The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 

From the audience, Attlee and Olga stood up abruptly, “What’s going on?” 

Even Zachary was dumbstruck, couldn’t believe that the usually kind and friendly President Jasmine would say such words! 

“What do you mean by that, President Jasmine?” The host asked with a smile, “Are you suggesting that Yolanda could rank higher after listening to her performance?” 

Upon hearing this, the audience, who initially thought there was an issue with Yolanda’s piece, breathed a sigh of relief. So that was it. Did President Jasmine think Yolanda could steal the show?! 

Serena, who was standing next to her, subconsciously tightened her grip on the championship trophy. No way, President Jasmine wouldn’t announce in front of everyone that Yolanda was more deserving of the championship, would she? 

“I’m asking you.” Jasmine looked into Yolanda’s eyes, “Did you compose the piece you just played by yourself?” 

Yolanda, realizing something was off, was so nervous that her body was getting weak, “Of course.” 

“So you’re saying that every note, every melody of this piece was thought out by you, with no one else involved?” Jasmine asked. 

Yolanda was barely able to stay on her feet. She didn’t understand Jasmine’s implication. Did Jasmine know that she plagiarized Arabella’s climax, so she was questioning her in public? 

Impossible, who did Jasmine think she was, how could she know Arabella? Unless Arabella approached her and told her something… 

“President Jasmine, I don’t know what others have told you Yolanda decided to deny everything, the best strategy at this moment was to distract her, “If it’s because I was admiring you from the audience earlier, and I foolishly thought of becoming your student. I’m sorry.” 

Yolanda maintained her poised demeanor, “You mentioned earlier that you don’t take students, and even if you did, you wouldn’t take someone from the Murphy family. I don’t know what we Murphys did wrong. But as a senior, you have the right to choose your favorite student. I understand that. I even feel I’m not good enough to gain your favor. But earlier, in front of so many people, you said I’m not worthy of wearing Queen Abby’s clothes and jewelry. You probably don’t know, but I’ve always idolized you, and my efforts to learn the piano were to get closer to you.” 

With just a few words, she painted President Jasmine as a rude and snobbish person. This was the first time Jasmine had encountered such a person, young and out of line! 

didn’t expect President Jasmine to be like this. Yolanda worked her tail off learning the piano to get close to her. She doesn’t have to take her as a student, but she didn’t need to say such hurtful words. Yolanda must be so upset.” 

“I think Yolanda looks great in Queen Abby’s clothes. Is President Jasmine being too nosy? What someone wears or puts on is none of her business.” 

“It’s okay if President Jasmine doesn’t want to mentor the younger generation, but she intentionally embarrassed them at such an important event.” 

“President Jasmine lacks manners.”
