Obsessed CEO Throws Himself at Me Chapter 491
Wendy could not believe she had been scaring herself with unfounded thoughts.
Even though Arielle is brilliant in studying, no one could be perfect. The piano is meant for someone from the rich. It’s totally out of her league!
Just then, an evil thought flashed across Wendy’s mind again. Determined to make Arielle embarrassed in public, Wendy tried to persuade Zelda once again. “Ms. Zelda, please give Arielle one chance. After Mr. Parker sees my performance, he won’t mind even if Arielle makes some mistakes. After all, it’s just a freshman party, not a professional musical feast.”
Zelda pondered for a long while and eventually complied with it.
She grabbed Wendy’s hand firmly. “Please make sure you perform well later. Mr. Brown and I are counting on
you.”
With that, Wendy nodded firmly. “Don’t worry. I’ll play well.”
Her initial nervousness was replaced with anticipation to see Arielle making a fool of herself.
Seeing Wendy’s persistence only then did Zelda turn to Trisha. “Fine. I’ll give you guys one last chance. But you’re not allowed to change your mind again.”
“Okay! Thank you, Ms. Zelda!” Trisha immediately expressed her gratitude.
Zelda furrowed her brows slightly. “You should be thanking Wendy.”
Trisha turned toward Wendy and thanked her with a nod.
However, she had a feeling that there was something malicious about Wendy’s smile.
Am I overthinking?
A moment later, the stage was finally cleaned. As Sennhein got carefully carried onto the stage, the emcee announced, “Next, let’s welcome Wendy from the preparatory class to perform Reborn for us.”
Wendy took a deep breath and walked up the stage under Zelda’s encouragement.
At the same time, Arielle arrived backstage under Vinson’s escort.
She could walk by herself, but Vinson insisted on supporting her. That slowed down her pace, and she had to ask Trisha to come ahead.
Right then, she took her hand off Vinson’s shoulder as her face blushed with shyness. “All right. We’re here. Thanks…”
Vinson feigned a stern look at her. “What did I tell you? What should you say when you want to thank me?”
Arielle’s face became redder as she whispered, “Vinson,
you’re so good…”
He’s so thick-skinned! There are so many people here. Isn’t he afraid to get heard?
Vinson let out a boisterous laugh as he reached his hand to caress her head. “Go get ready then. Remember. Please stop at once if you feel unwell. Don’t worry about the rest. I’ll handle it.”
He sounded utterly domineering, giving her a complete sense of security.
Arielle nodded and cast a final glance at Vinson before heading toward Trisha.
After getting scolded by Zelda, Trisha’s face was still pale from the shock.
Arielle sensed something wrong with her the second she saw her. “What happened?”
Trisha shook her head. “Nothing.”
However, after Arielle’s unyielding probing, Trisha finally gave in and confessed, “Ms. Zelda thought that our performance might embarrass the school, so she refused to let us perform initially. But Wendy helped to persuade her…”
“Wendy?” Arielle’s heart skipped a beat.
She’s expecting me to embarrass myself. I’m sorry, but she’ll get disappointed.
At that moment, the curtain on the stage was slowly
