Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 331 The Present

AL 6:00 PM, after having dinner with Nathael, Maggie was taken to the Camerons‘ mansion.

With the University’s Piano Competition only a week away, the atmosphere at home felt tense.

Joseph’s demeanour remained lifeless. After Maggie leaked the recording, Ronald was visibly disappointed, and lately, he hardly inquired about his well–being.

While Olivia urged Sierra to practice the piano, she also attended to Joseph, adding to the strained atmosphere. Moreover, there seemed to be some tension between her and Ronald, giving the house an air of decay.

“You’re home, Maggie,” Noah, sporting a smile, remarked upon Maggie’s return.

“Hello, Uncle Noah,” Maggie greeted, avoiding Noah’s scrutinizing gaze.

Seeing Maggie’s return, Ronald chimed in, “You’re back. How’s the preparation going for the upcoming round? Do you feel confident?”

Maggie paused before responding, “Dad, I learned to play the piano for a while, but due to lack of time and systematic learning, I don’t feel very confident.”

Sierra, who overheard, couldn’t resist sneering.

She wasn’t sure who that was meant for; to Sierra, it seemed as if Maggie was ciritizing her lack of practice.

“If that’s the case, Maggie, you must be a natural talent, since you’re self–taught and gifted,” Sierra quipped.

Maggie glanced at her and explained, “I did receive guidance from Mr. Dunphy a few times, but without structured learning and consistent practice, I’m bound to be rusty.”

Sierra sneered again, “You need to compose yourself for the third round. How’s your preparation?”

In the previous round, she managed to advance to the third round thanks to her grandfather’s

connections.

However, the third round focused on composing ability. Her grandfather had enlisted several experts to help her with arrangements, and she had been practicing diligently. She was confident of making a lasting impression.

Maggie smiled. “I’m still working on it.
