Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
It was rare for Sara to be modest.
“Actually, it’s all the result of Jane’s own hard work. Unlike others, she doesn’t divide her mind into several things every day and doesn’t waste her studies because of a love relationship. Apart from studying, the rest of the time is spent practicing the piano.”
As she spoke, her eyes fell on Cora…
How could Cora not know that what Sara said just now was dissing her?
Sara said that she was very good at scheming and deliberately mentioned in front of Nora about her relationship with Eason during college.
The reason Sara hurt her like this was nothing more than to show how well-behaved, motivated, and clean Jane was in front of Nora.
“I watched Jane grow up. This kid has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, and now she is so beautiful and dignified, which is incomparable to those wild women outside. I suppose Byron was just fascinated by other women outside for a while. And when he comes to his senses, he will definitely understand how wrong he was.”
Nora seemed to be chatting with Sara, but there was no way Cora didn’t understand Nora was also putting her down.
“Wild women”
and
“women outside”
were all referring to her.
To demote her to nothing was to highlight Jane’s purity and nobility.
What made Cora most uncomfortable was that Nora had hinted at Jane and Sara so clearly that Byron would definitely change his mind…
Although she also knew that the so-called opportunity given by Nora to be accepted by the Hansen family was just a tactic to play both soft and hard so as not to cause the two parties to quarrel at this stage, and Nora would still find various reasons to reject her later.
However, when Nora openly expressed in front of so many people that the doors of the Hansen family are only open for Jane, which ultimately disappointed Cora.
Especially now, after Sara talked with Nora, they looked at her with great pride.
Although the other wealthy ladies were not as obvious as Sara, they looked at her more or less with sarcasm, which made her feel that she had been serving everyone here for a long time, but it was just a joke…
With the piano music that Jane devoted herself to playing, Cora suddenly felt that all this was quite boring.
During the whole time, she tried her best to think about Nora and the Hansen family and tried to suppress her bad temper and not cause trouble so as not to embarrass them.
But in the end, they made her feel so embarrassed, so why did she have to hang in so hard?
Therefore, she suddenly threw the tray in her hand on the table.
Although there was nothing on the plate, there was still a big sound when the plate and the table collided.
Such a big sound not only interrupted Jane’s performance but also attracted the eyes of all the ladies present.
Especially Nora, who glared at Cora angrily.
“What’s going on? Don’t you know how to handle things with care? Where are your etiquette and rules?”
Nora was busy praising Jane with Sara just now and didn’t pay attention to the sound of Cora. She thought Cora had made the noise accidentally, so she took this opportunity to teach her a lesson.
In fact, Nora’s idea was also simple. She hoped that in these parties, Cora could understand that she was not worthy of Byron and that the Hansen family would not accept her. So that she would figure all this out, and take the initiative to leave, which also saved Nora from forcibly separating them and thus created a gap with Byron.
Sara looked at Cora’s flirtatious face and sneered in her heart,
“You deserve it! Madam Hansen made it clear that she is making things difficult for you because she would not let you marry into the family.
Who made you shamelessly help her, thinking that hard work can change her attitude? You are such a joke!”
However, considering that it was the party organized by Nora at this moment, and Cora still beard the title of Byron’s fianc?e, she didn’t follow to criticize Cora so as not to be accused of meddling in other’s housework.
Jane also looked at Cora. Although she was playing the piano just now, her eyes were always on her.
She knew that Nora praised her both internally and externally to belittle Cora. She enjoyed this sense of superiority very much and looked forward to knowing how Cora would feel after hearing this.
But Cora chose to express her displeasure in a way that somewhat made her feel a little ridiculous.
Cora looked at the almost cynical expressions of the three of them and roughly guessed what they were thinking.
But it didn’t matter, and she could see that almost all the wealthy ladies in New York now looked at her with similar expressions, and the three of them just ranked relatively high in hatred.
Ignoring Nora’s almost aggressive questioning, Cora straightened the hair hanging from the busy work before and smiled at Nora.
“I just think Miss Yoris plays very poorly. It’s hard for my ears to bear. That’s all.”
As soon as Cora’s words came out, the expressions of almost everyone at the party changed significantly.
Especially Sara, she had always been proud of Jane’s excellence. How could she allow Cora to pick on
Jane like this?
“Jane, who has passed the ninth grade of piano, can’t play well? Then who can play well? Can someone like you play well without even touching the keys of the piano?”
Sara’s expression was unconcealable anger, and even her tone was aggressive.
Nora also followed.
“Dr. Lane, if you don’t understand music, don’t participate in the discussion. This will not help you except for making you a laughingstock of everyone.”
