Chapter 791

Everyone stared with wide eyes and perked ears, afraid to miss her voice. Jenna clenched her palms and bit down on her lower lip unconsciously. The host's voice was loud and excited, "8. 8 points! Advancing to the finals!" "Thank you, thank you!" Jenna quickly bowed in gratitude before heading towards the judges to collect her final round badge.

Mr. Guzman's face was sour; he didn't expect Jenna to make it into the finals after all. Mrs. Ritter felt uneasy but kept a calm facade; Ashlyn lacked composure compared to her mother, "Mom, how is she so lucky? She made it this far?"

"Forget about it! Let's go!" Mrs. Ritter spoke coldly as she stood up from her seat.

As soon as she rose from her chair, Ashlyn followed suit along with several other members of the piano association who left with them.

"It's normal for someone like Jenna to advance in a piano competition," Evelyn whispered quietly to Ashlyn while they walked away together, "But advancing in composition is not so easy."

"You're right." Ashlyn nodded in agreement, "Tomorrow is the composition competition- let's see what she can do- I don't believe that she can compose three original pieces."

Mrs. Ritter overheard their conversation and suddenly stopped walking; turning around towards everyone behind them who had been following silently.

Everyone looked scared stiff as they watched Mrs. Ritter sternly say: "The day after tomorrow is the final of the piano competition- all of you will follow me for special training." Special training...

This was going be torture!

Fear filled each person's face but no one dared disobey Mrs. Ritter's command.

Mrs. Ritter thought about how everything had gone wrong since meeting Sylvia and the Wright family - her mood became increasingly irritable especially when Sylvia pushed her down onto ground during their confrontation or when Franklin humiliated her at every opportunity possible.

She must send her daughter into an enviable position - she couldn't lose against anyone else!

Suddenly a well-maintained glamorous woman appeared ahead of them wearing a dark red cheongsam dress with only an emerald necklace around neck and jade bracelet on wrist -the epitome of elegance. "Oh my goodness! Who could it be? It turns out my sister or should I call you 'Mrs. Ritter"?"

The woman smiled sweetly yet condescendingly.

Ashlyn immediately recognized the woman and realized it was Allie Newman, the vice president of the Global Piano Association. Allie and her mother were sisters? How was that possible? Others were also shocked to see Allie's sister after a while. If they looked closely, they could see some similarities between Mrs. Ritter and the woman.

Mrs. Ritter stopped in her tracks, standing about five steps away from Allie with an expressionless face as she glanced at her sister before speaking in a calm voice, "My dear sister, what a surprise to run into you here."

Allie approached Mrs. Ritter with an elegant smile on her face but spoke words that made everyone's faces turn pale.

"Dear sister, what's up? Are you going to play some tricks again? It's too bad that you kicked me out of Urgford back then because now I'm part of the Global Piano Association while you're just part of Urgford's piano association. What do you have to compare with me?"
