?Chapter 590:


    Pe let out a softugh. “You’re just as cute as ever. I feel the same way, though. I’ll never ept another mentor.”


    “Same here. No one can sway me, either. Her grand ambition to be our mentor will fall t,” Ashton chimed in. “Still, we’ve all finished performing. Where is our mentor? Why hasn’t she shown up? Could something have happened to her?”


    “Tiana is awesome. She should be fine…” Pe’s brow creased, a hint of worry tugging at her.


    The prince tapped at his phone, trying Tiana’s number, but each attempt failed to connect. “I can’t get through. Maybe she’s just busy. But if anyone tries to hurt her, I’ll make sure they regret it.”


    Meanwhile, Christina had already taken her seat at the piano on stage. The guests watched as the three piano masters merely nced in her direction before looking away as if she didn’t exist.


    “Just look at them. They’re not giving her a bit of attention. She has no hope.”


    “Maybe she’ll surprise us all with her ying.”


    “Oh,e on! Don’t be ridiculous…”


    “She’s way too arrogant. This will just end in embarrassment for her.”


    “Poor Brendon. Imagine once being married to someone so loud and desperate for attention. It must be a stain on his reputation…”


    Most people in the audience were eager for Christina to fail, though a handful quietly wished for a twist. But as soon as the opening notes of the piano piece rang out, whatever hope they had faded instantly.


    Only Pe, Ashton, and the Prince snapped to attention, their eyes wide as they stared at Christina. Could she actually be Tiana? Taunts and derisive smirks erupted among the guests.


    “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? Is this some kind of joke? That’s a song for children. My daughter yed it when she was five.”


    “There’s nothing impressive about it. How could she expect a simple tune like this to win over the three maestros?”


    “It’s ridiculous. If she wanted to prove herself, she should have picked something difficult. This is just embarrassing.”

    “Take a look, the three maestros actually seem intrigued. Do you think she stands a chance?”


    “I doubt it. They’re probably just trying not tough. They are too well-bred to embarrass her in front of so many people.”


    Most of the guests snickered and whispered behind their hands,pletely unaware that Pe, Ashton, and the Prince sat with tense shoulders, their eyes bright with hope as they watched Christina. Tiana loved ying this piece. While it sounded simple to everyone else, she added her own twist whenever she yed. Once Christina finished, they’d finally know if it was really their mentor sitting at the piano.


    Lorraine let out a scornfulugh. “What an idiot. She actually has the nerve to perform with such average skills. She must not have any shame.”


    Yvonne, standing nearby, kept her thoughts to herself, but a satisfied smirk tugged at her lips. There was no way Christina could win the bet tonight. Christina’s defeat was all but certain, and she couldn’t wait for her to be thoroughly embarrassed.


    Across the room, the five people who had each wagered five million against Christina wore smug expressions. They were sure they would cash in tonight and get their revenge at the same time. Nothing could ruin this moment.
