From Divorce To Dominance novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64
Under everyone’s stare. Natalie stepped forward slowly. Without previous casualty, she looked very serious.
Kind of surprised, Susan thought Natalie was being nervous and thus comforted her, “Take it easy. It’s merely an audition. You just need to follow my piano notes and raise your pitch. Sing as high as you can, but no need to force yourself. Everyone has a different vocal range, so relax. Ready to start?”
Natalie nodded gravely as if becoming more nervous. Susan was speechless with her lips slightly twitching.
It was the first time that Natalie had been so serious since the recording of Sweet Love, which made Susan a bit unaccustomed.
The audience in the live stream also noticed Natalie’s reaction, but they just thought she was about to amaze them.
Comment one: [Look forward to Nat’s singing. Look, she’s so serious. It means she’s gonna wow us with her voice!]
Comment two: [Everyone, get ready to be impressed! A master singer is going to sing!]
An anti-fan of Natalie commented: [Can Natalie’s fans stop hyping? What if she goes off-key later? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for you?]
[Shut your mouth, you keyboard warrior. Didn’t you sense Nat’s confidence? This is definitely an amazing performance!]
As the audience was discussing lively, Susan started playing the piano, still from the low to high notes. Natalie took a deep breath and sang to the piano notes.
Susan could tell that Natalie had a good voice in daily life, but she’d never expected that she was so talented. Her bass, rich and soft, had a unique quality that surpassed most female singers she knew.
Generally, women could easily hit the high notes, but a female singer who excelled at low notes was rare.
Susan felt excited and thought she’d dug up a treasure. She couldn’t help straightening her back and tting upright. Then, five minutes later, she was shocked again-Natalie easily reached C2!
Unable to keep her calm expression anymore, Susan quickly ran her fingers from C2 to B6 and then from B3 to C6. To her astonishment, Natalie sang effortlessly and seemed able to go on. Everyone in the practice room was holding their breath, and the real-time comments on the screen also decreased.
Unaware of the shock she brought about, Natalie sang continually from D6 to E6. Everyone was guessing where she would. stop. At last, she nailed F6! Although her voice was on the verge of cracking, she indeed made that pitch.
Natalie’s vocal range spanned from C3 to F6, three octaves and five notes!
Susan stopped her hands on the piano and looked at Natalie with disbelief and excitement, her eyes shining brightly. Is this what people call a talent from heaven? Natalie is a true all-rounder in bass, alto, and high notes!” she thought
With such great talent, as long as she opened her mouth, she could easily reach the high note that others might never
achieve in their lifetimes.
Susan didn’t believe in the existence of all-rounders in the past, but after seeing Natalie, she had to admit that there was an unbridgeable gap between geniuses and the ordinary.
With her heart pounding fast, Susan applauded first. The others in the room seemed to be awakened and began clapping. Rather than feeling jealous, they were now full of respect for Natalie after witnessing her performance just now. She had a

Susan composed herself and said, “Okay, time to assign different parts of this song. Since Natalie can hit F6, the five highest chorus lines will go to her. Natalie, any issues with this?”
Natalie kept a serious face and shook her head even more seriously, “Nope, I can handle the high notes.”
Seeing her solemn face, Susan found her more adorable. She smiled and quickly assigned the remaining lyrics to other team members. Then the practice started.
Since Natalie’s part was the most uplifting as well as her genius image was deeply ingrained in everyone’s heart, Susan looked at her and said. “Natalie, you sing first to set a good example for us, please.”
Natalie clenched her fists and began singing her part. Her voice was bright and full, giving her an edge in acapella. As soon as she sang the first line, the screen was flooded with comments expressing astonishment.
Given her first line was so steady, Susan was about to call it off, yer Natalie already began the second line. Susan thought she could let her finish. Anyway, listening to such a beautiful voice was truly a pleasure. A few seconds later, her expression changed and her gaze fell on Natalie in confusion.
“Excuse me? Is she really in tune? The third line was totally off-key and not a single note was on pitch, Susan frowned and thought in surprise. If it weren’t for the matching lyrics, she’d almost think that it was Natalie’s impromptu composition.
Uh, how could this happen?’ Susan thought with her lips slightly twitching. Although one cannot be judged as tone deaf via an audition, it’s still… too absurd. Susan looked at the same surprise on her team members’ faces and couldn’t help covering her mouth.
Natalie’s voice was undoubtedly beautiful, but she was completely off-key as she sang the latter part. Her singing was like devil’s murmurs lingering in the room, making everyone forget the original tune of this song. Just as Susan was about to call for a stop, she saw Natalie still immersed in singing with her eyes closed. ‘Okay, forget it, she thought speechlessly.
Though Susan said nothing, the screen was already overspread with comments.
[Oh, my, lol, I’m really shocked, okay? This is HILARIOUS!]
[Oh babe, please shut your mouth. Hey, who else wants to team up with me and go to shut Nat up?]
[I’m
her hardcore fan, but this time I can’t take her side. I feel my soul leaving my body hearing her singing.]
[Nat, don’t sing. We’re your fans, not your enemies!]
[I can’t take it anymore, we need to find a way to mute her!]
[I can’t stop laughing! Why is Nat so cute? Does she not realize she’s off-key? Look how absorbed she is.]
My internet sis and bro, I’ve already muted it! Am I smart?]
[Same here! As long as I can’t hear, Nat is still my lovely girl.]
[Now Susan probably dare not let her sing in the next five hundred years. It’s a nightmare!]
Natalie’s part contained five lines. Except for the first line, the left four lines were completely not in tune. After finishing, Natalie slowly opened her eyes and looked at Susan expectantly “How do you like that?”
Susan felt torn inside and answered in a more polite way, “I think five lines are too many. How about you just sing the first line?”
