The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: What Qualifications Are There to Show Off_1

If she’d known that this piece would eventually win an award, she would’ve taken extra care to check it thoroughly and not just settled for second place.

Grandma Tucker said she didn’t win first place not because the piece wasn’t good enough, but mainly because it wasn’t suitable for piano.

After all, Nathalie had only learned to play the piano for a short time. Even if she had accidentally come up with a piece, that’s just what it was.

As Ghania thought of this, she was extremely annoyed, but what was done was done, and she could only console herself that she had at least secured second place.

”Her dad’s a Tsinghua University professor, and her cousin’s a big star, so maybe her birthday party will be quite lively,” she said, her seemingly gentle tone dripping with insincerity.

Only the naive students couldn’t pick up on it, standing up for her and voicing the thoughts in her heart.

”Her? Haha. Ghania, the social celebrities your parents invited are all on a different level than her small, trivial birthday affair!”

Ghania’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards. Her starry eyes fixed on Olivia, and she flashed her a great big smile, suddenly inviting her with arrogance, ”Olivia, do you have time this weekend? Would you like to join Sylvia and me at my birthday party?”

”Really? Can I come?” Olivia didn’t expect to be invited.

Ghania’s birthday party seemed to be a grand affair with many invitees, but in reality, she hadn’t invited many students from her school.

The two or three people Ghania invited all came from affluent families, like Sylvia Cadwell, whose grandfather was apparently a director; thus, Ghania had invited her.

Normally, Olivia got along well with Ghania, and Ghania liked hanging out with her, but Ghania hadn’t invited Olivia to her birthday party.

Ghania smiled slightly, ”Of course, it’s true. Do you have time? Would you like to come and have fun? I remember you also take piano lessons outside of school, and my grandma knows a great piano master who will be attending my birthday. You should come too.”

If Nathalie had been there, she would have definitely caught the arrogance in her tone.

Unfortunately, Nathalie wasn’t there, and Olivia was too green, too immersed in the excitement of getting to rub shoulders with the upper class to catch on, excitedly jumping up to grab Ghania’s hand, hurriedly nodding her head.

”I have time. I will definitely go early on Saturday morning!”

Ghania’s eyes hid disdain, but her lips curled up slightly, her tone a proud politeness, ”Good.”

The time spent at school always seems so fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, the end-of-school bell rang.

Nathalie had just finished packing her bag when she received a message from someone.

[Amadeus Yancey: Edric asked me to pick you up, I’m outside your school.]

Nathalie: ”...”

Next to her, Jhovany Sullivan was also packed up and asking her, ”Nathalie, how are you getting home? Shall we go together?”

Nathalie’s slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, she put away her phone, swung her single shoulder bag over her shoulder, and with an arch of her brows, she looked both beautiful and cool, ”No, someone’s picking me up.”

”Who is it?”

Just after Jhovany asked, it seemed to dawn on her, and she had an aha moment, ”I know, is it that person from last time? The one who was with us when Uncle Zachmann treated us to dinner?”

She didn’t know how to describe the young man; he was simply too handsome!

He was even more good looking than a star!

He seemed to be Nathalie’s boyfriend, outshining the senior Ghania flaunted every day by leagues!

Too bad he was a few years older than them; otherwise, if he had been their age, Ghania would have had no bragging rights at all!

Nathalie’s brows ticked up, and she didn’t speak for a moment.

”Um...” Which person?

But Jhovany was patting her shoulder, grinning with a ’I understand’ expression, saying, ”Don’t worry, Nathalie, I won’t tell Mr. Sullivan. You have a... friend (boyfriend) picking you up, so I’ll head off first.”
