A Beauty With Multiple Masks
“Boohoo… Mrs. Nightshire, I don’t understand why Mr. Parker and the other musicians value Arielle so
much but ignore me. Will my effort all these years turn into nothing? Am I no match for Arielle in all
aspects? Am I that unlikeable? Boohoo…”
Wendy lay on Susanne’s lap and began crying.
Despite her fake cry, Wendy was indeed upset.
At that moment, she could only seek solace from Susanne because she couldn’t get any from Vinson.
Arielle’s superb piano skills mean nothing since Susanne has set her mind on me!
The more convinced Wendy was, the louder she cried.
Before that, Susanne was conflicted and intended to back Wendy anyway. But when Wendy cried non-
stop, she suddenly felt impatient.
Moreover, Susanne felt embarrassed when she recalled that Steven taunted Wendy on the stage earlier.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Susanne’s mind.
Would I not be embarrassed if my future daughter-in law is Arielle instead? There is no doubt that the
answer is yes.
Meanwhile, Wendy felt slightly puzzled, for Susanne didn’t comfort her even though she had gone all out
to

Meanwhile, Wendy felt slightly puzzled, for Susanne didn’t comfort her even though she had gone all out
to cry.
When Wendy looked up at Susanne, she saw her frowning. Instead of the usual endearing warmth on
Susanne’s face, all Wendy could see was impatience.
Wendy was shocked, and her mind went blank.
Why is Susanne reacting in such a way?
As fear rose in Wendy, her lips twitched.
If Susanne loses her fondness for me, I’ll have no chance to marry into the Nightshires!
Wendy’s face turned pale at that thought. The next moment, tears streamed down her face
uncontrollably.
“Mrs. Nightshire…” Wendy tried very hard to regain her composure as she asked, “What is going on?”.
Deep down, Wendy wanted to know what was on Susanne’s mind when the latter behaved as such.
Noticing Wendy’s fear, Susanne came to her senses and flashed Wendy an embarrassed smile. “I’m
okay. I was only thinking about something. Don’t cry. Your piano skills are better than most people. Your
efforts won’t be wasted. Mr. Parker only gave those remarks because he is the top pianist in the world.
On the other hand, an ordinary pianist will definitely appreciate your talent.”
Although Wendy nodded in response, she didn’t listen to Susanne’s words at all, for she was focused on
reading
Susanne’s facial expression.
Nonetheless, Wendy couldn’t read Susanne’s mind after observing her for a while.
Susanne might be slightly dissatisfied with me after Steven taunted me.
Wendy forced herself not to overthink it. The next moment, she pretended to look obedient and
determined as she said to Susanne, “Thank you, Mrs. Nightshire. However, I admit that I’ve embarrassed
you. From now on, I’ll work even harder!”
After a while, Wendy added, “The first monthly test is around the corner. Mrs. Nightshire, I promise to get
the first place and work hard to be enrolled at Maxwell University!”
Maxwell University isn’t a place for ordinary people.
To put things into perspective, even my son Vinson devoted a lot of time and effort to be enrolled at the
university.
If Wendy can study there, I can still consider accepting her as my future daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, Wendy is unaware that I’m thinking about giving up on her!
Feeling slightly better, Susanne blinked and asked Wendy for confirmation, “What do you think the odds
of you being enrolled at the university are?”
