NovelEnglishChapter 111 Tflew by, and before I knew it, two days had passed.
During that time, I tried going to the piano room to practice, but it was either locked, already occupied, or-most ridiculously-I was told the key had been "lost". Such a pathetic excuse; anyone with half a brain could tell someone was messing with me. And honestly, who else at St. Nicholas University would bother to cause trouble forbesides Leah? I found it amusing. What was the point of blocking my practice? Did she think that by stoppingfrom rehearsing, I wouldn't be able to perform? Since practicing the piano was clearly impossible, I simply decided not to bother. Instead of wasting ton this nonsense, I focused on more important matters, like discussing land deals with Liam.

Two hours before the show, she finally gave up. She sprawled on a couch, scrolling through TikTok and taking photos to pass the time. For the performance, I chose a long blue gown. This color was Grandma's favorite, so it held special meaning. I snapped a picture and sent it to her caretaker, then sent a voice message to Grandma to let her know I'd be performing soon.
"Evelyn, you look absolutely stunning..." Sharon stood behind me, smiling as she picked up a brush. "Letfix your hair, chere." The show was scheduled to start at 6:00 pm. After getting my hair done and grabbing a quick meal, we hurried to the venue. The event was already in full swing, with half the campus gathered.
Brenda grabbed my arm, visibly nervous. "Evelyn, I'm sure you're going to play amazingly, but oh my god, I'm so nervous!" Sharon gently pulled her hand off my arm, sounding exasperated as she said, "Brenda, stop squeezing her arm; you'll leave marks!" "Oh, right... Are you okay?" Brenda immediately inspected my arm with the utmost care, her touch feather-light.
I ruffled her hair and reassured her, "Relax. I'm fine. Just watchwhen it's my turn." Brenda finally calmed down, though she muttered, "You haven't practiced even once... Oh well, we're in it now. I'll be clapping hard for you either way!" "Well, well, isn't this our grand finale star?" Leah's voice rang out once again. She had a knack for showing up at just the right moments.
"I know how good you are at the piano, so I made sure to tell the program coordinator you should go last. How thoughtful of me, right?" she said, sneering.

Brenda, on the other hand, wasn't one to hold back. She yelled, "Leah, you've got snerve! Who told you to make that decision? Lettell you, if anything goes wrong with Evelyn's performance tonight, you'll regret it!" Flanked by her little group of followers, Leah covered her mouth with a smirk. "Why are you so worked up? Evelyn hasn't even said anything, yet here you are, acting like her little lapdog." Her words were harsh, and Brenda's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
I raised an eyebrow, chuckling softly. "Oh? Have you forgotter what Liam said last time? You still dare to use that word?"
Leah's face twisted with the memory, and she stomped her foot in frustration.

Though Brenda was furious, seeinghandle Leah calmed her down a bit. Still, she couldn't help but worry E about my upcoming performance.
