Audrey managed to hypnotize the guests with the beautiful music she played.Everyone was completely mesmerized by Audrey's playing and they enjoyed it very much.Some people whispered that they felt the presence of Paradiso performing the music."Yes, you're right. I feel the same way." A woman in a silver dress commented to the friend next to her."It's true, isn't it what I said? I closed my eyes to enjoy it and I felt Paradiso playing instead of Audrey."They weren't the only ones who felt that way, several others did as well.Fifteen minutes of Audrey playing the music with Drizzt as her accompaniment. The combination of music playing is very mesmerizing.Even Daniel was surprised by Audrey's performance. Audrey's ability to play the violin has improved very rapidly in five years.Daniel did not expect Audrey to be this good.He remembers very well how it used to be when Audrey first tried to learn to play the violin. Daniel found her in the library with the violin in her hand and
This issue went everywhere. Several people began to approach the crowd as news of Drizzt asking Audrey if she was Paradiso spread instantly.The news also reached Patricia's ears and she immediately walked over to Drizzt and Patricia.Audrey was honestly too lazy to respond to all this. It felt like whether she was Paradiso or not wasn't important enough for people to know,Audrey scratched her itchy temples feeling pressured by the demanding gazes of the people there."You think that she is Paradiso?" Patricia suddenly came over and said sarcastically to Drizzt with a dismissive look at Audrey. "Seriously, there's no way she's Paradiso. Paradiso is old. About fifty years old if I'm not mistaken," Patricia continued."It could be that the rumors are wrong. In fact, until now, no one has been able to prove how Paradiso is." Drizzt looked at Audrey and was convinced that she was Paradiso."Oh, come on, Drizzt, she can perform the music, that doesn't mean she's Paradiso."Audrey breathed
Suddenly Patricia had the idea to humiliate Audrey again. If Audrey said she was just a beginner violinist, especially since she had only learned from a violin teacher to play basic notes, it meant that Audrey's ability was not greater than hers.Unlike herself who has been taught for the first time by Drizzt who is a professional violinist and great musician.Patricia was more confident now."Audrey, you said that you can play Erlkonig, right?" Patricia began to open her voice.Drizzt raised one eyebrow to look at Patricia, if Patricia was like this, he knew that Patricia was planning something right now."Yes, I can play it," Audrey replied."What a coincidence that I can play it too, how about we play the strains together? Let Drizzt and everyone else here judge our skills. Are you willing?"Everyone suddenly exclaimed excitedly in favor of the competition. They commented and whispered to each other."Wow, this is going to be a spectacular show.""Yes, you're right. I can't wait t
Now Audrey and Patricia are up on stage ready to start their act together.Before they started the game. Patricia has thought of a way to secure herself.Then Patricia approached Audrey and said to her. "Audrey, I will start first, then you will connect the next part, after that we take turns playing the next part," Patricia instructed Audrey. It sounded like an arrangement, but Audrey didn't care.Patricia deliberately did that so that she would get the easiest part while Audrey played the most difficult part.Audrey responded casually, it didn't matter for her to play any part because Audrey had mastered the music.The strains of Erlkonig had become her daily bread. Audrey liked the music. Therefore she practiced very seriously and as a result, she became accustomed to performing Erlkonig without experiencing the slightest difficulty."Okay," Audrey said then without worrying about what Patricia wanted.Even if she wanted to humiliate her this time, Audrey could guarantee that Patri
Never in the history of her life had Patricia been so embarrassed as she was now. It felt like she was losing her face now.People were laughing at her and some were sneering at her. Before this Patricia was sure that many people liked her because she was a professional musician, but now Patricia's eyes were wide open. Those people will very easily turn to others if something bad happens to us.Patricia bowed her head, tears falling down her cheeks now.Bryan rushed up to the stage to help his daughter. He was furious with what had happened to his daughter. Especially when he saw Audrey who was still continuing her game without caring about Patricia at all.That woman really has no heart. Out of respect for Patricia's incident, Audrey should have stopped her game, but she didn't do that.Bryan stared intently at Audrey."Are you okay?" Bryan asked once he managed to help Patricia up.Patricia still hung her head in shame, then she glanced sharply at Audrey who was still playing Erlko
