Chapter 114 Apology
"Oh." This time, Abella really let go.
Due to inertia, Mrs. Wilson fell backwards, and Isla wanted to help her, but her dress was stepped on and both of them fell to the ground, their foreheads knocking together in a sorry state.
"You, you wicked girl..." Mrs. Wilson pointed at Abella, too angry to stand up.
After coming out of the restroom, Abella saw Mrs. Wilson blocking her way.
"You think you can just hit Isla's face whenever you want? Last time, you incited your friends to hit her, and today you dare to bully her in front of me. I'm telling you, if you don't apologize to Isla today and let her hit you back, I'll call everyone here to discuss this!"
"Sure." Abella unexpectedly agreed readily, indifferent as she said, "Call everyone here. While we're at it, let them judge whether this behavior of stealing someone else's piano piece is worthy of a second-place trophy."
"What did you say? Stop slandering Isla!"
"Whether it's slander or not, ask her." Abella's gaze turned to Isla, seemingly dismissive.
Isla felt guilty, not expecting Abella to find out so quickly. She clenched her teeth and said, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yeah, what evidence do you have to prove that Isla stole someone's piano piece? Even if she did, how did you know? Do you understand piano compositions?"
Although the old lady had bought a piano for this girl before, she had hardly ever heard her play...
Just because she understood a little bit of music theory, she thought she could baselessly accuse someone of stealing!
"I know! You're just jealous because Isla got second place and you're not satisfied, so you intentionally sneaked into the theater to embarrass Isla! You have a heart as evil as a snake!"
“The Wilson family, how could they raise such an ungrateful wolf like you!"
"Who raised whom?" Abella raised her cold gaze and smirked, "Since I was little, have you ever spent a penny on me?"
"Isn't the money from the Wilson family also mine?"
"That belongs to Grandma Wilson!"
"Fine, you brat! I won't argue with you about this. Just tell me, will you apologize or not?" Mrs. Wilson's voice had already attracted several people over.
Isla felt embarrassed and grabbed Mrs. Wilson's hand, saying, "Let it go, Mom."
"No, this brat has to apologize to you today!" Mrs. Wilson was determined to make Abella yield.
"Mom, there are people watching..." Isla was afraid of attracting reporters, "Let's not stoop to her level. Let's go, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future..."
It doesn't have to be here!
"Let go of me, let me teach her a lesson properly. Don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
"Are you done with your act?" Abella had no patience. Are we settling this debt or not? Are you going to hit me or not?
"We have let you go, what more do you want?" Isla had never seen such an ungrateful person who couldn't appreciate kindness unless they attracted everyone around them.
"Oh, of course, you apologize," Abella said slowly and clearly, "If you don't apologize, I'll have the staff pull up the surveillance footage over there."
Although the position of the washroom couldn't be captured by the surveillance, there was a high chance that it captured the location where Abella was about to enter the washroom but was splashed with water by Isla!
Isla looked up and it was true, the surveillance recorded the corridor in front of the washroom, and Abella was standing there just now...
Damn it, if only I had waited longer to splash her with water!
"I can see that you're itching for a fight... asking for trouble..." Mrs. Wilson wanted to step forward and teach Abella a lesson, but Isla held her back tightly.
At this moment, Isla's face turned ugly as she looked at Abella with humiliation.
The onlookers had increased from two or three to four or five. If this continued, it would be a great embarrassment!
"I'm sorry, sister. It was my carelessness earlier..." Isla could only grit her teeth and apologize.
But Abella raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied with her apology, "Should I let everyone see if it was an accident or intentional?"
Isla could only lower her voice and bow down, "I'm sorry, sister. It was my mistake earlier! I won't do it again."
"In the future, stay away from me." Abella threw these words and couldn't be bothered to waste her time with her.
Mrs. Wilson still wanted to catch up, but Isla firmly held onto her arm and pleaded softly, "Mom, please, don't make a scene!"
"Isla, why did you apologize to her? Why are you afraid of her? Just because of her status and money?"
"She slapped you twice. We'd be the party with reason!"
What Isla is afraid of is that her piano piece will be exposed, and that is the real issue!
Clearly, Abella already knows about her stealing the piano piece. Will her next step be to directly expose her?
The piano piece was found by Isla in the room where Abella used to live. Although it only had one climax, she showed it to the piano teacher hired by the Wilson family, and the piece was very well-written, even the piano teacher felt inferior after listening!
She searched online repeatedly but couldn't find any trace of this piece. So she had an idea and took the climax part, and wrote the prelude and postlude herself, and then submitted it. Unexpectedly, it passed and even won second place!
She transformed from someone who didn't understand music theory into a musical prodigy!
After so much effort to achieve her current recognition, she must protect it well. What is an apology worth?!
Abella grew up in luxury and privilege in the Wilson family. Even if she really studied piano and composition, what evidence does she have to prove that the piece is hers?
Isla reassured herself in her heart, not to be afraid, even if Abella insists that the piece is hers, as long as she doesn't admit it, what can Abella do?!
In the end, Abella is still the clown!
At that moment, many people exclaimed, "Lady Rosemary, you've arrived?"
Isla turned her head towards the sound, only to see a woman with a strong presence and great feminine charm approaching. She was wearing an elegant women's suit, looking cool and stylish.
It was Lady Rosemary, the president of the National Piano Association!
Her piano skills were extremely high, and she had won numerous national and international awards since childhood. She had been the president for several years before turning forty, and she was revered as a piano master.
When Isla saw her, she quickly adjusted her appearance and glanced at herself in the mirror. Under the dim lighting, the blush on her face seemed like makeup.
Realizing that she looked decent, she hurriedly squeezed her way forward and confidently introduced herself, "Hello, Lady Rosemary, I'm Isla. I came in second place in the piano competition."
Lady Rosemary initially saw Abella in the crowd and walked over, but couldn't find her and was slightly disappointed.
She looked at the girl greeting her and heard a familiar name, her eyebrows showing some displeasure, "The Wilson family's daughter?"
She had heard Abella mention those scumbags from the Wilson family...
Isla thought Lady Rosemary knew her identity and was happy, but she didn't expect Lady Rosemary's face to turn cold.
