Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall
Chapter 37 World renowned piano maestro Darell actually showed such sleference before Emma.
The artatic education director of Vark College, who was present, was the first to recover from the shock. âMr. Wallaker, do you two know each âYes,â replied Darell, The other teachers seized the moment. âThis girl is very bright, not only academically excellent but also talented in many areas.
Why donât you take her under your wing? Then you could teach her your exquisite piano skills.â
Darell frowned. âNo.â
His response brought a clear flash of disappointment to the eyes of the leaders, while Kate and her followers couldnât help but laugh. They chattered among themselves.
âSo what if they know each other? Trash is still trash Barell would never let Emma be his student.â
âExactly, only Miss Johnson is the best at piano at Vark Collegeâ
But Darellâs next words completely shocked those who looked down on Emina âEmmaâs piano skills are exquisitely unparalleled, certainly not inferior to mine; I wouldnât dare claim her as my studentâ
âWh what?â Several school leaders were stunned, thinking to themselves, Is Mr. Wallaker joking? No, no way! Even if he were joking, he wouldnât do it with us. After all, his previous attitude toward us has always been indifferent Kate couldnât believe that her idol, Darell, had just said that Emmaâs level was even higher than his? Whatâs going on? Could it be that Emma is really a world class, epic level pianist?
Knowing that Emma didnât want to reveal herself, but eager to hear her play, Darell courteously stepped forward and gestured an invitation. âEmma, may I have the pleasure of performing a duet with you?â
âWith the greatest pleasure.â Emma agreed readily. Then the two sat at separate planos and performed a plano duel.
Since his youth, Darell had been known as the âPiano Devil,â is style was wild and unrestrained, full of mystery a cand change. The bass section he played began with a gentle striking, until reaching the middle where it became rich and powerful, like a sudden thunderstorm on a small island, the rain patterns hitting the eaves, deep and resounding, startling to the heart.
At that moment, the treble susund began, Emmaâs fingers were like the fluttering wings of a butterfly, moving nimbly. A series of crisp high notes slid down, turning all the heavy raindrops into cascading waterfalls of shining pearls, a breathtaking sight.
Hearing her play, Darell instantly became excited, and his own playing grew even more magnificent.
Accompanied by Emmaâs exquisitely enchanting high notes, everyone in the auditorium was left dumbfounded. Kate couldnât believe it âThis... This canât be real. How could Emma have improved so much overnight?â
She tried desperately to find flaws but found none. On the contrary, the more she listened intently, the more she felt Emmaâs terrifyingly strong foundation in playing in the end, the actually burst into tears.
She was brought to tears because she felt she was completely defeated.
âMiss Johnson, Miss Johnson?â The student next to her thought she was moved to tears. âMiss Johnson is a professional. Sheâs even brought to tears by the sheer brilliance of the performance. Hereâs a tissueâ
Chapter 17 kate was at oss for words.
After what seemed like an eternity, the duct between Darell and Emma finally ended. Below the stape, applause roared like thunder âGreat, that was amazingâ
âEmma, youâre so impressive.
âEmma, my goddess.â
âDarell, Darell, Darell, Soon, the incident at the venue spread throughout the entire Art Festival at Vark College. Without a doubt, the piano duet performance by Emma and Darell brought the festival to its climax.
After it ended, Darell found Emma backstage. He was finally able to speak with her alone. âLong time no see, my junior sister.â
It turned out Emma was Darellâs junior sister.
Back in the day, Darellâs piano teacher often mentioned that although Darell was his most proud student, he actually had another student whose talent surpassed even Darellâs.
Darell never knew the name of his junior sister, he only knew that his piano teacher called her âFiveâ and endlessly praised her comprehension and piano skills.
Hearing Emma play today, he felt as if he had been listening to divine music. âSeeing you in person and hearing you play is truly wonderful Our teacher didnât deceive me; I really do have a genius junior sister.â
Emma nodded. âYou flatter me. Over the years, youâve pioneered new realms in the piano world, far surpassing my achievements, I wouldnât dare compare myself to you.
Emma spoke the truth. She hadnât focused on music over the years. In terms of actual skill, Darell would still have the edge. But Darell didnât see it that way; in his heart, Emma was a genius, and he admired her greatly, After parting with Darell, Emma went to the restroom alone.
from a Inside the ladies restroom, Emma was fixing her makeup in front of the mirror when suddenly, she saw someone step out from compartment in high heels, with a cold gaze Kate was utterly confused. Why does Darell know Emma, and why can she play the pianoso well? After much thought, the concluded there was only one possibilityâDarell must have taken Emma as his student. She looked at Emma with hostility: âWhat exactly is your relationship with Darell? Why did he teach you to play the piano? Tell me, did you use some improper means to make him take you as his student?â Emma casually adjusted a lock of her hair with one hand while looking at Kate in the mirror, mocking her with an utterly disdainful smite Seeing this smile, Kate trembled with anger. âBrad told me Liamâs new girlfriend wasnât simple. I thought you were someone big but it turn out youâre nothing but just a common gold digger who only knows to seduce men Slapt Emma raised her hand. midâair and slapped Kateâs face. Kate was stunned. The next second, as the her hand to slap back, her wrists..
Emma gripped her wrist and pinned her against the restroom wall âDan tilte your position as a teacher to bully others, You Kate, are not qualified to be my teacherâ Emma said seriously.
Br1tell you at the end of the term. Ouch!â Before Kate could finish, she began to scream.
Emma simply gripped Kate lightly, and Kate ciled out in pain. Enimaâs smoothâskinned, slender hand held Kateâs head, and she whispered near Kateâs ear. âKate, donât forget. Youâre just a substitute teacher outsourced by Vark College, not a real educator.
And even Darell just said that your decadeâlong piano learning doesnât even measure up to a professional studentâs. Youâre just a spoiled rich kid relying on your Tamilyâs wealth. Donât try to throw your weight around in front of me.â
With that, she released Kate, who nearly lost her balance. Kate looked at Emma with hatred and said viciously, âMe, throwing my weight around? If youâre so capable, then do you know how Liamâs leg was crippled?â
