Chapter 177: You Are Not Worthy!

Tina looked at her with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, and Elise Chandler was instantly reminded of her recent helpless experience on the runway, her voice suddenly becoming quieter. "Tina," Amber said, her eyes half-closed, pitifully looking at Tina, "I know you never really considered me as a sister, but I just wanted to hear you play the piano once. Is that too much to ask?"

"You-" Tina's eyebrows slightly raised, her clear eyes showing a trace of indifference, "are not worthy!"

Her words made everyone around frown, especially the members of the Reed family, except for Annabelle, Jasper Reed, and Audrey Woodwind. Their looks towards Tina were slightly resentful. After all, Amber was now the precious daughter of the Ashbury Reed family, and despite past events, it was unacceptable for Tina to so blatantly disrespect her.

"Tina, if you can't play, just admit it. There's no need to pretend!" a brash male voice called out from the crowd.

Jared Farrell's eyebrows knotted as he looked over, only to see Nathaniel's irritating face. The beating he had given him last time was evidently not enough. Logan had explicitly warned Nathaniel to stay away from Amber, yet here he was, having shown up deliberately today.

"Amber," Nathaniel strode over to her, handing her a gift, "for you, I hope you like it."

Amber received the gift, a blush creeping onto her face as she opened it to find a one-carat diamond necklace. Under normal circumstances, she would have been thrilled with such a gift, but now, looking at the Ophelia's Heart necklace around Tina's neck, it seemed rather insignificant.

"I really like it," she said, her heart discontented, but her face showing pleasure as she put on the necklace. She then looked sadly at Tina, "Tina, won't you really give me this gift?"

The more Tina refused to perform, the more Amber was convinced that Tina couldn't play the piano, and she was determined to force Tina onto the stage to embarrass herself, to highlight her own overflowing talents. She had lost so many times before; this time, she was determined to regain her standing.
