The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 187

The audience was buzzing with excitement.

"Wow, that was incredible! I never expected Ms. Pearce to be such a virtuoso on the violin!"

"Her skills on that violin are way beyond the teacher we hired for my kid!"

"I have a friend who's a top-notch violinist in the industry, but Ms. Pearce's talent surpasses even half of what she can do."

"No wonder Haynes treasures her so much. Whenever he's tired or in a bad mood, listening to her play is simply refreshing."

The judges were unanimous, awarding her a stellar score of 99.9!

Why not a perfect hundred? Well, there's still Keen to consider.

Rachel's performance deserved full marks, but next to Rachel, Keen's performance seemed a bit overshadowed. Since it was a duet, deducting 0.1 was still a nod to Keen's contribution.

Rachel and Keen rocketed to the top of the leaderboard.

Rachel was pleased with her performance. Holding Keen's hand, they took a bow, a confident smile playing on her lips as they stepped off the stage and rejoined the audience.

Jasper gave Rachel a thumbs up, "Brilliant! Everyone's enchanted by your playing. When Stella takes the stage, no one will pay attention to her!"

Suddenly, he remembered something and whipped out his phone to start a live stream.

"Stella, you think you're all that? Just wait till the whole world sees you flop!"

…

Sure enough, just as Jasper predicted.

Even as the stage lights dimmed, the chatter amongst the audience didn't die down.

Even when the lights came back on and Stella and Marvin appeared on stage, everyone's attention was still on Rachel.
