Chapter 662
At the Chapman residence, Hera was seated in a room in front of the piano.
As she anxiously looked at the middle-aged man in the room, she said, “I'll be joining the piano competition's
preliminaries. Mr. Underwood, I still haven't thought about which piece to perform.”
Coincidentally, the international piano competition was located in Lake City, so all the best pianists had flocked to
the city.
There would always be someone better than her.
Although Hera had won some awards in the past, there were plenty of master pianists in the world. Thus, she was
rightly nervous.
Moreover, she knew quite a few of the master pianists who were about to join the piano competition, such as Olivia
from the Warhol family.
“Just play the piece I taught you—Sounds of Ranging Winds. That piece is one of its kind, and as long as you master
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit, I'm sure that you'll be able to get a place in the rankings,” Michael confidently cheered Hera on.
He was an international piano teacher who had many students.
The Chapman family had spent big bucks to hire him to guide Hera. Hence, he gave Hera one of the pieces he had
gotten a few years before to perform.
Bob Chapman, who was Hera's paternal grandfather, was famous in the world of piano. Hence, Michael was thrilled
to find out that he was going to be teaching one of the Chapmans.
It seems like the rumors are true in that the Chapman family is slowly losing their power... Still, they're rather rich.
Nevertheless, Michael intended to teach Hera properly. Although she was not overly talented, she was better than
the other participants.
The difficulty level of Sounds of Ranging Winds would allow her to win against ninety percent of the participants.
With his guidance, Michael was sure that Hera would be able to make swift improvements.
Even if she could not perform the piece as wondrous as he, she could still show the audience the intensity of the
piece.
Therefore, Michael was sure that Hera would be able to at least make a name for herself at the international piano
competition with the quality of her performance.
For the sake of the competition that would take place the next day, Hera kept practicing and practicing.
“It's just the preliminaries tomorrow, so there's no need for you to be that nervous. Just play the piece as you
usually do,” Michael reassured her. “I've given you three pieces with ascending difficulty levels. They're meant for
the preliminaries, the second round, and the finals.”
“I got it, Mr. Underwood,” Hera quickly replied.
At the same time, at the Warhol residence, Olivia was leisurely sipping her tea.
Mabel sighed. “My dear daughter, what's the matter with you? The preliminaries are tomorrow, so why aren't you
practicing now?”
“What's the point in that? Will I be able to improve by doing last-minute practices? Moreover, my piano playing is
not bad in comparison with my peers in the country. Even my teacher said that I'm one of the best.” Olivia took
another sip of her fruit tea. “So, Mom, you don't need to worry about it at all. I'll definitely be able to get a good
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmresult.”
“There's always someone better than you, Olivia. You can't let your guard down. If you get good results from this
competition, the other socialites will surely admire you. Look at Hera Chapman. The painting she made sold for
hundreds of thousands. Many families were jealous,” Mabel said, trying to convince Olivia to start practicing.
“Oh, right. Mom, she's in the piano competition as well. I heard that she's not supposed to qualify for it, but she
asked for a favor from Mr. Hoffman and his wife to join it.” A look of disdain then crossed Olivia's face. “Why should
I envy a woman like her? Watch me defeat her!”
When Mabel realized her daughter was not going to heed anyone's advice, she shook her head in disappointment.
The next morning, the participants of the competition woke early in the morning and headed to the site of the
event.
It was held at Lake City's theater.
The theater was wide and had the capacity for tens of thousands of people. Thus, music lovers from various
countries in the world came together to watch the competition.
A global competition like this would naturally catch the attention of many.
Many media companies of varying countries had come to record the scene as well.
