Chapter 111 The Same “Country Tune”
Mia nervously grabbed Yuliana’s wrist and chided, “Yulianna, didn’t I tell you not to…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Layla squeezed in between them. “Mia, sometimes being overly kind only enables wrongdoing. Shameless people like Evelyn should be taught a lesson. Let’s see if she dares to bully you again.” Mia bit her l*p, feeling anxious but unsure how to refute Layla’s words.
Layla despised indecisive individuals the most. Her position in the Reid family was crucial, and if Mia incurred Layla’s displeasure, entering the Reid family would become even more. challenging.
Fortunately, Henry didn’t 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, “I heard this young lady was supposed to participate. She even registered with your staff. However, she hasn’t performed yet. Did you perhaps forget about
her?”
The event organizers exchanged glances and remained silent. The manager stepped forward, “If this young lady wishes to participate, she may perform now. Please, go ahead.”
Evelyn leisurely set down her red wine, a teasing smile playing on her l*ps. Her stunning appearance took everyone’s breath away. She had been planning to unravel Mia’s disguises layer by layer, and now, the perfect opportunity presented itself.

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 “Country Tune” as Mia.
Layla couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ve never seen someone knowingly choose the same piece for
a competition.”
Unless that person had absolute skill and could easily outshine the previous performer.
It was clear that Evelyn was not such a person.
“I bet she only knows this one piece,” Yulianna sneered. In her memory, she had never seen. Evelyn play the piano. Observing Evelyn’s demeanor just now, Yulianna is more certain, “I thought we’d witness a masterful performance as the grand finale, but it seems she can’t compare to
even a tenth of Mia’s skill.”
Layla added, “Of course, Mia is the most soulful pianist I’ve ever seen.
Those who had attentively listened to Mia’s 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. ‘This time, I’ll let Evelyn taste what it’s 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.
“What is she doing? If she can’t play, she should step down early. It’s a waste of time,” someone remarked.
“Could she be trying to gain attention through this competition? If she doesn’t play soon, the organizers should ask her to leave. Our time is valuable, and Master Zayn’s time is even more
precious.”
“I can’t believe I thought she was pretty just a moment ago. I…”
Before the person could finish their sentences, Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes.

Chapter 111 The Same “Country Tune”
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 “Country Tune,” but with an entirely different feel.
If Mia’s 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.]
‘Do ng!”
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 Zayn’s 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 Mia’s hand.
followed by
Mia was enraged. She was very unpleasant and her eyes were full of resentment.
Why did Evelyn have to choose “Country Tune” out of all the pieces in the world?
That cu nning woman deliberately wanted to humiliate her.
