"She looks like an ordinary person. What is she even wearing, a sweater? Jeans? Is she a high school student? Just by looking, she doesn’t hold a candle to Caryn Zachmann. Has Mr. Norton’s vision gone blurry? How could he give up a student like Caryn Zachmann and choose an ordinary high school girl?"
"Shh. Keep it down. Do you know who Mr. Norton is? It wouldn’t be good if soone overheard us."
"But this girl looks so sloppy, hardly a good student, especially when compared to Caryn Zachmann! I wonder how many levels of piano she’s passed. Caryn Zachmann is at a Grade 8 piano major standard. If this girl hasn’t even passed Grade 8, that’s going to be hard to explain. Even Mr. Norton can’t avoid gossip..."
A master is a master, but when you reject a student of Grade 8 piano major standards in front of so many people, and then introduce soone ordinary, anyone would think that’s unfair and inconsiderate!

Govert Griffin looked as if he had seen a ghost, his jaw hanging open for a long ti as he stared at Sadam Vinson, his expression too complex for words.
"Mr. Vinson, tell honestly, what’s the deal with your sister from McKinney? This is too... too exaggerated!"
She had just faced off with Adelle Wafford and saved Mr. Wilmar’s life using her Chinese dicine acupuncture skills.
And now, stepping over Caryn Zachmann, she’s been acknowledged by Mr. Norton as his student.
To say nothing of her close friendship with Candice Yancey, who had left her business partners just to co and invite her for a al...
It’s only been two days, how many identities has she revealed?
His jaw was about to dislocate!
Sadam Vinson wasn’t much less shocked himself. After a mont of bewildernt, he couldn’t help but curse, "Damn! Alfred Garland didn’t tell ."
"...So you didn’t know Ms. Quinlan was that amazing?" Govert Griffin suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for him.
Sadam Vinson’s handso face was stern, as he looked at him expressionlessly, "Does it look like I knew from my face? I don’t know a damn thing!"
Govert Griffin: "..."
Thankfully, he was just there to help with the reception. If Mr. Vinson himself didn’t know, it eased his heart a little.
To soothe the frustrated and agitated man, he cheekily added, "Uh, it’s normal not to know. Who would have thought Ms. Quinlan would end up as Mr. Norton’s chosen student, I didn’t see that coming either."
"..."
While that balanced things for Govert Griffin, Sadam Vinson felt far from balanced inside, cursing as he picked up the phone on the table to start texting Alfred Garland about Nathalie Quinlan’s situation.
He wouldn’t dare pick a fight with Amadeus Yancey.
But he had the guts to tear into Alfred Garland!

Nathalie Quinlan, who was dragged over by Shawn Norton to be introduced, was still oblivious to the fact that her cover had been blown to Alfred Garland.
Right now, she was under the scrutiny of countless eyes.
It made her restless and annoyed.
Standing there with her lips pursed, she looked quite defiant.
Watching the girl standing there stealing the spotlight that should have been on Caryn Zachmann, Celine Tucker couldn’t help herself, her eyes darkening as she spoke, "Mr. Norton, I don’t an to question your decision. I’m just a bit puzzled."
She had heard of Nathalie Quinlan’s entrance exam results from Leonardy Zachmann and Mr. Zachmann, and knew that Nathalie had been admitted to Tsinghua University.
She wasn’t surprised that Shawn Norton knew Nathalie Quinlan.
She had heard from Caryn Zachmann that he had attended the auditions this year.
That is to say, Shawn Norton might have taken a liking to Nathalie Quinlan during the auditions and chosen her as his student.
She admitted Nathalie’s academic results were impressive.
First place in the joint entrance exam.
Perfect scores in all subjects!
But what does that have to do with music?
