Chapter 241 Exposing the Truth Sierra obediently admitted to her mistake. "Ms. Anderson, it was wrong ofto do that." In the face of such a talented student, teachers always tended to be more forgiving. So, Jemima replied, "The results of the competition have been released. Report to school. I'll be waiting for you." After ending the call, Sierra held her phone and smiled.
Recalling how Jemima had mentioned watching her performance video, she immediately opened Twitter and immediately saw a trending tweet about her.
#The Return of the Pianist Prodigy! # There was also the video of her performance attached with the tweet, and Sierra began looking through the comments.
"This beautiful lady plays the piano so well. Her fingers are so long and slender. I'd really like to hold her hand!" "I know her! I've heard people saying that she had a lot of talent back then. I never thought she'd still be so good at it after such a long time." "You're tellingsomeone as talented as her had to join the competition through connections? Who spread that rumor? Did no one even bother to fact-check?" "I heard that all of her haters had created a group chat just to apologize to her." "Sierra's fan base is growing..." Despite the fact that the competition had ended, Sierra never thought she'd still be trending across social media and win a batch of new fans.

They were even giving her nicknames like Queen of the Keys, The Most Beautiful Pianist...
They were exaggerating a bit too much! In the afternoon, Sierra took a cab to school. As soon as she stepped into school, people began recognizing her. "It's Sierra. She's so much prettier in person." "The piece she performed in the Marisol Cup was beautiful. It's a pity she made a mistake at the end. Otherwise, she probably would have gotten first place." "I saw that video too. Sierra's performance was amazing." Their discussions weren't exactly quiet, and she was slightly embarrassed. So, she quickened her pace, wanting to escape from the crowd.
On her way to the faculty building, both familiar and unfamiliar faces greeted her, and she responded to them patiently, sincerely, and warmly.
Her juniors who were initially just curious about her were instantly won over, eagerly expressing their determination to continue supporting her.
Meanwhile, Janice, surrounded by friends and basking in their admiration, proudly lifted her chin, accepting their praise.
Suddenly, many students rushed past them.
Catching them mentioning Sierra's name, Janice frowned.
"Why is she everywhere? What's so great about second place?" she muttered, only to realize that half of her friends had also disappeared.
Guessing where they had gone, she was infuriated. She proceeded to stomp on her foot before chasing after them.

"What are you doing here?" she snapped before Sierra could speak.
"You acted so high and mighty before, but you still lost to me. How do you ever have the nerve to show up at school? Hurry up and leave. Our school doesn't welcyou."
Faced with Janice's hostility, Sierra's expression darkened. She pointed behind Janice, saying, "Ms. Anderson askedto come. Now, move aside." Janice turned and looked up at her mother's office window in disbelief. "That's impossible! You only got second place." Her mother only cared about first place. Whenever she failed to get first, her mother would always be displeased with her.
So why was Sierra, who only won second place, being welcomed back? Janice stubbornly brushed the thought away and pressed on. "Why did she call you here? Don't tellshe's trying to convince you to quit piano?" Sierra answered honestly, "Ms. Anderson askedto report back to school."
Janice froze in place, looking utterly dazed. Her expression blank and eyes unfocused Seeing her so shaken, Sierra walked past her and entered the faculty building. "Janice, why are you spacing out? Sierra's already gone in. Let's go." "Sierra's so gentle. She's really deserving of the title, 'Queen of the Keys."" "Janice, did you two ever talk during the competition?"
