A pair of lovers thus lay forever in their underground tomb.

There’s no doubt the end of the story is tragic.

The melody of the violin also became so sorrowful, ebbing and flowing.

The eyes of everyone present were red.

This kind of emotion was too contagious.

Diana was weeping, “Viola is so amazing! I’m so touched!”

Fiona Knight held Diana, her sorrow matching the other girl’s.

With the conclusion of the last musical note, the performance came to an end. Viola Thompson detached herself from the mournful music, faced the judges and the audience, and bowed slightly.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Then came a thunderous applause.

Clap, clap, clap—

The applause was forceful, escalating with each wave.

“Beautiful Thompson! Beautiful Thompson!”

The students from North Bridge High School shouted with excitement.

Even others began to join in the shouting.

The scene was momentarily chaotic.

The host stepped forward at the right moment, suppressing his excitement, “Thank you, Miss Thompson, for your rendition of ‘The Butterfly Lovers’. It was so moving, I felt as if I could see Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai right in front of me!”

Once he finished speaking, the host continued: “Now please let the judges score the performance! ”

The judges looked at each other and unanimously gave full marks.

Since everyone gave full marks, there was no need to drop the highest or lowest score. Therefore, Viola’s final score was 100 points. The host took the microphone, “Congratulations, Viola.”

“Thank you.”

The host continued: “Do you have any thoughts at this moment? Is there anyone special you would like to thank?”

“Thank you, 1010 milk tea.” Viola said.

Free lifetime supply of milk tea, even the thought of that was particularly exciting.

Viola had a gentle smile in her eyes, it seemed like there were stars shining brightly at the bottom of them.

Although the host was curious why Viola wanted to thank 1010 milk tea, he didn’t ask. The awards for the top three contestants of the competition were still to be given out.

Then came the awarding segment.

The first place went to Viola Thompson.

The second place was Elizabeth Thompson.

The third place was Mae White.

Mae finally submitted to defeat.

She considered it an honor to lose to a formidable opponent like Viola.

She was just curious how Emma would be feeling now.

After all, Emma had always looked down on the little country girl, Viola.

Mae flashed a smile at the corner of her mouth as she accepted the trophy from the guest of honor, “Thank you.”

Emma maintained a polite smile on her face.

This was not the time for panic, she needed to remain composed.

It was merely a competition.

Not a big deal.

After the award ceremony.

Emma quickly approached Moira.

“Teacher …” Emma’s face was pale, as if she wanted to explain something, but Moira did not give her the chance.

“Elizabeth Thompson, you have disappointed me immensely!” Moira said angrily to Emma.

She never imagined that Emma could deceive her.

Nor could she believe that the person who played the violin at the Thompson’s house that day was not Emma.

She had proclaimed to the world that she accepted a student who could make the entire violin world proud.

But as it turned out, it was all a joke.

“Teacher, things are not what you think…”

Moira didn’t want to hear any more of Emma’s excuses, turning and walking away.

“Teacher! Teacher!” Emma chased after Moira but was stopped by Moira’s assistant.

“Miss Thompson, you have profoundly disappointed the professor!”

Emma watched Moira’s departing figure, feeling her blood rush backwards and breaking out into an immediate cold sweat.

What should she do now?

What was she going to do?

Backstage, Moira approached.

At that time, Viola had just finished packing up her violin, holding her trophy, ready to go out to eat with Diana and Fiona. “Miss Thompson, please wait a moment.” Moira quickly ran over.

“Hello.” Viola turned slightly. “Can I help you?”

“First, let me introduce myself. I am the president of the International Violin Association, Mary Perryne. I am also one of the ten judges who just graded your performance,” Moira said with a smile.

Viola nodded in acknowledgment, “President Perryne.”

“Miss Thompson, I have something to discuss with you. Are you free at the moment?” Mary wanted to take Viola as her apprentice immediately.

Although her skill level may not necessarily be higher than the young girl standing before her, she had prestige.

A great teacher produces brilliant students.

Having an apprentice as talented as Viola was a matter of honor for her.

Viola could sense Mary’s intentions and gently declined: “I’m sorry, President

Perryne, I’m going to have dinner with my friends.”

Viola didn’t know much about Perryne in her previous life, but she had heard a thing or two.

Mary did possess a high level of skill, but she was extremely proud. She believed that people in the Sinian country could not Olav the violin well.

So, she only took in students with excellent foundation. She was not willing to teach from scratch.

Mary certainly would not accept a young child who knew nothing as a student.

She wanted both fame and profit.

Mary felt regretful, she wanted to say something else to Viola, but Viola had already walked away with Diana and Fiona.

Watching Viola’s receding figure, Mary was more certain of her idea. She absolutely had to take Viola as her apprentice.

Viola had just declined her because she didn’t know the president’s intentions. When the time was right, Mary would have a proper talk with Viola.

Meanwhile, at Thompson Family Manor in Capital City.

Mandel Thompson was sitting at his desk.

The assistant handed him a few documents, “Boss, these are the ones that match Miss Thompson’s description. But one of them does not have a red birthmark on her right arm and the birthday also does not match.”

Upon hearing this, Mandel pressed his eyebrows together, appearing somewhat fatigued.

An incorrect birthdate was normal, as the traffickers who kidnapped the child would naturally want to change the child’s birthdate.

However, a birthmark was something innate and could not be changed.

According to what Mary said, Viola Thompson had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her right arm.

Just then, the door was pushed open from outside and Edward Thompson walked in, looking at Mandel incredulously, “Big brother, you can’t possibly not trust Sylvia!”

Mandel had already fully delegated the task of finding Viola to Sylvia. Why was he secretly arranging for others to find her? If Sylvia found out, how heartbroken would she be?

Mandel frowned slightly, “Shut the door!”
