Chapter 999


    The folks of Summerfield College always seemed to carry a certain air of pride in their bones,


    perpetually looking down on others. Even when they were in the wrong, they would never admit it.


    “So someone messed up their performance earlier?" Someone from Westerly College began to jeer.


    "With that arrogant, self-important air about you, I thought you were something special. But this is all


    you''ve got?"


    "So the musical genius of Summerfield College isn''t all that after all."


    This provoked the Summerfield crowd, who began to retort: "Who are you talking about?"


    Westerly College fired back: "Whoever the cap fits. It seems the top-notch students the prestigious


    college churns out are all hot-headed and impatient. If I didn''t know any better, I''d think your cafeteria


    only serves jpenos because everyone seems to be on a short fuse."


    Summerfield College retaliated, “Do you have any proof that Emma messed up? If not, you''d best


    apologize to her right now, or we, the people of Summerfield College, will not let this slide."


    Westerly College: “The top scorer says Emma messed up, so she messed up.


    “Enough! Can''t you ever stop?" Emma could no longer hold back and snapped at them, “Would you all


    please shut up?"


    She was tired of hearing them repeatedly bring up her mistake.


    Serena, who was standing on the side, was left speechless by the whole spectacle.


    Arabe was Maestro Melody. If she said Emma messed up, then she definitely did. She was a master


    pianist, for crying out loud!


    Even if they couldn''t recognize Arabe as a master, Emma''s reaction should have been enough. Yet,


    they were oblivious and insensitively making a spectacle of themselves.


    Serena was exasperated but tried her best to stay under the radar, not wanting to draw Arabe’s


    attention. Arabe was known for not giving face to anyone. It would be a huge embarrassment if she


    exposed Serena''s fake rich girl act in thisrge crowd.


    The crowd fell silent once again, until surprise gasps erupted from the Summerfield College group.


    “Nancy Austin, your family is something else. Another $3 million for a piece by Ms. Mirabelle."


    “Wow, this painting is incredible."


    "Is $3 million just pocket change for the Austin family?"


    "They''re so rich.


    Mirabelle was a master artist renowned in the art world. She was highly respected in the art world.


    With her exquisite painting skills, fluid strokes, and bold creations, she single-handedly elevated the art


    of painting to new heights.


    Every piece of her work achieved a bnce of form and spirit, filled with life and vitality. She was a


    significant figure in the art world, admired by many.


    “Mirabelle is my favorite artist, bar none.” Nancy smiled gently and said, "My parents know how much I


    love her work, so they try to acquire her pieces for me whenever they can. This is hertest work,


    ‘Mountain River’. Her technique is simply iparable."


    The crowd admired the new piece on her phone, nodding in agreement.


    "Yes, capturing the spirit and form, which are the most challenging aspects of a painting, she does it so


    well. Truly admirable."


    “Other artists eitherck in expression or fail to capture the spirit. But with Mirabelle’s work, not only is


    the style refreshing, but it''s also distinctively personal. I''m one of her fans, too."

    “Your parents are so good to you, helping you collect Mirabelle’s work.


    They''re like the perfect parents."


    “My parents don''t seem to be like yours."
