A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 330

Back on the stage, Sierra turned around and was about to leave, but the judge called out to her.

"Sierra Shaw, right? I've heard about you. You won second place in the Marisol Cup, yet you're more famous than the champion."

Sierra felt a little nervous and nodded obediently. "Yes, that's me."

"You've made great strides this time. More to the point, you didn't make a single mistake."

"I found you to be quite promising too, especially when we're talking about…"

The participants below the stage heard the way the judges praised Sierra. Some of them felt jealous, and others were impressed, while the rest were perplexed.

"If she's this excellent, why would she have made such an amateur mistake during the Marisol Cup?"

Janice was the champion of the Marisol Cup. Right now, everyone was subtly sizing her up and muttering about her.

Felicia saw what had happened, and an idea popped into her mind.

She sighed, reminding, "You should've given your championship away to Sierra. Now, look at what's happening. You might be the champion, but she's receiving all the attention. What's worse, they are doubting whether you used shady tactics to secure your victory.

"Say, Janice. Do you think she was born to be your nemesis? You'll always get suppressed whenever she shows up. If I were in your shoes, I would've felt so powerless that I could die."

Janice was angry, but she didn't listen to Felicia this time. She snapped scornfully, "You're on your own if you want to screw with Sierra. I'm not your pawn."

Sierra pointed at Janice and called her a moron last time. It was something she would never forget, and there was no way she would repeat the same mistake. As for Sierra, she would beat her onstage with nothing but pure piano skills.

Sierra got off the stage. Not only were the other participants sizing her up, but Janice was sneering proudly. She let go of the hem of her skirt and looked at Theo in a daze.

"What's her problem?"

Theo was engrossed in Sierra's shining moment. He simply didn't have the time to see what the others were doing or talking about. Naturally, he was oblivious to Janice and Felicia's exchange.

Felicia was infuriated that she failed to taunt Janice. She hammered the chair next to her, muttering, "I can't believe the moron is smarter now."

Sierra won third place, which meant she was qualified for the national selection competition. Cayden and Lachlan got higher ranks than she did. After all, they were both famous piano prodigies.

Janice got eighth place, and she had an awful look. Before she left, she glared at Sierra and snarled, "I didn't perform as well as I should this time, but I will surpass you next time!"

Sierra couldn't decide how to react to Janice chasing after her just to taunt her. With a grin, she nodded. "Sure, I'm waiting for that day to come."

Meanwhile, Felicia was the most depressed among them. She wasn't even in the top ten, which meant she couldn't join the rest of the competition with Cayden.

Sierra told the lecturer that she wouldn't be going back on the bus. Then, she stepped into Theo's car and left. Cayden stood on the bus and watched her retreating figure, wearing a dejected expression.

…

After they had lunch outside, Theo suggested taking her to his company, but Sierra turned him down because she wanted to let her hair down and shop.

Once they went their separate ways, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number she had never called before.
