Adina sat in the front row with her children. Many people frowned when they saw them.Spoiled brats were not welcome in piano concerts in any country. More than half the people present regarded the four children as rich, spoiled brats.Some were even willing to drive them out if they disrupted the concert.“Look, the queen is here.”Everyone turned to look at the entrance and saw an elegant woman surrounded by many people.Adina also looked at her. The queen didn’t look much different from when she had appeared on TV. She was young, elegant, and noble.Queen Mavice was in her early forties. She took good care of her health, so she looked young and strong.The queen sat on the VIP row with everyone’s attention on her, right in front of Adina and her children.The piano concert officially started.The performers were the youngest mixed pianist duo in Yggdra. They were going to perform a duet. They played it beautifully. Sometimes the music was warm and soothing and other times i
The selling point of the piano concert was Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, and many in the audience had especially attended the concert for precisely that piece.People sighed in disappointment when they heard that the pianists could not play this piece today.Queen Mavice slowly stood up and prepared to leave.“Your Majesty,” Adina said in fluent English, “If you’re not in a hurry, could you kindly spare five minutes to listen to my daughter play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor?”Queen Mavice turned around. “Your daughter?”“I can play the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor,” Melody stood up and said bravely. “Mr. Albert is my teacher. He said that I understand this piece very well. Your Majesty, I hope you can give me a chance to play it.”She was dignified and self-assured. She was neither humble nor arrogant. Everyone was stunned at the child’s confidence.“Mr. Albert? Is it the Mr. Albert I know?”“I had long heard that Albert had accepted another student. Could it be th
It reminded him of Melody’s silence in the past month. Melody did not speak much, so he thought she knew nothing. Melody was more sensitive than anyone else. She knew that something had happened to her father. She just couldn’t articulate it in words.She was frightened and restless every day. But now, her fear had passed since she had finally seen her father.She could now play this piece calmly.When the fear passed, the music turned lively. The reaction from the audience also changed.When the two excellent pianists played, even they could not immerse themselves in the music completely. But this little girl, who was only four years old, made them feel the fear and anger and sadness of the composer.The little girl’s piano skills may not be perfect but the way she conveyed emotions in the music was outstanding.It was no wonder Albert had accepted her as his student.The piece slowly came to an end. Everyone was shocked and amazed in equal measure.There was thunderous appl
Adina and Queen Mavice sat opposite each other in a coffee shop. The children laughed and played at the next table.“I envy you,” Queen Mavice sighed. “Having quadruplets means that the most important thing in life is achieved.”Queen Mavice only had one daughter. Her daughter did not have the qualities of a queen, so she lost the opportunity to compete for the throne. If Queen Mavice could have another child, she would not need to worry about losing her power.“The princess is only seventeen years old. She is still a minor, so her future is full of possibilities.” Adina smiled. “Your Majesty, as long as you’re willing to give her a chance to prove herself, I believe that the princess will grow up and become an honorable queen.”“There is no point even if I give her a chance,” said Queen Mavice sadly. “The cabinet has already proposed. If she can’t set an example as a princess before she is eighteen, she will be disqualified from competing for the throne.”Adina pursed her lips. S
“Because he is just an ordinary person who wants to live a peaceful life,” Adina slowly said. “He can be completely free only when the Black Party disappears.”Queen Mavice pulled the brim of her hat low. “Okay, I’ll trust you for the time being. When should we start?”“The action plan still needs to be discussed in person. In a few days, Terry will secretly come to meet you. You’ll know when he does.”Queen Mavice tore the document into pieces and poured coffee over it to blur the writings on it before throwing the pieces into the trash can.Queen Mavice nodded and left.“Mommy, did you succeed?” Harold asked.Adina patted his head. “I think we did. You all did very well today, especially Mel. You played the piano splendidly! I got to invite the queen for coffee because of you. Tell me what you want to have for dinner. My treat!”Melody blinked. She thought for a while and said, “I want roast pork.”Adina smiled. “The roast pork here is not authentic. Let’s go to the supermark
“Flint Morton, I know where you live!” Jasmine was adamant. She held her phone tightly to her ears and emphasized every word. “I’ll be at your house soon. Wait for me.”Flint was enraged. He took a deep breath to calm himself. “How do you know where I live?”“I’ve been following your whereabouts, and I also know that you have a woman and four children by your side.” Jasmine’s voice became icy. “Adina is with you, right?”Flint held his forehead. “You sent someone to follow me?”“That’s not it. Based on your bank card spending information, I found that you are in Yggdra. After asking a few people, I found out who was around you.” Jasmine chuckled. “Duke was looking for Adina in the country, but his newlywed wife eloped abroad with you. If Duke knows Adina is living in your house, will Morton Corporation be safe from a crisis?”Before Flint could answer, she happily said, “I’ve reached your house. Open the door.”Flint looked up and saw a taxi parked outside the mansion. Jasmine w
Karl sneered. “Who do you think YOU are? Why are you putting Flint in an uncomfortable situation? You try to coerce him to date you but when I do the same, it’s repulsive to you? The way you feel disgusted when a random man says he loves you is the same way you disgust Flint. Get out!”Bang!Karl shut the iron door.Jasmine was furious. She kicked on the door, but it only hurt her toes.She pointed at Flint. “How could you do this to me for Adina? I’ll make you pay for it! You will suffer the consequences of being with Adina!”Flint stared at her. “Whatever. I’ll wait for it.”He then turned and walked into the mansion without a second glance.Karl said worriedly, “The Duke in Cairnstan is quite capable. If he comes here, it will be troublesome.”“The real Duke is now the leader of the Black Party. The Black Party did all kinds of evil deeds, so how can they be afraid of Earl?” Flint became serious. “Duke hasn’t recovered his memory, so the two brothers might not fight.” Flint
When Adina and the children were finished with the grocery shopping, they returned to the mansion.The children sat in the living room watching cartoons, while Adina went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Flint followed her.“I drove Jasmine away,” he said while peeling the beans. “I’m sorry, Addy. I didn’t pay attention to my spending, so Jasmine used it to find my location. Fortunately, she didn’t meet you.”“It doesn’t matter even if she meets me.” Adina pursed her lips. “I avoided her because I didn’t want to cause trouble. However, I won’t be so generous if trouble comes to me. Jasmine is not stupid. She is likely to contact Earl. I tricked Earl, so he will probably come to find me in person.”Flint sneered. “If he dares to come here, you and Duke can catch him and deal with him.”Adina lowered her head and prepared the ingredients. Duke had lost his memories. It was unlikely that he would kill someone who looked exactly like him without knowing everything. Even if Duke recov
