Aldo's eyes stared grimly at the center of the stage. His heart was filled with annoyance.

Turning his head, he said to Cristal, "Let's go."

“I made it to the next round. Shouldn't you congratulate me on making it?" Cristal bit her lip and looked at Aldo.

"Why can't you see me? Is she really that good? You can't think about anything but her! She's just a miserable orphan with no family background. Is she as capable as I am? She can't even express herself properly! And she's sick!"

Aldo's eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Cristal. "Shut up!"

Jenna, no matter what, was the best girl, in his mind.

He would not allow anyone to slander her!

However, Aldo seemed to have forgotten one thing at this point.

That was all that his mother, Mrs. Carson, had ever done to Jenna! Cristal felt sad and uncomfortable.

Her red lips trembled as she looked at Aldo, tears welling up in her eyes, "Aldo... remember what you said! How dare you treat me like that!"

“I'm going to tell my father and mother to disinvest in Carson Group! That movie your mom invested in is now despised by all the investors.” “Those funds were used to remove the director's scandals and pay marketing expenses. Though the movie was half done, there's no money left. You've offended the Wilson Group which decides to not invest any more money."

"Aldo, think about the consequences of offending me!"

Cristal felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife.

In which aspect she was inferior to Jenna?

She was from a good family with good looks and great abilities. She had been the PR manager for Chan Group since she graduated and had perfect responded to several PR crises.

How could she not compare to that poor-educated and plain-looking orphan?

Cristal wiped her tears and walked towards her car.

She raised her head.

One day, she would make Aldo find out how good she was!

Golden Restaurant.

Sylvia sat beside Jenna. A smile appeared on her cool face. "Why did you come back for the competition? How are you doing? How did the surgery go?"

Jenna looked at her shyly. "The first surgery has been done, and the next surgery will continue.”

She came to the competition because of Brayden's encouragement. She could not only play the harp, but also the piano.

If Brayden hadn't encouraged her to go on stage, she wouldn't have made it.

But she knew that she had to remove the wall that she built to protect herself from the outside world.

She could no longer be the fragile girl that depended on others. She gotta break down the walls.

She gotta be brave and resolute.

“Looks are quite important for both boys and girls. Since there's a chance to recover your appearance, you should seize it, though the process is painstaking. So, it's very important for you to be strong.” Sylvia patted her hand.

Jenna kept brainwashing herself by repeating “I'm the best. I can do it" in her mind.

Her bright eyes fell on Sylvia, and then she said, "Thank you for helping me find a doctor. Thanks to Mr. And Mrs. Wright, and Brayden, I got where I am. I'm also grateful to Uncle Aldo for taking care of me for years, but ... I never had the feeling of closeness with him..."

"I used to rely on him because I thought of him as the closest person to me, but ... it turned out that the closest person to him wasn't me." Jenna said in a choked voice, but she did not cry.

She had to become strong. So, she couldn't just cry.

“I know you all are genuinely kind to me. I'll repay Uncle Aldo for raising me up, and I will also repay the kindness you all have shown me." Sylvia had always known that Jenna was autistic who had shown great improvement years of therapy.

Today on stage, the confrontation between Jenna and Tyler shocked Sylvia and made her feel that Jenna had improved and changed quite a bit.

She even confronted someone and gave a slap in Tyler's face.

Her progress was impressive!

Now she even worded her gratitude, which reassured Sylvia.

She felt a sense of relief.

Mrs. Wright was the most excited one. She felt proud of Jenna. "Jenna really changes a lot. When she just came to my place, it was heartbreaking to watch her not talk or eat."

"Jenna did well this time, and she advanced to the finals directly.” Mayor Cody smiled, his eyes with a hint of encouragement.

"Mom, Dad, we're going back to Aettosa tomorrow. Since she advanced, there's no reason for her to stay in the country for the next round, and she'll have to continue her therapy before the finals start." Brayden said as he picked up food for both of his parents.

"OK, I'll wait for you both at home. Jenna, you should not be too tired, otherwise it will prevent a speedy recovery.” Mrs. Wright advised carefully.

Sylvia sent several piano songs and some practice tips to Jenna's phone. “Let me know if you don't understand anything."

They finished their meal and came out, only to run into Aldo and Cristal coming out of the box across the hall.

Mrs. Carson and Jeff, and Mr. and Mrs. Chan and Elvis were also there.

Both parties were stunned. A hint of jealousy flashed through her eyes when she saw Jenna being with the Wrights and Sylvia.

But soon ... she suppressed the jealousy.

Jenna was an orphan, but she was able to get Master Keturah's favor. She must have been taken in by Master Keturah as a disciple, and that was why she got such a good result in the preliminary round.

On the contrary, she had offended Master Keturah so thoroughly in the first place. This realization made Cristal feel a pang in her heart. "Mayor Cody, hello!"

Zaire, Cristal's father was the first to react and hurriedly reached out to shake hands with Mayor Cody.

Mayor Cody smiled lightly, "Mr. Chan, it's been a long time."

Elvis also said hello to Brayden.

Mrs. Carson looked Jenna up and down, almost from head to toe, seemingly watching commodities.

Finally she said, "This is Master Keturah, isn't it? I can't believe that you and Master Keturah are so close to dine together."

Sylvia's eyebrows were raised, and her almond eyes were cold. Sylvia curled her lips and flicked her nails carelessly, "Mrs. Carson, there are many people who have a good relationship with me, like Brock, Poppy. Even poisonous scorpions can't scare you to tell the truth. You really impress me. *

"You!" Mrs. Carson's face suddenly changed and turned purple.
