After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities novel Chapter 795

Chapter 795

When Sylvia heard the host announce that contestants had to play two pieces, she knew Mrs. Ritter would try something sneaky with them. And sure enough, she was right. Mrs. Ritter switched the order of the two pieces and planned to blame it on the staff or whoever arranged them in that order.

Sylvia was angry and so were others who noticed what happened. If Jenna played the first piece now, she would make a mistake and get zero points for it. Sylvia stared at Jenna intensely, hoping she wouldn't mess up.

It was like being a model on a runway and having to improvise when things go wrong.

Mrs. Ritter sat smugly in her seat below, thinking no one could anticipate such an error happening during this world-class competition! Jenna wouldn't be able to react quickly enough and would play Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 as planned.

Ashlyn joined her mother's side looking pleased with herself but whispered quietly into Mrs. Ritter's ear "Mom, how did you even keep this from me?"

"If you knew about it, what good would that do? The best way to defeat your enemy is by striking hard." Mrs. Ritter replied patting Ashlyn's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, my dear; you're going to win."

But just as they were both feeling smug about their plan, something unexpected happened on stage: instead of being shocked or confused by what happened earlier, Jenna remained calm and placed her hands gracefully onto black-and-white keys before playing Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini flawlessly!

She had figured out their plan! She reacted quickly without playing Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 1 as expected!

The coordination between her onstage performance with those offstage musicians was seamless!

Mrs. Ritter felt like someone had punched her heart hard - how could this be possible? How could Jenna have been so quick-witted? Had she reached such an incredible level of proficiency with these two pieces including understanding piano comprehension?

Ashlyn's face turned pale "How is this even possible?"

In this situation, Jenna was able to react perfectly? Handle it flawlessly? She thought that if she encountered such a situation herself, she would have panicked long ago.

Mr. Guzman was originally somewhat maliciously happy about the situation and contributed to it. However, he did not expect that Jenna's talent was so good that she could perfectly resolve this crisis. His eyes were gloomy with a hint of resentment - why did such a good talent have to be entangled with Sylvia? Her talent was much better than the disciple he had planned to accept.

When Sylvia heard the sound of the piano music, her heart slowly settled down.

She sat back down and relaxed her expression on her face. Franklin quietly glanced at her with deep eyes filled with doubt, "What just happened?"

She looked strange.

Sylvia hooked her lips and said, "I'll tell you guys after Jenna finishes performing."

Brayden also felt very strange - Jenna's expression just now was also very weird.

What happened exactly?

These laypeople couldn't tell what had happened but Sylvia immediately knew what had occurred.

After Jenna smoothly played all of the pieces, Mr. Guzman's face turned extremely unpleasant.

This talented player had made him think about other plans in his mind.

Clare and Louis both noticed the variation in the beginning of the piece since each judge held a list of songs each contestant would play beforehand.

Louis smiled slightly as admiration flashed through his eyes: "Indeed my student has trained an excellent player." He gave high marks directly without hesitation

Clare already had great favor towards Sylvia; now she praised without reservation. "Very impressive! Excellent improvisation skills and great playing! Almost perfect!" He gave high marks too

The other judges naturally understood what kind of crisis Jenna faced just now. Seeing how perfectly she resolved it they all praised endlessly giving high scores too

Finally, only Mr. Guzman remained sitting there. His face looked terrible.

The host smiled and asked, "Mr. Guzman, do you have anything you want to say to contestant Jenna?"

This is actually urging Mr. Guzman to hurry up and score because once he finished scoring who will become champion will be revealed immediately

However, Mr. Guzman's eyes flashed with a hint of menace as he stared coldly at Jenna. He gripped the microphone and said, "Miss Shepherd's performance was stunning, and it has made me appreciate her talent. As you all know, I don't have any disciples, so... I have a question for Miss Shepherd."

Mr. Guzman's words immediately caused a stir.

Mrs. Ritter clenched her teeth in anger as she heard the underlying meaning in Mr. Guzman's words.

Is Mr. Guzman trying to...

No, this can't be happening!

She had worked so hard and spent so much money to secure a place for Ashlyn as his disciple. With him as her mentor, Ashlyn would have a strong support system and expand her network.

Was all her effort and investment going to go to waste?

Ashlyn grew anxious and said, "Mom, what does Mr. Guzman mean?"

Could it be that he no longer sees any value in her?
