Chapter 1303 Setting Her Up
“Hey, what event are you signing up for?”
“Definitely piano!”
“Are you going for classical music then?”
“I'm leaning toward classical.”
“In that case, I'll go for contemporary.”
“We're all pianists, not composers. But this year, the president insists on having one of us participate in the
composition award competition... It's too...”
“Who knows what's going on in her mind? As long as it's not me, I don't care. Whoever's stuck with it is going to be
humiliated, so why would I bother with it?”
As they were discussing, Andrea's voice rang out again. “Quiet down, everyone. Let's begin our meeting.”
The entire conference room fell silent.

Piano Association, have always lagged behind, especially in composition. If we don't compete for the composition
award this year, we'll undoubtedly be ridiculed by other countries. As the president of the Piano Association, I'm
deeply concerned about this. Therefore, I announce that Charlotte will be competing for the composition award.
Charlotte, you better submit your composition to the International Glalie Award organizers and judges within a
week.”
Andrea's words shocked the entire conference room, causing an uproar.
“Oh my god! The president just singled out that girl from Jadeborough!”
“It's ridiculous! What talent can a girl from a small place like Jadeborough have? We'll be so embarrassed when she
fails.”
“We're entering the competition for awards. Even if we don't get first place, we might get second or third place. It's
better than getting nothing and being humiliated.”
Charlotte sat in her seat, her face pale. She hadn't expected Andrea to be so forceful in making her sign up.
She took a deep breath and slowly said, “Mrs. Taylor... I don't want to participate.”
“This decision was made after unanimous discussions among all the leaders of the association. Everyone has
already selected other projects to enter, except you. Charlotte, are you saying you don't want to bring glory to our
country? Your mindset is quite backward,” Andrea said with displeasure. “This matter has been decided, and your
objections won't be tolerated.”
“But...” Charlotte tried to say more but was interrupted by Winona. “Ms. Lynch, my mom is doing this for your own
good. She's giving you an opportunity. You better make the most of it! If you actually win some major award, don't
forget the support my mom is giving you today.”
“Ms. Taylor, are you joking? Her? She'll probably come in last.”
“Coming from a small place like Jadeborough, can she even win? Haha!”
“Let it go, let it go. If she doesn't win, it's her embarrassment, not ours.”
Andrea smiled dignifiedly. “Charlotte, you're still young. Even if you don't win this time, you can work harder later.
You should be able to succeed.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt seemed like Andrea was already convinced that Charlotte would return humiliated.
A girl who thought she could rise just because she had known Ashlyn for a few days?
She had even refused to help convince Ashlyn to accept her daughter as an apprentice.
Andrea was determined to tarnish Charlotte's reputation in the international piano community. She would like to
find out how Charlotte was going to keep up with the innocent act from then on.
Andrea had harbored resentment against Charlotte for a long time, believing that Ashlyn's refusal to accept Winona
was due to the negative things Charlotte had said about her daughter, sabotaging the situation.
This International Glalie Award was crucial for almost every musician, a heavyweight international prize.
If she failed in the competition, she would become a global music industry joke.
It could potentially derail Charlotte's piano career, which had taken off when she was young, winning first place in
piano competitions and gaining widespread recognition.
Andrea had always been intensely jealous, believing that Charlotte's success was not based on her true talent but
rather because of Ashlyn's excellent guidance.
That's why she desperately wanted to send her daughter to become Ashlyn's apprentice.
Having the reigning champion of piano competitions turn out to be a composition flop and still insist on participating
in the competition would be quite the ironic twist.
