Chapter 152

Penulis: Sienna Yates
Sharon turned around and saw Theo, Carter, and Kelly standing not far away. Nate stood beside them. He had come along to lend support.

In Nate's hand were two violins: one belonging to Kelly, the other to Theo.

Kelly tilted her head, looking up at Carter with a face full of surprise. "Carter, Sharon plays the violin too? How come you and Theo never mentioned that before?"

Nate let out a short, mocking laugh. "She's just copying Kelly, that's all. Probably thought Kelly looked too beautiful playing the violin and decided to mimic her. Kelly was a renowned musical talent back at Bell University. No matter how hard Sharon tries, she won't even come close to a tenth of what Kelly can do. And if she hadn't purposely dressed like Kelly back then, Carter never would've mistaken her for—"

Before he could finish, Kelly quickly interrupted, "That's enough, Nate. Theo's right here. Don't say such things."

Nate clicked his tongue and fell silent, though his displeasure still hung thick in the

    Kelly's tone was polite on the surface, but anyone listening could hear the message loud and clear—she was telling Sharon to back down.Xavier quietly observed the exchange, then lowered his gaze to Matty."Matty, what did you think of Sharon's violin playing?""It was really beautiful. It made me think of a word I just learned," Matty replied."Oh?" Xavier's curiosity was piqued. "What word?""Celestial music."Xavier chuckled. "And how does it compare to Kelly's playing?""Sharon's way better!" Matty said without missing a beat. "Kelly has such a mean heart—there's no way she could play better than Sharon."In truth, Matty had never heard Kelly play the violin. But his bond with Sharon was strong, and his loyalty was unwavering.Xavier could see that and didn't push the conversation any further.Across the room, Sharon heard Kelly's words and responded with a faint smile. "Sorry, I don't joke around with people I'm not close to."The smile on Kelly's face faltered just sli

    Though Kelly was a bit curious, she nodded.It wasn't long before Lucy came back, holding a clipboard."Kelly, would you mind giving me your autograph?""Of course." Kelly took the pen and signed her name with practiced ease.Lucy beamed as she accepted the clipboard, then asked, "Are you here today as one of the guest judges?""No," Kelly replied with a smile, gently pulling Theo closer. "I'm just here to support Theo for the showcase."Lucy looked down at Theo, and her eyes lit up with admiration."No wonder he's your son. He's extraordinary—you can see it right away. I wouldn't be surprised if you two end up taking home the champion title today."Coming from a judge, that kind of statement was already stepping over a line.Another judge, clearly unimpressed by Lucy's behavior, raised his voice with a sharp edge."Lucy, who is this woman? A friend of yours?"Lucy understood the implication but answered without hesitation."No, not a friend. This is Kelly Walt, a violinist

    Everyone turned to stare at Sharon.Nate's face twisted in disbelief. "Sharon, are you seriously challenging Kelly right now? Even professional violinists wouldn't dare say that to her face. Did you grow some seriously big balls overnight?"Sharon stayed calm, her tone breezy. "When it comes to the violin, I've never lost to anyone."Nate froze for a beat, then suddenly erupted into uncontrollable laughter. He laughed like he'd lost his mind, flailing his arms and nearly doubling over."Never lost to anyone? You? Who gave you the guts to say that in front of Kelly? Your mother?"The crowd broke into laughter.They didn't think Sharon was arrogant—just absurd.When the gap in skill is small, it's called confidence. When it's this wide, it's just delusion. Laughable, really.Right now, Sharon was nothing more than a punchline.Even Madeline, usually so stern and proper, couldn't stop the slight smirk tugging at the corners of her lips.But not everyone laughed.Carter and Theo

    "I'll just say it right now," Nate declared, his voice loud and cocky. "Out of all the parents here today, not a single one can hold a candle to Kelly. If anyone disagrees, step up and prove me wrong."It was an arrogant statement—delivered without shame. The crowd stirred, surprised whispers rippling through the room.But no one stepped forward.The Bell University Conservatory of Music in Marcentine had a serious reputation. Tons of privileged sons and daughters from powerful families had tried to get in—hoping to boost their résumés overseas after failing to stand out at home. Most didn't even make it past the application process.This wasn't the kind of school where you could pull strings or call in favors. It was a place for true prodigies.Everyone here had been around the elite long enough to understand what kind of game Kelly was playing. After hearing the back-and-forth just now, most of them had already put the pieces together.Wasn't this just another classic case? A m

    "Or," Carter offered, "I can postpone the performance and have someone bring you a new dress."Sharon's expression was frosted over. "The dress I'm wearing was designed to match Matty's outfit. Carter, there's still a performance ahead. For now, I won't go after Kelly for sabotaging me. I'll deal with her after the showcase."A shadow crossed Carter's face, something cold flickering behind his eyes. He looked like he wanted to speak—but bit it back, forcing his voice to stay steady."I'll pay you ten times what the dress cost."Sharon let out a bitter laugh. "So that's where we are now? You think I've sunk so low that I need you to throw money at me to make this right?"His gaze hardened. "Then name your price."She glanced around. Too many eyes were on her. If she actually gave him a number, she knew exactly what kind of story Nate and the rest of the Biggs family would spin out of it. She hadn't said a single word yet, but she could already feel their eyes, the judgment, the sh

    "This is the perfect out for you right now," Nate said coolly. "Take it while you still can. This talent showcase is being recorded, you know. Once it's online, there's no taking it back. You really want your most embarrassing moment living on the internet forever? Be the punchline to everyone's jokes? Honestly, you should be thanking Kelly. If not for her, you'd be the laughingstock of the whole show."Wendy stared at him, stunned at how shameless he was. "So by your logic, Kelly dumping coffee all over Sharon was the right thing to do? We should be grateful to her for it?"Nate didn't flinch. "If you want to thank her, we won't stop you. But don't go blaming Kelly later just because you can't pull it together onstage. We're not taking the fall for that."Kelly tugged lightly at Nate's sleeve, her voice soft. "Nate, let it go. I didn't mean to, but… it was my fault.""You're too kind, Kelly," Nate said coldly, shooting a look at Sharon. "That's exactly why people think they can wa
