Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez Novel by Selina Gorges

Bonnie held up the business card and glanced at the gold embossed letters.

Ryan overheard the conversation just now. He could see the words and phone number on the card from where he was. The name Zion Holmes caught his eye. He stood there, stunned..

Turning around. Bonnie saw Ryan’s surprised expression. She was puzzled as to what was special about the business card.

Bonnie carefully examined the card in her hand. From her perspective, aside from the fancy lettering of the words “Zion Holmes, there was not much to it.

Seeing Ryan in a daze, Bonnie waved the card in front of his face. “Ryan, what’s wrong with you? It’s just a business card.” She then turned to Yvette. “Yve, has Ryan lost it or what?”

Yvette sat in her chair, a bit distracted, her knuckles turning white as her hands gripped the armrests.

Ryan snapped back to reality, noticing Yvette’s indifferent expression and Bonnie’s curious look. He uttered softly. “Do you know what that card in your hand means?”

Bonnie shook her head and pointed at the card. “What? Isn’t it just a business card?”

Ryan smiled bitterly and said. “Bonnie, the card in your hand is every piano student’s dream in Clusia. If I’m not mistaken, that man is Clusia’s well–known young pianist, Zion Holmes. He’s currently the only one who has held a concert in Mysonna Concert Hall. He is also an honorary member of the Piano Association. Everyone is desperate to get into his studio, extremely selective”

which is

Bonnie neither played the piano nor knew much about it. She had never heard of Zion, but it sounded like he was very famous. “Wow! Yve, from what Ryan said, this person seems really famous.”

Ryan wondered if Yvette would remain calm when she knew who Zion was,

Hearing it. Yvette just paused expressionlessly, as cold and composed as ever. She did not care at all who Zion was.

Bonnie suddenly thought of something and slapped her thigh too hard. She winced in pain, then chuckled sheepishly. “Since this card is so important, well. She pointed at Ruby, who was still energetically playing the piano on stage. “Would she like to have it, too?”

Ryan nodded blankly. “As far as I know, Ruby once approached Zion but got turned down. She must want it very much

Bonnie glanced slyly at Yvette, who was sitting on the chair with her eyes half–closed. “Hey, Yve, should we tease that arrogant Ruby with this card?”

That’s lame,” Yvette responded.

Bonnie admitted it was indeed a lame idea. She casually slipped the business card into her pocket, planning to give it to Yvette later. However, she knew Yvette too well. There was a high chance that the card would end up in some corner, just like those colorful love letters, and no one would care about it.

Ryan was completely at a loss for words now. He thought, These two are really… How should I put it? Well, let’s just say they’re as unique as can be.

Few people in Clusia would turn down Zion’s business card and casually stuff it away even after finding out who he was.

Bonnie did not even notice that after hanging out with Yvette for a while, she had become pretty chill about certain things. She thought, “Who could be more mysterious and powerful than Top Dog? No matter how impressive this pianist is, he can’t compare to Top Dog. That’s right. Stay calm,

When Ruby finished playing the piano and stood at the center of the stage, everyone applauded passionately. Whether it was because of her good performance or her status as the president did not really matter.

Several people praised Ruby, Ruby plays well. It’s mesmerizing/

Yeah, absolutely. She’s got some serious skills.”

Theard Ruby has passed the Level 8 piano exam. I bet she will be champion in the piano competition this time.”

“I think so, too. Didn’t you see how discouraged the other contestants looked? They probably realized they didn’t stand a

chance.”

“Ruby’s mean. It’s just a rehearsal. Everyone was already intimidated even before the competition. Who else can compete with her for the championship?”

Ruby lost herself in the crowd’s admiration. She could not wait to get the trophy and show it off. She felt even more proud when she saw that Yvette and some others in the last row were gone. She knew Yvette could not compare to her and thought Yvette had run away in defeat.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Ruby seemed to have seen a familiar figure earlier, but she could not remember where she had seen that person before.

Zion returned to the hotel. He had just entered the room when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door, and standing there was Sawyer Lane, a student he brought from Betrico

Sawyer had potential but was still inexperienced. He needed more humility and some refining. Zion wanted to take this opportunity for Sawyer to interact with students from Argrol University. Music was not meant to be solitary.

Zion thought of Yvette and sighed. It would benefit Sawyer greatly if she were willing to give him a few tips. Sadly, she turned down his invitation.

Sawyer was a tall young man with nothing special about his appearance except for the ambition shining in his eyes.

Since he was young. Sawyer believed he had an extraordinary talent for the piano. His path of learning was smooth. While others worried about the exams, he passed them easily, one after another, ultimately earning his place in Zion’s studio, making quite a name for himself.

Sawyer felt destined to be the next Zion. Or rather, he believed he would surpass Zion one day and become an even more outstanding figure than him.

“Mr. Holmes, I came by earlier, and you weren’t here. The invitation from Argrol University just arrived, Sawyer said

Zion took a sip of water before saying, “Just leave it there. Come with me in a couple of days. Argrol University is the best university in Seacrity, and it’s full of talented piano students. This is a great chance for you to exchange ideas with them.”

Sawyer seemed a bit dismissive. To him, exchanging ideas with students from a local university was meaningless. It would be worth his attention if it were Betrico University where the best talents gathered. Still, he agreed sincerely, “Okay, Mr. Holmes.

Ahbough Zion was drinking water with his head down, he was constantly watching Sawyer’s expression. Zion was not just anyone. Over the years, he had met all kinds of piano students. No matter how well Sawyer hd his true nature, Zion could see through the ambition in his eyes and the perfunctory tone in his words

In fact, based on his standards, he would not have accepted Sawyer, no matter how talented the latter had been. For a pianist, the most important quality was simplicity. If one were too ambitious and obsessed with fame and status, their desire would eventually destroy their music career

Zion had seen too many talented pianists destroy themselves in the end. He would give Sawyer a chance. If Sawyer still could not realize this, there was nothing more he could do.

Sawyer was completely unaware of the world beyond his own and did not know there was always someone better than him.

just like the genius Yvette, whom Zion had met today.
