Chapter 272 Who Could Have Been So Bold?

Joyce did not resist; she simply gave Maggie a gentle hug.

Words were unnecessary; their mutual understanding was clear.

After finishing Nathael’s brooch, Maggie felt relief wash over her as if she had completed an important

task.

Having successfully prepared the pieces for the second round of the competition, she joined Joyce on the sofa to watch a movie and practice some acting.

Initially captivated by the film, their focus shifted when a message from Mia popped up.

Mia wrote. That fool Sierra seems to have fallen for it.‘

A moment later, Mia sent a link which Maggie promptly clicked, leading to Sierra’s Twitter page.

Earlier, Sierra had shared two of Maggie’s recorded piano performance videos in hopes of gaining more followers.

Leo and Nathael had been strategically promoting her videos, especially during discussions related to the competition.

This situation sparked online discussions about the participants‘ skills in the competition and led to comparisons between Sierra and the woman in the videos.

Since Sierra had not shown her face in the videos, there was much online speculation about her identity.

Sierra’s performance in the first round was underwhelming, which had not helped her establish a favourable image, and she faced criticism for the video Mia had posted.

Along with past controversies, Sierra was now keen to rehabilitate her image in the family.

As Maggie scrolled through Sierra’s Twitter, she noticed Sierra’s strategic approach–retweeting the videos without directly claiming them as her own.

One follower asked, ‘Is that really you in the video? Your performance was moving!‘

Sierra responded, Thank you, I will continue to work hard.

Another follower inquired, ‘What piece will you perform next? Will you play the same piece live?”

Sierra’s response remained vague. The next performance will be chosen randomly from a selection of pieces.
