The opportunity was too precious to relinquish, especially after witnessing Rena rehearsing the following day. A vision of the grand stage arrangement played in her mind: the Morning Dew Piano that was once played by Louis II, the stage adorned with delicate roses, and the crystal chandelier above refracting an illusionary radiance.

Rena's natural talent was undeniable. After this performance, she would garner accolades within the circle of pianists. However, Aline couldn't bear being no match for Rena in this field forever.

Jealousy flared within Aline as she stared at Rena.

In that instant, an electrician in work attire approached and ascended a ladder to inspect the Lighting.

The crystal chandelier flickered overhead.

Aline's heart raced. She couldn't help but imagine a scenario... What if the chandelier were to fall upon Rena? Then, no one would challenge her for the top spot in the performance!

Rena's pride would be shattered.

A trace of annoyance crossed Aline's face at his misinterpretation. With a bright smile, she gently corrected, "I'm a student at the music school, not providing that kind of service!"

Quickly adjusting his attire, the young man allowed her in.

Aline entered and shut the door behind her.

She surveyed the room, her gaze finally resting on the young man's smooth chest. Adopting an air of arrogance, she declared, “I want to make a deal with you."

The young man crouched to find a cigarette.

"As I mentioned, I didn't call for any service.”

From her bag, Aline produced a stack of one hundred thousand dollars and placed it on his worn-out table.

“I need your assistance."

As she Laid out her plan, the young man swiftly declined. He pushed the money back into her bag, ushered Aline out, and firmly stated.
