Chapter 111 The Same âCountry Tuneâ
Mia nervously grabbed Yulianaâs wrist and chided, âYulianna, didnât I tell you not toâ¦â
Before she could finish her sentence, Layla squeezed in between them. âMia, sometimes being overly kind only enables wrongdoing. Shameless people like Evelyn should be taught a lesson. Letâs see if she dares to bully you again.â Mia bit her lip, feeling anxious but unsure how to refute Laylaâs words.
Layla despised indecisive individuals the most. Her position in the Reid family was crucial, and if Mia incurred Laylaâs displeasure, entering the Reid family would become even more. challenging.
Fortunately, Henry didnât accompany Evelyn today, so the situation should be easy to handle.
Mia harbored a slight sense of relief and chose to silently observe, not intervening as the two set a trap for Evelyn.
Yulianna pointed at Evelyn, saying, âI heard this young lady was supposed to participate. She even registered with your staff. However, she hasnât performed yet. Did you perhaps forget about her?â
The event organizers exchanged glances and remained silent. The manager stepped forward, âIf this young lady wishes to participate, she may perform now. Please, go ahead.â
Evelyn leisurely set down her red wine, a teasing smile playing on her lips. Her stunning appearance took everyoneâs breath away. She had been planning to unravel Miaâs disguises layer by layer, and now, the perfect opportunity presented itself.

Chapter 111 The Same âCountry Tune Yulianna had already planned how to force Evelyn into the competition, but before she could say anything, Evelyn was already seated at the piano.
Familiar sensations enveloped Evelyn as she slowly closed her eyes. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, testing out a melody.
Upon hearing that familiar tune, everyone in the room was left puzzled. She was playing the same âCountry Tuneâ as Mia.
Layla couldnât help but laugh, âIâve never seen someone knowingly choose the same piece for a competition.â
Unless that person had absolute skill and could easily outshine the previous performer.
It was clear that Evelyn was not such a person.
âI bet she only knows this one piece,â Yulianna sneered. In her memory, she had never seen. Evelyn play the piano. Observing Evelynâs demeanor just now, Yulianna is more certain, âI thought weâd witness a masterful performance as the grand finale, but it seems she canât compare to even a tenth of Miaâs skill.â
Layla added, âOf course, Mia is the most soulful pianist Iâve ever seen.
Those who had attentively listened to Miaâs performance nodded in agreement. When they looked at Evelyn, their eyes were filled with disdain.
Mia once again became the center of attention. She hung her head, hiding all the smugness in her eyes. âThis time, Iâll let Evelyn taste what itâs like to be defeated by her own former work.
Evelyn sat in front of the piano, seemingly lost in her own thoughts, completely oblivious to the reactions of the audience.
As time passed, nearly five minutes had elapsed, and she remained unmoved.
âWhat is she doing? If she canât play, she should step down early. Itâs a waste of time,â someone remarked.
âCould she be trying to gain attention through this competition? If she doesnât play soon, the organizers should ask her to leave. Our time is valuable, and Master Zaynâs time is even more precious.â
âI canât believe I thought she was pretty just a moment ago. Iâ¦â
Before the person could finish their sentences, Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes.
FII, 23 FE Chapter 111 The Same âCountry Tuneâ
All eyes turned towards Evelyn, and those who had been questioning and blaming her were instantly stunned.
After five minutes of silence, Evelyn seemed to experience a complete transformation. Devoid of charm, allure, or enchantment, she exuded an overwhelming sense of melancholy and resentment that slowly swept through the entire venue.
The music started again, still the same âCountry Tune,â but with an entirely different feel.
If Miaâs previous performance had transported everyone to a country road, Evelyn now took. them to another level, narrating a poignant love story:
[A girl and a boy, they are childhood sweethearts, they overcame numerous obstacles to be together.
On their wedding day, the girl donned a pristine white gown, but the boy lay in a pool of blood. The girl, resentful of fate, bitter about life, she spent her remaining days in a small cottage, ultimately departing in profound loneliness.]
âDo ng!â
As the music ended, Evelyn quickly detached herself from the story and slowly stood up.
The entire venue remained eerily silent.
It took another three minutes until Master Zaynâs applause woke everyone up, thunderous applause.
Layla wiped away her tears, staring at Evelyn in astonishment.
This⦠How could this be possible?
Yulianna was also dumbfounded, unconsciously squeezing Miaâs hand.
followed by Mia was enraged. She was very unpleasant and her eyes were full of resentment.
Why did Evelyn have to choose âCountry Tuneâ out of all the pieces in the world?
