"I won't speak in riddles." Mrs. Ritter laughed elegantly, but her upturned eyes revealed a haughty indifference. "My daughter Ashlyn Ritter was accepted into film school this year, but she previously majored in piano. Despite hiring countless teachers over the years, her piano skills have not improved much."
"So... you want..." Jenna's lips trembled, but she didn't finish her sentence.
"Yes, I want Master Keturah to teach her and become her mentor," Mrs. Ritter scanned Brayden and Jenna up and down. "So if you can help me make this happen, I will use the influence of the Ritter family to save Cody's life. What do you think?"
Jenna's heart was pounding. She spoke in an undertone, "But Master Keturah doesn't easily take on students."
"That's why you need to talk to her," Mrs. Ritter smiled again. "It's just about trading favors. "For Master Keturah, it is just taking on a student. For me, it is just using the power of the Ritter family."
"If you can't make it happen, no one could save Cody's life," Mrs. Ritter sneered at them.
For Mrs. Ritter, they were from a small town, and she wouldn't have met them personally if they hadn't had connections with Master Keturah.
"Mrs. Ritter... I..." Jenna bit her lip."I don't want to use Master Keturah for my own benefit. Can you make another offer?"
Mrs. Riter curled up a mocking smile as if hearing a big joke, "Human interaction is all about mutual benefit, isn't it?"
"But Master Keturah has never used me... or Brayden or Mrs. Wright..." Jenna knew that what she thought was naive. But she didn't want to lose Sylvia's trust. Sylvia had believed in and loved her beyond what any relative could offer. If Jenna used Sylvia, Sylvia would be sad...
She also didn't want to disappoint Sylvia. Sylvia had been so good to her. How could she have the heart to make use of Sylvia?
"Miss Shepherd, I advise you not to refuse me outright," Mrs. Ritter lazily glanced at her. It was rare to see such a naive girl being protected so well these days.
In Mrs. Ritter's eyes, Jenna was no different from an idiot at this moment.
Jenna wanted to say something more but was pulled back by Brayden.
She bit her lip and lowered her head in resignation.
