204: Speechless
Dylan was stunned by how shameless Emily was. He couldn't believe she was willing to make up such a ridiculous lie just to embarrass him and his daughter in public.His expression darkened as he glared at her."What rubbish are you talking about now?" Dylan demanded. "Have you no shame at all?"Emily merely scoffed."Shame? Rubbish?" she repeated mockingly. "Nothing I've said is rubbish. It's the truth."She folded her arms and looked at him with contempt."When we were married, I thought you were loyal. Who would have thought you'd secretly have a child with another woman outside the marriage? Now tell me, who's the shameless one?"The crowd instantly erupted into whispers. Everyone looked at Dylan and Juliet with shock. Their eyes were filled with disbelief."What?""The child isn't theirs?""I can't believe what I'm hearing.""So Dylan cheated during the marriage?""I never expected something like that from him."The whispers quickly spread through the hall.People who had admired
203: Silence
The party continued as normal. People drank wine, chatted with one another, and enjoyed themselves. The atmosphere remained lively throughout the hall.However, many guests were still discussing Juliet's performance.The little girl had become the center of attention after her astonishing piano performance.Some praised her talent.Others wondered where she had learned such incredible skills.Many simply couldn't stop talking about her."I still can't believe she played like that.""She's definitely a genius.""That child has a bright future ahead of her."Similar comments could be heard throughout the venue.While most people were impressed, not everyone was happy about it.The Maxwell family certainly wasn't.They hated seeing Dylan and Juliet receive so much attention.Oliver and Emily were especially displeased.Emily's expression darkened every time she heard someone praising Juliet.This was the very child she had abandoned.The child she had considered worthless.So why was she
202: Professional.
"Is this for real? Can she actually play like this?" one of them asked, completely speechless. "That melody... that's the level of a professional pianist! How can such a young child play something like this?" "I've never seen a kid perform such a perfect piece before. But this little girl, who isn't even from a wealthy background, can play it so effortlessly? How is that possible?" "This sounds incredible. The melody is flawless! It's better than anything I've heard at a professional concert. It's even better than the first performers!" "The first duo didn't perform anything impressive at all. This is what you call a true gem of a performance!" The audience was completely stunned. Lea herself was shocked by how incredible Juliet's skills were. She had no idea where the little girl had learned to play so well. At that moment, however, she didn't ask any questions. Instead, she simply followed along. The two of them played together, their fingers moving smoothly across the keys
201: Shock.
Lea was confused and thought the little girl was just saying random things. But Juliet tugged lightly at her sleeve and repeated herself."I also want to perform..."Lea smiled gently and said, "It's okay. You don't have to perform if you can't."She didn't think little Juliet could play the instrument.After all, the piano wasn't something an ordinary child could simply sit down and play.But Juliet persisted."I want to..."Before she could finish speaking, Ella noticed them and immediately drew everyone's attention in their direction."Oh? It seems the kid also wants to try out the instrument," Ella said with a smile.The moment she spoke, laughter erupted throughout the hall.Many guests turned around to stare at Lea and Juliet. Some looked amused while others openly mocked them. Ella smirked and continued."If the child wants to come and play, why not let her? She doesn't have to be perfect at all. She can come and make a mess of herself too! She's only a kid!"More laughter foll
200: Perform.
Ella smiled brightly as she thanked everyone for their support and applause.The praise she was receiving made her feel even more confident.Holding the microphone, she continued speaking."Thank you all for your kind words," she said warmly. "Honestly, I'm just very proud of my son."She gently rested a hand on her son's shoulder."He's been talented since he was very young. Whether it's the piano, classical instruments, or other artistic skills, he's always learned quickly."A proud smile spread across her face."Sometimes even I get surprised by how gifted he is."The crowd immediately responded with more applause. Many people were genuinely impressed by the young boy's performance.After all, it wasn't common to see someone his age perform so confidently in front of such a large audience."Ella is such a talented young lady. It's no surprise her son is talented too.""Exactly. Talent often runs in families.""Did you see the way they played together? Their coordination was excelle
199: Scheme
The crowd couldn't hold back their laughter.Many people were still discussing what had just happened as they looked toward Mr. Lou.Mr. Lou stood there, completely humiliated. His face had become extremely ugly.He didn't even know what to say anymore as he stared at Lea's smiling expression.Originally, he had come here to put Lea to shame.He wanted to show everyone that she wasn't as talented as people claimed.Instead, the exact opposite had happened.Not only had Lea calmly dismantled every point he raised, but she had also exposed the flaws in his own methods.In the end, the person who had been embarrassed wasn't Lea. It was him.And it wasn't just a minor embarrassment either.His reputation and professional pride had taken a direct hit in front of a room full of influential people.Mr. Lou simply couldn't bear it. His fists tightened. His face turned red.But no matter how angry he felt, there was nothing he could say.The facts had already spoken for themselves.Unable to en