She did not try her best to sneer like Sara, but she still criticized Cora for her ignorance.
That was right. Nora also felt that Cora didn’t understand music. Otherwise, how did she dare to talk so loudly about Jane, who had passed the ninth grade and couldn’t play the piano well?
Jane didn’t criticize Cora as Sara and Nora did. She just smiled and asked Cora,
“If Dr. Lane thinks I can’t play well, you can point it out.”
Her external persona had always been gentle, neither fighting nor pursuing anything.
Especially in front of Nora, even though she was furious because of Cora’s words, she didn’t dare to curse and ruin the persona she had finally established.
But before Cora could respond, she said,
“Of course, if Dr. Lane can’t tell me where I didn’t play well, you can also play a song for me to learn from.”
Yes, Jane asked Cora to point it out, but in fact, she didn’t think Cora could say anything.
After all, Jane had won the grand prize in the New York Piano Competition before, but she had never seen Cora in such a high-level competition.
So she suggested that Cora should play a song for her to learn because she felt that Cora would definitely not be able to play at her level and wanted to embarrass her.
But before Cora responded, Nora said first,
“Didn’t I remind you again and again that if you don’t know how to speak in this situation, just stay silent and do what you should to help?”
In order to prevent offending the Cross family like the last party, Nora warned Cora what she had said before the party started, and this was why Cora served everyone.
And she thought the same as Sara. They had never seen Cora in the piano competition, so they didn’t think she could play anything.
Most importantly, Nora didn’t want to be embarrassed by Cora.
So she tried to persuade Cora with the tone of an elder.
“Don’t make everyone uncomfortable with a small matter and make people think you are too small-minded.”
When Sara heard Jane’s words, she immediately understood what she was thinking.
She couldn’t help but think of the previous wealthy lady’s party. She also coaxed Cora to compete with
Evelyn, trying to make Cora embarrassed, but was slapped in the face by Cora instead.
So she was also a little worried whether there would be another joke like before.
But after thinking about it, Sara, who had been a judge of various piano competitions in New York these years, had never seen Cora. How could such a person play better music than Jane?
Seeing Nora dissuading Cora, Sara suddenly changed into a smiling face.
“It’s okay. Since Dr. Lane thinks that Jane can’t play well, let her play a song for Jane to study, and maybe she can get on the stage?”
She also looked at Cora almost provocatively.
Cora directly ignored Nora’s almost fierce eyes and smiled at Sara and Jane.
“Then I better accept the chance.”
Then, she sat in front of the piano, stroking the black and white keys with her long and slender fingers…
Even though Cora had calmly sat down in front of the piano, Sara’s expression was still contemptuous as always.
Although Jane didn’t show anything, she also mocked Cora’s overreaching in her heart.
Not to mention the others. They all felt that Cora must have played a mess.
After all, those who participated in the music appreciation party held by Nora today more or less knew how to play the piano, and many of them had won awards in the New York Piano Competition.
They had never seen Cora in those competitions, so they naturally thought that even if she could play the piano, she was at an amateur level and not even qualified to compete.
Even Nora put on a sarcastic smile.
Initially, she wanted Cora to stay with Byron for a while longer, but she shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless if she was so ungrateful.
At the moment, she was already planning to use the joke made by Cora at the music appreciation party to persuade Byron to end this relationship so as not to become a joke to the whole of New York because of her.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cora’s fingertips touched the black and white keys.
The brisk music made everyone impressed.
Especially Sara and Jane stared at Cora with almost bewildered eyes.
But at this time, Cora seemed to have forgotten everything around her and gradually entered a better state. The original cheerful and lyrical tune suddenly became very passionate with the smooth accompaniment of her left hand, like countless horses galloping fiercely!
“This is…
Chopin’s etude in F Minor? How could she know this…
This is a tenth-level repertoire.”
Sara was so surprised that even her words were broken, and Jane, let alone, was speechless.
She thought that Cora’s achievements in the medical field were indeed higher than hers for the time being. However, her achievements in the piano would definitely not surpass hers. After all, her mother was a famous pianist in New York.
But how could she expect that the repertoire that popped up by Cora was the same tenth-level advanced repertoire as Sara’s?
Jane had always been complacent and thought that Cora’s behavior would embarrass her, but it ended up being a big slap on her face!
Especially at this moment, the other wealthy ladies, who also had some achievements in the piano, unconsciously showed appreciation when listening to the piece played by Cora, which made Jane feel her whole face was hot.
“She demonstrated stunning piano skills.”
