My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 667

Chapter 667

Ashlyn Berry! Madeline Saunders! That's her in the flesh! Oh, my goodness!

Olivia's lips began to tremble. For some reason, she didn't want Ashlyn to look down on her.

Seconds later, Olivia regained her composure and sat down at the piano.

With both her hands on the keys, a rich and smooth melody soon followed.

As soon as the piece ended, Olivia couldn't help but stare nervously at the judges.

Ashlyn was the first to give a score of seven point five.

The other judges, too, gave Olivia a score of either seven or eight.

That might not be anything to boast about, but her score wasn't low either.

If Ashlyn had given a low score, Olivia's initial plan was to file a complaint against her for abusing her power to avenge personal grudges.

To her surprise, Ashlyn's scoring was fair and sensible.

Olivia was still trying to make sense of the situation when Ashlyn's crisp, cold voice rang out.

“Your performance style is pretty good and expressive. My only wish is that you had picked a song that suited you more. If you don't think you can showcase your skills through a difficult song, pick something easier that gives you a chance to shine. You can also remind yourself to slow down when you're playing. It's normal to feel nervous when you're on stage, and your playing speed inadvertently increases along with your heartbeat. Therefore, if you don't make a conscious effort to slow yourself down, you'd only become more prone to making mistakes. Don't fall into that vicious cycle.”

Olivia's eyes widened as she listened intently.

Ashlyn's advice was professional and pertinent, and she had carefully dissected Olivia's strengths and weaknesses.

After hearing all that, Olivia felt a moment of clarity and enlightenment.

Madeline Saunders, huh? She truly has lived up to her reputation.

“Thank you,” Olivia said before taking a bow and going offstage.

Hera, who had gone to sit with her family in the auditorium, glared at Olivia in annoyance.

When her performance ended earlier, Ashlyn neither commented nor paid much attention to her.
