Chapter 812
When she performster, there will be performance dresses, and it''s not toote to change when the
timees. But this man selected all of the world''s most beautiful dresses on her.
Five sets of dresses were brought over from backstage alone, one for her to walk the red carpet in, one
for inside, another for presenting awards as a guest, one more for performing and yet another after
performing.
Is she here just to model dresses? She doesn''t want to be changing into different outfits like a butterfly
fluttering around everywhere. She wants to keep things low-key especially in this kind of chaotic
environment. All she wants is to attend the award ceremony quietly and perform before going home.
Lately staying in Vienna has be boring with so much work piled up on her te.
Halfway through the award ceremony, the host looked at their cue card with confusion. Was there an
added performance? And it was exactly identical to Sylvia''s? The piece that Sylvia was supposed to
perform... but now Ashlyn and Mrs. Ritter are coborating on Wynter''s masterpiece "Soul"?
Since Sylvia was also supposed to perform Wynter''s "Soul," how could they have ovepping
performances? The host is professional though; they only had a brief moment of shock before quickly
reacting: "Next up we have second ce pianopetition winner Ashlyn and her mother bringing us
''Soul''."
The audience immediately erupted into thunderous apuse as lights dimmed on stage while near
ethereal piano music began ying - Soul is an extremely ethereal song that became famous when it
was first released by Wynter who wrote lyrics for Eden who then sang it to make it both famous
throughout H Rovirsa. It then spread across the continent and became popr worldwide.
It even elevated Eden''s status further since Soul''s EP sold millions. Who would''ve thought Ashlyn and
her mother would suddenly perform this piece?
As soon as shlights lit up, Ashlyn, wearing a fair dress sitting atop a piano bench, her fingers dancing
across ck-and-white keys to create beautiful melodies. Everything looked stunningly beautiful!
And just then, Mrs. Ritter suddenly appeared. She was wearing a white dress and sat next to Ashlyn,
ying a piano duet with her!
After the duet, Ashlyn suddenly stood up and elegantly twirled around, lifting her skirt and starting to
dance.
The scene was very impressive. Mrs. Ritter was the president of the Urgford Piano Association and
had a high level of piano skills. The mother-daughter duet from earlier was shocking, followed by
Ashlyn''s graceful transformation into a dancer.
Many people in the audience werepletely captivated by what they saw.
Those who were looking forward to Sylvia''s performance didn''t want to see this mother-daughter duo
perform at all but were surprised at how well they did.
Some professional musicians in the audience began praising Wynter''s music: "Wynter''s music is truly
extraordinary; there must be a reason why hispositions have suchsting power."
"Whoever performs Soul feels like their soul has been prated by music itself. Wynter is truly
deserving of his reputation."
"This mother-daughter duo took Soul to its ultimate expression..."
Louis had listened to Soul many times before - including Eden''s singing - so he felt extremely
dissatisfied with what he saw now.
He looked coldly indifferent as he said, "Soul uses electronic mixing for its originalposition and
even incorporates some zither into it; if yed on piano alone it will only weaken its prating power."
"The technical skill of this mother-daughter duo is impable but they haven''t really grasped the
essence of Soul."
He felt that this amazing piece had beenpletely ruined by their performance.
After all, Louis secretly liked Wynter too but found him extremely mysterious since no one knew who
thisposing master really was... and even more strangely enough, despite being such an amazing
What made that kid so special?
The Ritter family''s performancested five minutes before ending quickly.
Both mother and daughter enjoyed themselves thoroughly during their performance while showing
happy smiles towards each other.
Mrs. Ritter paid big money for program staff members'' arrangements just for them two to dost minute
performances right before Sylvia''s turn on purpose!
They performed exactly same song as Sylvia wouldter perform...
Let''s see how Sylvia handles it!

The host continued with a look of difort, "Miss Ritter and Mrs. Ritter''s performance was very
impressive just now. Next up... please enjoy Miss Andrews'' performance of... um... Soul."
She felt like crying. Why did she have to encounter this kind of crematorium-like hosting scene? She
gritted her teeth and quickly finished the announcement before getting off stage.