Bryan's eyes were red with anger as he saw Audrey put the violin before Patricia."The violin is not more important than Patricia, don't you have the heart to see your brother hurt like this?" Bryan shouted angrily.His shout drew the attention of many people there.Reporters rushed to set up their cameras. Another incident was about to happen and it was a breath of fresh air for the journalists.How they were in a news paradise right now. Since the beginning of this event, there were so many materials that would become news and would benefit the media.Audrey turned to Bryan with one eyebrow raised. She was surprised by Bryan's remark that Patricia was his sister.Really? At a time like this Bryan just mentioned that Audrey and Patricia were siblings. Whereas before, let alone admitting, juxtaposing himself with Patricia alone the old man would never be willing.Then Audrey also turned to Patricia who was standing next to Bryan, watching the woman from head to toe.Audrey gazed with
Audrey noticed Daniel's gaze. She had also guessed that Daniel would question her.This could not be allowed. If this misunderstanding continued then Daniel would assume the wrong thing.That man was very intelligent. Daniel could very easily deduce things based on his observations and it usually never went wrong.So Audrey's task now was to prevent Daniel from assuming that Alea was not Nicky's child.Daniel must not find out that Alea was the man's flesh and blood.Audrey became panicked herself. She looked at Nicky and asked herself. How could Nicky's mother say and assume that Alea was adopted? Only she and Nicky knew about Audrey's life journey and who Alea was.Audrey did not understand how Nicky had explained to her parents who Alea was.She had told the Wilson family that Alea was her biological daughter. So why this misunderstanding?The atmosphere was suddenly very awkward. Some people who didn't know them were whispering to each other about it.Patricia and Bryan glanced at
Nicky's father considers it a disgrace to be pregnant outside of marriage. Back when Nicky brought Audrey and Alea before him, he was very much against their relationship.He asked Nicky to leave Audrey, but Nicky was adamant about being with Audrey. Nicky loved her very much and said he would never abandon his child with the woman he loved.Seeing how tiny the baby Audrey was carrying, Nicky's father finally relented. He lets Nicky have a relationship with Audrey. As long as his son is happy then for him it doesn't matter that Nicky lives with Audrey.However, he was a little worried. His wife didn't like that and he suspected that she was deliberately saying that Alea was adopted because she didn't like Nicky and Audrey's relationship.The guests who were there began to gossip about the family. Especially Audrey at this time. They said that Audrey deliberately framed Nicky using her p
Audrey let out a long sigh, she felt that Vincent was not her rival, so she was not interested in racing with him at all. Besides, she had more important things to do than just racing.Audrey shook her head. "I don't want to," she said, taking another swig of her drink and casting her eyes forward. "Why don't you take the other racers? With your family's last name, you can take them all instead of wasting time with me."Vincent chuckled. He just wanted to compete with Audrey, the woman who had beaten him out of boredom. The more Audrey rejected him, the more curious Vincent became about her."How can you like car racing? From the looks of you, you're not the type of woman who likes a challenge."Audrey laughed. "What you see is not necessarily the truth," Audrey said ambiguously.That was also what was currently happening to her. What she had seen from Daniel, how he had tried to convince her that he would love her for life and it turned out to be nothing but nonsense.Audrey was now
Audrey broke away from Vincent, she took a deep breath before returning her facial expression, trying to look normal.No, she wasn't crying. She must not cry. Daniel couldn't make her like this."Are you okay?" asked Vincent as he searched Audrey's eyes.She then squinted at Vincent. "Yes, I'm fine," she said firmly. Refusing to be looked at with a pitying gaze.Vincent pointed at Audrey's wet under-eye. Audrey immediately wiped it away and said loudly that she was not crying. "I got dust in my eyes earlier," she reasoned.Vincent smiled at her. Even under these circumstances, the woman still showed her pride.Audrey's hand looked up at Vincent. He frowned, not understanding what she wanted."The car keys. Give it to me, let me drive. You're too slow to drive." Audrey complained.She wanted something to get her adrenaline going right now. That way, it would be easy for Audrey to forget for a moment what made her heart so disturbed.Vincent seemed hesitant to give it to her, so Audre
Seeing that, Audrey couldn't resist going deeper and checking further.Audrey moved into the living room without Lili's permission. She knew she shouldn't have done such an unethical act, but her heart couldn't resist finding out more information.Asha was too clever to manipulate Audrey's feelings right now, so she could no longer think clearly and only suspicion dominated her mind.Audrey examined the living room carefully, then who knows what wind made her step back in without the owner's permission."What exactly are you looking for?" Lili asked Audrey. She knew that the woman in front of her right now was her boss's ex-wife. And because Lili had a specific purpose, the woman deliberately ended up confessing."Do you live alone here?" asked Audrey who seemed to be still examining in detail everything she passed."No, I don't. This is my house and Daniel's too."Audrey flinched for a moment at that, before she went back to her normal demeanor, trying to hide the hole in her heart.
