My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 732

Chapter 732

Seated with the rest of the judging committee, Ashlyn suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes looking at her from a distance.

She looked up and caught Lucas' deep eyes falling upon her.

Glancing away quickly to placate her accelerating heartbeat, Ashlyn's gaze landed on Hera again just as the other four judges had decided upon their scores.

After the host reported her average score, Hera felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.

Good thing that it wasn't averaged out over five. Only four judges should improve my odds.

Caleb's voice sounded again. “Your skills are very good, but you are too technical. We couldn't feel your passion for the piano. Being too stiff will prevent you from really throwing yourself in and becoming one with the piano.”

Ryan added after allowing space for applause, “Well said, Mr. Powell. I have nothing else to add, except that I hope you'll act with more decency in the future.”

How humiliating that was to have the flaws in your character pointed out in public like that!

Seated with the rest of the audience, Sisley's face turned pale with anger.

“Mr. Yates is clearly aware of the relationship between us. So Why would he say something like that, Ms. Canter?”

Mary froze for a moment as she did not dare say Ryan did not know Hera at all. “My brother is a straightforward person,” she said with deliberate vagueness after a pause. “All artists are inherently bad-tempered.”

A male contestant took the stage after Hera. His scores were mediocre, and certainly not as high as hers.

Olivia was next. Throughout her wait, Charlotte stayed with her the entire time.

Olivia was next. Throughout her wait, Charlotte stayed with her the entire time.

The two of them have hitherto remained silent since Ashlyn left.

The inexplicable atmosphere laced with awkwardness only fueled Charlotte to zip her mouth shut.

Being usually at a loss for words as she was, she found herself even more so when she needs them the most.

Olivia was also rather awkward. She suddenly felt very stupid upon recollecting that she used to like Lochlan and hate Charlotte.

Even more so, when I compare myself to Ashlyn. I have been a fool in the past. In fact, I'm not so different from women like Hera.
