As soon as Sabrina heard that, she happily exchanged glances with Peter."By the way, Mr. Olsen, I have a sister who has also been learning piano since she was young. She also wants to join the National Piano Association and give it a try. Could you make an exception and let her play a piece?" Sabrina looked at Brian with expectation as she gently asked him.Her sophisticated demeanor left everyone in awe. She was good to Lucille and always wanted to get her involved whenever anything good came up. Still, Lucille always gave her a hard time, making everyone think Lucille was somewhat ungrateful. Bailey and Lucille were too far from the entrance to hear the conversation.Soon, everyone gathered at the center of the banquet hall, where a white piano had been placed on the stage.A man in a suit came up on the stage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are honored to have the renowned pianist, Mr. Brian Olsen, join us at this recital. Let's welcome him with a round of appla
After Sabrina went onstage, she confidently looked at the crowd. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed someone familiar standing behind the crowd and smiled happily. The crowd didn't notice her smile."Now, I will perform a piece I wrote myself. I hope you'll like it."Meanwhile, Bailey and Lucille looked in the direction of Sabrina's gaze and saw Harold standing behind the crowd. Bailey tutted disdainfully, while Lucille glanced at him indifferently before she averted her gaze. At this moment, Sabrina was brimming with confidence. Many people were looking at her with admiration, which she loved.Bailey looked at the stage and saw Sabrina dressed in white. To outsiders, she probably seemed like an angel—gentle, kind, elegant, and talented, embodying all the good virtues—but Bailey despised her act."Look at her, acting all superior. What an eyesore!" Bailey muttered.Then, the melodious music began to fill the banquet hall. Sabrina, dressed in white, seemed to blend with t
Brian's words made the crowd think that Sabrina was impressive. If they were in her shoes, they wouldn't be able to compose any notes, not to mention that reading music scores was like reading a foreign language. Sabrina was momentarily stunned by Brian's comment before she regained her composure. "Thank you for your acknowledgment. This is just the basics; I still have a lot to learn. I hope I'll get the opportunity to learn from you." Her modesty and eagerness to learn garnered even more admiration from the crowd.Brian didn't respond to her. Instead, he asked, "Didn't you say your sister wanted to perform a piece? Where is she?"Everyone instantly turned their gazes to the low-profile Lucille.Bailey whispered in Lucille's ear, "Babe, it looks like you're the third performer." The two of them had no choice but to walk toward the center.Sabrina immediately greeted Lucille with a warm smile and said gently, "Mr. Olsen agreed to let you perform a piece."Lucille glanced at Sa
The crowd was dumbfounded. They had a feeling that Brian was afraid of Lucille.Bailey's eyes widened. She was surprised that Lucille knew Brian.Sabrina was even more shocked. She was stunned when she heard Lucille address Brian as "old geezer". The unexpectedness of the term, coupled with Lucille's nonchalant delivery, shocked everyone."Do you think I'm unaware of your ulterior motives?" Lucille asked bluntly, without showing any respect to Brian.Brian replied, "What ulterior motives could I have? I'm just here to see you. It's so hard to meet you."Sabrina's face turned pale when she realized Brian had come to see Lucille. She wondered if they really knew each other."Mr. Olsen, I thought my dad was the one who invited you to Whiteloop City," Peter said in embarrassment and confusion, his expression turning grim.Brian's expression became serious when he looked at Peter. His attitude toward Peter was different compared to how he treated Lucille."Your family invited me, bu
Facing Lucille's harsh words, Sabrina's face turned pale, and she couldn't say a single word.Bailey was the happiest of all. She thought Lucille was impressive. The latter was usually silent, but she startled everyone whenever she spoke.The crowd was confused and didn't know how to react to Lucille's words"Lucille, stop talking nonsense! The real villain here is you. You're shameless and despicable. You always want to take everything from Sabrina." Lorelei, ever the die-hard fan, scolded Lucille angrily.Suddenly, someone stood before Lucille. She glanced at the familiar figure. He stood before her and shielded her, making her cold gaze soften."Don't you dare scold my sister!" Jonathan stood in front of Lucille and glared at Lorelei, who was pointing at Lucille.Lorelei was momentarily stunned by the tall and handsome Jonathan. Then, she noticed that he was different. Although he was five feet and eleven inches tall and looked mature, like an adult. Yet, he behaved like a k
"Alright, that's enough. I heard you," Harold interrupted Lorelei."Harold, are you blind or deaf?" Bailey was annoyed. "Why are you blaming Lucy for causing trouble? Sabrina started it!"Harold's annoying behavior drove Bailey speechless. He had been present the entire time and heard everything. Yet, he had reprimanded Lucille for causing trouble. He had obviously lied through his teeth."If you want to defend your lover, just say so!" Bailey was furious and confronted Harold. "Stop slandering Lucy with your baseless accusations." Others might be afraid of Harold, but she wasn't. Harold hadn't expected Bailey to go out of her way to defend Lucille boldly.Meanwhile, Bailey's words aroused everyone's suspicions. They wondered who Harold's lover was.Lorelei and Sabrina were the only ones who had gotten into a fight with Lucille. As everyone knew, Lorelei was Harold's cousin. This could only mean that Sabrina was Harold's lover. Everyone was shocked by the sensational news. Aft
The crowd hadn't expected Harold to announce his engagement.Sabrina was momentarily stunned before she was overwhelmed with happiness. She leaned into Harold's embrace and raised her head to look at him affectionately. Harold lowered his head and looked at her warmly, too.Everyone wasn't sure what to say as they watched Harold and Sabrina look at each other affectionately. Some found it unacceptable, but given the Quall family's status, no one dared to say anything for the time being. Meanwhile, some secretly posted a video of the scene online.Sabrina hadn't expected this turn of events. Since Harold had announced their engagement, there was no longer a need for them to sneak around. She could openly be with him. The piano recital had turned into a place for them to flaunt their relationship.…"I can't believe that bitch lucked out!"Lucille and the others walked out of Ivory Hotel. Upon thinking of Sabrina's provocative gaze, Bailey got angry."Harold had no choice. Since
After Bailey heard what Lucille said, her eyes widened in anger. "I can't believe there can be such heartless parents in the world. Not only did they abandon him, but they also abused him. What's the point of having such useless parents?"Bailey couldn't find the words to describe Jonathan's parents. "Are they even human?"Lucille shared the same sentiment. She'd bumped into Jonathan a month before she'd gone abroad. She'd happened to pass by the alley by a store and seen Jonathan. Back then, he'd only been 13 years old, and he'd been as thin as a stick. He'd looked dirty and had been hiding in a corner, every inch of his skin covered in bruises.Initially, Lucille had wanted to ignore him. After all, she wasn't a saint. However, after she'd glanced at him, she'd noticed his guileless gaze despite being scared and trembling. She hadn't had the heart to abandon him. So, she'd reported it to the police so they could keep him safe.She'd never expected that she'd need to go with
