Chapter 296
Their surroundings were silent, and only the sound of water and the piano melody wafted by their ears.
Unlike Bella, Stella did not concern herself too much with what she wore. She was afraid of the cold, so
her skirt was paired with a white coat. As for her hair, it was brushed into a simple low ponytail. The
bangs on her forehead scattered across her face when she lowered her head to play the piano. Her
pursed red lips had a chilly presence that made her stand out. She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Marshall watched her silently while the wine glass in his hand was unconsciously gripped tightly. Vermont
was shocked when he heard it from the side.
There was only one line in his mind currently. ‘How many more surprises do you have hidden for your
majesty?’
Only Keegan had watched the whole thing calmly. Stella chose this song, and truthfully like she said, she

start, she could not play the song fluently. One could say that she was on par with Bella. However, she
would practice this song every time she went to the music room. In the beginning, it was terrible to the
ears. But, after practicing for a long time, she showed improvement and, in the end, wholly mastered it.
Even after she had mastered the song, she would still practice it every time she entered the music room.
Keegan’s ears were about to fall off from hearing it, so he could not help but ask her, “Why don’t you
switch to another song?”
In the end, she answered that the song was the most suitable for showing off. And today, she had indeed
shown off. He told Stella that she was sly as her attitude toward practicing the piano was not right. On
the other hand, Stella said in a serious manner that she did not need to know every song that could be
played with the piano. She only needed one extraordinary piece that was sufficient to amaze the crowd.
Her abilities could have been better, but she had a lot
of nonsense.
Keegan remembered the past incident, and the corner of his lips curled up for a moment. The crowd
erupted into thunderous applause when the final piano key was played.
As Bella wished, the song had definitely amazed everyone present. Even the people who had studied
the piano for tens of years could not help but give a compliment. In contrast, Bella had all sorts of colors
on her face as she flushed. Her confident posture was gone,
and only paleness was left on her expression.
Stella pretended to be gracious while she smugly said, “Ms. Young, why didn’t you play in the end?”
The corner of Bella’s lips twitched, and she thought, ‘Did I not want to play? Could I even keep up if I
did? Stella, you bitch!’
Bella took a deep breath and smiled forcefully. “You played wonderfully, Mrs. Kane. I was the inferior
one.”

Then, Stella decided to be an utterly manipulative cunt. She said, “You’re the first person to praise that I
played well. When I had piano classes in the past, my grades were always at the
bottom. But, I did get the upper hand today since I chose the song. Thank you, Ms. Young, for purposely
playing a few wrong keys to concede to me.”
Bella almost spat out blood when she heard that. ‘What breed of a bitch is Stella? Bella thought.
Even for those who did not know how to play the piano, it was apparent that Bella could not keep up with
Stella’s speed. To say it was modesty was ultimately not to help her save face; it was to embarrass her!
Bella had said it with so much confidence, and yet, in the end, Stella simply chose a song, and she could
not keep up with the latter. So, she could not argue against it at all.
Bella took another deep breath and said with much difficulty, “You’re too modest, Mrs. Kane.” Stella then
said, “Do you want to play another song? I get to choose a song just now. So, this time, you can choose.”
But, how could Bella possibly dare to play together with Stella again? If they continued, she would just be
taking a detour to embarrass herself further.
