A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 215

But it wasn't just fame—it was infamy.

"Breaking: Marisol Cup Rigged!"

"Competition Finalist is the Sponsor's Girlfriend—Champion Already Decided!"

Two eye-catching headlines appeared before Sierra's eyes, and a look of confusion flickered across her beautiful eyes. Her delicate brows furrowed slowly as she continued scrolling, noticing that there were already tens of thousands of comments.

When she clicked to read them, she found they were all filled with criticism.

"Even the Marisol Cup is rigged? Is there anything left in this world we can trust?"

"Classic rich people flexing their power to impress a woman. Meanwhile, we work our asses off for this honor. Where's the fairness in that?"

"I know Sierra. We used to go to the same campus. I won't deny she's insanely talented at piano—our teachers even called her a prodigy. But she's also completely obsessed with romance. She straight-up quit piano just to date Benson. Her teacher was so pissed she ended up in the hospital. Now she suddenly wants back in?"

"As a student at our campus, I can confirm Sierra's back. But she hasn't played in years, so there's no way she's as good as before. Plus, there are plenty of other amazing pianists now. Winning won't be that easy for her."

"None of that matters. Her boyfriend is Benson. Do you know how powerful the Gray family is? Getting a championship title for his girl is probably a walk in the park. You other participants might as well accept your fate. No matter how good you are, you can't compete with someone who has connections."

"I heard her play recently at school, and trust me, it was garbage—nowhere near what she used to be. She only picked piano back up because she and Benson had a falling out. But let's be real—he's been sending her flowers and gifts non-stop. They're probably back together already. A lot of people know about it. Ask around if you don't believe me."

"I can confirm that."

"Same here."

"This whole thing is just a rich people's love game. The rest of you are just their entertainment."

"Forget about her skills—this woman's got serious tactics. Wrapping a rich heir around her little finger like that? Impressive. Anyone got a picture? I want to see what she looks like."
