Chapter 77: Chapter 77

The piano exchange conference of the music department was highly regarded by the school and was held with much grandeur.

Everyone who attended was dressed extraordinarily bright, except for Serena Everett, who dressed very casually. However, no matter how casually she dressed, her pretty porcelain-white face still caught the eyes of countless people.

"Serena, you finally made it!" Dean Hughes’s face lit up with delight when he saw her and hurried over to greet, "I was worried you wouldn’t come!"

"I won’t." Serena’s tone was indifferent, "Dean Hughes, remember your promise to me, don’t pester me anymore in the future!"

What she promised, she would definitely fulfill. She didn’t like breaking promises.

"Of course, of course, Serena, if you still don’t want to transfer to our music department after today’s piano exchange conference, I’ll definitely stop pestering you!"

Dean Hughes wore a sly smile; today’s piano exchange conference had invited many influential figures, and since he knew these big shots, as long as he introduced her, her music career would be smooth sailing from then on.

He just couldn’t believe Serena wouldn’t be moved!

No matter what, he had to keep such good talent around!

Unlike Dean Hughes, who was all smiles, Cassia Everett stood not far away watching this scene, clenching her teeth in jealousy and anger.

Yet her face showed none of it, as she walked over with a gentle smile.

"Dean Hughes, you’re the host of today’s piano exchange conference, and many things need your attention, so let me take care of my sister!"

"I’ve attended more of these events and am more experienced than my sister, so I can certainly take good care of her!"

Her words, at first glance, seemed very considerate, but upon closer examination, they implied that Serena was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Dean Hughes didn’t catch the underlying meaning in her words, but seeing her so understanding, he felt an increased fondness for her.

"Alright, alright, then I’ll leave Serena in your care; I have other matters to attend to!"

"Don’t worry, Dean Hughes!"

After seeing Dean Hughes off, the smile on Cassia’s face instantly faded quite a bit, as she proactively reached out to hold Serena’s hand.

But Serena coldly dodged it without hesitation, causing Cassia’s expression to freeze for a moment before it returned to normal, though her eyes filled with even more resentment.

"Sister, I know you just returned from the countryside and haven’t attended such high-end piano conferences yet, but don’t worry, I will teach you well."

Serena lifted her extremely pretty fox-like eyes and looked at her coolly, "No need, you can leave."

For some reason, when faced with Serena’s gaze, Cassia felt as if her thoughts were completely read, but she quickly dismissed this notion internally.

She had been discreet, there was no way Serena could find out!

Thinking this, Cassia felt more at ease, showing a hint of grievance on her face, "Sister, I don’t know why you dislike me so much, I just want to help you!"

Cassia deliberately spoke loudly to draw the attention of the crowd.

The people there whispered as they watched the scene.

"Cassia has good intentions, how can Serena act !"

"Exactly, exactly, no good deed goes unpunished..."

Hearing these comments, a smugness flashed in Cassia’s eyes, though her face still wore a kind expression as she spoke.

"Sister, I have something to discuss with you, let’s talk over there! I don’t want them gossiping about you anymore!"

"Alright." Serena lazily agreed, lightly tugging her rich, moist red lips, "Let’s go."

Seeing Serena agree, Cassia’s eyes filled with even more smugness; everything was indeed under her control!

She had intentionally spoken loudly to draw attention, causing Serena, for the sake of her reputation, to agree to her request.

Cassia sinisterly curled her lips, a vicious glint in her eyes.

She was determined not to let Serena shine today! The one to gain Graham Tate’s recognition today could only be her, and the place in The Pianist Guild, only hers!

Serena’s red lips formed a mocking arc as she lazily followed Cassia to the restroom. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net

The restroom here was situated in a remote location, rarely frequented, very quiet.

Once certain no one was around, Cassia’s expression changed, and her eyes bore a venomous look at her, "Serena, don’t even think about competing with me for a spot in The Pianist Guild! The one who deserves to be in it is me!"

No sooner than her words fell, she reached out to push Serena into the restroom, but before she could touch Serena, her hand was pinned back.

"Tsk, with such petty tricks you intend to harm me?"

Listening to Serena’s arrogant and disdainful tone, Cassia was infuriated, but with her arm restrained and unable to move, she could only speak in a voice filled with hatred.

"Let go, Serena, if you injure my hand, I’ll never let you off... Ah..."

A "slap" interrupted Cassia’s words, with Serena’s cool voice slowly emerging.

"Yesterday’s group of thugs was also arranged by you. I haven’t held it against you, yet instead of restraining yourself, you’ve only escalated, seems I’ve been too lenient with you."

How did Serena know about the thugs yesterday that were orchestrated by her?!

Cassia’s face changed abruptly, but the pain emanating from her cheek deepened her resentment, "So what if it was me, you shouldn’t have tried to compete with me for a spot in The Pianist Guild!"

Ever since this b*tch Serena returned, all the family’s affection was showered on her, and even the engagement to Damian Quinn was hers, how could she not hate?!

Now, she even wanted to compete for a spot in The Pianist Guild, and she couldn’t tolerate it.

"The Pianist Guild?" Serena spoke in a rather unconcerned manner, "They were begging me to join before, and I already refused."

"Liar!" Cassia’s eyes turned even more venomous, ridiculing as she spoke, "Who do you think you are, for The Pianist Guild to beg you to join? It’s laughable, you shameless country bumpkin, speaking such nonsense!"

Serena lightly clicked her tongue against her back teeth with a tinge of irritation.

Why didn’t anyone believe her when she was being truthful?

"Serena, I’m telling you, let me go right now, or I’ll never let you off..."

Serena was tired of her rubbish, those extremely beautiful fox-like eyes blinked lightly, and in the next second, she kicked Cassia directly into the restroom.

Caught off guard, Cassia was kicked into the restroom, and in the next instant, a basin of foul-smelling waste was poured over her head, making Cassia, overwhelmed by the stench, almost vomit.

"Oh my, Cassia, why are you the one who came in?!"
