Beside James, Andrew and Colin were also gazing at the girl on stage with a face filled with doting, their expressions somewhat complicated.
After all these years, the former prodigy, the pride of the Thompson family, had finally returned!
William noticed that Diana had prepared herself and reluctantly approached the piano.
The "Nocturne," a well-known piece, was something he could play.
However, that stubborn woman Diana had a habit of changing her mind at the last minute, which greatly irritated him.
Once he was off the stage, he would make sure to report her to the school authorities!
As William approached the piano, he couldn't help but feel some of his frustration dissipate upon seeing the exquisite Steinway piano.
It would be a waste not to play such a magnificent instrument, and he wasn't about to hold back!
He plopped down in front of the piano.
But as he took his seat, Maddie's face in the audience turn
"Seeing our university president trying so hard to please him, this guy must have significant influence." "Shh, keep your voice down. I don't know why, but I find this man quite intimidating!" "Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one feeling that way! He looks so handsome, but somehow he's scary!" Caleb sat next to Liam and couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, bro, this guy looks pretty mysterious. You've met a lot of people, do you know him?" Liam remained silent, his eyes fixed on the cold and stern figure, revealing a sense of shock. Uncle John? No way! He remembered his uncle John never liking to attend public events, especially such small university gatherings. How could he possibly be here?! This is just bizarre! John took his seat and looked up, only to find the stage empty. He raised his hand and checked his wristwatch. "Hasn't it started yet?" He thought he had missed the opening performance by th
"Diana, I heard you wanted to see me. Originally, I had no intention of coming, but for Maddie's sake, here's the deal. If you get down on your knees and apologize sincerely, I might consider forgiving you!" Luke looked down on her arrogantly, his eyes filled with disdain. Seeing his haughty demeanor, Diana almost burst out laughing. This despicable man thought she would obediently follow his orders like before?! Apologize to him? He should take a good look at himself first. Who does he think he is?! "Luke, after everything that happened, I thought your brain had finally evolved, but it turns out you're still disgustingly foolish!" Diana retorted. "What did you say?!" Luke's face turned pale upon hearing her words. "What nonsense is Diana talking about?" Didn't she say she wanted to meet him in the changing room? What is she pretending now? "Do you even know what you're saying? You called me to t
"You can't imprison me!" Diana touched her own wrist, summoning courage. "There's absolutely nothing between Luke and me. Please, let me explain!""Explain? You were so eager to come and see him. What do you want to explain?" John clenched his fists, turning away. "Take her away!""Yes, sir!"It had been a long time since Boss had been this furious.Jackson didn't dare to waste any time and quickly approached Diana. "Ms. Thompson, let's go.""I haven't betrayed you, John. Just because I appeared with Luke doesn't mean there's anything between us. It's unfair to judge me like that!"Although she had anticipated his reaction, Diana couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.No!She didn't want this misunderstanding, nor the feeling of distrust.She exclaimed, "The person I love is you, John. Please believe me!"Upon hearing her words, John's silhouette stiffened.His heart was filled with a mixture of emotions
"Wait." John uttered one word and prepared to roll up the car window again. Little did he know, Ethan took a step closer and whispered, "Boss, it's about the incident with Ms. Thompson earlier. I need to report it to you immediately." Upon hearing this, Diana instantly thought of something. She immediately composed herself, her face slightly stern, and said in a somewhat subdued manner, "You go down first. I want to be alone for a moment." Seeing her looking aggrieved, as if she didn't want to have anything to do with him, a flicker of contemplation crossed John's face. "I'll be right back." With that, he opened the car door, stretched his long legs, and walked out. As soon as he left, John's expression turned serious. "You better have something truly important." "Boss, I found a video of Ms. Thompson with Luke just now." As he spoke, Ethan handed over his phone. Inside the phone, there was a com
John's words sent a shiver down Liam's spine, his expression now even more horrified. It was already unbelievable to see Uncle John with Diana, but now he actually felt that Uncle John's gaze towards Diana carried a hint of fondness?! It must be his imagination playing tricks on him! As Liam's expression changed unpredictably, Diana silently sympathized with him for a few seconds. It seemed like the impact on this young man was quite significant. Oh, my goodness! She almost forgot! She still had important matters to attend to! Diana quickly snapped out of her thoughts and said, "I need to get back to the university auditorium. You two can continue your conversation!" She shrugged off the hand on her shoulder, shot a disdainful glance at John, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the auditorium. She couldn't afford to waste too much time here. Tonight, she had prepared a big "surprise" for Maddie and couldn't afford to
