Chapter 201 The Gof Power That sentence made Sierra seething with rage.
All her bragging suddenly turned ugly as she shot a fierce glare at Maggie: "What did you just say?" Maggie smirked and said, “I said, maybe you're overestimating yourself a bit. Winning a few awards by splurging money and pulling strings doesn't make you the chosen one, you know?" Those awards of yours are, like, totally shallow. Why don't you check out what others are saying about. them on the forums?" Sierra was shaking with anger. "You know nothing about music. Do you think you can judge me? Maggie, who do you think you are?" Maggie raised an eyebrow. "And what if I do judge and comment? What are you going to do about it?" "You-!" Sierra instinctively moved to slap Maggie.
"Sierra!" Just then, Olivia's stern voice cut in.
Olivia quickly stepped forward, grabbed Sierra's hand, and said sharply. "What's going on? You just cback and are already causing trouble." "Maggie, Sierra has been struggling with something in her heart for a while now, let's not argue with her." Hearing this, Maggie chuckled softly.
Yeah, why didn't I realise it in the past life? If Olivia treatedas her child, why would she always protectand scold Sierra whenever we had conflicts of interest, without bothering to ask the reasons? In this new life, she finally grasped the dynamics between them.
It was all just a charade devoid of genuine emotions.
"Mom, I won't bother getting into it with her. Don't worry. I'm just worried that if she acts the sway. towardsduring the competition, it could cause strouble. It might mess up Dad's plans..." Maggie sighed softly, sounding a bit helpless.
One sentence was all it took to make Olivia's face change. After all, for the Camerons at the moment, the top priority was reviving the Luster Corporation. Otherwise, its failure would surely impact each of them.
"Don't worry, Maggie. I will have a word with her." Maggie nodded obediently, then cast a glance at Sierra with a touch of provocation and scorn in her eyes. after walking past Olivia.
Chapter 201: The Gof Power It wasn't until Maggie disappeared from view that Sierra, tears welling up, said, "Mom! Why did you stop me? It's all because of her that I got kicked out of the house in the first place! And now this b*tch dares to challenge me!" "This time, she's bound to be overshadowed by you in the competition. Your dad is already helping to boost your profile. Don't go causing trouble recklessly. Once the Luster Corporation stabiliscs, you'll have plenty of chances to deal with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOlivia called Sierra back to the room and talked to her for quite a while.
After returning to her room, Maggie took a shower first.
Then she turned on her computer and worked on a design proposal for Timmothy's house, probably knowing it wasn't convenient for her to talk freely at the Camerons' residence. Nathael only sent at message.
After chatting with Nathael for a while, Maggie leaned back against the headboard with a pillow, lost in thought. Her mind was filled with thoughts about the upcoming University's Piano Competition.
She hadn't thought Ronald would focus on this competition, but after thinking about it, it made sense.
After all, Sierra's best at the piano, and the Camerons went all out to get her into a top school.
It's only natural they'd pitch in now. And for Ronald, his daughter was the most reliable.
Maggie closed her eyes, and a few names popped into her head.
The Camerons, Sierra, the Pierces, and herself.
She was already involved, so she had to plan carefully.
Someone like Sierra, with all her ruthlessness but lack of smarts, was the perfect pawn. The big question is, how could I drag both the Camerons and the Pierces down together? Maggie pondered for a while, until late into the night, when she had a rough plan in mind. Afterwards, she searched online for information related to the piano competition.
Maybe it was the effect of capital, but the competition was getting a lot more attention than before. They even set up an official blog just for it. With all the promotion from big sponsors and universities, it was making waves, almost as big as the popular talent shows nowadays.
Maggie skimmed through the updates and stumbled upon a post by a big influencer analysing the contestants, followed by predictions for the top ten.
Among them, Sierra surprisingly made the cut and was even predicted to grab second place.
After a quick scan, Maggie memorised all the contestants' details, then shot a message to Leo, asking if he could increase the investment in the competition.
If the Camerons wanted to play, they might as well go all out.
The next morning. Maggie left the Camerons' place.
While in the car, she called Nathael, "Hey, cas 1 borrow your piano?" Nathael replied in a warm tone. "What for? "I want to shoot a video and post it online to hype things up, Maggie explained cheerfully, already having sideas brewing.
Glancing at the time, Nathael said in a serious tone, "How about at two this afternoon?" Maggie hesitated for a few seconds, realising that he was offering to help.
"I can manage it myself. Just a casual recording, nothing too fancy," she said.
"No problem. I'm free this afternoon." Hearing this, Maggie didn't insist further. She went straight home, changed into a different outfit, and applied simple makeup.
When she got to Nathael's place, she arrived a bit earlier than their two o'clock appointment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe staff had gotten the message early in the morning and promptly directed her to the piano room on the second floor.
Maggie remembered that he had a piano room here. The piano was a Q custom-made model from a top-tier I made! NO brand, with a logo engraved on it, though its origins weren't easy to trace.
And the view from this piano room was just stunning. With its curved floor-to-ceiling windows, it offered at wide-open panorama filled with sunlight. And the scenery outside made it extra beautiful. Even though she had a piano back home, Maggie opted for this one to avoid any speculation about her identity.
Not many people would recognise Nathael's piano anyway. He wasn't the type to bring friends over often.
Even if someone did recognise it, Maggie didn't need to worry about them spilling the beans. Even if they had suspicions, they might not dare ask Nathael about it.
This way, it worked out perfectly.
If others couldn't figure it out, her plan would be easier to pull off.
Seated at the piano stool, Maggie let the beautiful melodies flow effortlessly from her slender, delicate fingers. After spending stgetting familiar with the piano, she began to find her rhythm.
In the afternoon sunlight, she gently closed her eyes, feeling a faint sense of déjà vu from her past life.
Nathael had stumbled upon her love for playing the niano by accident. She had once wandered into his 3/4 Chapter 201 The Gof Power piano room and couldn't resist trying her hand at playing for a while, However, with her vision impaired and years without practice, she had beca bit rusty.
Feeling somewhat down and restless, she was surprised when a figure walked up beside her Hem e stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her, and together they played a few tunes, helping her find her rhythm again. "Nathael, is this piano a custom-made Sam & Co?" She asked with a hint of excitement, a rare moment of joy in her voice.
