Chapter 146
Facing Ronin’s arrogant question, Elena wasn’t afraid at all. She was the youngdy of the Leighs,
their only daughter, so it was normal for her to be arrogant.
Besides, she had people investigate Ronin. He grew up in the countryside and only got into their school
because of his exceptional grades. It didn’t matter if this countryside kid looked look. She couldn’t stand
him at all!
“Ronin Oconnor, you’re just an ignorant country bumpkin, so I don’t me you for being used by
others.
Listen, we don’t want your apology. We need Catherine to apologize to Liana properly. Today, we’ll
figure out who was more talented!”
A country bumpkin?
Ronin coldly studied Elena. It seemed that she had no real abilities. He had just casually arranged an
identity for himself, and she took it seriously. “You want Boss to apologize to you?” He scoffed inwardly.
“Who the hell do you think you are?”
Catherine looked at Elena’s self- righteous expression, wanting tough. She didn’t know where
Elena’s sense of superiority came from. Elena behaved like the role of a malicious supporting character
in a cheap drama.
Elena was indeed an ignorant woman! Catherine nced at Ronin. Since they didn’t want him to
apologize, so be it.
“Fine, let’s go!”
With hermand, Ronin immediately followed. As he passed by Elena, his disdainful look swept over
her, apanied by a cold mockery.”
What a shameless woman! You should look in the mirror and see if you’re worthy of my apology!”
Elena was infuriated by his mockery, her face contorted. “You…”
In front of boys, she had always been the pampered little princess. She had never experienced such
humiliation.
Elena was about to explode with anger, but Ronin didn’t give her a chance to retort. She couldn’t argue
with such a sharp-tongued man in public.
Ronin wouldn’t show her any respect, and in the end, she would be the one who suffered. As Elena
stomped her feet in frustration, a cold voice broke the current stalemate.
“Stop!”
Liana stared intently at Catherine’s back, wishing she could tear Catherine to pieces. Her hands
clenched tightly, releasing her inner hatred. “Catherine, you publicly humiliated me, and now you n
to leave like this?”
Catherine stopped and turned around to look at Liana. Her piercing gaze fell slowly upon Liana, devoid
of any warmth. “I humiliated you? Are you sure Ronin and Bryan weren’t telling the truth?”
She hadn’t intended to get involved with Liana, but Liana hade looking for trouble herself.
Therefore, Catherine didn’t want to behave politely anymore.
Before Liana could react, Elena stepped forward to rebuke Catherine. “Catherine, you’re too arrogant.
Who do you think you are to say such things?
Catherine nced at her sideways, and with just one look, Elena’s heart began to panic. Elena didn’t
even know what happened, but being looked at by Catherine felt like someone was strangling her neck.
It was painful and suffocating, which sent a shiver down Elena’s spine.
Seeing Elena’s trembling body, Catherine sneered and mockingly said, “You don’t have the right to talk
to me. Catherine’s arrogant attitudepletely infuriated Liana. She pushed Elena aside and stood in
front of Catherine.
“If she doesn’t have the right to talk to you, what about me? Catherine, don’t go too far. You said you
didn’t humiliate us, , but why did you ask Ronin and Bryan to say those words?
Who gives you the right to say I’m not as good as you? Do you even understand music?”
Catherine took a small step forward, narrowing the distance between them. She was much taller than
Liana and coupled with her dominating presence, she looked much more intimidating than Liana.
“Firstly, I didn’t say any of those words. If you want to attribute what Ronin and Bryan said to me, fine!”
Her icy gaze swept over Elena and the two girls beside her. They trembled, their faces turning pale.
Seeing their bewildered reactions, Catherine continued coldly, “As for those exaggerated remarks that
you want to throw at me, I wonder if you dare to repeat them!”
Her eyes shed with a profound chill. Her cold gaze felt like a bucket of icy water poured onto Liana’s
face, leaving her defenseless. The aura emanating from Catherine was too powerful. Liana felt as if
something was blocking her throat, rendering her unable to make a sound.
Liana’s reaction was entirely within Catherine’s expectations. She nced. at Liana with a disdainful
look, her voice soft and emotionless. “Secondly, there is indeed a difference between you and me, and
Ronin was right. Hmph, how do you know that I don’t understand music?”
Her arrogant tone and haughty posture felt like one p after another on Liana’s face. The
overwhelming aura forced Liana to take two steps back. After a few seconds of hesitation, Liana
regained her courage and looked up at Catherine intently.
“Fine, since you understand music, why don’t youe up and y a piece? Many people here have a
musical background, and we’ll let the audience judge. If you lose, you better apologize to me!”
Liana had practiced the piano for decades, and her sense of music, cultivated since childhood, couldn’t
possibly lose to a nobody from the countryside.
“Why should Ipete with you?”
Catherine’s indifferent attitudepletely infuriated Liana. She stared at Catherine angrily, raising her
voice.” Catherine, are you afraid topete with me?”

“Hmph!” Catherine sneered. ” Concerto, the third section, the seventh bar, the fifth note, and the fourth
section, the second note… Did you y them correctly?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Liana’s face turned ashen. “How could it be?” she murmured
inwardly. “How did Catherine know?”
There were always many ssmates watching whenever Liana practiced in the music room. She would
always choose pieces with a higher difficulty level to showcase herself.
Today’s piece was no exception, and the parts that Catherine pointed out were the ones Liana had
yed wrong or not well enough.
Liana had been conscientious about concealing them, and only top-notch musicians could notice. How
did Catherine know?
Seeing Liana’sck of response, Elena became highly anxious. Elena originally wanted to take this
opportunity to teach Catherine a lesson, but she didn’t expect Liana to be so weak. Therefore, Elena
had to step forward herself.
“Catherine, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you think you can fool everyone with just a few
words? They have studied music since elementary school, and none have raised any issues. Who do
you think you are to make those baseless ims?”
“Hmph!” Catherine coldlyughed and looked at Liana. “Why don’t you ask Liana if I’m making
baseless ims?”
