Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez

A beam of light shone on Yvette. Closing her eyes and ignoring the surrounding noise, she gently lifted her slender, delicate fingers.

Everyone in the auditorium held their breath along with her movements.

In the next moment, her nimble fingers danced on the piano keys. The sharp, high-spirited tune was perfectly fitting and carried an intense passion.

The second half of the melody suddenly became gentle, warm, peaceful, and quiet, stirring the crowd.

Until the last note faded. Yvette was wholly absorbed in it. Her whole being was integrated into the piece. The piano held at truly unique significance for her, after all.

The audience was dumbfounded. If they hadn’t seen it themselves, they would never have believed that Yvette had played the piece.

Yvette withdrew her hands, pursed her lips, and lifted her gaze. Stage light reflected in her eyes, and the irritation in her heart had decreased significantly

Zion was utterly surprised by Yvette’s technique.

She hadn’t even opened her eyes throughout the piano play. No one else in Clusia could play piano with their eyes closed. not to mention to play it wonderfully. He thought Yvette’s piano skills were already beyond his ability to comment on.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I wasn’t mistaken. She’s truly a genius. I’ve spent two years searching for someone who can secure a spot for Clusia in the international piano competition in a year’s time. I believe I’ve found that person now, he whispered inwardly.

Zion was confident that Yvette’s mastery of the piano had reached an extraordinary level. As long as she was willing to compete, she would surely surpass Mysonna’s consecutive victories in international piano competitions.

Soon, everyone snapped out of the music. Their eyes were filled with excitement. Countless applause resounded, each time louder than before.

The audience burst into cheers. Someone started chanting Yvette’s name, and soon, everyone joined in. “Yvette! Yvette!” The chanting was so loud that it nearly shook the roof.

Andrew, who was in the audience, took a bite of his half-eaten chips and thought his worries were unnecessary. He glanced at the carefree Bonnie and mocked himself inwardly. Fine. It turns out I’m the worrywart here.

He wondered what else Yvette could do and thought he might need to reassess the education in the countryside and see which village had produced a genius like Yvette.

Zachary watched Yvette on stage, feeling proud. Unable to contain his excitement, he deliberately turned to Simon and Jaiden and said, “I can’t believe she can play the piano quite well

Simon and Jaiden exchanged glances and shared a knowing smile. They knew Zachary was showing off but didn’t blame him. Anyone who had a child who grew up in the countryside for over 20 years and turned out that excellent would probably be even more arrogant than him.

Simon gazed at Yvette, who looked calm at the center of the stage, profoundly admiring her brilliance. Others might not know, but he was aware of Yvette’s secret identity as Siren and wondered if there was anything she couldn’t do.

He couldn’t help but look forward to the chess and calligraphy competition the next day, eager to see what miracles Yvette would accomplish next.

The contestants who had mocked Yvette earlier felt a bit regretful now, thinking they shouldn’t have underestimated her or doubted her before she even performed.

Nellie, who was sitting in the second row, had already dug her nails into her flesh. Next to her, Rebecca was unusually quiet. She only stared at Yvette with an unreadable expression, thinking, ‘Maybe Grandpa was right. We shouldn’t underestimate one like Yvette. I was too careless’

Ruby sat motionless in her seat. Her face was as white as a sheet as she locked her gaze on Yvette. Her eyes were filled with malicious intent.

She mused. ‘How could Yvette be so good at piano? She’s only a country bumpkin. Even if she returned to the Chambers family, how could she have learned such a complicated piece in just a few days? I’ve carefully prepared for it, but she…

To practice the piece, she’d blistered her fingers and stayed up life. Yet, Yvette had just played it effortlessly. Not only that. Yvette also did it beautifully.

It was the same piece, and Ruby knew she had lost completely this time. However, she didn’t want to admit defeat. She forced herself to calm down and thought. There must be a way, I can’t lose. Otherwise, how can I continue to be the student council president? I need to stay calm…

Zion waved his hand, and the students in the auditorium gradually quieted down. “Ms. Zeller, I’m afraid I can’t give you a score,” he said

The students didn’t understand what he meant and began to discuss.

“What does Mr. Holmes mean by he can’t give a score? Does he have some bias against Yvette?”

I don’t think so. Didn’t he just invite Yvette to sit with him earlier? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“That’s right. Mr. Holmes did invite Yvette earlier. Let’s see what he has to say?”

Upon hearing some murmurs, Zion felt resigned as he actually hadn’t even finished speaking yet. He picked up the microphone and said, “Everyone, what I’m saying is not that Yvette doesn’t deserve a score, but I’m not qualified to judge Yvette at my level”

His words caused an uproar as everyone thought he was already holding Yvette in high regard.

Sawyer quietly lowered his head at the back, lost in thought.

Simon was taken aback. He knew Zion well. Zion wouldn’t speak like that unless Yvette’s piano skills were unmatched. He wondered if Yvette’s piano skills had reached that level.

The usual students might not know, but Jaiden and the group were well aware of Zion’s status in upper-class society. Zion’s acclaim for Yvette could already place her at the top of the music industry. No one else in Clusia could evaluate her if Zion couldn’t

Ruby was so upset that her lips were trembling. She couldn’t imagine how she would leave the auditorium later.

Yvette nodded. Her expression was as cold as usual when she replied, “Oh… I’m leaving then.”

Zion chuckled. Thinking that Yvette might really leave if he still didn’t say something, he cleared his throat and uttered, “Ms. Zeller, just a moment, please. Since it’s a competition, there are winners and losers. So, I can only give you a ten, the highest score here. Do you have any problem with it?”

Nellie clenched her teeth, whispering inwardly, ‘What problem can Yvette possibly have? It’s already a perfect score. She should be content with that

She rubbed her sore back and thought she had wasted her time there just to watch Yvette drawing attention.

Nellie started to doubt the information she’d found about Yvette who was supposed to have grown up in the countryside and knew nothing. It turned out it was all lies. She fished out her phone and quietly slipped away while Zachary wasn’t paying attention.

When everyone was cheering for Yvette, Ruby suddenly spoke. Everyone looked at her, confused as to what else she wanted to talk about at that moment.
