This time, she must make Jenna notorious in the international piano circle and show everyone her true colors. Let's see how Jenna'll pretend to be innocent with that pure face of hers.
Mrs. Ritter has always held a grudge against Jenna, believing that Sylvia refused to take Ashlyn as a student because Jenna spoke ill of her daughter and interfered.
The Graley Piano Competition is important for almost every musician and is considered a heavyweight international award. If they fail, they will become the laughingstock of the music world.
It would directly block Jenna's piano career. She became famous as a teenager, winning first place in the piano competition and receiving much attention.
Mrs. Ritter was extremely jealous, thinking that it wasn't due to her own talent but rather because Sylvia had good guidance. That's why she wanted to send her daughter to study under Sylvia as well.
Then when the winner of the piano competition turns out to be an incompetent composer who insists on participating in competitions...
Mrs. Ritter even thought about what headlines she could use at that time.
She was just waiting for Jenna to fall short at Graley Piano Competition's live performance venue so Mrs. Ritter could feel more comfortable inside.
A little slut who wants to show off in front of her? Does she really think The Ritter family is nothing?
Jenna's head buzzed with noise while an impulse rose from deep within wanting desperately escape this situation but no... she couldn't do it... she knew it wouldn't work...
When she walked out of the Piano Association half an hour later feeling lost and disoriented, Ashlyn followed closely behind, mocking, "Miss Shepherd, what kind of expression is that? You look like you've been hit hard or something! Oh my goodness I have some friendly advice - It looks like snow is coming soon, so hurry up and go home."
The sky was gloomy; it looked like snow was really coming soon with cold winds blowing fiercely causing pain all over their bodies
Jenna turned pale; feeling uncomfortable almost suffocatingly.
"Why are you ignoring me? That's too much! Do you think you're cool just because you're going participate in Graley Piano Competition?" Ashlyn pushed Jenna without warning
The girl fell down unexpectedly onto the ground scraping her hand on impact making small sounds from pain escaping through gritted teeth.
She instinctively looked down at her hand only seeing blood seeping out from where skin had been scraped off
Biting back tears while glaring angrily at Ashlyn "Why did you push me!"
Ashlyn looked down at her with an arrogant posture. "You accidentally fell, and you still want to blame me?"
Jenna gritted her teeth in anger.
"Jenna!" Just then, a car pulled up to the association building's entrance. A tall man stepped out of the car and quickly walked over to Jenna, helping her up from the ground.
"How are you?" Brayden held onto her as she breathed lightly against his neck like a feather scratching him.
His deep eyes seemed bottomless, but when he saw Jenna's bleeding hand, a flash of anger passed through them.
"I'm fine. Let's go." Jenna whispered softly.
Why was Brayden here? She didn't want him getting into trouble because of her altercation with Ashlyn.
"Your hand is bleeding; how can you be fine?" Brayden stood like a wall in front of Ashlyn, towering over her by more than a head height. He glared at her mercilessly and said, "Miss Ritter, next time you bully someone, I hope you can see your target clearly."
Ashlyn felt uncomfortable inside as she suppressed the fire within herself. "Are you guys trying to scam me?"
Last night she had eavesdropped on Mrs. Ritter and Donovan talking about how deeply rooted the Ritter family was - even if Cody got promoted, they wouldn't be afraid.
So today Mrs. Ritter humiliated Jenna.
Since Ashlyn had support from her mother, she naturally wanted to step on Jenna too.
She wanted nothing more than crushing anyone related to Sylvia underfoot - when Sylvia and Franklin bullied Ashlyn in the mall that day, it left an indelible impression on Ashlyn's mind
In this office building where there were not only members of the piano association but also many white-collar workers from other companies coming back-and-forth frequently attracting quite some attention soon enough.
Jenna's face turned gloomy; originally feeling extremely bad now being watched by so many people due to this small matter made it unbearable for her - She couldn't help but shrink into Brayden's arms, "Brayden, let's go home."
Brayden glared irritably at Ashlyn. His precious girl who he protected every day being humiliated by such a despicable woman was touching his bottom line!
He grabbed hold of Ashylnn's neck tightly warning. "I warn you. If you ever again dare bully my sister, you'll face the music!"
"You!" Her face turned red with anger as she struggled against him just then Braydon threw one arm out flinging Ashlyn onto the ground!
She was wearing high heels, and being in such a messy state on the ground made her feel both embarrassed and angry. And it hurt too! She rubbed her long manicured fingers against the ground, breaking several of them. The pain made her grit her teeth, unable to manage her expression.
"Ah, these are my new nails."
"Miss Ritter, do you know why you can't play the piano well?" Jenna walked up to Ashlyn and looked at her broken fingers. "Because... you use too many fancy things. Which outstanding pianist would make such complicated nails with their hands? It affects your touch too much."
