A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 110

Janice's voice was firm, unwavering.

The piano was her mother's life. It meant everything to her.

However, a scheming glint flickered in Felicia's eyes. "That's not necessarily true. You said it yourself, Janice. Ms. Anderson has always had a soft spot for Sierra. What if she caves in again? She used to focus more on Sierra than on you."

That last sentence was like a needle stabbing deep into Janice's heart, causing her expression to darken.

That wound, which never fully healed, suddenly throbbed again, leaving her in doubt.

"Then, what should I do?"

Felicia had been waiting for Janice to ask that. Her eyes brightened as she answered, "The Marisol Cup receives lots of media attention yearly If people find out that one of the contestants is Mr. Benson's girlfriend, they'll start questioning whether the winner was decided in advance.

"For those of us who have spent years perfecting our piano skills, that would feel completely unfair. There's no doubt people will push back against Sierra. If she even thinks about winning through connections, it will be a brutal backlash."

Janice hesitated, her expression flickering with uncertainty. "But… isn't that going overboard?"

Grabbing Janice's hand with a sincere expression, Felicia mentioned, "Janice, do you want to watch Sierra win the championship from the sideline because of her connections?

"We've all worked so hard to prepare for this competition. Why should Sierra, who hasn't touched a piano in three years, just walk in and take the title without lifting a finger? If she wins, Ms. Anderson will value her even more, and you'll just end up being overlooked again."

That word—overlooked—struck a nerve, resulting in Janice twitching her fingers.

Seeing her reaction, Felicia pressed on.
