“Yes. These diamonds are especially marvelous under the lights.”
“Tsk. Tsk. Looks like the Jackson Family really bled themselves dry!”
“Her skin also looks flawless at such a close distance.”
“I agree. Didn’t Young Master Mason’s girlfriend, J’Adore, come here today? She’s definitely not as beautiful as Emily!”
“You’re right. J’Adore looks quite ordinary. It’s only her temperament that is extraordinary.”
“Yeah. She might not be as beautiful as Emily, but her temperament is very alluring. It’s the kind that makes people want to take a second look at her.”
Emily felt a burst of happiness when she heard that J’Adore was not as beautiful as her. Snickering to herself, she thought, There are only a few people in Sandfort City who can beat me in terms of appearance. I’m confident about that! With such an ugly face, it serves J’Adore right!
Emily chuckled and continued talking with the microphone in her hand. “I will be playing a piano piece for all of you shortly. I hope Master Ford and Master Powell who are here today will be able to judge my performance.”
As soon as she spoke with her sweet and melodic voice, murmurs started to rise from every direction.
“Oh my god. Is Emily really going to play right now? This is such an honor.”
“I’m so excited. We get to hear the champion of the World Piano Competition play at this moment, and it’s for free.”
“Exactly. I’m going crazy!”
“Hurry; hurry. Take out your phones to record this.”
If Emily had been the champion of the World Piano Competition, the tickets for each of her performances were going to be at least a few tens of thousands.
Although a few tens of thousands was not much to them, it was still exciting to be able to come in contact with a big celebrity at such a close distance and at no cost.
When she heard the sounds of their cheers, a graceful smile grew on her face.
“You can start now, Emily,” Brian reminded from below the stage as a signal for her to get started soon.
She was still immersed in her blissful imagination when she heard his urges and quickly snapped out of it. I must get the attention of Master Ford, Master Powell, and the men from the three major families. With that thought in mind, she forced a smile on her face and slowly walked toward the piano with the hems of her dress lifted.
She couldn’t help but shudder when she reached out to touch the grand piano that Wesley had given her.
The cold metal edge of the piano instantly brought to life the musical notes in her mind.
At that moment, all eyes were drawn to the girl who was in a white gown.
With a smile on her face, Emily pulled the piano stool out and sat down.
After taking a deep breath, her eyes drifted toward the men in the VIP section and accidentally stumbled upon Henry looking in her direction.
He looked like he was extremely interested.
In turn, his gaze only made her nervous. Even if I can’t have Mason Lowry, Young Master Moss is still not a bad option.
Her heart was pounding in her chest.
She smiled and spoke in a respectful and professional manner. “The song I will be playing is an original called ‘Relentless Glimmer’.”
After she spoke, an enthusiastic round of applause rose from below the stage.
“I didn’t know Emily was this talented. She even has her own original piece!”
“That goes without saying. A student under Mr. Hilbert is surely exceptional!”
“Tsk, tsk. Not to mention, the title of the song is just as great.”
“She looks too beautiful sitting up there!”
“Quiet. Let’s listen to her play.”
In the VIP section, Janet began to laugh the moment she heard ‘Relentless Glimmer’ being played.