"I can't come with you! I have something important to do!" Audrey refused when Vincent tried to force her to sit in his car.Audrey tried to leave, but Vincent pulled her back."All right, I'll drive you. Anywhere, I'm ready. As long as we can talk," Vincent said with a little force. He didn't mean any harm by forcing Audrey, all he wanted was a one-on-one talk with her.Audrey knew that he wouldn't mess with her. She looked at Vincent's face with an expectant expression.Not wanting to be the center of attention of the many people who were already glancing in their direction, Audrey was forced to follow Vincent and sat in his sports car.Audrey told him the address of her current destination and Vincent agreed to drive her. Along the way, Vincent continued to talk to Audrey about many things.He was still talking about what happened a few years ago.Audrey was not interested at all. Moreover, Vincent is one of the Anderson family members. First Daniel, then Asha, and now Vincent. It
Savi realized that she was being influenced by Asha's words. The woman was either intentional or not, but now Audrey began to think about it.Audrey admitted that she could not just close her ears and heart to what Asha said.And now she is very upset and has a prolonged dilemma.Initially, Audrey wanted to give Daniel a chance to fix everything. Start all over again. Maybe a new relationship would be much better for them.Especially now that Alea and Kenzie are filling their days. However, now Audrey feels that she is too naive.Daniel doesn't need her. Audrey should have realized that. Audrey felt that she was very stupid and she was sure that Daniel would consider her a woman who was easily tricked.Audrey exhaled slowly. Swallowing her heart so as not to affect her mood and behavior today. Some children were currently watching her.Audrey did not want the children to feel that her mother was not okay. Earlier, when they found out that Audrey's hand was injured by a knife slice, th
Audrey used the contact name viewer app even though she did not save the number.Asha. What else could she want? As Audrey remembered, Joni would take care of her.Audrey thought for a moment whether she should answer or not. Finally, she decided there was no harm in answering the call. Audrey wanted to know what the woman wanted to tell her."I thought you wouldn't answer my call," Asha said in a voice that sounded like it was smiling."What do you want?" she didn't want to waste time on small talk. After all, Asha wouldn't have called her just to say hello.Asha laughed. "I admit that you are indeed a smart woman. Unfortunately, your intelligence can't make Grandpa Abraham melt and accept you. You will never be accepted into the Anderson family. So don't even dream, Audrey."Audrey rolled her eyes in disgust. "So, you called me just to talk about this insignificant matter?"Asha was surprised that Audrey was not affected by her words at all.She thought Audrey would be upset or some
"Stop meddling with my personal life, Grandpa," Daniel warned Abraham. He took the last sip of his glass and left.Daniel briefly glanced at Asha who was currently choosing to look away.As the man exited the living room, Daniel bumped into Vincent who had just come down the stairs.Vincent didn't know what Daniel was here for and why. What was clear was that he didn't care. Vincent nodded in greeting to the man and Daniel nodded back. Afterward, they went their separate ways.After Daniel left, Asha looked very upset. She growled and held back her frustration. Asha did not expect that Daniel still liked Audrey. Even though five years have passed, the man still harbors his feelings for Audrey and Asha hates that right.Abraham saw Asha's unhappy expression."What's wrong, dear?" asked Abraham who immediately approached Asha."I hate Audrey, Grandpa. That woman always takes what I want. I'm upset and sad because Audrey has damaged a car that is very valuable to me." Asha bent her face
"Audrey!"When Asha said that name, Daniel immediately went silent.Now he knew the reason behind Audrey's morning rage and her coldness towards Daniel. She didn't like the car being given to Asha.If that's true, it means that the car is a special memory for Audrey so she doesn't want Asha to have it ...Knowing this, Daniel secretly smiled faintly.He felt happy, because that way, Audrey had shown her jealousy."You have to talk to Audrey so that she doesn't do whatever she wants. That car means a lot to me because it was given to me by you, but out of jealousy Audrey just destroyed it. She should realize that now-""Asha, enough," Daniel warned her. He didn't want Asha to sneer further at Audrey.Asha's mouth fell open when Daniel said that.She knew from that that he was still very much in love with his ex-wife.Asha did not like to see it. After five years, the woman should not have to come back and create new problems.She hated Audrey, and now Asha should be able to try to get
After finishing their porridge, the two children grabbed Audrey's attention and asked her to read them a royal fairy tale.Alea loves stories about kingdoms and now she wants to hear a fairy tale about a princess who is rescued by a prince. Kenzie, who has rarely heard a fairy tale, is eager to experience the same thing as Alea. He wanted to hear Audrey tell the story.So he readily agreed and looked very enthusiastic.Audrey was going to take care of some work that had previously been emailed by Joni, but once she saw the hopeful eyes of her two children, Audrey decided not to do it and instead chose to accompany them.Daniel, who was still struggling with the laptop in front of him and the pile of documents on the side of the table, occasionally glanced at Audrey.He noticed how Audrey gave warm affection to their children. Daniel's heart warmed instantly. He secretly smiled, though not fully.As he was enjoying this warm scene suddenly the ringing of his cell phone distracted Danie
