Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

The first on stage was a cute round-faced girl named Giselle.

She had chosen a Level 6 piece, “Alternating Thirds,” which was unremarkable. It wasn't special, but she

performed without mistakes

Zion gave Giselle a score of seven and gave her sencouraging words..

Giselle knew she didn’t have much chance of winning, so she left the stage cheerfully upon Zion's

encouragement.

Subsequently, contestants performed one after another, but most chose Level 5 or Level 6 pieces. Only one girl

from the” chemistry department attempted a Level 7 piece and upon watching her performance, Zion didn’t hold

back his praise

Given everyone knew the highlight today wasn't these performers, they all appeared disinterested. Ultimately,

they knew the highlights were Yvette and Ruby.

After all. Ruby was recognized as Argrol University’s best pianist and had the most advanced piano grade among

the contestants. She already reached Level 8.

Meanwhile-Yvette, who cfrom the countryside, had only been at Argrol University for just over a month.

Although she won a Frixyian contest, and everyone acknowledged her intelligence, this was a piano competition-

all competing students had been learning to play the piano since young.

Everyone knew one couldn't excel at piano simply by having a photographic memory. Piano required years of

consistency. ongoing practice, and continual practice. Even if Yvette was smart and talented, there was no way

she could master the piano in a few days.

Even if Yvette had learned sbasics, she wouldn't compare to them, let alone Ruby, who had already passed

Level 8.

The outcwas obvious.

After three full hours, the majority of Argrol University students couldn't sit still any longer. Even Andrew and

Bonnie felt their backsides grow sore from sitting for so long.

Meanwhile, Sawyer grew completely disinterested after watching a few performances, and when Zion wasn't

looking, he sneakily glanced elsewhere and daydreamed.

Simon and Jaiden were older, thus sitting for such a long twas hard on them. However, it wasn’t appropriate

for either of them to leave earlier in this event, so they just sat there idly and chatted occasionally to pass the

tire..

Rebecca wanted to put down her ego and speak to Zachary, but he didn’t spare her a glance. Moreover, with so

many watching, she knew she couldn't force a conversation, or it could disgrace the Carter family.

Zachary and Nellie were fine overall. However, Nellie persevered out of sheer willpower to see Yvette embarrass

herself Her back pain was excruciating, but she had to maintain her image as a dignified lady, so she forced

herself to maintain her posture.

The only ones who were comfortable there were Zion and Yvette.

Zion carefully critiqued each contestant’s performance, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses with precise

comments, and offered them appropriate advice.

Except for a few sips of water, he had barely moved because he knew everyone could see his every action.

Everyone's regard for Zion rose considerably at his dedication. It was no wonder he was Clusia’s most

outstanding pianist. His serious and responsible attitude alone deserved admiration and respect.

Chapter 89

n

Knowing Yvette was participating in the piano competition today, Andrew cto support her, hoping his

presence would help her stay relaxed and calm.

However, when Andrew turned, he saw Yvette leisurely leaning back in her chair, bouncing her foot with her legs

crossed.

An incredulous expression appeared on Andrew's face as he thought, ‘Huh. | was worried for nothing. She

doesn’t look nervous at all. Hah! | might be more anxious about the competition than she is. How funny

Andrew's gaze was so focused on Yvette that she opened her eyes, rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head,

and shot him an indifferent look. “What's up?”

Andrew really wanted to shout. Yeah, something up! Something big is happening. Can't you see there are only

two more contestants before Ruby’s tum? After Ruby, you're next! he exclaimed internally.

He wanted to ask where she got her confidence but instead, he questioned, “It's almost your turn. Aren't you

going backstage to prepare Then, he glanced at Yvette’s outfit. “Where's your dress! If you don’t change soon,

you won't have enough time.”

Yvette narrowed her eyes and then lifted an eyebrow. She declared nonchalantly, | don’t have one.”

Andrew had just picked up his water for a sip when his hand froze mid-air. “Are you saying you didn’t even

prepare a dress?”

Yvette nodded.

Andrew put down the glass and briefly wondered about the success rate of simply taking off with Yvette now. He

pondered, This is ridiculous. Yvette never even prepared a dress. Is she really just going to perform in black

sportswear!

Amazing music would be wasted. All the performers earlier wore carefully selected attire and looked stunning

and elegant.

Pfft. You'd think anyone who can spend 100 million dollars like that could afford a dress. There's only one

explanation- Yvette never intended to wear one. Andrew sighed and wondered. Why's my life so difficult? How

did I end up mingling with eccentrics like Jeremiah and Yvette?

There is nothing we can do now. It'd be futile to say anything more. All | hope is Yvette won't lose too badly. With
