The mother and daughter pair never expected an outcome like this.
Penelope's face was flushed red from the humiliation, and her fingers gripped her sleeves tightly. She wished she could've hidden her face then.
Mary was embarrassed too.
The more ashamed she was, the more she grew jealous of Ashlyn. Why is Ashlyn on the receiving end of everything good?
Why do Penelope and I have to work so hard to even get some recognition from the Court's Mansion while Ashlyn becomes the heir of the president of the Piano Association just like that?
I schemed and plotted for my daughter's sake, but even Ryan the Piano Prince couldn't be compared to Ashlyn in the end?
Mary was going crazy.
Lucas sat at the very front, watching the debacle with disdain.
Well, I guess Mr. Powell does indeed have a good taste to choose Ashlyn as his heir.
With a glance at Ashlyn, he finally understood why his main personality loved her so deeply.
Netizen watching the competition via the broadcasting platform was stunned at the turn of events.
They began to share the news on Twitter.
“Oh my gosh! Ashlyn is Mr. Powell's heir!”
“It's unbelievable that H Nation could have such an amazing heir.”
“Say, didn't Penelope say her uncle will be the heir?”
“Even though her uncle is handsome, I still like Ashlyn more.”
“She's so awesome!”
The audience at the scene was staring at the stage with wide eyes.
Hera was still stunned. President... Ashley is going to be the future president?
At that moment, she felt the gap between her and Ashlyn had turned into a gulf.
She felt like a clown still rooted in place while Ashlyn was already someone others looked to for inspiration.
Olivia wrapped her arms around Charlotte excitedly. “That's great! My idol will become the president's heir!”
Charlotte pushed her away shyly. “Don't hug me so tightly.”
Her chest was feeling stuffy from the woman's steely grip.
The rejection was like a bucket of cold water dumped over Olivia's head. Quickly snapping out of her joy, she spoke in an awkward yet arrogant tone. “Hmmph! Do you think I wanted to hug you? You're skinny as a bean pole.”
Fae reached for James' hand excitedly. “Ashlyn is always giving us surprises.”
James patted her hand gently. “Well, she deserves it.”
He added after a brief silence, “Lottie deserves everything too.”
