Would her reputation be destroyed.
She didn't want it, she really didn't.
She was going to become a top pianist. She couldn't be Master Keturah's student, but Mrs. Ritter had contacted Mr. Guzman, a famous music professor at Berklee School of Music abroad, and asked him to take her as his apprentice.
Internationally speaking, the top pianists were Louis first and then Master Keturah and Mr. Guzman.
Mr. Guzman was just as famous as Master Keturah but the latter was more than ten years younger.
Mr. Guzman was also very picky about taking on apprentices and did not easily accept them.
It took Mrs. Ritter a lot of money and connections to convince Mr. Guzman to accept her as his apprentice.
All she had to do now was win the Graley Piano Competition so that Mr. Guzman would announce that he would take her on as an apprentice and send out another press release...
Then she would definitely have a place in the international piano world.
"If that old lady could come forward and testify that you didn't bully or humiliate her, there might still be some hope for this situation," Donovan said irritably. "You're really causing me trouble with this. What's the point of messing around with an old lady? You've turned it into such a mess."
"But... where can we find that old lady?" Ashlyn pouted in frustration. She'd had enough of this nonsense. As the daughter of the Ritter family, she couldn't even argue with an old woman like this?
People like that weren't even worth talking to.
"I saw on Twitter earlier that there wasn't actually any footage of the old lady's face? It seemed like it had been blurred out?" Mrs. Ritter frowned. "I'll look into it again."
Sure enough, the video showed only blurred images where the old woman's face should have been, but Ashlyn's face was crystal clear. Mrs. Ritter got angrier every time she watched it.
"I never thought Cody would go so far. He even managed to dig up footage like this."
Suddenly, Ashlyn remembered what Franklin had said earlier. "Can they not dig up anything? That mall belongs to Maskelyne Group."
"Forget about it. Since they dared attack you, don't blame me for being impolite," Donovan slammed his hand down on table angrily.
"Do they think my family is easy prey? They're ruining my daughter's reputation. Those bumpkins from small places like Larro dare challenge my family?"
"Donovan, do you have any good ideas?" Mrs. Ritter quickly turned to her husband. "Our daughter is being criticized all over the internet. We need to come up with a good whitewashing method and marketing plan, especially now that the Graley Piano Competition is about to start. We can't make any mistakes, our daughter has to win first place this year."
The Graley Piano Competition was unlike any other small competition.
It was not only the largest music competition internationally but also covered all music awards, whether it be piano, violin, songwriting or even singing and popular music and folk... all kinds of things related to music were selected.
The Graley Piano Competition was held every two years for a week with various competitions held in different venues.
Audiences who came to watch the competition were mostly music lovers or musicians from around the world.
The final award ceremony was always packed every time it was held.
If Ashlyn could win first place in the piano competition project at such an internationally significant event like this one then she would become famous worldwide.
Mrs. Ritter couldn't let anyone ruin Ashlyn's career.
Now public opinion in the country regarding Ashlyn's popularity and reputation among ordinary people was extremely unfavorable.
She trembled with anger.
"Cody, Franklin, Sylvia! They're just too much."
"Honey, don't worry yet. Let me think of something," Donovan said with a gloomy face. "Isn't it just an old lady? The old lady whose face has been blurred out; ha-ha, that old lady doesn't even know them personally, so why don't we do this..."
He whispered something into Mrs. Ritter's ear.
Mrs. Ritter couldn't help but nod her head repeatedly saying, "not bad", before finally agreeing on what they would do next day morning..
Cody's condition had improved enough for him to be discharged from hospital after Brayden completed his discharge procedures. Some Urgford bigwigs heard he was going home so they rushed over asking about his health status .
This made the Wright family feel grateful but they refused all gifts because these gifts were too expensive.
Mrs. Wright didn't want people talking behind their backs about Cody.
After leaving hospital, the car drove smoothly towards government offices without incident.
The President had allocated them a set of houses in the courtyard, small Western-style buildings with two floors. The houses were mostly identical, although they were slightly larger than the one they had in Larro. Everything was much better equipped here in Urgford.
