Chapter 79: Chapter 79

"Not a word of today’s incident is to be spoken!"

Cassia Everett had finally washed off all the filth from herself, but she still felt utterly nauseated inside, and she gave Yara Shawnessy a vicious warning.

She was, after all, a daughter of the esteemed Everett Family and a prominent figure at Imperia University. If word got out that she had been doused with filth, she would become the laughingstock!

She absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen!

Seeing her in this state, Yara Shawnessy shrank back in fear, nodding repeatedly, "Don’t worry, Cassia, I won’t breathe a word about today!"

Cassia cast a venomous glance at her, then wasted no more time and strode towards the conference hall.

The piano exchange meeting today had invited Graham Tate, the Chairman of The Pianist Guild!

If she could gain Graham Tate’s favor, she could smoothly enter The Pianist Guild! Once she was in, there would be no comparing her to that bitch Serena Everett!

Inside the hall, Graham Tate was already surrounded by everyone, all eager to curry favor with him, just for that sole opportunity to enter The Pianist Guild.

"Are you Cassia Everett?"

Being suddenly named by Graham Tate, Cassia was first surprised, then overcome with immense joy.

Graham Tate was the chairman of the national Pianist Guild, with such a prestigious status, and he actually remembered her! Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴovelfire.net

"Oh my God, Cassia, who would’ve thought Chairman Tate knows you! It just shows how outstanding you are!" Yara whispered in her ear, flattering her.

Noticing the envious glances from everyone, Cassia grew even more smug, but outwardly, she maintained the perfect amount of humility, "Yes, Chairman Tate, that’s me."

She knew that with her excellence, she was sure to get Graham Tate’s appreciation!

"Oh." Graham Tate looked her up and down, nodding, "So you are Cassia Everett! Alright, noted."

Cassia suppressed her inner triumph, intentionally speaking coquettishly, "It’s an honor to be remembered by you, Chairman Tate! I happen to have some questions about the piano that I’d like to consult you on!"

This tactic worked wonders on men; not a single man could refuse it!

Sure enough, Graham Tate smiled, but there was an inexplicable coldness about it.

"Consultation is unnecessary, coincidentally, I have something to tell you."

With these words, those present were filled with envy and couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice.

"Oh my, Chairman Tate is treating Cassia Everett so specially, he must really appreciate her..."

"Exactly, precisely. This year’s lone spot to enter The Pianist Guild is definitely hers. Alas, we can all leave now!"

"Yeah, probably what Chairman Tate has to say is to announce that Cassia Everett is the one who gets the only spot to enter The Pianist Guild this year..."

Hearing these whispers, Cassia’s eyes sparkled with determination and her heart swelled with pride.

Hahaha, the sole spot into The Pianist Guild this year would be hers! That bitch Serena Everett better not try to compete with her for anything!

But before she could relish her triumph, Graham Tate’s cold voice sounded again.

"Consider this a notice; you’ve been blacklisted by The Pianist Guild and will never be allowed to join in the future."

The sudden reversal froze the smug expression on Cassia’s face in an instant, even the onlookers widened their eyes in shock.

"Chairman Tate, you must be joking, right?" Cassia looked at him incredulously, "Why would The Pianist Guild blacklist me?"

Never being able to enter The Pianist Guild would completely ruin her music career!

Graham Tate looked at her with utter disdain, "Who told you to offend the very person you shouldn’t have?"

Offending the very precious member of The Pianist Guild, and still wanting to join? Continue your dreaming!

Who was this person she shouldn’t have offended?

Cassia’s face turned ashen and she wanted to pursue the matter, but Graham Tate gave her no opportunity, snorting coldly at her, and turned away, as if another glance at her would sully his eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, who on earth did she offend? To make Chairman Tate so furious and to be barred forever from The Pianist Guild..."

"Indeed, indeed, let’s stay far away from her, lest Chairman Tate dislikes us too!"

Previously, they were how envious of Cassia Everett, now they were just as disdainful, treating her like a virus, avoiding her at all costs.

Cassia had never experienced such treatment—being a member of the Everett Family, she was always the object of admiration, never had she been looked down upon .

She was shaking with rage, her nails almost breaking.

"Cassia, look, Chairman Tate is heading towards that country bumpkin Serena Everett..."

Hearing this, Cassia hurried to look, and nearly fainted from anger.

Graham Tate, who had expressed utmost disdain towards her, was smiling so fawningly in front of Serena Everett.

"Serena, I just vented severely for you, I’ve permanently blacklisted Cassia Everett, she’ll never enter The Pianist Guild again, and her music career ends here!" Graham Tate smiled at Serena, "If you’re still not satisfied, I’ll notify other associations to completely blacklist Cassia Everett!"

The Pianist Guild had always been protective of their own, whoever dared to offend their precious member, no matter who they were, would be dealt with the same way.

And if the other elders of The Pianist Guild were there, Cassia Everett’s end would’ve been far worse, truth be told, he was too kind!

Serena’s tone was lazy, clearly not taking Cassia Everett seriously, nor even bothering to deal with her.

Since Cassia’s parents died and she had been living with Jocelyn and Ivan Everett, who treated her like their own daughter with deep affection, as long as Cassia didn’t cross her line, she would tolerate her for the sake of her parents.

But if she crossed that line, dealing with her would be as simple as squashing an ant.

"Cassia, look at how Chairman Tate behaves in front of Serena Everett, I know now, it must be her who instigated Chairman Tate to embarrass you publicly! She’s shameless enough to seduce Chairman Tate with her vixen face, leaving Graham Tate spinning around her, Serena is simply too shameless!"

Listening to Yara’s words, Cassia’s face showed even more dismay, though she knew full well that with Damian Quinn as Serena’s fiancé, it was impossible for her to seduce Graham Tate, but there was no way she would reveal Serena’s engagement to Damian Quinn, she was still biding her time to drive Serena out of the Everett Family, hoping the engagement with the Quinn Family would fall to her someday!

Cassia’s eyes grew even more sinister, "You’re right, it must be that shameless Serena who seduced Chairman Tate, which is why he treated me !"
