From the audience, Attlee and Olga stood up abruptly, âWhatâs going on?â
Even Zachary was dumbstruck, couldnât believe that the usually kind and friendly President Jasmine would say such words!
âWhat do you mean by that, President Jasmine?â The host asked with a smile, âAre you suggesting that Yolanda could rank higher after listening to her performance?â
Upon hearing this, the audience, who initially thought there was an issue with Yolandaâs 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 wouldnât announce in front of everyone that Yolanda was more deserving of the championship, would she?
âIâm asking you.â Jasmine looked into Yolandaâs eyes, âDid you compose the piece you just played by yourself?â
Yolanda, realizing something was off, was so nervous that her body was getting weak, âOf course.â
âSo youâre saying that every note, every melody of this piece was thought out by you, with no one else involved?â Jasmine asked.
Yolanda was barely able to stay on her feet. She didnât understand Jasmineâs implication. Did Jasmine know that she plagiarized Arabellaâs 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 somethingâ¦
âPresident Jasmine, I donât know what others have told you Yolanda decided to deny everything, the best strategy at this moment was to distract her, âIf itâs because I was admiring you from the audience earlier, and I foolishly thought of becoming your student. Iâm sorry.â
Yolanda maintained her poised demeanor, âYou mentioned earlier that you donât take students, and even if you did, you wouldnât take someone from the Murphy family. I donât 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 Iâm not good enough to gain your favor. But earlier, in front of so many people, you said Iâm not worthy of wearing Queen Abbyâs clothes and jewelry. You probably donât know, but Iâve always idolized you, and my efforts to learn the piano were to get closer to you.â
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!
didnât expect President Jasmine to be like this. Yolanda worked her tail off learning the piano to get close to her. She doesnât have to take her as a student, but she didnât need to say such hurtful words.
Yolanda must be so upset.â
âI think Yolanda looks great in Queen Abbyâs clothes. Is President Jasmine being too nosy? What someone wears or puts on is none of her business.â
âItâs okay if President Jasmine doesnât want to mentor the younger generation, but she intentionally embarrassed them at such an important event.â
âPresident Jasmine lacks manners.â
âYolanda has strong mental fortitude. Sheâs a real lady, not like ordinary people.â
Most of the audience was praising Yolanda.
Upon seeing how she turned the tables with just a few words, Yolanda looked at President Jasmine with a hint of challenge in her eyes.
