Chapter 285 - 285: Kelly’s Appreciation
After learning that the person playing the guitar at this moment was Freya’s fiance, Adam was somewhat shocked, so he followed Zander to the innermost part of the crowd.
Because the audience present knew the identities of Adam and Kelly, they voluntarily made way for them.
But when Adam saw Connor’s appearance, a surprised expression appeared on his face. He didn’t expect Freya’s fiance to be such an ordinary guy.
On the other hand, Kelly, Adam’s girlfriend, looked at Connor with interest and said lightly, “This guy’s tune is quite interesting. I haven’t heard it before, and the style of this piece is very unique. It seems that he is a master of the guitar!” “It’s his honor to receive Miss Kelly’s praise!” Zander replied with a somewhat envious tone.
He never expected that Connor, a poor delivery boy, would actually be appreciated by Kelly.
Kelly belonged to the Turner family, which was already a powerful family, and now that they were combining forces with the Lawson family, both families would undoubtedly achieve higher levels.
“Miss Kelly, you may not be aware that Mr. Connor is not only skilled on the guitar, but also on the piano. His recent rendition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 was very excellent. Even Justin was defeated by him! ” Mrs .Mrs. James, the Collective Stroke instructor, approached Kelly with a grin.
“He can play the piano as well. It seems he has some talent!” She was even more amazed.
Adam sensed Kelly’s intent and turned to Zander, saying, “After he finishes playing the guitar, ask him to come to the VIP room to find us. My girlfriend wants to ask him a question! ”
“Okay, I’ll let him come over later!” Zander nodded without hesitation.
“Kelly, let’s go upstairs!”
Adam walked towards the fourth-floor VIP room.
Kelly gave Connor a sideways look before following Adam upstairs.
Connor plucked the final string on the guitar a few minutes later.
The soothing sound of the guitar abruptly ceased, yet everyone remained engrossed in the song.
Freya, Priscilla, and Maya finally realized why Connor dared to compete with Hailey. Despite the fact that his work was not well-known, the impact of his performance considerably outweighed Hailey’s River Flows In You!
The winner of the tournament was obvious to everyone!
Connor took a deep breath, gently opened his eyes, and asked the audience, “Who won?”
The judges were all astonished when they heard Connor’s statements and gazed at him hopelessly.
Everyone knew he had won, but they were too hesitant to say anything for fear of upsetting Hailey.
Meanwhile, Hailey was frozen in place, unwilling to comprehend that she had lost.
“I think we should call it a draw! ” she said to Connor.
“A draw? Why should it be a draw?’’ Freya was the first to speak up, raising her voice. “Connor’s performance just now was obviously better than yours. Everyone heard it. How can it be considered a draw?”
“Yeah, Hailey, aren’t you a bit shameless?” Maya exclaimed with her round eyes widened.
“Why am 1 shameless? If you’re not convinced, let Mrs.Mrs. James announce the result of the competition! ” Hailey shouted loudly, then turned her head to look atMrs. James with an excited expression. ‘’MrsMrs. James, who won between the two of us today?”
Hailey s family, the Jacobs, had enormous power in the Phillips Manor.
So Hailey was certain thatMrs. James would speak on her behalf. Even if it were not to her advantage, he would proclaim a tie to avoid insulting both parties. This was the outcome she desired.
James hesitated for two seconds and then slowly said, “Hailey, your performance of the piece ‘River Flows In You’ just now was indeed very good. On the other hand, this composition is one of the top ten guitar pieces in Oprana and has a high degree of praise. So, based just on today’s competition, I believe you are somewhat inferior!”
“What?”
Hailey s face instantly turned ugly upon hearing these words. She never expected thatMrs. James would actually speak in favor of Connor at this moment.
Although she knew she had indeed lost to him today, she never expected thatMrs. James wouldn’t give her any face!
“Yes, I also think Connor won!”
“Indeed, Connor won!1‘
After hearingMrs. James’ words, the other judges echoed in agreement.
James was not a fool. Even Kelly had shown interest in Connor just now and even asked him to come to the VIP room. If he declared that Connor had lost or it was a draw, all Connor had to do was say something negative about him in front of Kelly, and his job might be at risk.
SoMrs. James chose to announce the competition results fairly.
“Hailey, did you hear what Mrs.Mrs. James said? Everyone thinks you lost. You don’t still think it’s a draw, do you?” Maya stepped forward, sounding very proud as she shouted at Hailey.
Hailey hesitated for two seconds, then shouted loudly, “Fine, are you all ganging up on me? Just you wait, I will come back for revenge…”
After saying these words, she turned around and wanted to leave.
First, her boyfriend Justin had lost to Connor on the piano, and now she had lost to him on the guitar She had no more dignity to stay there.
Maya saw that she was about to leave and hurriedly chased after her, trying to stop her.
“Maya, don’t chase after her!” Freya whispered.
“Why shouldn’t I chase after her? She hasn’t even apologized to you yet!” Maya said angrily.
“She is not worth it. Besides, if you really make her kneel down, who knows what trouble she might cause? We don’t need to escalate the situation like this,” Freya explained helplessly.
“She is truly shameless!” Maya exclaimed.
Connor, on the other hand, stood calmly in place, enjoying the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd.
This was also the first time he received recognition from others not just for money. He immensely enjoyed this feeling.
“Connor, Miss Kelly and Mr. Adam want you to come to the VIP room upstairs!”
Zander s attitude towards Connor had clearly improved a lot. He walked up to Connor with a smile on his face..
