Chapter 145
As expected, Nora grew indignant when she heard Yasmin’s accusations. “That country bumpkin is too much! How could she shut you out of the Pianists Association with those underhanded tactics?”
A faint, cunning grin played on Yasmin’s lips. Then, she took Nora’s hand with a pitiful look. “Nora, you’re my best friend. Are you willing help me?”
“Of course, I’ll always have your back, Yasmin!” Nora immediately professed her loyalty to Yasmin, through whom she would secure the Murrays‘ investment for her own family. Hence, she’d do anything Yasmin asked her to.
“Great.” Yasmin nodded in satisfaction, a cruel look growing in her eyes. “Just act on my signal!”
So what if Yvette has better skills than her? Yasmin had come prepared that day.
Keeping a low profile, Yara, Irwin, and Ashton entered the venue. They quietly settled in their seats just in time for Yasmin’s entrance onstage.
Yasmin immediately spotted her family members from the stage. She grinned widely at them.
She had intentionally invited Yara, Irwin, and Ashton, as she wanted to prove to them that she was the best. The country bumpkin, Yvette, was no match for her at all!
She wished to win back all their love and attention through the performance. Her hateful gaze swept past their faces as she seethed in spite. She thought, “Just wait and see. With my performance today, I will make Gabriel regret how he treated me. He’d be crying and begging me to join his association soon!”
“When is Yvie’s turn on stage?” Ashton blurted out from the audience. He attended the event just for Yvette. He craned his neck, looking forward to seeing her soon.
Yara and Irwin wanted to see Yvette, too. Still, they advised him, “Alright now. Ash, behave and enjoy Yasmin’s performance. It will be Yvie’s
tum soon..
Regardless, if Yvette or Yasmin was selected to join the Pianists Association, Yara and Irwin would be happy for the winner.
“Today, I will perform my self–composed song, ‘Really,” Grinning, Yasmin sat before the piano and started playing.
Looks of shock crossed the audience’s faces when they heard the prelude.
“Wow, that’s so lovely! It’s like music from heaven!”
“It’s so nice. Too bad her skills aren’t good enough for the composition!”
“You’re not wrong, but the song is too good. Even if her skills are lacking, it is overall an excellent performance.”
“I agree. She’s already a genlus for creating such a masterpiece. Before this, President Thompson announced that the association had blacklisted her for good. I’m afraid he’ll have to take back his words soon.”
It was public knowledge that the Pianists Association valued talent above everything. After Yasmin proved herself as a talented composer, the association would certainly grant her membership.
Yasmin was on cloud nine when she saw the surprise and delight on the faces of the audience. She shot a provoking expression at Yvette, who was seated below the stage.
Yasmin had stealthily listened to Yvette’s practice sessions at home and took note of the song. She practiced hard for this moment—to perform her plagiarized song on stage!
Not only that, she bribed the staff to arrange her performance before Yvette’s so that she could perform the song before Yvette.
