Chapter 279: Will Tina Get a New Mom?

Tina glanced meaningfully toward the door. Jared Farrell smirked, "Merely breaking his hands and feet, that's too lenient." Mack had lunged at Tina, but refrained from striking because he saw the silver needle in Tina's hand pierce into his body. He was no doctor and couldn't tell which part of Mack's body the needle had hit, but the fact that it drove a man insane spoke volumes about the girl's medical skills.

Her piano skills were commendable, though lacking in depth compared to Sutcliffe's, but the untrained ear wouldn't notice the imperfections. "Willow plays the piano beautifully, a true talent and quite the beauty," someone commented. "Did you know, since divorcing Ethan Ward, she hasn't remarried? Lately, she seems closest to Jasper; maybe she likes

Everyone was watching; not playing would diminish her reputation as a pianist. With a forced composure, she continued to play alongside Tina. But her first note was a mistake, glaringly obvious against Tina's
