Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

The first on stage was a cute round–faced girl named Giselle. 

She had chosen a Level 6 piece, “Alternating Thirds,” which was unremarkable. It wasn’t special, but she performed without 

mistakes 

Zion gave Giselle a score of seven and gave her some encouraging words.. 

Giselle knew she didn’t have much chance of winning, so she left the stage cheerfully upon Zion’s encouragement. 

Subsequently, contestants performed one after another, but most chose Level 5 or Level 6 pieces. Only one girl from the” chemistry department attempted a Level 7 piece and upon watching her performance, Zion didn’t hold back his praise 

Given everyone knew the highlight today wasn’t these performers, they all appeared disinterested. Ultimately, they knew the highlights were Yvette and Ruby. 

After all. Ruby was recognized as Argrol University’s best pianist and had the most advanced piano grade among the contestants. She already reached Level 8. 

Meanwhile–Yvette, who came from the countryside, had only been at Argrol University for just over a month. Although she won a Frixyian contest, and everyone acknowledged her intelligence, this was a piano competition–all competing students had been learning to play the piano since young. 

Everyone knew one couldn’t excel at piano simply by having a photographic memory. Piano required years of consistency. ongoing practice, and continual practice. Even if Yvette was smart and talented, there was no way she could master the piano in a few days. 

Even if Yvette had learned some basics, she wouldn’t compare to them, let alone Ruby, who had already passed Level 8. 

The outcome was obvious. 

After three full hours, the majority of Argrol University students couldn’t sit still any longer. Even Andrew and Bonnie felt their backsides grow sore from sitting for so long. 

Meanwhile, Sawyer grew completely disinterested after watching a few performances, and when Zion wasn’t looking, he sneakily glanced elsewhere and daydreamed. 

Simon and Jaiden were older, thus sitting for such a long time was hard on them. However, it wasn’t appropriate for either of them to leave earlier in this event, so they just sat there idly and chatted occasionally to pass the tire.. 

Rebecca wanted to put down her ego and speak to Zachary, but he didn’t spare her a glance. Moreover, with so many watching, she knew she couldn’t force a conversation, or it could disgrace the Carter family. 

Zachary and Nellie were fine overall. However, Nellie persevered out of sheer willpower to see Yvette embarrass herself Her back pain was excruciating, but she had to maintain her image as a dignified lady, so she forced herself to maintain her posture. 

The only ones who were comfortable there were Zion and Yvette. 

Zion carefully critiqued each contestant’s performance, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses with precise comments, and offered them appropriate advice. 

Except for a few sips of water, he had barely moved because he knew everyone could see his every action. 

Everyone’s regard for Zion rose considerably at his dedication. It was no wonder he was Clusia’s most outstanding pianist. His serious and responsible attitude alone deserved admiration and respect.

Chapter 89 

Π 

Knowing Yvette was participating in the piano competition today, Andrew came to support her, hoping his presence would help her stay relaxed and calm. 

However, when Andrew turned, he saw Yvette leisurely leaning back in her chair, bouncing her foot with her legs crossed. 

An incredulous expression appeared on Andrew’s face as he thought, ‘Huh. I was worried for nothing. She doesn’t look nervous at all. Hah! I might be more anxious about the competition than she is. How funny 

Andrew’s gaze was so focused on Yvette that she opened her eyes, rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and shot him an indifferent look. “What’s up?” 

Andrew really wanted to shout. Yeah, something up! Something big is happening. Can’t you see there are only two more contestants before Ruby’s tum? After Ruby, you’re next! he exclaimed internally. 

He wanted to ask where she got her confidence but instead, he questioned, “It’s almost your turn. Aren’t you going backstage to prepare Then, he glanced at Yvette’s outfit. “Where’s your dress! If you don’t change soon, you won’t have enough time.” 

Yvette narrowed her eyes and then lifted an eyebrow. She declared nonchalantly, I don’t have one.” 

Andrew had just picked up his water for a sip when his hand froze mid–air. “Are you saying you didn’t even prepare a dress?” 

Yvette nodded. 

Andrew put down the glass and briefly wondered about the success rate of simply taking off with Yvette now. He pondered, This is ridiculous. Yvette never even prepared a dress. Is she really just going to perform in black sportswear! 

Amazing music would be wasted. All the performers earlier wore carefully selected attire and looked stunning and elegant. 

Pfft. You’d think anyone who can spend 100 million dollars like that could afford a dress. There’s only one explanation- Yvette never intended to wear one. Andrew sighed and wondered. Why’s my life so difficult? How did I end up mingling with eccentrics like Jeremiah and Yvette? 

There is nothing we can do now. It’d be futile to say anything more. All I hope is Yvette won’t lose too badly. With me here, surely Ruby wouldn’t dare to misbehave, right?” 

Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for had arrived. 

All other contestants had finished performing. Now only Yvette and Ruby were left. 

The entire audience suddenly livened up, as if they had just been revived. Those who were dozing woke up, sneaky snackers stopped eating, and those chatting quietly stopped talking. 

Almost everyone had waited three hours for this. Even the students peeking in from outside sat in their seats with anticipation. 

Just like everyone inside, they might not have known what happened before the event, but Yvette’s reputation at Argeol University was no joke. 

The showdown between Yvette and the student council president Ruby was highly anticipated; no one wanted to miss it. 

From backstage, Ruby walked onto the stage with a powerful aura once the host finished announcing. There were no signs. of her earlier embarrassment. 

In those past few hours, Ruby had already rewired her mindset. 

Ruby firmly believed that as long as she won today’s competition, no one would care about what happened before. Once she won, whenever people talked about her and Yvette, they’d only mention that she beat her. 

Ruby glanced briefly at the few people in the front who had stood up for Yvette earlier and scoffed inwardly thinking, Pift

Chapter 891 

No matter how many people speak up for Yvette, this competition is judged based on skill. 

With so many people watching. Yvette wasn’t worried Zion would be biased toward Yvette. Unless he wanted to destroy his reputation and cheat openly, she was sure she would win today’s competition.. 

Ruby’s piece of choice for today’s competition was “Dream” by Bryan Brooks
