Chapter 194

The moment Evangeline's words hit the air, the birthday party crowd erupted into excited cheers. The violin was a beast of an instrument, demanding mad skills to play solo and make it sing. That was why every single one of its four strings was super important Despite that, Evangeline boldly declared she would play a violin with a busted string! The crowd buzzed with chatter, wondering what would happen next.

"Can Ms. Evangeline really play even with a broken string? How else could she be so sure of herself?"

One person snorted in disbelief, "Even the violinists who are famous around the world wouldn't dare to make

such a bold claim in front of an audience. Is she really as good as those legends? I bet she's just showing off to us, who wouldn't know any better. She's bound to lose this match with Minnie!"

Yet, someone else was not convinced.

"I still can't believe it. The only well-known violinist in Avalon City is her sister, Julia, Maybe Ms. Evangeline picked up a few tricks from her? But you're right about one thing-we're just amateurs who know what sounds nice, not-the subtleties of the music." Evangeline overheard all their chatter.

She had not cared about beating Minnie before, but with Minnie playing dirty and the crowd questioning her talent, she felt compelled to prove them all wrong.

So, she picked out a notoriously difficult piece to play along with the violin accompaniment.

It did not matter that the crowd was full of novices. There was at least one connoisseur in the audience, right?

With a haughty look, she glanced down at Minnie.

The accompaniment had barely begun.

Minnie's face went from pale to ghostly white.

She was not mistaken-the piece that was starting backstage was the infamous 'Redemption', the violin masterpiece that made the legendary Loberni a household name! With that, Evangeline's performance took off.

Evangeline's fingers danced, her bow slicing through the air with practiced ease. Even with one string missing, she wove a spellbinding melody, her chords reaching a crescendo that left the audience breathless. As the last note quivered into silence, the room erupted in cheers and applause.

Minnie's face was a stormy mix of purple and rage. She bit down hard on her teeth, her mind reeling. The competition was over, and she could not fathom the reality that Evangeline-her half-sister who was always overlooked by the Rearden family-had just outplayed her. How could Evangeline, who never had the chance to learn the violin, pull off those intricate plucks that Minnie herself had never mastered?

A dark thought crept into Minnie's mind. Had their father been secretly nurturing Evangeline's talent while openly favoring her? Bitterness flooded her heart like a tidal wave. "Evangeline, you lowlife! I'll make sure +25 BONUS

you're utterly destroyed," she vowed silently.

With the final note still echoing, Evangeline raised her violin, its broken string dangling, and gave Minnie a defiant look. It was the ultimate taunt from the true victor.
