Chapter 58 The Upcoming Talent Show
Meanwhile, Zayden was in his thoughts.
I had never known before that Naomi actually didn’t like Eliza.
I only knew that Naomi always protected Eliza and would tell me things about Eliza. I had always doted on Naomi like a neighbor’s younger sister.
But I had no idea that Naomi had been hurting Eliza all along with me as an accomplice.
He took out his phone, intending to call Eliza. But after glancing at the sparse conversation history between them, his hand froze mid–dial.
In Eliza’s heart. Did she see me as the same kind of person as Naomi
That must be why Eliza had sent me the screenshots without saying a word.
By Monday, Nolan was able to walk normally again, though he still couldn’t leave the hotel to rest.
Eliza didn’t want to fall behind in her studies, so she went to school as usual. The schoolmates looked at her with strange eyes, their gazes almost blatant.
“Stop staring!” Henry suddenly stepped out from the side, shielding Eliza behind him and frowning as he said, “If you keep looking. I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
Eliza was taken aback..
Henry had never been so fierce in class before.
But the other students seemed to know how formidable he could be, and no one dared to look at Eliza anymore..
After the other students in the hallway had left, Henry turned to Eliza and asked, “Eliza, how are you? Were you really sick these past few days? Are you feeling better?”
“Thank you for protecting me like this,” Eliza said.
Seeing Eliza’s usual expression. Henry seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, “We’re all friends. It’s only natural to look out for each other.”
Seeing Eliza smile, Henry hesitated and then said, “Nolan…”
“You saw it too?
Of course. The study group chat was almost entirely filled with discussions about me and Nolan. It would have been hard not to see
Henry frowned and said. “They’re all just spreading rumors. One day, I’ll expose them all and give them a good beating!”
Seeing Henry’s indignant expression, Eliza actually wanted to tell Henry the truth, but thinking about the reason Nolan was injured, she suppressed the thought.
It would be better if Nolan told them himself.
Eliza patted Henry on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said, “Alright, since we know it’s just rumors, let’s not worry about it. By the way, the teacher mentioned on Friday that there’s going to be a New Year’s Eve party. Do you have a performance? If not, there’s no need to sign up.”
“A New Year’s Eve party?”
Elza fell silent for a moment.
I remembered that in my previous life, a big shot had come to the New Year’s Eve party at Westbrook High School
Naomi, who had been proficient in music and the arts since childhood, had played a piano piece in the auditorium during the school’s New Year’s Eve party and became famous overnight.
She had also won the appreciation of that big shot, and afterward, Naomi had become a prominent figure in Westbrook
It was also because of this that Naomi had decisively ended her relationship with Zayden when the Holt family went bankrupt in her senior
In my previous life, I had always been shy and timid, too afraid to perform on stage, so I hadn’t gone that day.
Naturally, I didn’t know which big shot had appreciated Naomi
But if in this life, I can prepare a performance to outshine Naomi, then I can take Naomi’s place and leap into the upper–class circle.
Henry called out twice before Eliza finally snapped back to reality.
“Huh? What?”
Seeing that Eliza was finally responding, Henry let out a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding and said, “I was asking if you have any performances for the New Year’s Eve party. If you do, I’ll sign you up.”
“yes”
Henry was a bit surprised and asked, “What are you going to perform?”
“The piano.
Upon hearing this, Henry was taken aback.
Plane!
In the months that I had known Eliza, I had never heard that she could play the piano..
Eliza’s ability to play the piano was unknown to others. That was because in her previous life, after Zayden had fallen for Naomi because of her piano playing, Eliza had learned piano pieces specifically to win Zayden’s favor after their marriage
But later. Eliza realized that no matter how well she played, Zayden wouldn’t pay her any more attention.
Because she and Naomi were just not the same person.
Unexpectedly, the skill I had learned in my previous life to please a man would come in handy in this life. Thinking about it this way, it didn’t seem like a waste after all.
In the afternoon, when the sign–up list for the New Year’s Eve party was posted, Eliza’s eyes immediately fell on Naomi’s name. As expected, just like in her previous life, Naomi had signed up to play her best piece, the Moonlight Sonata
Eliza’s eyes darkened..
This piece wasn’t particularly difficult for a high school student. It had only won the favor of the big shot behind the scenes because of Naomi’s good looks and the contrast with other competitors.
The piece Eliza had signed up for was the Crimson Rhapsody. She had submitted the list in the morning, and by the afternoon, she was called to the music teacher’s office. The music teacher said earnestly. “Eliza, I know your class didn’t have any acts, but you can’t just fill in anything.
