Chapter 3

Bang!

The trophy in Sharon's hands fell onto the ground and shattered.

James was only five years old, but he really liked playing the piano. He especially liked Tom Jackson.

Tom had a weird temper and never took in any students.

Sharon used all kinds of methods to become good friends with Tom's wife. She would bring gifts and snacks, and accompany Mrs. Jackson shopping and for beauty treatments as well.

It took Sharon two years before Tom finally agreed to take in one student.

During her previous life, Sharon refused to agree to the divorce and Riley was said to be a mistress for quite a while.

Sean then stole James' spot for Jordan to become Mr. Tom's student. He said that it was to make up for Riley.

But during this lifetime, Sharon had already agreed to the divorce.

Why did Jordan replace James again?

Sharon's heart ached like mad.

She squatted down and wiped the tears away from James's face. She then picked up her phone and called Sean.

She rang five times, but no one answered.

At that moment, Riley updated her Twitter.

"Congratulations on my daughter, for becoming Mr. Tom Jackson's only student! Someone has finally recognized your talent and hard work! I'm so happy!"

The text was accompanied by a picture of Jordan with Tom.

The comments section was full of compliments.

"Jordan is amazing! She's as excellent as her beautiful mom!"

"Tom Jackson has never taken in any students. Is this girl extremely talented or something?"

"I'm so jealous! Only Riley can have such an exceptional daughter!"

There was a contrast between Jordan and James. In the picture, Jordan was smiling happily and in front of Sharon, James was crying his eyes out.

Sharon was infuriated and immediately headed over with James.

However, as soon as she arrived outside Tom's house, Sean stopped her.

He looked at Sharon and James with a frown. "I knew you would come and cause trouble."

James was extremely upset. "I'm not here to cause trouble. I was supposed to be Mr. Jackson's student."

Sean squatted down and rubbed James's head. "But Jordan likes Mr. Jackson. Can't you let her be his student?"

"No! I like Mr. Jackson as well!"

As soon as James finished speaking, Sean's face changed.

He stood up and looked down on James.

"That's enough. You're older than Jordan, so you should let Jordan go first. It's only a chance of being Mr. Jackson's student, what's there to fight about? Has your mom taught you to be so petty?"

James didn't understand why he was told off after his dad allowed Jordan to replace him by becoming Tom's student.

He just stood there feeling confused as tears trickled down his cheeks.

At the sight of this, Sharon's heart ached even more.

But no matter what she did in her previous life, she still wasn't able to let James become Tom's student.

This time, no matter how angry she was, she forced herself to remain calm.

"Sean, I've put in a lot of effort during the past two years to let James become Tom's student. Please, I beg of you. Can you not replace James?"

This was the first time that she begged Sean over the past years.

Sean's heart softened. "But I've already promised Jordan. Don't worry. I won't let James lose out. I've prepared James's favorite Lego set for him!"

That was when Sharon realized that no matter what she did, Sean would always have an excuse to give Riley and Jordan things that used to belong to her and James.

When one became completely disappointed, they would be at a loss for words.

Sharon walked around Sean and wanted to go into Tom's house.

She was the one who Mrs. Jackson knew. As long as she explained things to Mrs. Jackson, James could still be Tom's student.

However, Sharon only took two steps before Sean picked her up and placed her in the car.

"Let go of me, Sean! You can't do this to me and James!" cried Sharon.

"You can do whatever you want to me and ask for anything as compensation, but it's Jordan's big day today. I can't let you ruin it."

Sean did feel guilty towards Sharon and James, but there was nothing he could do. Being Tom's student was also very important to Jordan.

He didn't accept Riley's confession and married Sharon all those years back, so he needed to use other methods to make up for Riley. He couldn't let her suffer any more grievances.

Sharon couldn't break free at all. When Sean finally let go, the ceremony of Tom recognizing Jordan as his student was over.

Sharon rushed out of the car, found Mrs. Jackson, and explained the situation to her.

But Mrs. Jackson said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sharon. The ceremony is over. Now, everyone knows that Jordan Winston is my husband's student. If he makes a change now, it'll be an embarrassment."

There was nothing Sharon could do.

Even Mrs. Jackson couldn't convince Tom to take in another student.

Mrs. Jackson went back after saying those words.

Riley held Jordan's hand and walked up to Sharon, who looked down.

"Thank you so much, Sharon. You're the reason that Jordan can have such a great mentor. I will no longer hold you responsible for having people spread rumors on the Internet saying that I'm a mistress!"

Sean stood beside her and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you. I'll be even happier if Sharon can be as kind as you."

Hearing those words, Sharon felt her heart ache due to the anger.

"But I wasn't the one who hired these people, Sean!" she said.
