My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 1306 Composition

That kind of headline could directly impact James' career.

At best, one would face the punishment of public opinion. At worst, one could be stripped of one's position.

Having been the wife of James for so many years, Fae had always maintained a humble and low- profile demeanor.

Joseph was also very cautious in his words and actions.

Yet, something had happened. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, Joseph returned, leading Charlotte by the hand. As soon as they entered, they could feel the heavy atmosphere in the ward. He raised an eyebrow. “What's going on?”

“Joe, did you get into a conflict with the Taylor family?” The moment Fae spoke, there was a hint of heartache in her voice. “Why are you so impulsive? The Taylor family is not to be trifled with, and your father has just taken office...”

“How did you know what had happened?” Joseph asked, puzzled and curious.

“You're trending,” Ashlyn explained. “You're being heavily criticized. Netizens are verbally attacking you.”

Charlotte's face turned pale. “I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have had a conflict with Winona... Joseph only wanted to stand up for me, but he didn't expect to be exploited by those with ulterior motives.”

Fae wore an anxious expression. “What are we going to do now? Lottie, you don't need to blame yourself. The Taylor family's arrogance isn't something new.”

Lucas pondered for a moment before saying, “The Taylor family has always been domineering. Winona's father, Gordon, had also wanted to compete for the position of secretary of state, but unfortunately, the president chose Mr. Field. Originally, Ashlyn and I had guessed that if it wasn't the Taylor family behind Mr. Field's injury, it must be some other family playing tricks.”

“We weren't sure at first, but now they've shown their true colors,” Ashlyn sneered without mercy. “Just because Joe pushed Winona a little, and they're retaliating. They rushed to make it a trending topic, trying to smear Mr. Field. They're thinking too simplistically.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures.” Lucas stood up from the couch, his tall figure instantly making the entire ward feel somewhat cramped.

There was a fierce glint in Ashlyn's eyes when she said, “Well, it's time we teach them a lesson.”

As she spoke, she also rose to her feet, standing next to Lucas. She looked at James and said, “We're going home!”

“Ashlyn.” Charlotte stopped her.

Ashlyn turned back to look at the young girl, “What's the matter? Is there something else?”

Charlotte bit her lip, speaking softly, “I'm going to participate in the International Glalie Competition abroad in a few days. Can you come watch my competition?”

Upon hearing that, Ashlyn suddenly felt a headache coming on. “I almost forgot about that. I need to go too.”

“What's wrong?” Lucas looked at her, puzzled.

“Yesterday, my mentor sent me a WhatsApp message, telling me to set off for the International Glalie Competition. He even arranged for me to be a guest performer and said that all my formal wear has been prepared.” Ashlyn let out a sigh. Caleb really knows how to make a fuss out of nothing. I simply don't have the leisure time to be a guest performer.

However, Caleb spoke with such sincerity that she found it hard to turn him down.

The best course of action was to simply agree.

“So, you're going too?” Charlotte felt a wave of relief wash over her, her smile shy and sweet. “Being a guest performer at an international competition like the International Glalie Competition is quite an achievement. I've heard they rarely invite Eurasia musicians, preferring those from Epea instead.”

“In the future, the whole world will be our Eurasian world,” Ashlyn said with a smile. “By the way, which competition category did you sign up for? Is it piano?”

Charlotte shook her head. “It's Mrs. Taylor who decided for me. Composition...”

Ashlyn was taken aback. Charlotte's piano skills are exceptional. If she were to compete in the International Glalie Competition, she would undoubtedly shine, even securing the first prize, without a doubt. Yet, Mrs. Taylor asked her to join the composition competition. It's obvious Mrs. Taylor is doing it on purpose. Composing music is all about innate talent. If one has a strong creative ability, one can try it. However, generally speaking, the composition awards are usually won by contestants with exceptional musical talent. Only those akin to experts can truly stand out in the field of composition.

“Creating these things can be challenging. If you have a composition, you can take it directly to the competition. If not, you'll have to create one on the spot.” Ashlyn turned to Charlotte and added, “If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to tell me.”
