Chapter 669 Snobbish Provocation
Yara was displeased to know that Natalie was chosen.
On the flipside, Jacqueline was exuding confidence as she anticipated her victory. She smirked at Cassidy. “Cassie, all you have to do is give me an applause later…”
Cassidy nodded in agreement.
The sequence of their performances was in accordance with their ascending numbers. Yara would be the first to perform followed by Jacqueline and Natalie.
Before the Shine Charity Gala, Yara had been practicing the piano.
She started playing the song “Ambush” gracefully, stirring up ripples of emotions among the audience. Everyone was immersed in the melodic tune, indulging in the serenity it brought to them.
Natalie swirled her glass of champagne as she stared at Yara.
Oh, my dear sister…
If you had the right mentality, you would have achieved much more in life.
Sadly, there’s no “if” in life. One may have the greatest talent or the most beautiful look, but the person will never succeed without the right attitude and mentality.
After the song ended, the audience applauded boisterously.
Outsiders may have perceived Yara’s performance to be flawless, but experts could easily identify the lack of skills and emotions in her play.
Seeing Yara who bowed to the audience and left the stage, Jacqueline smiled triumphantly.
While Yara may have performed at an above-average standard, it was far from perfect.
Jacquelin believed that she would outperform Natalie significantly with her beautiful voice and that the latter would inevitably be overshadowed by her.
After walking up the stage, she made a gesture toward the control room.
Immediately, the most difficult part of the song, “Phantom” was played. Following the melody, Jacqueline started singing with her pure, innocent voice. She managed to reproduce the intricacies of the song perfectly, be it the pitch or the tune.
Immediately, the ambiance turned into the elitist society of the sixteenth century. Everyone could relate to the hardship and loneliness endured by the main character in the song.
