Chapter140
Natalie put the gift box and the bucket in the hallway, turned
around and said, “Rose had been getting ready for the piano
competition lately and didn’t have time to chat with me.”
“But she still remembered you,” Natalie said, holding Paloma’s
arm closely, “but she did tell me to come see you and chat with
you to keep you company!””
Paloma chuckled, “She really went to a lot of trouble.”
Natalie looked up and glanced at Alarieka and Jaylene outside
the yard. Her eyes flickered and a hint of malice flashed
through them.
“Ms. Wyatt, why didn’t you let them in?”
Paloma still had that gentle smile on her face, but most of the
warmth in her eyes was gone.
She walked back again, put her hand on the door frame, and
said, “I’ve always liked peace and quiet. You guys should go
back. No need to hang around here and make things
complicated.”
Alarieka immediately said, “Sorry, we didn’t mean to offend
Chapter140
you, I just really needed help.”
Paloma wasn’t an unreasonable person, but the two people in
front of her had never met her before and just started off by
asking for help. That was really rude and honestly kind of
offensive.
But seeing Alarieka so eager, she did get a bit interested.
“Why not tell me?”
Alarieka’s eyes lit up, holding back the hope in her heart: “Ms.
Wyatt, the recent Mcintosh Piano Competition-”
Who knew, Paloma’s brows twitched, she frowned hard, and all
the gentleness in her eyes disappeared in a flash. She looked
terribly pale.
“Mcintosh Piano Competition? You guys were contestants?
There was no way I was gonna give you special treatment.”
Alarieka felt a jolt in her heart. “No, I mean-”
Paloma sneered and said, “You guys weren’t the first
contestants to come to me. I’ve said it so many times already, it’s
just not possible. Don’t come to me looking for shortcuts.”
“Not seeing you off!”
Chapter140
Creak–bang!
Paloma was in the yard and shut the door completely.
Alarieka looked annoyed, raised her hand, and patted her own
head.
Jaylene walked over, looking pretty pale too: “How do you even
know Natalie and them? This is trouble.”
At first, Natalie thought it was funny to see Alarieka begging
Paloma so hard. If Paloma hadn’t been there, she definitely
would’ve made fun of her.
She and Roschelle were best friends, close for years. In her eyes,
Roschelle was way more than just pretty, smart, and from a
good family. She was independent, both in mind and money, a
real leading lady. She had her own career and tons of fans. Even
if she cared about Kieran, she wouldn’t stop moving forward for
him.
She was a real leading lady, truly deserved everyone’s love and
care.
The still–wet–behind–the–ears Alarieka stood in front of
Roschelle. That was something you couldn’t even look at, let
alone compare.
Chapter 140
So, when she saw Alarieka get kicked out by Roschelle’s
precious Paloma like that, she was pretty smug.
But she heard what Paloma said again.
Paloma said it was impossible for her to pull strings.
The smile on Natalie’s face was almost about to fall.
What did it mean?
Was Alarieka going to join the Mcintosh Piano Competition too?
Wasn’t it really like a ghost that just wouldn’t go away?
She looked at Paloma coming back, her smile paused for a
moment, then went back to normal: “Ms. Wyatt, what are they
here for?”
Paloma shook her head, her face darkened: “Every year there
were some contestants who tried to take shortcuts with me.”
She gave a cold laugh, “If they put as much effort into practicing
piano as they did scheming here, they wouldn’t have to come to
me for shortcuts.”
A hint of disdain flashed in Natalie’s eyes, and she immediately
said, “Yeah, some contestants just don’t know how to put real
thought into the piano.“”

“Rose was pregnant, and she still went out early and came back
late every day to practice piano. It was really tough.”
When Roschelle was mentioned, Paloma smiled and said, “Yeah,
