His voice trailed off.
Ethan had been about to joke around, but then he noticed something.
Sienna's vicious gaze.
Grandma Bria's ugly expression.
And
Ryan brooks walking toward Lilith.
Ethan frowned.
Something felt off. Like a trap was closing in.
Lilith, standing still, felt it too.
It was as if two walls were pressing in on her from both sides—Sienna and Grandma Bria from one end, Ryan from the other.
And all eyes were on her.
Sienna was the first to speak, her voice dripping with fake sweetness.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented, Lilith!" she said, her smile not reaching her eyes.
Grandma Bria scoffed.
She gave Lilith a long, scrutinizing look before speaking loudly.
"Where did you even learn to play the piano?" she sneered. "Though, of course, you're whole level worse than Sienna—but still, not bad."
A hush fell over the surrounding crowd.
