Chapter 669 Snobbish Provocation

Yara was displeased to know that Natalie was chosen.

On the flipside, Jacqueline was exuding confidence as she anticipated her victory. She smirked at Cassidy. “Cassie,

all you have to do is give me an applause later…”

Cassidy nodded in agreement.

The sequence of their performances was in accordance with their ascending numbers. Yara would be the first to

perform followed by Jacqueline and Natalie.

Before the Shine Charity Gala, Yara had been practicing the piano.

She started playing the song “Ambush” gracefully, stirring up ripples of emotions among the audience. Everyone

was immersed in the melodic tune, indulging in the serenity it brought to them.

Natalie swirled her glass of champagne as she stared at Yara.

Oh, my dear sister…

If you had the right mentality, you would have achieved much more in life.

Sadly, there’s no “if” in life. One may have the greatest talent or the most beautiful look, but the person will never

succeed without the right attitude and mentality.

After the song ended, the audience applauded boisterously.

Outsiders may have perceived Yara’s performance to be flawless, but experts could easily identify the lack of skills

and emotions in her play.

Seeing Yara who bowed to the audience and left the stage, Jacqueline smiled triumphantly.

While Yara may have performed at an above-average standard, it was far from perfect.

Jacquelin believed that she would outperform Natalie significantly with her beautiful voice and that the latter would

inevitably be overshadowed by her.

After walking up the stage, she made a gesture toward the control room.

Immediately, the most difficult part of the song, “Phantom” was played. Following the melody, Jacqueline started

singing with her pure, innocent voice. She managed to reproduce the intricacies of the song perfectly, be it the

pitch or the tune.

Immediately, the ambiance turned into the elitist society of the sixteenth century. Everyone could relate to the

hardship and loneliness endured by the main character in the song.

“She must be a professional. It’s so good!” Diane could not resist complimenting Jacqueline.

Natalie nodded. “Indeed. She’s really good.”

After conversing with Diane, Natalie looked up and noticed Jacqueline’s provocative and scornful stare.

She knitted her eyebrows. Am I reading too much into this?

Jacqueline rounded up her performance by showing off her impressive mastery of singing techniques, drastically

increasing the difficulty of the song. Expectedly, the audience went wild with cheers.

A round of applause filled the air as she concluded her performance.

Someone from the audience yelled, “Bravo!”

Jacqueline bowed to the audience with a triumphant smile on her face.

She was especially pleased when she saw Diane giving her a standing ovation. At that moment, she felt that all her

efforts were worth it as she managed to snatch some attention away from Natalie.

Meanwhile, the socialites around Yara started adding fuel to the fire.

“Yara, she’s outshining you with her performance!”

“That’s right! What a shame!”

“Well, no one could have matched her splendid performance.”

“No wonder you didn’t look so good when you saw that Jacqueline was chosen. Anyone would have looked like a

fool in comparison to Jacqueline. If even you ended completely losing to her, I have no doubt that Natalie will be

utterly humiliated on stage later.”

Yara ignored their snarky comments, and simply pursed her lips in a contemptuous manner.

While it was not a pleasant experience having to face Jacqueline, Natalie was the main reason behind her

frustration.

If there was one thing that Yara was certain about, it was the fact that Natalie would not end up humiliating herself

on stage later.

Before long, it was Natalie’s turn to perform.

Jacqueline and Natalie bumped into each other in the waiting area.

“Ms. Nichols, if you don’t have any talents, I’d suggest you pick some modern or children’s song to sing on stage. I

doubt it matters what kind of performance you’ll throw since Lady Diane seems to favor you anyway.” Jacqueline

blinked innocently while uttering the scornful statement.
