Chapter 218 Liana’s Desire
On Grayson’s face, the thin bangs hid his bright eyes, staring fixedly at where Catherine stood. Catherine did not speak a word among the crowd but was still in the spotlight. Grayson’s usual calmness had a crack on it.
Catherine walked away from the crowd that surrounded her. She took several steps ahead and realized someone was following her.
Catherine stopped, whirled around, and narrowed her eyes. She looked indolently and casually at Grayson.” What do you want?”
Grayson did not expect her to stop, and he would subconsciously follow her out. Catherine was like sunshine. People would want to follow her steps without even realizing it.
“Catherine, you have an excellent voice and a good sense of pitch. I heard that you wrote the song yourself. Is that true?”
When Grayson heard Catherine sing, he found her voice mind-blowing. After hearing from people around that Catherine wrote the song on her own, Grayson was even more amazed by her musical talent.
Catherine was now sizing up Grayson. She did not even look at him before. Grayson had fair skin. It was like he had been hiding in the dark and never walked under the sun.
The skin on his face was thin and translucent, revealing the veins under it. He had finely carved features and was quite good-looking.
That was how Catherine thought of Grayson. But what did it have to do with her that Grayson had a good-looking face? Facing Grayson’s question, Catherine only replied with indifference, “Yeah. So what?”
Catherine’s coldness did not harm Grayson’s feelings at all. Grayson had already subconsciously thought of Catherine as the same kind as himself. They were both scornful of worldly things and social expectations because they never cared about them.
Grayson looked earnestly at Catherine and said, “I have received the admission letter from Ealsmen Conservatory. My professor is there. With your talent, it will not be hard for you to enter the Ealsmen Conservatory. Do you understand me?”
Ealsmen Conservatory was the best music school in the world. It was a dream school for countless people who loved music, but the enrolment was limited to the number of graduates last year, which was scarce.
Grayson got the admission letter so early. It meant that he had great prowess in music. He was a true genius. Ealsmen Conservatory was a school that Liana had been dreaming of and working hard for. She would do anything to exchange for an admission letter from it.
One could be seen as a musician after graduating from it.
“Ealsmen Conservatory,” Catherine whispered the name with a sneer of displeasure. If she recollected correctly, she had received an email from the professor of Ealsmen Conservatory three years ago. It was a special invitation for her to apply to Ealsmen.
However, she deleted the email and never thought of it again. Grayson noticed the slight of Ealsmen in Catherine’s tone and thought she did not understand how famous and influential Ealsmen Conservatory was. He had heard Catherine had been raised in the countryside and had not been well-educated.
“Catherine, I don’t think you understand this. Ealsmen is the university that everyone who loves music wants to go to. It’s the best…”
Before Grayson finished talking, Catherine waved her hand and signaled him to stop.
“Alright. Congratulations if you want to go there. As for me…” Catherine paused for a moment before her cold voice sounded again. “I am not interested.” Her words were simple but powerful. With that, she turned around and walked away.
Grayson stood in place with frustration. As he watched Catherine’s departure, a trace of confusion appeared in his beautiful eyes.
He did not understand why Catherine refused to accept his kindness. Immersed in his own world, Grayson did not notice the malicious eyes staring at him not far away.
Liana had just done her performance and went down from the stage when she saw Grayson standing face-to-face with Catherine. She did not know how Catherine and Grayson knew each other or why they would interact with each other.
Grayson had an inborn musical aptitude. He was an incredible talent. Liana was not surprised that Grayson could get the admission letter from Ealsmen Conservatory. But what surprised her was that Grayson wanted to recommend Catherine to Ealsmen Conservatory!
God knew how much time and energy she had put into getting a recommendation letter. Now, Grayson wanted to recommend Catherine!
Liana had tried all the means to beg Grayson for his recommendation, but Grayson never agreed. Grayson even took the first step and offered to help Catherine, which was an opportunity Liana had long desired.
What was more unacceptable to Liana was that Catherine refused to seize the opportunity. She did not want it. It was something Liana was dying for. Grayson handed it to Catherine readily, but Catherine treated it as worthless.
What did that mean?
Who did Catherine think she was? She was only a jinx returned from the countryside. How could she be more outstanding than Liana?
It was something Liana could never accept. It occurred to Liana that the conversation between the two male students in the church, so she rushed to find them immediately.
“Hey, could you please…”
The two guys were about to leave when they heard the voice sounding behind them. They turned around and saw Liana, so they nodded at her as a greeting.
Liana’s face was rather beautiful among ordinary people. She grew up in a wealthy family and was aristocratic. Besides, she knew how to dress up and wear makeup to add to her charm.
The eyes of the two students lit up. They were too shy to say much to Liana, so they only asked. “What can we do for you?”
Liana smiled decently and nodded at them. “Excuse me. I was sitting in the row behind you and accidentally overheard your conversation. Did you say that the song of Bryan’s team had a familiar melody and seemed to be written by some composer?”
The two students eyed Liana suspiciously, so Liana gave them a sweet smile to delude them. She said cautiously, “Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like what you have thought. I love that song and worship the one who has written it. You know that kind of feeling, right?”
The two students nodded repeatedly in agreement. They were fascinated by Liana. “Yeah, we know. We never heard the song of Bryan’s team in Sugar’s albums, but the style and the melody seemed like Sugar’s. It’s a great song.
Liana caught the point. “Sugar?”
“Yes, her! The most mysterious and legendary composer. Every song she wrote was classic, and she only wrote the songs for the moguls in the entertainment industry. She had only written a few songs, but they were all the best.”
Liana heard the student’s explanation, and a thrilled smile revealed on her face. She thanked the two students with pleasure and turned to leave.
Attracted by Liana’s pretty face, the two students did not think of why Liana would ask about that. Sugar only worked with the moguls, and Liana did not think Catherine had any way to reach Sugar.
Catherine must have plagiarized the song. Liana was sure of it. A plagiarist! Liana would let Catherine learn what price she would pay to plagiarize.
