Chapter 282 Abrupt Change

Olivia tried to lighten the mood, but she too had seen the scathing comments online; it was a complete.

disaster.

They had hoped Sierra’s performance would win over fans and spark interest in Luster Corporation and

the brand.

But the reality was far from ideal. Sierra’s performance had been met with ridicule, but it had also brought the company under scrutiny, with some even saying that the jewelry was just as mediocre as Sierra’s supposed piano prodigy status.

“You’ve witnessed Sierra’s dedication over the years. Surely, this recent setback must be due to illness,” Olivia lamented, disheartened by Sierra’s recent decline in performance.

Ronald let out a cold chuckle and rebuked, “Don’t think I’m unaware of your schemes! You stopped Maggie’s piano lessons because she showed talent. She’s my enemy’s daughter, so I turned a blind eye to her. Yet, look at the consequences of indulging Sierra all these years!

“If only I had realized earlier and focused on nurturing Maggie instead!”

Ronald’s tone was stern, and his disappointment in Sierra was evident.

Trying to divert the conversation, Olivia remarked, “Speaking of Maggie, she seems quite shrewd. Despite her teachers‘ claims of her lacking talent, her piano skills are exceptional. She’s quite cunning.

Ronald fell silent, weighed down by his thoughts.

“We’ve barely heard she mentioned it over the years. If it weren’t for her brief performance at the party, I would have believed she never touched the piano again. Remember, Maggie isn’t our child; we need to be cautious, Olivia cautioned.

Her words were slow and deliberate. She understood that Ronald’s outburst about Maggie being the daughter of his enemy was uncharacteristic.

For years, they had avoided mentioning Maggie’s lineage out of fear of raising suspicions.

Ronald’s loss of rationality was evident.

Olivia couldn’t help but sighed.

After all, Sierra was her daughter, and no matter how much Olivia tried to help, she couldn’t change the fact that Sierra wasn’t living up to expectations.

Ronald said sternly, I’m aware of this.”
