Chapter 757:
Now, as Carrie spoke about her grandmother, Reece couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that there was some
connection between the two. He began to suspect that Carrie's grandmother might be the runaway relative he
had heard about.
Reece lacked any solid proof to back up his suspicions. And with Gracie gone, no one could say for sure what
story she and her family had been hiding.
Rather than voicing his concerns and unsettling Carrie, he subtly steered their conversation in a new direction.
“Arion’s heading to the Music Association today. Since your leg’s improving, this could be the perfect chance for
you to join him and meet his mentor.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarrie nodded eagerly.
“Alright!”
The Music Association.
As Carrie followed Arion through the hall, they stumbled upon the ongoing new member assessment.
The performance hall was buzzing with energy. In addition to the candidates auditioning, music academy
students and high-society guests gathered to observe.
Carrie and Arion had to pass through the hall to reach their destination.
They had only just entered when Carrie's gaze landed on Aliza stepping onto the stage.
Carrie paused in her tracks, transfixed by the sight of Aliza. Dressed in a champagne-colored gown, Aliza exuded

Noticing Carrie's fixed gaze on the stage, Arion gently tugged at her sleeve and asked,
“Do you want to keep listening?”
Carrie tore her eyes away, shrugged, and said,
“No point. It’s all flash and no substance. Let's go.”
Though they kept their voices low, a few people seated nearby caught their words and turned to glance at them.
When their eyes landed on Carrie, the reaction wasn’t one of admiration. Instead of appreciating her beauty,

critique.
Among the crowd, a few socialites who followed the Morrison brothers took notice. One, recognizing Carrie,
immediately pegged her as a fame-seeker.
“If Arion had said that, it would make sense. But who does she think she is? Sno-nactress daring to
critique the Music Association's selection?”
