Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Zion paused for a moment, then raised the scorecard in his hand. “Nine points.”

The entire audience gasped in surprise, buzzing with conversations. The highest score for the previous contestants was only eight-point live, so everyone knew about Zion’s strict judging.

With Ruby scoring nine points, it practically assured her victory. Was there any suspense left now?

Nellie couldn’t hide her glee, and Rebecca gave Yvette a gloating look. They thought, “Why didn’t she have any reaction? Is she just pretending? Let’s see if she can keep up that nonchalant attitude later..

Only Zachary looked at Yvette with concern. Yvette was so mysterious. Zachary couldn’t quite figure out Yvette’s piano skills whether she could play at all, and how good she might be. But deep down, he still doubted Yvette could win against Ruby

Zion looked at Ruby, who was trying her best to hide her joy on stage, and spoke softly. “Well done. You’ve made great progress. It’s clear how much effort you’ve put into this piece ‘Dream’ by Mr. Brooks. You’ve truly grasped the mood of the piece”

He continued. “I hope you always remember your mindset while playing ‘Dream’ today. Only by staying true to yourself can. you go further on the piano path.” Zion subtly emphasized the importance of “attitude” to Ruby.

Ruby was already dazed by the high score. She only knew she had scored the highest among everyone and simply ignored

Zion’s comments.

Ruby had another plan, she was determined to accomplish something at this event today. If she succeeded, she could finally join Zion’s studio, something she had always dreamed about

Ruby clenched her fingers, staring straight at Zion, with ambition and desire plainly visible in her eyes. “Mr. Holmes, do you think my playing is good enough for you to give me a chance to join your studio?”

Zion frowned, his expression turning cold. Such petty tactics-he hadn’t expected Ruby to ask such a question in front of

everyone

Zion remained composed. “Ms. Scott, my studio has an annual assessment. If you’re interested, you can apply for that. At that time, the instructors will assess and decide whether to accept you. For now, let’s focus on the competition.”

Ruby gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her nails digging to her palms. She thought she had performed well enough this time, and even Zion had already praised her. Why wouldn’t he give her a chance?