While waiting backstage, Sylvia learned about Mrs. Ritter''sst-minute addition to the program. She
stood at the entrance to the stage, watching as the Ritter mother and daughter duo came down from it
without acknowledging them.
Mrs. Ritter walked up to her, proudly saying, "Miss Andrews, I''m so sorry for adding Soul as well; I
happen to love it too! We really do have simr tastes."
"Miss Andrews," Ashlyn said triumphantly, "if you want to quit performing now you still can." She felt like
she had finally gotten one over on Sylvia after losing every time before.
"Mrs. Ritter is quite cunning," thought Sylvia sarcastically while looking at Ashlyn with contempt in her
eyes. "I bet they spent a lot of money on this program addition! They even managed to buy off the
production team; truly impressive funding that I cannotpare with!" With that said, she walked
towards the stage.
After hearing Soul mentioned twice in a row but performed by two different performers, some audience
members were surprised but because they had already formed an opinion based on the Riters''
performance earlier, they didn''t expect much from Sylvia''s rendition of Soul.
Some even yed on their phones or chatted away during her set.
Franklin silently watched as Sylvia took center stage wearing ck leather pants and jacket paired with
cool Martin boots while carrying a bass guitar instead of wearing Franklin''s ethereal dress he prepared
for her earlier.
Her long hair was braided into locks and makeup matched perfectly for an edgy rockstar vibe.
She already possessed striking beauty which looked even more eye-catching under bright lights due to
porcin white skin tone.
With all these elementsbined together made it seem like she emerged out from darkness as
queen!
Jenna''s heart raced anxiously since everyone around them seemed unimpressed by what woulde
next - except Franklin who showed trust in his eyes towards his beloved girlfriend''s abilities.
The mother-daughter duo from Ritter Group strutted back to their seats after their performance,
basking in the reactions of the audience. It had been a long time since they felt this exhrated.
"She thinks she''s some hotshot music maestro just because Louis likes her," Mrs. Ritter whispered to
Ashlyn.
Ashlyn nodded and turned her attention back to the stage where Sylvia stood under the spotlight with a
keyboard in front of her.
"What is she doing? Can she even y?" Ashlyn furrowed her brows.
"She''s all alone, what does she think she can perform? Does she really believe that one person can
rece an entire band?" Mrs. Ritter couldn''t help but chuckle.
Even bringing up a keyboardist wasughable!
Adrienne leaned over and asked Ashlyn, "You performed Soul so well, are you Wynter?"
Wynter was known for being very mysterious not only in H Rovirsa but internationally as well.
Ashlyn froze for a moment. She wasn''t Wynter at all. But... Wynter was so mysterious that no one had
ever seen him before. Adrienne''s guess didn''t matter anyway.
As soon as Adrienne spoke, people around them began whispering quietly, "Could it be true?"
"She didn''t deny it; that means it must be true."
"Oh my god! If she really is Wynter, then why isn''t she participating in thepositionpetition?
Letting Jenna win?"
"Maybe Jenna is actually Wynter?"
Jenna who sat in front of them heard everything clearly and immediately denied it saying "I''m not
Wynter! I never pretend to be someone I''m not."
Ashlynughed triumphantly. "I participated in pianopetitions so I don''t want to participate again for
She didn''t finish her sentence but someone else picked up where she left off saying. "Because there''s
no type of song that Wynter can''tpose! He doesn''t need awards to prove himself."
This kind of spection was shocking!
Meanwhile, several runners-up sitting around Ashlyn couldn''t contain their excitement any longer and
posted on social media. "Oh my god! Miss Ritter is actually Wynter! I''m sitting next to him!"
"Excited beyond words – won second ce with Wynter!"
(Note: The name ''Wytnr'' has been used instead of ''Wyner'' due its simrity with another word.)
Everyone was already paying close attention to the Graley Piano Competition, and these few runners-
up also had some fans on social media. When this post was released, it immediately caused a huge
uproar.
#Ashlyn is actually Wynter
#Too low-key, Wynter''s true identity revealed
Ashlyn managed to earn a wave of attention.
