Chapter 303 

After dinner, Charlie and Penelope took their leave to go home first

Judith invited Susan and Ben to stick around for a casual gettogether

Even though they called it a gettogether, it was just an intimate affair with no one from outside their small circle

+5 

Judith had prepared some exquisite pastries for everyone, and they all chatted and talked together

Penny stood up on her own initiative, speaking in a gentle voice, Shall I play a piano piece for you?” 

Judith smiled at Susan, Penny’s been learning to play the piano since she was six and she’s even won international recognition. We’re in for a real performance.” 

Susan nodded, looking forward to Penny’s performance with anticipation

Penny was left speechless

The naive and sweet look on Susan’s face almost made her lose all motivation to compete

No way! She couldn’t let the enemy break her resolve

Penny thought to herself, Susan must be pretending to be foolish.” 

She must not be deceived by Susan’s act

Penny took a deep breath, performed an elegant curtsy, and then sat down at the piano

Miss Nicholas’s demeanor is so graceful,complimented Susan

Penny’s every move was indeed beautiful

After all, she had undergone years of deportment training; every stillness and motion was exquisitely graceful

Chapter 303 

Penny found herself tonguetied

Listening to this praise, she was definitely not pleased

She indeed intended to show off her grace

But she did this to make Susan feel inferior and jealous, not to receive her sincere admiration

After several such exchanges, Penny came to understand that without ever directly confronting her

Susan proved to be a tough cookie: her nature made her formidable

Penny took another deep breath, controlled her emotions, and then placed her hands on the piano

This time, to show off her superior skills and to make Susan feel envious, jealous, and hateful, Penny chose a difficult piece. 

Moonlight Sonata” 

A piano piece was both widely known and technically challenging

Penny had practiced the piece many times

Now, with the intention of making a striking impression, she played to the fullest of her abilities

After her performance of the Moonlight Sonata, it was truly magnificent. She hit all the right notes, both. emotionally and technically

At the end of the piece, Penny couldn’t wait to see Susan’s expression

Was it envy? Jealousy? Or hatred

She was suddenly looking forward to it

And then, she saw Susan genuinely and heartily applauding

A round of applause filled the house

Penny’s smile didn’t quite reach her eyes

This was not the reaction she wanted

She wanted Susan to slam the table and storm off

With a smile, Susan remarked, Being a science major, I figured art was out of my league, but hearing this live, I’ve really come to appreciate the piano’s beauty. Miss Nicholas’s playing is something else.” 

Judith couldn’t help but laugh, Penny’s level, compared to those masters, is still far behind. If you like it, I’ll take you to that concert hall some time.” 

Judith said this partly out of modesty and partly as a matter of fact

Penny pursed her lips, feeling a trace of displeasure.. 

She believed her piano skills had already reached a professional level, how could they be inferior to those masters

Was her Mom saying this to start sidelining her, laying the groundwork for Susan’s favor

The more Penny mulled it over, the more her thoughts spiraled, leading her to impulsively say, I’m definitely no match for the experts. But I’m curious about Mrs. Landor’s talents. Maybe she could show us what she’s got.” 

Susan was momentarily stunned

Ben laughed

Judith and Eason looked at Penny with some surprise

Penny was visibly moved as she turned to Susan and said, Back in Tonico, the daughters of high society usually play an instrument, be it piano, violin, or harp. Mrs. Landor, which do you play? We have a variety of instruments here, so whatever your choice, I’m sure we can accommodate you.” 

Susan held her gaze for a moment before a slight smile appeared, Sorry, I don’t play any instruments.”

Judith held onto Susan’s hand with a hint of nervousness, Remember, an instrument is just a tool. If you can’t play, it’s not a big deal.” 

Susan herself didn’t think it was a big deal. She smiled and said, I didn’t have the conditions to learn an instrument when I was young. If I had, maybe I would have learned.” 

Hearing this, Judith felt a pang of heartache

She had later looked through the materials, understanding very well the life Susan had when she was 

young

The Millers would have taken everything Susan had to offer if they could; they didn’t even care about her wellbeing, let alone let her learn to play an instrument

Bringing up this topic felt like twisting the knife in Susan’s heart

If you want to learn, I can find you a teacher. We can treat it as a hobby, no pressure to learn,said Judith

Susan shook her head with a smile, Forget it. I’m sure I don’t have the talent.”
