Obsession With Mr. Right

Chapter 186

Chapter 186

Seeing that Valeria was playing the piano in the talent show, Ashley, who was watching away from the crowd, sneered at her.

Was Valeria provoking Paisley? She really was a good- for- nothing for challenging the queen of piano because of William.

She was merely an amateur in the presence of Paisley.

Later on, when she saw that Valeria changed her instrument to the pipa , she couldn't help but laugh inside.

So, she did know her limits, huh? However, the pipa song that Valeria chose was very simple and easy.

How perfunctory of her...If she wanted to play the pipa, she should have chosen a harder song.

Pipas in general had very simple melodies because they were low-sounding instruments that usually serve as accompaniment.

Other than that, the pipa's note fingering positions were also very easy to learn.

Ashley was sure that Valeria would not win, so she also signed up to perform.

When Ashley was a child, Julie had spent a lot of effort to train her for her future.

She had learned to dance when she was a child and played the piano and Chinese zither.

Even if she did not get first place, she would definitely be memorable to the crowd.

In addition to that, she was very confident in her body figure.

She would be sure to win the heart of the crowd in the dance performance later.

On the other hand, Valeria chose the pipa song on a whim.

She liked the song and had no desire to win first place.

After making her selection, Abbie was very satisfied, "Valeria, later when you play, you should have an accompaniment with someone, so you don't need to play the prerecorded part."

"An accompaniment with who?" Valeria asked.

"My brother! He can play the piano and all kinds of musical instruments.If you guys pair up, you'll definitely get bonus votes."

"That's not good though, right?" Valeria shook her head.

"What's so bad about it? I've already decided.I'll talk to my brother now"

Abbie went to find Richard excitedly.

Richard said slowly, I'm fine with being the accompaniment, but she will have to dance with me later"

"Do you even know how to dance?" Abbie rolled her eyes.

"Of course I do.If I agree to this deal, I can also drag Marcus and Michael to accompany Valeria.I think that should be enough for the background music, right?"

"Yes! That's enough!"

Abbie laughed happily.

With Marcus and Michael, she could imagine how wonderful Valeria would be tonight.

The talent show began.

Most of the people chose to play piano and dance.

The rich people who came here were ready to show off their talents.The applause came one after another.

When it was time for Ashley to come on the stage.

She chose to play the famous song, ‘Dried Boat Night Melody’, with the zither.

Ashley devoted all her effort and put on her best performance.She did have the talent in her. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

She was also considered beautiful.

Some people watching were trying to figure out who she was, "What family is this young lady from? She's pretty, man"

"That's Ronald's illegitimate daughter, and I heard she aborted a baby with Mason"

Someone who recognized Ashley interrupted.

Their attraction towards Ashley playing the zither instantly disappeared .

An illegitimate daughter who had an abortion.

How disgusting! Ashley was so engrossed in playing and she wholeheartedly devoted herself to the performance.

She was expecting warm applause after she was done, but the crowd was silent when she got up.

This was not the reaction she had imagined.

Ashley was extremely depressed, "What's wrong with these people? Why don't they know how to appreciate my performance?"

The crowd's reaction crushed her expectations of being the center of attention tonight.

Ashley went back to the stage in embarrassment and thought, "These uneducated people don't know how to appreciate a good performance, I guess I'll have to stun them with the dance later."

Two groups of couples performed after her.

The pair that was playing the piano gained warm applause, while the pair playing the violin also received thunderous applause.

Paisley came on stage and sat down in front of the piano.

She looked fairy-like after changing into a long white dress that dragged on the floor.She played the song, ‘For Alice’.

As she was the queen of the piano, the whole hall became quiet when she started to play her piece.

Everyone was immersed in her performance.

After the song was over, the hall remained silent for a while before the applause sounded.

Paisley smiled confidently as she bowed elegantly and thanked the crowd.

When she glanced at William's seat, the smile on her face disappeared.

He was completely out of sight.

She had gone on stage tonight to play for him.

But he was not even here, what was the point of her performance? Paisley controlled herself and walked down the stage to Hardy's side.

He gave her a thumbs up and said, "That was great!"

Paisley lowered her voice, "Bro, where is Valeria?"

"She went to get ready.It's her turn to perform next.To tell you the truth ,I'm really looking forward to it’ Hardy laughed.

"Are you looking forward to watch the performance or the performer?" Paisley hinted.

"Don't get me wrong.Let me tell you, Valeria’s accompaniments tonight are all quite impressive."

"Quite impressive? Who are they?" Paisley was also curious.

"Richard, Marcus, and Michael.That's impressive enough, isn't it?"

"How did she get all three of them to perform with her?"

Paisley was a little jealous.

"Maybe it's because of her music selection.She was going to play with prerecorded background music, but the three of them volunteered, so there was no need for background music anymore.I think everyone will be amazed when they show up later.After all, they aren't people you can easily collaborate with"

Hardy said with some regret, "I was planning to give her the piano accompaniment, but Marcus went ahead of me."

When Paisley heard what he had said, a fit of inexplicable jealousy welled up in her heart.

She was the princess of the evening.

Wasn't Valeria robbing her of her limelight with the three Prince Charmings as her accompaniment? She was solemn.

She controlled herself and looked for William among the crowd, but she couldn't find him.

Valeria appeared on the stage with a pipa in her arms.

She changed out of her formal dress into a traditional Chinese costume.

In a formal dress, she was as beautiful and eye catching as a fairy; Ina cheongsam, she was an innocent and pure girl.

She sat down on the stage as the lighting changed.

Richard and Michael were carrying different types of flutes, and a tall man sat in front of the piano with his back towards the crowd.

Paisley looked at the man in front of the piano and suddenly stood up, "That's not Marcus!"

Marcus was indeed not sitting next to the piano.

It was William.

William was playing an accompaniment for Valeria? Paisley's mood instantly worsened.

Hardy was also stunned, "Huh? William?"

The pair of siblings did not quite understand why William would replace Marcus.

The lights shone on his slender fingers as they slid across the piano keys.

With the sound of the piano, the audience quietened down.

William was playing the accompaniment for Valeria? For what? His piano was not even considered to be the best!
