The man has a pair of attractive eyes, a straight nose, with blue highlights on his forehead, which was eye-catching and fashionable. In particular, there was a diamond stud in his left ear, which was shining in the light.

Sylvia raised her eyebrows. A pianist could be so fashionable?

Before she could say anything, the other party extended his cold hand towards her, “I'm Clare.”

“I'm Sylvia." Looking at the man's fair-skinned wrist, Sylvia stretched out her hand. Their skin color seemed to be the same.

They shook hands and released each other's hand.

Clare was stunned. Somehow, his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment and then pound.

He was overwhelmed with excitement.

The Hipps had fair skin that was shining under the light.

It was the first ime he had met a girl whose skin was as fair as his. Master Keturah?

Interesting.

Sylvia?

Even more interesting.

Clare had imagined several times how he met Sylvia, but none of them were like this.

He almost thought he was meeting a woman with the same name. Tammy and Skyla once told him how vicious and shameless Sylvia was. He had heard so much about how Sylvia had bullied them and how she had done horrible things to them.

But the woman in front of him was as beautiful as an SD doll. Her almond eyes were watery and shining.

She was not at all like what Tammy and Skyla said.

The hosts soon walked to the center of the stage.

This kind of competition would be recorded or live streamed, and some live streaming platforms would live broadcast it.

So after a very formal introduction of the five judges, the hosts began their opening remarks and asked the contestants to start the competition without further ado.

Cristal was very nervous. Se was simply pretending to be calm in front of Mrs. Chan yesterday.

Now, as she listened to the beautiful piano sound, she raised her eyebrows and began to relax, because she heard a lot of flaws in the songs played by those contestants.

Maybe because of the recent training, she was more or less able to know those players’ levels from the songs they played.

Not only the Chans, but also the Carsons, Mrs. Carson and Aldo were there to cheer her on, so she couldn't afford to make a mistake.

One by one, the contestants took the stage and finished their performances.

Tiffany and Cristal were lined up right next to each other.

Soon, it was Tiffany's turn and she walked to the stage with confidence. She sat down in front of the piano, wearing a pink dress, and started to press the black and white keys gracefully.

The melodious sound of the piano immediately echoed over the opera house.

Backstage, Cristal was listening to the sound of the piano, and her face began to turn white little by little.

How could Tiffany have improved so much?

In the past, they were clearly on par with each other.

What was going on?

While she was thinking about it, Tiffany advanced and returned to the backstage.

Cristal could only take a deep breath and walk towards the stage on her high heels.

"Hello, judges, my entry is "White Moonlight'."

After Cristal got on the stage, she said to the judges in the venue. She bent down and bowed, and the moment she looked up, she saw the woman sitting in the front row.

The woman was dressed in a white dress, elegant and noble, and her expressionless face made it impossible to see her emotions clearly. But!

Cristal's heart could not help but contract.

Sylvia!

Master Keturah!

It was her!

It was really her!

Cristal's lips couldn't help but start trembling. She somehow didn't want to be looked down upon by Sylvia.

She calmed down a little bit and sat down behind the piano.

Her hands were put on the keys, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded.

The song ended.

She stared nervously at the judges’ table.

Sylvia calmly raised the scoreboard, 7.5 points.

The other judges basically gave 8 points or 7 points.

The score given by Sylvia was neither high nor low.

Cristal had made up her mind that if Sylvia dared to give her a low score, she would file a complaint against Sylvia for taking revenge on her.

However, she did not expect that Sylvia would give her a very fair score.

She was a bit confused.

Then she heard Sylvia's comment. Her cool voice came through the microphone.

"You're good at performing yourself and you have a desire to express yourself. The most important thing is to choose the right song for you. Badly performing a difficult song and well performing an easy song. The latter will help you gain more advantages for sure. So, you can remind yourself to play the songs slower. When you are on stage, you accelerated heartbeat and the tense atmosphere will make your playing speed accelerate. This creates a vicious circle.”

Cristal carefully listened to Sylvia's advice with wide eyes.

She found that Sylvia's words were particularly professional and pertinent. The latter talked about her strengths and weaknesses in a very clear manner.

After listening to Sylvia, she did feel enlightened.

Master Keturah was really amazing.

"Thank you."

She bent down, thanked Sylvia, and then walked off the stage.

Tiffany stared at Cristal in humiliation. When she just finished the competition, she went straight off the stage before taking her seat. And Sylvia didn't give her useful comments and simply ignored her. Originally it was humiliating enough for Tiffany that Sylvia was a judge while she was only a contestant.

What was even more humiliating was that Sylvia just gave her a brief comment -- "Well played.”

That was all.

For those who played the piano, they could easily fall into their own loops and could not get rid of them.

Sometimes they just needed an advice from others to get enlightened. And Cristal, apparently, had a complete epiphany.

Anyway, Cristal and Tiffany both advanced.

This was good news for both families.
