Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 171

To be honest, Shirley's piano skills were commendable, and certainly noteworthy among today's contestants.

She sat in disbelief, seemingly surprised by her first-place achievement.

Jacob and Henry's group exchanged congratulations, faces alight with joy.

As Shirley walked up to the stage, the host spoke again, "Alright, standing here on stage are the winners of the first, second, and third prizes of this competition.

"Next, our three esteemed judges will each select the student they most wish to mentor. Liam, as the president, would you like to start?"

With that, the entire audience and the three award-winning contestants tensed up. This was one of the day's most crucial moments—the mentor match.

Some believed that working with Liam was ideal; taking in all his talents and connecting with elite social circles could open doors to becoming president of the Clusia Pianists' Association someday.

There were even whispers about Liam being a single aristocrat—a potential personal advantage.

Some people think it's Tina from the Simpson family, one of the top families in Betrico. Connecting with the Simpson family offers a potential path into Artiverse Entertainment through Truman.

With the reputation of being mentored by the CEO's sister, it's a chance to make a powerful entrance into the entertainment world.

And some said it had to be Arlina—the maestro herself. One song could earn you heaps or she might equip you with all the piano skills needed to become a famous pianist in Clusia or even worldwide.

Onstage, Madeline and Miles were visibly nervous but felt that being chosen by any of these judges was a stroke of luck—after all, they were all legendary figures.

However, Shirley stood out. She wanted Liam and only Liam. She had no interest in the other two judges, especially Cherise.