On the stage, Diana let out a sigh of relief, her fingers poised over the piano keys as she began her performance. The melody flowed gently through every corner of the auditorium, its tones pure yet rich. It was like the winter sunlight, shining brightly and warmly, bringing a sense of calmness. It also resembled moonlight on a hilltop, clear and cold, with an air of solitary beauty. The audience below was captivated by the ebbing and flowing of the piano's melody, their eyes fixed on the young girl on the stage. Everything around seemed hushed, and the whole world seemed to fade away, leaving only her breathtaking figure, radiating an astonishing beauty. Caleb, sitting in the audience, clicked his tongue and couldn't take his eyes off the girl on the stage. He couldn't help but exclaim in awe. Grabbing Liam next to him, he reached out to cover his chest. "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Bro, I think... I think I'm falling for her!" Upon hear
Maddie's face turned pale, forgetting about the piano in her hands. She stood up abruptly, stumbling her way to the front of the stage. When she saw the scene on the large screen clearly, her mind went blank with a resounding buzz. How could this be?! How could there be such footage!!! In the video, she was intimately clinging to William's neck, her eyes burning with desire, displaying an overwhelming sense of promiscuity. The crowd below was already in an uproar. "What the hell?! What's going on here?! Are they acting out a porn scene?!" "I'm confused. Wasn't William Chloe's boyfriend? So, Maddie slept with her best friend's man?!" "This is so disgusting! I'm literally going to puke. A pair of shameless cheaters!" "Maddie always portrayed herself as innocent and kind. My goodness, does she have no shame?!" "Thank God I didn't vote for her as the class representative, competing against Diana? She
James furrowed his brow. Maddie, after all, carried the weight of the Thompson family's name. Being here not only brought shame upon herself but also upon the Thompson family. With this in mind, James's face darkened. "Go back! Give me a detailed account of everything!" One by one, they left the university in a hurry and hastily returned to the Thompson residence. However, Diana, looking at the stern man beside her, couldn't help but furrow her brow. "Why did you follow me?" "To keep you company." "I don't need your company. Go attend to your own matters!" Diana crossed her arms in front of her chest. Hmph, she would ignore him! "I'm not busy. Your matters are the most important to me." John's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly. "It's useless for you to follow me. I won't pay attention to you." "But I'll pay attention to you." Seeing his stubborn demeanor, Diana was
At another table, Frank sat staring at Liam in his smart suit, his brow slightly furrowed."Hey, been causing trouble lately?"Liam rolled his eyes, displeased. "No.""What's with the haircut then? Going for the military look?""My mom made me." Liam sipped his champagne. "She thought my old hairstyle looked too thug-like for Uncle John's wedding, so she took matters into her own hands.""No worries, I think this look suits you."Beside him, Rose tilted her head, looking at him with adoration."You know what? I think any look suits you, I just really like you.""Cough~"Liam choked a bit.He cleared his throat, "Don't say such things in front of everyone.""Sure, sorry~" Rose nodded obediently.Frank thought to himself, Damn. Even my bro's nephew is showing off in front of me? Can't let this slide!He turned to Jenny with a mischievous grin."Jenny, do you think my hairstyle looks good
Upon arriving, she put her hands on her hips, adopting an accusatory posture."Look at this, I left for just a moment, and you're already being targeted by women. How can I ever feel safe letting you go out?"John's deep gaze slightly lowered. "And you?"Diana looked down at the Red Rose in her hand, feeling a bit guilty."Uh..." She reached out and presented the rose to John: "It's for you."John remained silent.Instead, the little baby in his arms stretched out a hand, grabbed the Red Rose, and then happily held it in her arms.Diana chuckled, pinching the little baby's soft cheek."Oh, our Tiger likes flowers~"The little baby stretched out her short arms toward Kevin, earnestly offering him the flower.The little baby handed the flower to him!Diana was astonished."My goodness, Tiger, you can't even speak and you're already trying to win over little boys?!"Truly her daughter!Kev
Kevin pulled on his turtle shell bag strap, seriously said: "I really have to go now, remember, my name is Kevin Nelson."Saying that, he turned his head and was ready to leave."Wait a moment."Kevin stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at him with a complex gaze.What...Did his brother remember something, or was he reluctant to part with him?Yosef picked up a Red Rose beside him."This, take it."Kevin was somewhat surprised: "Give it to me? But I'm a man, why would you give me a rose?""It's not for you."Yosef handed the flower to him, glanced at the distant girl, and said: "It's for her."Kevin: "...I just told you, my sister has a husband and a child, are you still not giving up?"Kevin thought: Oh, no! My brother may falls again in the same place after losing his memory!"What are you talking about." Yosef interrupted his thoughts: "I didn't think about pursuing her."
