Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 621 Composition

1/8

Meryl knew full well that she was just a filler, and she had no real hopes of winning. She only hoped not to embarrass Harvey too much, and getting into the top ten would be enough for her.

Rachel, on the other hand, had an air of determination when she met her at the competition entrance.

"This competition is live-streamed, and our orchestra only has the two of us competing. I'll ask you one more time. Do you want to collaborate with me?"

Meryl firmly refused. "No collaboration."

She knew a piece played with two instruments had a completely different effect from one played with just one.

The two instruments complemented each other, enriching the melody and enhancing the music's appeal. In past competitions, nearly all the winning pieces were collaborations between two players. By rejecting the collaboration, Meryl was essentially giving up her chance of winning.

Seeing herself rejected, Rachel was a bit annoyed. "I'm really curious to see what kind of tricks you can pull off!"

But what Meryl didn't expect was that Christine would also be

Normally, the participants were selected by orchestras from neross the country, or they were top students recommended by universities,

Christine had been taken by the police during the orchestra's internal selection and hadn't participated in it, meaning she had no qualification to enter,

"Why is she here?" she wondered,

Christine looked at Meryl with a smile and said, "Surprised to see me here? My dad's the vice conductor of the orchestra. He just got me into the competition under the orchestra's name. It was a piece of cake,"

"If it weren't for the police taking me that day, I would've won the cello section. Meryl, don't tell me you think that just because Mr. Herty took you on as a student, you're better than me? I'm still the queen of the cello!" Meryl didn't even bother to respond to Christine.

She turned and walked away.

The disregard almost pushed Christine over the edge.

She had begged her father just to get into this competition.

The fact that Christine had been to jail had been all over the orchestra. The music industry was small, and she had to win this
