Chapter 359

There was dead silence below the stage when the piano music ended.

Rachel stood up with a generous smile and said courteously, “Please forgive me if my performance is

not perfect.”

Hearing Rachel’s speaking, everyone gradually recovered from the shock.

Some people started applauding. Then deafening applause arose.

Below the stage, Olivia felt her face burning as if she had been slapped hard. Olivia shouted inside,

“Rachel knows how to play the piano!

“Moreover, Rachel seems so skillful that she must learn piano for years!”

“I wonder if Miss Cruise is satisfied with my performance?” asked Rachel.

Olivia came back to her senses and gazed at Rachel. Olivia took a deep breath and tried her best to

squeeze out a smile, replying, “I have to say Miss Grey is talented. I’m ashamed of my inferiority.”

Although Olivia said so, deep down, she wanted to rush up and tear Rachel’s face apart.

Olivia shouted inside, “That bitch must do this deliberately to embarrass me!”

Rachel realized the jealousy and anger in Olivia’s eyes. Thus, Rachel smiled and said, “Miss Cruise is

being humble. I haven’t practiced for a long time. How can I compare to Miss Cruise and Miss Smith?

You are the young ladies from noble. families.”

Rachel’s light tone could not hide the aggressiveness.

The smile on Olivia’s face froze.

Mary was the first to reply, “Things related to art don’t count on diligence, but talent.”

When people present heard this, they echoed, “Diligence and hard work seem so weak if compared

with talent.”

“Miss Cruise has always been called a talented lady. Now, it seems that this title belongs to someone

else.”

“Although Rachel is not from a prestigious family, she has an outstanding appearance, intelligence, and

talent. What is Mr. Smith thinking? Why did he choose Olivia Cruise over Miss Grey?”

“How can the Cruise family be considered a wealthy family now? Olivia is not a fair lady. Those people

call her like that because of business needs.”

“I’m curious about which family’s daughter would seduce a married man!”

“As the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Don’t forget that the current Mrs. Cruise

gets what she wants by her remarkable seducing skills!”

In just a minute, Olivia had turned from a highly sought–after target to the biggest laughing stock in the

hall.

Standing beside Olivia, Jane felt extremely embarrassed. She glared at Olivia angrily and left.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Are you satisfied with the result, Miss Cruise?” Rachel

was sneering, and her lips looked like dangerous poppy flowers.

Olivia lost control when hearing those words. She glared fiercely at Rachel and said, “You did it

deliberately!”

Rachel chuckled and replied, “But you’re the one who forced me to go on stage.” Then she slowly

reached out her hand toward Olivia’s face.

Olivia’s pupils constricted. Olivia subconsciously dodged and stared warily at Rachel’s demonic claw,

asking, “What do you want?”

Rachel reached out to grab Olivia’s chin and gently patted Olivia’s face, saying, “Think about it. You

asked for it. However, I have to thank you anyway. Without you, I won’t be able to stand out.”

Rachel’s every word was filled with intense mockery.

The sense of mockery was strong especially when Rachel slapped Olivia’s face. It was obvious that

Rachel did not use much strength, but Olivia felt her face burning.

Olivia felt ashamed of being stepped on and humiliated by Rachel.

Olivia’s breathing became faster, and her eyes gradually turned red due to extreme anger and

unwillingness.

When Olivia was about to go crazy, Rachel reminded her, “Miss Cruise, watch your manners. You’re a

lady from a wealthy family.”

After speaking, Rachel smiled and left, passing Olivia.