Kevin let himself be led by Yosef's hand, and they both sat on the swing in front of the flower shop.Once seated, the little kid beside Yosef didn't make a sound.He wore a bowl cut hairstyle, carried a big turtle shell backpack, and lowered his head, lost in thought.Yosef occasionally glanced over at him.After a while, he couldn't remind silence any more."You..."Hearing his voice, Kevin immediately turned his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at him.Full of anticipation.Yosef slowly opened his mouth: "This outfit... who bought it for you?""My brother, what about it?""To be honest, your brother's taste isn't great." Looking at the little one's green onesie, Yosef slightly frowned, "Ugly."Kevin: ……This outfit was something Kevin had insisted on buying for his fifth birthday.He also bought a larger size for Yosef, as matching brother outfits.Although Yosef never wore it,
Hearing this, Kevin covered his mouth: "You mean... my brother's mind is damaged?"Godber corrected: "This is called mental issues.""Isn't that the same thing?"Godber: ...It seems so.Diana frowned. "Yosef lost his memory? With so many enemies, your situation should be unfavorable now, right?"Godber: "Mr. Nelson had already anticipated this. Before completely losing his memory, he divided the remaining power of the Nelson family into three parts, assigning them to the other three members of the Nelson family to keep each other in check, while he decided to retire due to health reasons."Kirin nodded. "So, currently, apart from us and Patrick, no one else in the Nelson family knows Mr. Nelson has lost his memory, thinking he's stepping down due to health reasons."Kevin asked: "Then where is my brother now?"Kirin glanced at Diana and John beside him, hesitating whether to speak.But then he heard John calmly say: "Gri
John's voice had a lazy, sexy edge."Sleep a bit more.""...Okay."Diana turned over, adjusting to a comfortable position, leaning into his embrace.Just as she was about to drift off, she felt the hand on her waist start to move along her curves.Wherever it touched, it ignited sparks.Diana's eyes flew open, and she turned her head.Behind her, John still had his eyes closed, his expression as calm as if he were asleep.But the hand under the covers was very much awake.This beast.Diana turned around and bit his Adam's apple.John frowned slightly, then opened his eyes.His deep gaze locked onto the girl in his arms.As if capturing prey, with a wild possessiveness.Diana knew that look well.It was the same look he gave her last night.She squinted. "Again?"His response was another wave of kisses....Diana became an overnight sensation without an
Reeves turned back and glared at Morse.Wanting to say something to retort against this guy.But he found... There was nothing to say...He looked at the cold and noble man beside Diana and felt an extremely complex mix of emotions.From the moment this man appeared, he knew he had lost.Lost utterly.John slightly lifted his eyes and swept them over Reeves holding roses.Facing the man's icy and profound gaze, Reeves felt somewhat nervous.Just as he thought John would question him, he saw John casually withdraw his gaze and look at the girl beside him."Do you like it?"Reeves: ... This man actually completely ignored me!Being ignored hurt Reeves' pride even more than being questioned!It meant that this man simply didn't regard Reeves as a threat!Unable to help himself, Reeves said."Are you Miss Thompson's fiancé?"Hearing this, Morse behind him covered his eyes with his ha
Hearing this, Frank approached her and whispered, "Big sis, think it through. This guy doesn't seem too smart; having him around might lower our overall standard.""Don't worry, if you can work well in the studio, so can he."Frank: ???Reeves beamed with joy: "Then, Miss Thompson, please accept my flowers first. When I join the Blue Rose Studio, we can get to know each other better.""I welcome you to Blue Rose as a designer, but I can't accept your flowers or feelings.""Why?""Because I already have someone I love."Reeves: ......He opened his mouth slightly, then his expression fell."Who is it?"Reeves scanned the group behind Diana one by one.A bunch of top-notch handsome guys and beautiful girls almost blinded him.This...Each one was very likely!Reeves had a complex expression on his face: "May I ask impertinently, the person you like, is it a man or a woman?"Diana:
Faced with the relentless questions from the reporters, Diana remained calm.She nodded."The name Blue Rose does hold a special meaning for me. As for Reeves, I'm not familiar with him; I have nothing to say.""Miss Thompson, you're so young and accomplished; how about your love life? Do you have a boyfriend?"Hearing this, Ben immediately stepped forward."This is Diana's privacy; we refuse to answer!"The reporters were taken aback for a moment.Everyone stared at Ben wearing a hat; suddenly, excitement surged: "Isn’t this Big Star Fly? Why did he suddenly appear here?"Someone seemed to realize something."Could it be that Fly and Thompson are a couple?!""You're talking nonsense! Diana is my biological sister; stop spouting rubbish here! And this is my girlfriend!"Saying that, Ben pulled Liora over and tightly grasped her hand."This is my girlfriend; Diana is my sister, got it?!"Hearin
