Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Freya hesitated for a moment as she looked at Hailey, then took a step forward and said coldly, “If you really want to compete, 1’11 compete with you!”
Although Freya didn’t have much knowledge the piano, she had been practicing the guitar since childhood to cultivate her temperament, so her skill in playing the instrument was still decent.
Seeing Hailey being so aggressive, she couldn’t help herself either.
“Why should 1 compete with you? 1 want to compete with the delivery guy!”
Hailey wasn’t foolish. She thought that although Connor was skilled at playing the piano, he definitely couldn’t play the guitar. So she didn’t plan to take the risk of competing with Freya but instead chose Connor.
Connor stood in place and looked at Hailey. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes as he said softly, “I’m not in the mood to waste time with you here!”
After saying this, he walked to Freya’s side and said calmly, “Let’s go. There’s no need to stoop to the level of this kind of person!”
“Okay!”
Freya nodded lightly, intending to leave.
But when Hailey saw that they wanted to leave, she became somewhat unwilling. She ran directly in front of Connor and shouted loudly, “You can leave now, but you have to apologize to me first!”
“Apologize to you?”
Freya was speechless when she heard this.
She couldn’t understand what Hailey was thinking.
“Yeah, if you dare not compete with me, it means you’ve lost. If you lose, you have to apologize to me!” Hailey stared at them and said.
“You have no shame! It’s already gracious of us not to ask for an apology from you. Why should we apologize to you? On what grounds?” Freya said in exasperation.
“I don’t care, but now you only have two choices. Either you let the delivery guy compete with me on the guitar, or you apologize to me right now. Otherwise, no one is leaving today!” Hailey shouted arrogantly.
Connor, Freya, and the others originally didn’t want to argue with her, because they knew it would be pointless to reason with such a shrew.
So when she proposed to compete with Connor on the guitar, he didn’t want to pay her any attention at all.
Because he knew he couldn’t play the guitar at all!
When he was young, he did learn the guitar while studying the piano with his mother.
However, he eventually gave it up on his own after a period of time because he wasn’t very interested in the guitar and he put all his energy into the piano.
So now, the only piece he could play on the guitar was just one, and it wasn’t a famous piece, just a piece his mother casually composed.
That’s why he refused Hailey’s challenge.
“Hailey, do you think this is your home? If we want to leave, we will leave. It’s not up to you to decide!” Priscilla couldn’t stand it anymore and shouted in anger at Hailey.
“If you leave now, it means you admit defeat!”
Hailey retorted with her eyes wide.
“You have reached the pinnacle of shamelessness! 1 have never seen someone like you!” Maya looked at Hailey in front of her, her expression incredibly frustrated as she shouted.
“You’re the one who’s shameless! Are you going to admit defeat or let that useless person compete with me in playing the guitar? It’s up to you to decide!”
Hailey blocked the exit on the second floor, with an extremely arrogant expression.
“I’m leaving today, and with so many of us, I don’t believe you can stop us alone!”
Naturally, Maya wouldn’t tolerate Hailey’s behavior. She reached out to push her away.
“If any of you dare to touch me today, I will have my uncle arrest all of you. Even if you can’t be sentenced, 1’11 have you detained for a week. Let’s see what you can do then!” Hailey shouted loudly.
After hearing Hailey’s words, Priscilla suddenly remembered that Hailey’s uncle was the director of the police station in Phillips Manor.
If this matter really escalated today, it could indeed be troublesome. So she quickly stopped Maya, signaling for her not to act.
“Priscilla, why are you stopping me?” Maya seemed a bit unhappy and shouted.
“Maya, don’t be impulsive!” Priscilla replied in a low voice.
“Why don’t you leave? Just continue walking!”
Hailey’s expression became even more arrogant when she saw Priscilla stopping Maya.
Seeing this scene, Connor seemed to understand Priscilla’s intention.
He knew that if he didn’t agree to compete in playing the guitar with Hailey today, they would not be able to leave.
So after hesitating for a moment, he walked up to her and said expressionlessly, “Are you sure you want to compete with me in playing the guitar?”
“Yes!”
Hailey nodded without hesitation.
“You can compete with me in playing the guitar, but I have a request,” Connor replied calmly.
“What request do you have?” she asked after a brief pause.
“I haven’t played the guitar before, so 1 don’t know many pieces. If you really want to compete with me in playing the guitar, you can choose a piece you know, and I’ll choose a piece I know. Then we can find a few people who understand the guitar to be the judges and let them evaluate who plays better. How about that?” he said softly.
“That’s fine. You play your piece, and I’ll play mine. Then everyone can vote to determine the winner. Is that okay?”
She smiled when she heard that he really didn’t know how to play the guitar. Without thinking, she agreed to his suggestion.
Upon seeing that Connor actually agreed to compete with Hailey in playing the guitar, a hint of helplessness flashed across Priscilla’s face. She quickly walked over to Connor’s side and whispered to him, “Connor, have you gone mad? Although Hailey isn’t very good at playing the piano, she ranked in the top three nationally for the guitar. There are only a few people in the entire Phillips Manor who can defeat her. Besides, you don’t know how to play the guitar at all. Competing with her in playing the guitar is just embarrassing yourself, isn’t it?”
“Indeed, Connor, you’ve already done well by defeating Justin today. Why did you agree to Hailey?” Freya also exclaimed with a puzzled tone.
“You’ve seen her tantrums just now. If I didn’t agree to her, she wouldn’t let us go so easily. Anyway, I’ve already said that I can’t play the guitar, so even if 1 lose, it won’t be embarrassing. But if I’m lucky enough to win against her, then she’ll be convinced!” he replied calmly.
Priscilla and Freya sighed helplessly upon hearing his words.
Priscilla had only come here today to catch up with old friends, but she didn’t expect so much to happen. Fortunately, Connor was present, or else she and the others would have been subjected to humiliation by Hailey.
As for the outcome of the guitar competition, they didn’t hold much hope in their hearts. At most, Connor would lose, and Hailey would have found a way to let them leave.
Therefore, she didn’t plan to continue persuading Connor.
“Mr. James, Is there a guitar on the third floor of the art center?” Hailey suddenly shouted.
“Yes, there’s a guitar on the third floor,” replied James. He couldn’t afford to offend Hailey, so he could only reluctantly agree.
“Delivery guy, come with me to the third floor!” Hailey shouted with a disdainful expression, then walked towards the stairs.
Connor sighed helplessly as he watched her figure and followed her up the stairs..
