Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Hailey saw that Priscilla did not respond, she thought that she was scared by her boyfriend. She immediately scoffed proudly.
Then, she took a step forward and asked Priscilla provocatively, “Priscilla, are you mute? Are you afraid to compete with me?”
“Afraid to compete with you?”
Priscilla said disdainfully, then turned to the woman beside her and said, “Mrs. James, please bring us to the piano room…”
“Alright, no problem!”
After hearing Priscilla’s words, Mrs. James quickly agreed and turned around to walk toward one of the piano rooms.
Everyone followed her into the piano room.
When Priscilla walked into the piano room and saw her piano, her eyes flashed with excitement. She hadn’t seen this piano for a long time.
Freya, Maya, Connor, and the others stood quietly by Priscilla’s side. No one said a word.
“Hailey, didn’t you want to have a piano competition with me? When will it start?”
Priscilla asked Hailey softly.
“We can start anytime!”
Hailey replied indifferently.
After Priscilla heard this, she didn’t waste any time and walked forward. She sat down quietly on the chair and gently stroked the piano in front of her.
When Priscilla’s hands touched the keys, a charming smile appeared on her face, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
When Hailey saw Priscilla’s smile, she couldn’t help but let out a cold snort. Then, she pouted and said, “Stop faking it. So many years have passed, yet you are still the same…”
Hailey’s boyfriend, Justin, seemed to have been attracted by Priscilla’s aura as well. He stared at Priscilla with a dull expression, his eyes filled with greed.
From the look in his eyes, one could tell that Hailey’s boyfriend was not a good person.
“Hubby, you must help me win against her this time. I want to see if she still dares to be so arrogant to me in the future!”
Hailey didn’t notice Justin’s gaze at all. She pouted and shouted at Justin.
“Baby, don’t worry. I’ll help you vent your anger!”
Justin replied lightly, the expression on his face very confident.
“Hubby, you’re so awesome!”
As Hailey spoke, she moved closer to Justin and kissed his pimple-covered face.
When Connor saw this scene, he smiled helplessly. The competition had not even started yet, and these two people had already started kissing. It was as if they were going to win today.
“These two people are really disgusting! Priscilla, you must win!”
Maya pouted and exclaimed; her face filled with disgust.
“It’s not that easy for her to win!”
Freya sighed softly.
“Why? Didn’t you say that Priscilla is really good?” Maya asked with a puzzled expression as she widened her bright eyes.
“She is indeed very good, but Justin is even better than her!”
Freya sighed softly and continued, “Maya, you might not know much about the piano. At present, the most famous pianists in the piano world are all from France, and Richard Clayderman is a world-famous pianist. Justin is his personal disciple, so his piano skills must be very good. However, Priscilla only learned the piano for a few years when she was young. Compared to a professional pianist like Justin, she naturally has no advantage!”
“I didn’t expect this pimple-faced man to have such a powerful background…”
After hearing Freya’s words, Maya pursed her lips. In her heart, she also felt that Priscilla could not win against Justin.
Meanwhile, Connor stood there with a solemn expression. He looked at Priscilla and Justin, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The attentive Freya noticed that Connor’s expression was a little off and hurriedly asked, “Connor, are you alright?”
Connor was stunned when he heard Freya’s words. He then hurriedly shook his head and said, “I’m fine…”
“Then, why do you look a little unhappy? Are you feeling unwell? If you feel unwell, I can send you back now!” Freya said with concern.
“It’s nothing. I just recalled some things from the past!”
Connor said indifferently.
Freya did not ask any further.
In the piano room, Priscilla and Justin sat in front of their respective pianos.
Priscilla closed her eyes and stroked the piano keys. Although her expression was calm, she was extremely excited.
After all, she had not touched the piano for a long time. Now that she was touching the keys again, she naturally had mixed feelings.
Justin, on the other hand, looked relaxed. After all, he was very professional when it came to piano. Facing an amateur player like Priscilla, he did not feel nervous at all.
“Miss Priscilla, ladies first! Go ahead and choose a song.”
Justin was still considered a gentleman, so he took the initiative to let Priscilla choose the song.
“I’m okay with anything!”
Priscilla replied very nonchalantly.
When Hailey heard Priscilla’s words, a trace of disdain flashed across her face. She pouted and said, “That’s true. In any case, you will lose no matter what song you compete in. That’s why you’re okay with anything…”
Standing at the side, Connor could not help but look at Hailey and smile helplessly.
Although Hailey was quite good-looking, her character was a little lacking, especially her mouth. She was really unforgiving.
“Stupid loser, what are you looking at? Do you believe that I will gouge out your eyes?”
Hailey seemed to have noticed the smile on Connor’s face. She turned her head and glared at Connor as she shouted.
“How arrogant. I want to see how capable the Jacob Family is to dare touch my fiance!”
Freya was not pleased with Hailey, so she took this rare opportunity to step forward and shout at Hailey.
“Freya Phillips?”
When Hailey saw who was talking to her, a strange expression flashed across her face. Then, she sneered and said, “I was wondering who it was. So, it’s the young lady of the Phillips Family. Freya Phillips, have you been away for too long? You actually found such a loser as your fiance. You’re really not picky!”
“You…”
When Freya heard Hailey’s words, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
She did not expect the Jacob family to become so arrogant over the past few years. They did not even put the Phillips Family in their eyes. If it was a few years ago, Hailey would definitely not dare to speak to Freya in such a tone.
“Freya, there’s no need to be bothered by such a person. They survived for so many years by relying on their mouths. Let’s just start the competition!”
Priscilla said slowly.
“Priscilla, I remember that you were best at ‘Wedding in a Dream’ back then. Let my hubby compete with you with that song. What do you think?”
Hailey turned her head and said to Priscilla..
