The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chatper 279

Chapter 279

Mila’s face had darkened with shame. The confident look on her face was shattered

She couldn’t keep up with Vivienne?!

How could that be possible?

Meanwhile, down in the audience, the people who had been engrossed in Vivienne’s performance all simultaneously furrowed their brows.

They looked at Mila with very annoyed, even sort of disgusted, expressions

“What the heck is Mila playing?! Couldn’t she even get the first note right?”

“She’s a renowned pianist, and she can’t even outshine Vivienne, a country girl? What’s the point of her playing at all? She should just go home, get married, and become a housewife”

“Hurry up and get off the stage! We want to hear Vivienne!”

Everyone chattered as Mila’s face slowly turned a ghastly pale

No! She couldn’t lose to Vivienne!

If she lost, how could she ever become the matriarch of the Brooks family?

How could she handle Vivienne?

She took a deep breath, tried to regain her composure, and lifted her hand to catch up with Vivienne’s rhythm.

However, although she managed to keep up with the first note, she struggled a lot with everything else.

Vivienne seemed to be pressing her down, and she felt weaker and weaker as she played. She even made another mistake in the middle of the piece

When the piece ended, Mila felt as if she were soaked in sweat

She didn’t even have a bit of strength left

Vivienne stood up and looked down at her from a superior position “Mila, your piano skills need more practice. As for becoming the matriarch, you might as well forget that You’d need to practice for a hundred years just to be considered

Mila felt even more shame now.

Although everyone knew she wanted to marry Scott, no one had ever spoken about it openly.

Vivienne not only brought it up in public but also used her piano skills to make her lose dignity.

Was she telling her not to dream of becoming the matriarch of the Brooks family?
