They were even more intrigued now.The middle-aged woman next to her said, "Okay, let's gamble!" Gale agreed without changing her expression, looking very calm. "Okay. Well, if Joshua wins the championship, each of you will give one thousand dollars. If he doesn't win...I'll give you one thousand dollars each!""Such a small bet. Why are you looking down at us." "Yes.""Gamble more."Gale laughed.They were sending free money to her.All right, then accept it!Anyway, she had to pay a lot of medical expenses."Then you can say as much as you want. I can do it," Gale replied."Everyone... five thousand dollars!"She replied, "Okay."Seeing her so happy, the parents looked confused."Don't play tricks, Joshua's mom! There is no evidence for what you say… You have to sign a contract!"Gale played on.Not only had she written, signed, and pressed her fingerprint on the contract, but she also asked the parents who participated in the bet to sign.In this way, when the com
The host passionately introduced, "The next player is the younger participant in this competition. He's only three-years-old, but he has managed to stand out from the many contestants and attracted a lot of attention. He's called a piano genius that comes out only once every century!""He's a favorite to win it all and is the dark horse of this tournament. What will he do after this? Let's wait and see.""Come, let's give the warmest applause and welcome, Joshua Warm!" Everyone started to applaud loudly. Under the lights, Joshua wore a suit and tie as he earnestly walked toward the piano.He sat on the bench and placed his hands on the white and black keys.Joshua took a deep breath before he looked at the host and nodded.The lights on the stage slowly dimmed, and only he was left illuminated.He looked incredibly pure.As the first note was heard from Joshua's fingertips, everyone below the stage exclaimed.Quite a few judges even stood up with looks of excitement and app
It was as if he lived for the stage and for the piano!The crowd at the plaza could not resist clapping for him, even though they were looking at a screen."Whose son is this? What a genius.""If I were his mother, I'd probably even be smiling in my sleep."I really want to pinch his face.""Boohoo, I really want to get married and have a child now."Shawn said, "I'm really starting to wonder who his mother is. What kind of amazing woman managed to raise such an excellent son."Joe had a serious look on his face, unable to smile at all. He was in no mood to enjoy that difficult piano performance.It was because he felt like the little boy looked a lot like Shawn from certain angles!They were incredibly alike!It even made Joe wonder if he was Shawn's long-lost son.They were so alike that Joe wanted to pay a visit to the old Wood residence to ask Lucas for Shawn's younger pictures. He wanted to compare them with this little boy!However, Joe forgot about that idea.Gale w
No one dared to say anything around them.Those who had worked together to bully Gale had completely forgotten all about it.Just thinking about the prize money she would get, Gale was even happier. They were going to get both money and reputation!It had been so long, and there was finally some good news for the whole family!"Alright, alright. Judges, please don't get too excited for now. Let's allow Joshua to rest first. As for becoming a student… You can talk about it after the tournament," the host said.Joshua suddenly raised his hand.The host knelt down and passed the microphone over. "Come, Joshua has something to say.""Thank you, judges, for your favor, but I don't want to affect the later contestants. Let's finish the tournament fairly first. Thank you," Joshua saidHe bowed before leaving the stage in a cool manner.The contestants after Joshua were under a lot of pressure.That was because no one could play a song better than his!It was the hardest song in t
They started to mock Gale coldly again.Gale did not bother with them. Instead, she frowned as she looked over at Joshua.He furrowed his little eyebrows a bit, but he still maintained his natural composure.At that moment, the screen showed all the audience votes.The votes were rapidly increasing.Joshua was firmly in the first place.Gale quickly calculated in her head. The judges' score took up seventy percent of the points, so being 0.1 points lower, how much would Joshua need in terms of votes to secure first place?She was quite anxious, so her mind did not work as well as it usually did.Before Gale could finish calculating, Nicole suddenly pointed at the screen and shouted, "Mommy, look!" She saw the number of votes behind Joshua's name rapidly increasing.Before a minute passed, Joshua's votes had already exceeded the votes the second place got by three times! He was firmly in the first place!The voting period was already counting down."Ten, nine, eight, seve
He already knew he would win the tournament anyway.It was something completely within his expectations.Gale let out a slight smile at his son's cool expression. However, she felt a pang in her heart.He was so much like Shawn.The two of them were so alike. They were never surprised by anything. No matter what, they were always calm. It was as if nothing could shake their hearts.Why are you acting so cool for?! Brat, you can cheer and shout. You're the champion! That was what went through Gale's mind."Alright, everyone, let's listen to what Joshua has to say as the champion."Taking the mic, Joshua said coolly, "Thank you, everyone. Thank you for all those big brothers, big sisters, aunties, uncles, grandpas and grandmas who voted for me."The host said, "You can tell us how you feel about becoming the champion.""Oh, I have nothing to say. I already knew I would win anyway," Joshua answered.Those words were so arrogant.They were even more arrogant than how Gale had
Gods!Joe was shocked yet again!Gale had a set of twins back then!Aurum had hidden it so well, only telling Joe that Nicole had leukemia but not saying anything about Joshua. Joe never expected it at all.After all, just the existence of Nicole alone was shocking enough.No wonder he kept on feeling like Joshua really looked like Shawn. He had thought that he was overthinking things. It turned out that his thoughts were absolutely correct!Furthermore, Joshua Warm. His surname was Warm!That was Gale's name too!Joe was completely shocked at that moment.His face constantly twitched. If it were any other moment, Shawn would have noticed it.However, at that moment, Shawn was also deep in shock.Fate really was hard to explain."Molly, so she's Joshua's mother!" Shawn stared at the screen. "This time, Molly won't be able to escape!"No wonder Joshua suddenly appeared in the room when he and Arthur were in the room.Molly had brought him there!Shawn thought about it
The moment Gale left, the camera panned over!If she had just been two seconds late, she would not have been able to escape!It was incredibly lucky!Gale patted her chest, still a bit worried. "I forgot to tell Joshua not to mention my name when he gets his prize…"Thankfully, he said she was Molly and not Gale!Otherwise, she would not be able to do anything! There would be no saving the situation!"Mommy, why are we standing here?" Nicole asked."Because… Because… Once Joshua gets his prize, he'll leave here. We're just waiting for him."Nicole nodded. "We can go home with him!"After that, Nicole corrected herself, "No, go back to the hospital!"Gale patted her head. "We'll eat a good meal with Mrs. Zoe to celebrate Joshua winning!""Okay!"The finals were over, but Gale had forgotten about one thing.After the tournament, the first two places need to be interviewed by the media! The interview lasted an hour!She called the director, "Hello, I am Joshua's mother."
