Second Chances

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. “Mr. Wallaker, do you two know each 

“Yes,” replied Darell, 

The other teachers seized the moment. “This girl is very bright, not only academically excellent but also talented in many areas. Why don’t you take her under your wing? Then you could teach her your exquisite piano skills.” 

Darell frowned. “No.” 

His response brought a clear flash of disappointment to the eyes of the leaders, while Kate and her followers couldn’t help but laugh. They chattered among themselves. 

“So what if they know each other? Trash is still trash Barell would never let Emma be his student.” 

“Exactly, only Miss Johnson is the best at piano at Vark College” 

But Darell’s next words completely shocked those who looked down on Emina “Emma’s piano skills are exquisitely unparalleled, certainly not inferior to mine; I wouldn’t dare claim her as my student” 

“Wh what?” Several school leaders were stunned, thinking to themselves, Is Mr. Wallaker joking? No, no way! Even if he were joking, he wouldn’t do it with us. After all, his previous attitude toward us has always been indifferent 

Kate couldn’t believe that her idol, Darell, had just said that Emma’s level was even higher than his? What’s going on? Could it be that Emma is really a world class, epic level pianist? 

Knowing that Emma didn’t want to reveal herself, but eager to hear her play, Darell courteously stepped forward and gestured an invitation. “Emma, may I have the pleasure of performing a duet with you?” 

“With the greatest pleasure.” Emma agreed readily. Then the two sat at separate planos and performed a plano duel. 

Since his youth, Darell had been known as the “Piano Devil,” 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, Emma’s 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 Emma’s exquisitely enchanting high notes, everyone in the auditorium was left dumbfounded. Kate couldn’t believe it “This… This can’t be real. How could Emma have improved so much overnight?” 

She tried desperately to find flaws but found none. On the contrary, the more she listened intently, the more she felt Emma’s 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. 

“Miss Johnson, Miss Johnson?” The student next to her thought she was moved to tears. “Miss Johnson is a professional. She’s even brought to tears by the sheer brilliance of the performance. Here’s a tissue” 

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 

“Great, that was amazing” 

“Emma, you’re so impressive. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Emma, my goddess.” 

“Darell, 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. “Long time no see, my junior sister.” 

It turned out Emma was Darell’s junior sister. 

Back in the day, Darell’s piano teacher often mentioned that although Darell was his most proud student, he actually had another student whose talent surpassed even Darell’s. 

Darell never knew the name of his junior sister, he only knew that his piano teacher called her “Five” and endlessly praised her comprehension and piano skills. 

Hearing Emma play today, he felt as if he had been listening to divine music. “Seeing you in person and hearing you play is truly wonderful Our teacher didn’t deceive me; I really do have a genius junior sister.” 

Emma nodded. “You flatter me. Over the years, you’ve pioneered new realms in the piano world, far surpassing my achievements, I wouldn’t dare compare myself to you. 

Emma spoke the truth. She hadn’t focused on music over the years. In terms of actual skill, Darell would still have the edge. But Darell didn’t 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 possibility–Darell must have taken Emma as his student. She looked at Emma with hostility: “What 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?” 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. “Brad told me Liam’s new girlfriend wasn’t simple. I thought you were someone big but it turn out you’re nothing but just a common gold digger who only knows to seduce men 

Slapt 

Emma raised her hand. mid–air 

and 

slapped Kate’s 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 

“Dan tilte your position as a teacher to bully others, You Kate, are not qualified to be my teacher” Emma said seriously. 

Br1tell you at the end of the term. Ouch!” Before Kate could finish, she began to scream. 

Emma simply gripped Kate lightly, and Kate ciled out in pain. Enima’s smooth–skinned, slender hand held Kate’s head, and she whispered near Kate’s ear. “Kate, don’t forget. You’re just a substitute teacher outsourced by Vark College, not a real educator. And even Darell just said that your decade–long piano learning doesn’t even measure up to a professional student’s. You’re just a spoiled rich kid relying on your Tamily’s wealth. Don’t try to throw your weight around in front of me.” 

With that, she released Kate, who nearly lost her balance. Kate looked at Emma with hatred and said viciously, “Me, throwing my weight around? If you’re so capable, then do you know how Liam’s leg was crippled?”
