they could tell.
Charmine yed the right notes. Each note sounded as if she was telling the story of the mermaid''s
tail, and it was more indulging and emotional.
Furthermore, the flower petals even swirled in the air! She was so skilled that the resonance was so
powerful, so much so that things around her were affected!
Everyone looked at Charmine in shock and could not help the praises that escaped their lips.
"So Charmine can y after all! And, she ys better than McKenzie!” "Goodness! So she really does
know!" "And she managed to precisely tell which notes Ms. McKenzie missed! She corrected them!"
"Ms. Charmine is truly humble! She ys so well and is so ethereal. It''s such an enjoyment!" "Ms.
Jordan, can you y more for us? We want more!"
The crowd looked at Charmine with surprise and admiration, just like Senior Jordan did.
Charmine had never once disappointed him even from a young age.
Joey, meanwhile, looked at her daughter with delight and bitterness.
Charmine was such a good child. Why did she have to treat her so cruelly before?
Rochelle nced at McKenzie coldly and stood up to say, "My Boss
Jordan knows this instrument well, but she''s just not interested in soft- sounding instruments like this.
This instrument is meant to be admired, not a weapon to show off!"
Of course, Rochelle had a double meaning to her words.
Everyone looked at McKenzie cautiously.
McKenzie''s face stiffened at this. Nheless, her delicate, fair face remained elegant and high-above.
She looked up at Charmine and scoffed at her, saying, "Charmine Jordan, there will be something that
you''re not as good as I am. Just wait for it."
When everyone heard this, they were ready to see the exchanges between the two.

Was Ms. McKenzie humiliated and angered? Had she just openly challenged Charmine?
Charmine was not intimidated at all as she met McKenzie''s gaze. "Why wait? If you have doubts, do it
now!"
