Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 506

She turned to look at Rosemary, noticing the young girl’s nonchalance as she expressed heartfelt gratitude and gracefully took her leave.

Damn it, this little wretch must be thrilled to bits on the inside, yet she managed to maintain such a casual demeanor on the outside!

No wonder Serena despised her. At this moment, Alma couldn’t stand it either. She’s such a pretender!

Alma silently vowed to herself that she would one day outshine this girl.

Upon Rosemary’s return to the audience, the students of Westerly College practically hailed her as a legend.

"Rosemary, you’re amazing! How can you play the violin so beautifully? How many years have you been studying?"

"Today, you didn’t only bring honor to yourself but to Westerly College as well! You’re so extraordinary, so wonderful!"

"Rosemary, I admire you so much. I declare from today onwards you’re my idol!"

From the moment Rosemary set foot in Summerfield College, she had brought honor to Westerly College.

As for them, they were just dead weight!

"I think I can smash my violin when I get back. Practicing for all these years, and I’m still not a fraction as good as Rose," one of them lamented.

"I hope Rosemary plays a wrong note just to prove she’s human!"

A freshman with such an exceptional level of musicality, causing such a profound impact. Only then can she achieve higher worth, making life even more beautiful.

"I always thought it was my violin that wasn’t good enough—too cheap—that’s why it didn’t sound as good as the others."

The girl who lent Rosemary her violin confessed, "Until just now, when I saw with my own eyes that the violin I thought was an embarrassment shine in your hands, I realized it wasn’t the violin’s fault. It was me."

"Rosemary, if anyone dares to defame you, I’ll be the first to curse them! You’re so down-to-earth and talented, I won’t stand for anyone talking nonsense about you."

"You’re not only academically excellent and musically gifted but also incredibly beautiful and kind. It’s too much."

Everyone kept chattering around Rosemary until she reminded them to focus and prepare for the competition, and then they finally shut up.

As for Serena, she had no words to describe how she felt.

She thought she would feel satisfied seeing Alma lose, but at this moment, a surge of jealousy and resentment made her restless.

How could that be!

How could Rosemary be so incredible?

Her performance even made Oswald extend an olive branch to her repeatedly!

That’s Oswald!

The president of the violin association!

She knew Rosemary was a great pianist, but she didn’t expect her to be so much better at the violin.

She and Martha even thought about making Rosemary make some mistakes to cover up her own spotlight.

But now, it seemed like Rosemary was good at everything, making it really hard to find fault!

Serena clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She was full of resentment, angry that someone had taught Rosemary so many talents!

She was supposed to be the least favored in the Harris family.

She’s supposed to be living at the bottom!

But now, she had become an unreachable goddess, causing unbearable frustration!

Where on earth did she get such connections, and how did she manage to learn so much in such a short span of time?

Alma was seething, too.

The other day, Rosemary had made a scene at the local country club, standing up for a waiter and causing public embarrassment to Alma and her friends. The incident was still fresh in Alma’s mind.

And then there was the time when their grandmother woke up from a coma.

Both families had gone to the hospital to visit her, and Alma had tried to team up with Rosemary to kick Serena out of the Collins family. But Rosemary had shot her down with cold mockery.

Rosemary had said,

"Has Serena been eating your food, drinking your water, spending your money? What business is it of yours if she stayed in the family? Keep it up, and you’ll be the first one to leave the Collins family!"

Alma had wanted to negotiate with Rosemary, considering that Serena was not of Collins’ blood, while she and Rosemary were the true Collins heiresses.

But Rosemary had just given her a warning look and refused to stoop to her level.

Because of this, her mother, Beverly Collins, had given her a good tongue-lashing when she got home.

Her mother had said that Rosemary would never conspire with her and called her stupid, inferior to Rosemary in every way.

Now, Alma had to find a way to regain her standing!

Half an hour later.

Rosemary waited for the group of classmates to finish their performance onstage before she led her team to leave.

She had to go to another auditorium to check on Joyce and Mya’s professional competition.

As she was passing by backstage, Alma stopped her in her tracks.

"Rose, let’s play a game of chess."

This caught the attention of many people around them.

Was Alma still upset about losing and wanted another challenge?

Soon, people started sending messages on WhatsApp, secretly calling others over to witness that event.

"I don’t have time to play games with you," Rosemary’s tone was dismissive.

She was about to lead her team away when Alma blocked her path.

"Just five minutes! Five minutes to determine the winner."

They didn’t have to finish the game. As long as someone was leading in five minutes, they would be declared the winner.

Rosemary knew Alma was still not over their past conflicts. She wanted to challenge her to a game of chess, which meant her chess skills must be on par with her violin skills.

"You don’t even ask what Rosemary is good at, and you just propose a game of chess. You just want to beat Rosemary at something you’re good at, right? Don’t you think that’s not very sportsmanlike?"

"Fine, no need to play. Rosemary gave it to you."

"You agreed to the bet, and you have to accept the loss. Even that basic principle you don’t understand... oh, I get it, it must be because your teacher wanted to take Rosemary as his last disciple, so you’re feeling unbalanced."

"Rosemary, beat her, show her that there are always people better than her!"

"Let’s go," Rosemary still didn’t want to play with her.

Alma once again blocked her way.

"Just one minute. One minute to decide the winner."

With things coming to this point, Rosemary raised an eyebrow.

She really wanted to compete?

People from Westerly College couldn’t help but retort:

"Have you been pampered from a young age, never lost, so you can’t accept defeat? Rosemary already said she has no time, and you’re still sticking around like a stubborn stain. Haven’t you heard the saying, every dog has its day?"

"What stubborn stain! Alma is the Collins family’s heiress, and if you say she’s a stubborn stain, then you’re worse than that!"

"Exactly, Alma is willing to compete with you. That’s because she respects you."

"A top scorer should be capable of everything, right? It’s just a minute-long game, and you’ve been wasting more than a minute here already."

"Exactly!"
