At 3 PM.
Connor followed the ladies to Collective Strokes.
The interior design of Collective Strokes was very modern. The standard European decoration matched the melodious sound of the piano, creating a very calming ambiance. It was as if they had entered a European palace.
Upon entering Collective Strokes, they could see many people on the piano.
However, these people were all very young. The oldest was only seventeen or eighteen years old.
“Priscilla, why are there so many children here?” Maya looked at the children practicing their instruments and asked in confusion.
“Collective Strokes is divided into two floors. The first floor is where ordinary students practice their instruments, while the second floor is where the members of Collective Strokes hang out!” Priscilla explained softly to Maya.
“I see!” Maya nodded thoughtfully, then walked straight to the second floor.
After Connor followed Freya and Priscilla to the second floor, he found that the environment on the second floor was much quieter than on the first floor. A few middle-aged men in suits sat in the hall, drinking tea and chatting. There were also many private rooms on the second floor. These were the rooms used by senior members when they practiced the piano.
“Ms. Marcus, you’re back?” However, at this moment, a woman in her fifties shouted excitedly at Priscilla.
“Mrs. James, so many years have passed, but you still remember me!” Priscilla was also very excited when she saw the woman’s expression.
“How could 1 forget you? You’re the most promising student I’ve ever taught. It’s just that after you left Phillips Estate, 1 never heard from you again.” Mrs. James held Priscilla’s hand and spoke happily.
“Of course, I’m still practicing, but because of work, 1 can only practice occasionally!” Priscilla replied with a smile.
“As long as you practice well, you are the most talented child 1 have ever seen. If you had stayed here back then, I think your attainments in the piano would have been impressive!”
When Mrs. James heard Priscilla hadn’t given up practicing the piano, she nodded in relief.
“Mrs. James, these two are my younger sisters, Freya and Maya Phillips. This is Freya’s fiance, Connor McDonald!”
Priscilla briefly introduced Connor, Freya, and Maya.
“Hello, hello!”
Mrs. James knew that Freya and Maya were both from the Phillips Family, so she was still very polite when she spoke. However, when she saw Connor, her gaze became a little strange.
Connor felt that Mrs. James reacted that way because she knew he was Freya’s fiance, so he didn’t take it to heart.
After all, everyone’s first reaction when they saw Connor was that he wasn’t worthy of Freya.
“Mrs. James, my piano should still be here, right?” Priscilla asked.
“Of course it is. It’s in my room. After you left, I kept your piano for you. 1 was hoping that you would come back one day…” Mrs. James quickly replied.
“Thank you. Let’s talk in the private room!”
As Priscilla spoke, she walked toward the room she had once been extremely familiar with. This place held so many memories for Priscilla.
Connor, Freya, and Maya followed Priscilla and Mrs. James.
Maya’s eyes widened as she looked around, her face full of curiosity.
“Ah, if this isn’t Priscilla Marcus? You still have the cheek to come back?”
However, a woman spoke behind them before Priscilla could enter the room.
When Priscilla heard the voice, she couldn’t help but turn around to look. However, when she saw the woman who spoke, a trace of disgust flashed across her face.
Connor also turned to look at that woman. This woman looked very seductive, and her clothes were also very revealing. Her entire being emitted an alluring aura.
Even if she were placed beside Freya, Maya, and Priscilla, she would not lose out by much.
At this moment, there was a man beside the woman. The two were holding hands. It seemed like they were a couple.
“Hailey, it’s you!” Priscilla greeted the woman expressionlessly.
“No other!” The woman nodded lightly and walked up to Priscilla. She carefully looked at Priscilla and said with disdain, “I didn’t expect you not to change at all. You still make me hate you!”
“If you hate me, you can look away.” Priscilla showed a rare expression of anger and spoke in a cold tone. Then, she turned to her guests and said, “Freya, Maya, let’s go!”
After saying this, Priscilla prepared to leave.
“Priscilla, wait!” However, just as Priscilla was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard Hailey call after her.
“Yes?” Priscilla turned to Hailey and asked calmly.
“Priscilla, I remember you were a prodigy in Collective Strokes. No matter who saw you, they would praise you. No matter what competition it was, you would always be the first place, and I would always be the second place. That makes me very uncomfortable,” Hailey said to Priscilla expressionlessly.
When Priscilla heard that Hailey wanted to compete with her on the piano, a strange look flashed in her eyes. Then, she said expressionlessly, “Hailey, I know your piano skills very well. You don’t have any talent in this area at all. I advise you to give up. You’re not my match at all!”
“Do… Do you really think you’re so great?” After Hailey heard Priscilla’s words, a trace of anger flashed across her face. She shouted at Priscilla, all worked up.
“It’s none of your business whether I’m great or not! But if you want to compete with me, you’re just asking for humiliation!” Priscilla said calmly.
Hailey looked at Priscilla and took a deep breath. Then, she glared at her and half-screamed, “Alright, Priscilla, since you’re so confident, I’ll admit it. I might not be your match right now, but it doesn’t matter if I’m not.”
“Who can be my match then?” When Priscilla heard this, she was surprised.
“Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Justin Ray. Justin is the student of the French pianist Richard Clayderman. He is now a professor at Julliard School. Do you dare to compete with my boyfriend?”
Hailey pulled the man beside her over and challenged Priscilla smugly.
Connor, Freya, and the others knew this was a private feud between Priscilla and Hailey, so they didn’t say anything. They just watched quietly from the side.
“Richard Clayderman’s student?”
When Priscilla heard about Justin’s identity, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
After all, Priscilla was someone who liked the piano. It was only because of her work that she had no choice but to give up the piano. She knew Richard Clayderman very well.
Since Justin was Richard Clayderman’s student, his piano skills must be top-notch..
