The dignified presence of the woman filled the atmosphere.
Sisley hurriedly greeted her. “Hello, Ms. Canter, it's been a long time.”
“Mrs. Chapman.” Mary nodded gracefully at her.
In the past, Sisley had been the type of royalty that Mary had to show respect to. Things have changed since then.
Mary Canter was now officially the daughter of an Earl, and her younger brother was the Piano Prince, who was highly respected in the music industry.
Now, even Hera has to rely on the recommendation of my brother.
As these thoughts came to Mary's mind, she could not help the look of disdain that flashed across her eyes.
When she was entering the venue earlier, she heard a few spectators whispering, “I heard that your uncle has managed to invite the president of the piano association to attend the piano competition, is that right?”
These words added to her feelings of pride.
It is indeed great to have a good family background!
“It seems so. My Uncle Ryan always kept a low profile, so I don't really know.” Penelope had replied shyly but there was no hiding the smug smile on her lips.
Observing everything from the side, Sisley felt fury surging through her.
This mother and daughter were nothing but lowly wenches that lived in Lake City. It's all thanks to a twist of fate that allowed one of them to become the Earl's daughter, and the other the granddaughter of the Earl. And yet, they had the audacity to look down on me?
If it wasn't for the fact that Hera needed to have a good ranking in the competition, Sisley would never bow down to them. After all, she was the lady of the Chapman family.
She knew that at Hera's level, there was no way she would have passed the rematch. In the end, it was thanks to Mary's connections that helped her pass. Fortunately, during the rematch, Ashlyn did not come to judge for some unknown reason.

The other two members of the judging committee had given Hera her passing marks but Ryan did not.
Sisley was puzzled why Ryan gave a low grade even though she had spent a lot of money.
Unbeknownst to her, it was because Ryan had no idea about the bribery.
In truth, Ryan was an honest man with traditional values despite his flashy appearance. He was a very strict and disciplined person.
