The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Mila’s face had darkened with shame. The confident look on her face was shattered

She couldn’t keep up with Vivienne?!

How could that be possible?

Meanwhile, down in the audience, the people who had been engrossed in Vivienne’s performance all simultaneously furrowed their brows.

They looked at Mila with very annoyed, even sort of disgusted, expressions

“What the heck is Mila playing?! Couldn’t she even get the first note right?”

“She’s a renowned pianist, and she can’t even outshine Vivienne, a country girl? What’s the point of her playing at all? She should just go home, get married, and become a housewife”

Mila felt even more shame now.

Although everyone knew she wanted to marry Scott, no one had ever spoken about it openly.

Vivienne not only brought it up in public but also used her piano skills to make her lose dignity.
