With that, he slowly turned around to look at the masked woman who sat in the VIP area as he spoke in a loving tone. “Darling, you know how to play the piano too. Can you please perform a piece for me?”
His low and attractive voice reached everyone’s ears.
When the socialites and rich ladies heard him addressing Janet as ‘darling’, they were so starstruck until they were at the verge of fainting.
On top of that, Young Master Mason sounds as though he is pleading with her!
He actually asked a woman for a favor?
I can’t believe this!
Then, everyone’s gaze fell on Janet, looking forward to witnessing how she would respond.
However, the masked woman merely crossed her legs leisurely, her expression nonchalant.
Upon seeing this, Rebecca smiled slightly and turned her body around as she flipped her hair. “Miss J’Adore, are you refusing to play the piano or do you not know how to play the piano at all?”
How can you expect a woman who suddenly appears out of nowhere to play the piano? Rebecca thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Janet merely smiled at her with her legs crossed.
“It’s fine if you don’t know how to play piano, lest you accuse us of giving you a hard time later on.” Janet’s smile sent sudden chills down Rebecca’s spine, as the latter thought she looked eerie and terrifying.
As soon as she spoke, the socialites and rich ladies exchanged glances with flashes of contempt.
“J’Adore is simply not good enough for Young Master Mason!”
“I know, right? She doesn’t even know how to play the piano—can you believe it? I’ve never seen such an embarrassment.”
“Tsk! Does she look like she plays the piano to you?”
“Alas, Young Master Mason must be blind to fall for a woman like her.”
Janet looked at Mason with a faint smile. Then, she winked and announced casually, “Since my man has spoken, of course I must answer to his request.”
Her words had made Mason, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled expectantly and happily.
At this moment, there was a slight commotion in the party hall. The socialites and rich ladies, especially, discussed vehemently among themselves.
“Is J’Adore really going onstage?”
“I don’t believe it; is she not afraid of embarrassing herself?”
“Is she not worried about being compared with Rebecca?”
“Tsk! She doesn’t know who Rebecca’s cousin is, does she? She is a disciple of Hilbert! How dare J’Adore compare herself to Rebecca?”
“That’s right. We can see for ourselves that Rebecca really has talent.”
“I guess she is going to make a fool of herself later on.”
“Ha! Let’s see, shall we? Soon there will be some jokes to be laughed at.”
Janet tuned out the voices and tucked her hair behind her ears. Under the lights from the stage, she looked arrogant and condescending.
Meanwhile, Rebecca had never thought that J’Adore would dare to walk onto the stage. She stood frozen to the ground for a while before returning to her senses.
Janet took over the microphone from Rebecca’s hands without even looking at her before she spoke to the audience below the stage.
“Since my man has already requested, of course I have to fulfil his wish.”
My man?
The two words had successfully ignited the anger within Rebecca. J’Adore—that f*cking b*tch—is clearly telling everyone here that Mason belongs to her alone, and that no one should lay their eyes on him.
“Miss J’Adore, if you can’t play, just get down from the stage instead of spoiling everyone’s mood.” Rebecca laughed mockingly.
Doesn’t she know her own capabilities?
How ridiculous?
Upon hearing that, Janet merely glanced at Rebecca coldly without another word. However, her stare was icy enough to shut the latter up.
Then, she walked to the piano at the center of the hall.
When she passed Mason by, she even winked at him.
In that instant, his gaze deepened.
