A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

A soft and delicate air echoed in the piano room. Everyone who heard the sound of the violin instantly fell silent, slowly admiring it.

– Oh my god, it’s actually the disappearance of Mr. Timothy.

– This is the best version I’ve ever heard. It is exactly the same as the original.

– No, it’s the original version.

– Stop talking. Everyone, listen carefully.

Everyone is silent. They listened carefully to the sound of the violin coming from the piano room. One of them closed his eyes to feel each note.

Kelly’s heart raced. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the door to the piano room, her mind racing.

Only M. Timothee could perfectly play the air of nostalgia with the violin.

At the thought, she was so excited she could barely breathe. She knew that Mr. Timothy wanted to use this method to silence everyone.

Kelly wasn’t the only one to think so. The other students thought so too.

Malia looked at the piano door with admiration. She closed her eyes and listened intently to the sound of the violin. Her eyes opened and her heart started racing. The person in the piano room must be Mr. Timothy.

Could it be that he’s been in the piano room since early morning?

Did Mr. Timothy intend to train with her?

Malia’s face turned slightly red. His lips curled slightly, forming a happy smile.

She gave Kelly a satisfied look. Luckily, Kelly had helped her answer her juniors and had spoken very appropriately. She didn’t have to worry about offending Mr. Timothy for saying the wrong thing.

The violin music in the piano room gradually stopped.

Everyone was still immersed in the song “Yearning”.

After a while, everyone came to their senses. They looked at each other. Although they were curious about the person in the piano room, no one dared to step forward to investigate.

They were very afraid of angering Mr. Timothy if they entered the piano room without thinking. If that happened, their future musical career would be ruined.

Everyone was both curious and frightened by Mr. Timothy. They all felt uncomfortable.

At that moment, someone in the crowd asked:

– Senior Malia, is the person in the piano room Mr. Timothy?

– That’s right, that’s right. Was M. Timothee playing the violin just now? This song is exactly the same as the one on M. Timothee’s album.

– The live version is even more shocking than the disc.

– M. Timothee is truly amazing. If only I could be a tenth as good as him.

– If I can participate in Mr. Timothy’s concert, I think I can die without regrets.

– Mr. Timothy is a god forever.

Everyone spoke one after another, confirming that the person in the room was indeed Mr. Timothy.

Apart from him, no one else in this world could play such a beautiful violin piece.

A classmate looked at Malia longingly.

– Senior Malia, I’m really jealous of you. Not only did he name you as his musician, but he also came especially to practice with you. I’m already crying with envy.

– It’s true, it’s true. Mr. Timothee must have appreciated the potential of Senior Malia. That’s why he trains Senior Malia so seriously.

– M. Timothee is so nice to Senior Malia. If it was me, I’d rather be single for the rest of my life.

– Forget that. Even if you are celibate for ten lifetimes, you don’t have the capacity. Senior Malia is a talented person. And you, what do you have? You are just fat.

…

Listening to the envious praise of her classmates, Malia’s lips curled slightly. She was overjoyed.

She hadn’t expected to get so much benefit from taking someone else’s place.

Right now, she only hoped that the person she replaced never knew for the rest of her life. His future was bright, and no one could stop him.

She, Malia Rodriguez, was sure to become a famous musician.

Malia smiled lightly at all her classmates and said humbly

– Thank you all for your affirmation. Mr. Timothee has chosen me, and I will certainly study twice as hard so as not to embarrass him. Each of us will meet our own Bo (a historical figure known for his good judgment of horses). Each of us is our own protagonist, so we don’t have to envy anyone. We just have to work hard ourselves.

In the piano room, Lucia frowned upon hearing Malia’s hypocritical voice. She whispered disdainfully, “Why do I feel like she’s giving an award speech?” Is there something wrong with his brain? If she hadn’t taken your place, would she be where she is now? She is just plain cheeky.

Lyana smiled softly and said:

– In effect.

The people outside kept talking at the same time.

– Senior Malia, since Mr. Timothee came to our school to train with you, why not ask him out so we can meet him in person?

– Yes yes. Senior Malia, hurry up and invite Mr. Timothy. We want to hear a few words from him.

– Senior Malia, please.

…

When Malia heard the words of her classmates, she looked troubled. Now she just wanted to perform in front of Mr. Timothy, so she explained

– Students, I’m really sorry. I can’t go against Mr. Timothee’s wishes. He always kept a low profile. He does not want to appear in public. If I invite Mr. Timothee out, doesn’t that go against his initial intentions?

Seeing that her classmates had stopped talking, she continued, “If everyone really likes Mr. Timothy, then please pay more attention to his works. The music from the concert will also be released as an album. Please buy it and collect it. It is the best support for Mr. Timothee.

Lyana stood in the piano room, listening to Malia’s righteous speech. His lips curved into a cold smile.

If Malia hadn’t replaced her, and if she really were Mr. Timothy, she would certainly have thought she was an obedient and sensible girl. However, there is no “if” in this world.

Lyana placed the violin in the case and headed for the door with Lucia.

When the people outside heard footsteps approaching, they held their breath nervously and stared unblinkingly at the door to the piano room, quietly waiting for Mr. Timothy to appear.

Lyana opened the door to the piano room. Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, she came out with the violin on her back.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Lucia closely followed Lyana.

When everyone saw Lyana, they were all amazed. Confusion was on their faces.

Lyana received everyone’s stare and looked puzzled.

By then, Kelly was completely stunned. She didn’t expect Lyana to come out of the room.

What was happening ?

How could the person in the piano room be Lyana?

Hadn’t Lyana already gone home? Why was she in the piano room?

Kelly clenched her fists as she stared at Lyana.

Malia sensed something was wrong with Kelly. She turned to look at Kelly and realized Kelly seemed to know this girl.

Kelly recalled Malia once reminding her not to let Lyana into that music practice room. She thought she had gone home, so she paid no attention to Lyana.

What she feared would happen. Lyana had actually come to this music training room.

Kelly secretly blamed herself. She remembered now. Lyana must have heard from her that Malia had met Oscar here. She ran to pretend to meet Brother Oscar by chance, and wanted to seize the opportunity to take the place of Sister Malia.

She was just an intriguing bitch.

With that thought in mind, Kelly took a step forward and asked coldly:

– Lyana Dubois, what are you doing here?
