She slowly looked at the people who were mocking Janet before this. Even though there was a smile on her face, she did not look as kind as before. Instead, her face looked rather dark—a rare expression for her.
No one seemed to expect that Old Madam Lowry would say something like that, so the socialites and rich ladies who looked rather gleeful just now were now looking at Old Madam Lowry with dumbfounded expressions.
At this moment, Mason spoke. “It depends entirely on her when she would like to become the Lady of the Lowry Family.”
When the socialites and the rich ladies heard this, their faces fell immediately with a look of incredulous in their eyes.
Does Young Master Mason mean as long as J’Adore agrees, they will hold a wedding and get married immediately?
He’s the most powerful man in charge of the economy of Asia, yet he still has to take cues from a young woman on when to get married?
Everyone was stunned upon hearing the words from Old Lady Lowry and Mason.
At this moment, seeing that the party was about to start, Magnus asked tentatively, “Young Master Mason, since the party is about to begin, shall I ask my daughter to perform a short piece on the piano to hype the atmosphere up?”
Since Mason knew about this beforehand, he nodded and walked down the stage as he held Janet’s hand.
“Rebecca, it’s your turn to go on stage now, quick!”
Magnus quickly pushed Rebecca out of the crowd and asked her to take advantage of this opportunity.
Initially, Rebecca was still deep in shock and hatred; it was only until Magnus pushed her that she regained her senses.
Since it was an indisputable fact that Old Madam Lowry had already approved of Janet, Rebecca could only grab this performance opportunity so that Mason would notice her.
Hence, she forced a smile as she slowly walked onto the stage.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was completely on her.
With a smile on her face, Rebecca pulled out the piano bench and sat on it.
Then, she glanced at the audience casually, only to realize that Mason was looking at her nonchalantly.
His gaze had made her excited and nervous.
Mason is looking at me in front of J’Adore?
Does that mean that he’s interested in me?
Rebecca’s heart thumped furiously as she imagined how good the experience would be when they slept together after the party ended.
Seems like I don’t need ecstasy anymore.
Thinking about that, Rebecca straightened her back as the smile on her face widened.
With a smile, she announced, “Next up, I will play Bellini’s Réminiscences de Norma.”
With that, encouraging applause rang from the crowd, as though the birthday party was her very own concert.
The audience then commented, “At such a young age, Rebecca already knows how to play Réminiscences de Norma. She’s such a genius!”
“It’s certainly impressive. I wonder how the performance will be.”
“Her cousin, Emily, is the disciple of Hilbert’s master. I’m sure Rebecca is quite good as well.”
“Is that true? So is it also true that Emily went to Yobril to further her studies?”
“Yes. Emily also has a sister, Janet, who’s studying medicine at Woodsbury University.”
“I see. Seems like the Jackson Family can be proud of them.”
Among the audience, Esme waited for Rebecca’s outstanding performance.
As the first note rang out under Rebecca’s fingers, a beautiful melody soon reverberated in the huge party hall.
Magnus had prepared the best speakers and the best piano, so the performance would naturally be pretty good.
The hall was abnormally silent as everyone paid attention to Rebecca’s performance.
When it was over, thunderous applause boomed from the crowd.
