Chapter 11
Rose with Thorns
Chapter 11 That socialite hadnât finished saying âdocklingâ before she and everyone else noticed the young woman descending the steps from the second floor The young woman donned a softâcolored dress. Her long, locks cascaded down her shoulders, framing her slim lace even more.
Those quiries and her elegantly scalpted features made her gorgeous beyond compare Nobody at the scene could take their eyes off her âHow pretty.â
ok at how she presents herself. She doesnât seem like someone who grew up in the countryside.â
âIs that the Murrayâs long lost daughter? Look at âYeah! See looks classier than Yasmin, whom the Murrays spent years raising!
Yasminâs expression soured once those compliments for Yvette filled the hall. Jealousy dripped from her gaze as it snapped toward Yvetteâs stuning appearance. She regretted not pulling a few stunts to disfigure Yvetteâs face As for the socialites, they reflected on their comments about Yvette earlier. Their faces heated up with humiliation, es if an invisible force had slapped them.
âEveryone, this is our precious daughter, whom weâve finally reunited with!â Yara and Irwin announced as they led Yvette onstage.
Yvette allowed it to happen without any emotion in her eyes. She disliked the situation but played along because she couldnât bear disappointing her parents.
Yasmin watched Yaca and Irwin embrace Yvette, finding the scene particularly jarring. She bit her lower lip before following the trio onstage.
Then, she squeezed between them and smiled âOur family is finally complete! To celebrate, Yvette has specially prepared a piano piece for everyone. We hope youâll enjoy it!â
With that, chatter immediately filled the hall again âHow surprising! I didnât think the Murray familyâs young daughter knew how to play the piano! Didnât they say she grew up in the countryside?â
âIndeed! I never imagined a girl who grew up in the country would know how to play the piano!â.
Yvetteâs eyes met Yasminâs, recognizing how the latter was challenging her. Even so, her expression didnât change one bit. She looked at the plano and could tell someone had tampered with at first glance.
The comers of Yvetteâs red lips tugged as she sneered at Yasmin. She decided to go all out since the latter insisted on playing these little âYasmin, arenât you going to play with YvieYara asked in confusion.
âTodayâs banquet is in Werroâs hoon. So, the first song should be played by Yotto, of course!â A perfect smile sat on Yasnanâs innocent face, yet venom brimmed in her eyes. âIâll play with Yvette for the second songâ
Irwin and Yaraâs hearts warmed when they heard Yasminâs thoughtful words. They quickly praised her, saying, âYouâre so considerate, Yasmin!
Yasmin Lips curved into an innocent and sweet smile. Little did anyone know she was scathing inwardly.
She had to admit Yvetteâs piano skills were above average. However, she had already tampered with the plane onstage.
Because of that, Wette wouldnât be able to play well, no matter how skilled she was Yasmin thought to herself, âGo and make a tool of yourself in front of all these people, Yvette! Iâl I get the household staff to switch out a new plano once Yvette tails superbly. With such a drastic contrast, everyone will know Yvette is no match for me!*
Yvette gradually sat before the piano. The stage lights shone on the graceful contours of her side profile, which were as shamning as a sculptureâs.
All eyes couldnât help shifting toward her. Everyone held their breaths and waited in silence Even Yasmin kept her eyes on rette, who was now on stage alone. Yastula couldnât wait for Yvette to humiliate herself on stage and become todayâs laughingstock A white Porsche came to a steady halt outside Murray Manne just then.
âItâs all you guysâ leult for stopping me from leaving the hospitall Thanks to you, Iâm now latolâ Martha exited the Porsche with Samuel standing respectfully by her side. He helped apert the car door for her.
âWhereâs Win? Why hasnât be shown up yet?â Marth asked.
Chapter 11 Samuelâs brows furrowed as he cautiously spoke. âMrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has asked me to drive you here first-â
Before he could finish, Martha interrupted him, âDonât beat around the bush. Tell me right nowâwhere & Will? Whereâs he gone?
Itâs his fiancéeâs banquet today! How can he not be present?â
Samuel could only helplessly respond, âMrs. Quinn Senior, Mr. Quinn has things to deal with today, so he canât make it-
âWhatâs more important than his fiancée!â Martha scoffed before adding, âI donât care! Have him get over here ASAP! Iâm going inside now. Youâd better inform him that heâs to rush over right this instance!â sá´aÊá´h thá´ Find ɴøᴠel.ná´t website on Gøøglá´ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Having said that, Martha hastened toward Murray Manor. She was nervously smoothing out the creases on her clothes and had a noticeable. grin on her face. Excitement bubbled within her at the thought of meeting her future granddaughterâinâlaw soon.
Upon entering the banquet hall, Martha heard a beautiful piano piece being played. There was a whimsical quality to it.
She couldnât help immersing herself in the music like everyone at the scene. For a brief moment, she forgot all about finding her granddaughterâinâlaw.
While everyone was engrossed with the masterful playing, only Yasminâs face paled to a ghastly grey. She didnât understand how this could have happened.
Yasmin swore she had tampered with the piano, yet Yvette played the instrument like nothing was wrong. On top of that, Yvette even played. incredibly well.
Yvette stopped playing once everyone became deeply enthralled by the music. Her striking eyes looked up from the piano and settled on the scowling Yasmin. âThis songâs a duet. Why donât we play the piece together?â
Everyoneâs attention snapped toward Yasmin, rendering her unable to refuse. If she turned Yvette down, everyone would think her skills were lesser than Yvetteâs. However, there was no telling how things would turn out if she went on stage noW âYouâre not afraid, are you, Yas?â Yvetteâs frosty tone rang out. While she spoke slowly and innocently, her voice was extra aggravating to Yasmin It angered Yasmin so much that she stormed up to the stage with amalicious gaze. However, she concealed her burning hatred with a smile on her face. âAlright, everyone. Please bear with my average skills.â
âOh, yay! Iâm so looking forward to this!â
âYasminâs the firstâplace winner of this yearâs piano competition! I doubt her skills will lose to Yvetteâs!â
Because Yasmin kept bragging since winning the piano competition, everyone looked forward to seeing her play It took Yasmin a great deal of effort to play the tampered piano. Plus, the piece was challenging, so she struggled to keep up with Yvetteâs pace She was so frantic that she accidentally played the wrong note.
From her fingermovements to her rhythm and beat, Yasmin lost in every aspect to Yvette. The loss was painful to the eyes and earsâof others All the expectations of the audience turned into intense disappointment. Some couldnât help frowning and voicing their opinions.
âWhatâs going on? What on earth is Yasmin playing?â
âYeah! What a flop! Could it be that her âfirst placeâ win was falsified?â
âIt has to be! How could she win first place with such poor skills? What a joke!â
