Chapter 790

Isabelle's vote count was unexpectedly high, firmly ranking below Harold's vote count.

Harold had the most votes, leaving the other candidates far behind.

Isabelle's votes were always just a few thousand less than his.

Harold increased his votes by a lot and she followed suit.

The fact that a female candidate could rank second in Middle Evroya was shocking to everyone. Especially since it was a male-dominated society, this seemed like a sign of change?

Harold wasn't an overly conservative man, especially after meeting Sylvia, he no longer dared to underestimate any woman. He deeply admired and respected Sylvia from the bottom of his heart but he didn't dare express it.

Just as the presidential election in Middle Evroya was raging on, Vienna's piano competition preliminaries began.

"If Jenna makes it to the finals smoothly, then I'll have to face her head-on," Ashlyn said impatiently following Mrs. Ritter. "Mom, can you think of any solutions?"

"Sylvia is cunning and well-connected; she even registered Jenna for this competition. What can we do now? Louis is the president of Global Piano Association and Sylvia has higher status in music circles than me so what else can I do?" Mrs. Ritter was also frustrated. "Although Mr. Guzman has connections too but if we ask him for help, then he probably won't agree..."

Ashlyn suddenly had an idea after hearing some gossip these past few days here: "Mom! I heard that Mr. Guzman doesn't get along with Louis because he wants to take over as president of Global Piano Association but Louis passed it on to Sylvia instead."

"Really?" Mrs. Ritter brightened up immediately. "One of the judges for preliminaries is Mr. Guzman; let someone tell him about Jenna and Sylvia's relationship."

What will happen when Mr. Guzman takes action remains to be seen.

The judges for preliminaries were ordinary ones while those for finals were industry bigwigs including Mr. Guzman himself who arrived at the venue ten minutes before start time along with several other judges taking their seats at judge table together.

Due to being finals, there were clearly more spectators than during previous two days' preliminaries, filling almost all seats in audience area, while Sylvia and Franklin sat down at their own positions too. Brayden kept his eyes fixed on the stage, as if he was the one competing instead of Jenna. Jasper was the most composed, because Evie wasn't here. He watched Franklin and Sylvia together, Brayden and Jenna being affectionate with each other, and his heart ached with envy.

Was being single really that bad? Did he have to be forced to see their PDA.

Look at Master Brayden - he pursued Jenna and they were about to get married soon. It was like a rocket speed.
