Chapter 589


    Chapter 589


    Quantum got into the drone business because Liam, the big nerd, was into it


    He was all about mechanics and flying stuff, but that’s not what Quantum was all about. Liam started


    messing around with drones simply because the market had nothing to satisfy his geeky needs. So, he


    put together a team and started developing his own.


    Their drone tech advanced way faster than their chip research.


    Their SkyRider Senes,unched by Quantum, was an instant hit with the public.


    Theirtest stealth drone tech even got a thumbs–up from the bigwigs. They’ve already signed a secret


    agreement to join in on the development of war drones.


    It’s like watching your kid, who you’ve toiled over, being dragged off to perform at a show. It’s absurd,


    you don’t know whether tough or


    cry


    Liam, ever the chill dude, simplymented, “The drone flies pretty steady.”


    Nics was left speechless.


    Not far away, Steven frowned as he watched Celeste standing near Skyler.


    Janis, on the other hand, was full of praise. “What a wonderful performance! So heartfelt and creative.”


    Sienna chuckled, “Wesley has always been a bright boy.”


    Valeria agreed, “Wesley’s wit is always a crowd pleaser. But if we’re talking real talent. I heard ir


    oncepeted in a piano contest in Vienna and did quite well.”

    ir hesitated, “I didn’t win any awards. It’s not worth mentioning.”


    Valeria


    countered, “Just making it to the finals is quite an aplishment. There’s a piano here today, why


    don’t you y a piece for Sienna, so we can all enjoy your music.”


    Valenia saw this as a golden opportunity for the Garcia family to make a ssh in the J City social


    circles.


    ir didn’t immediately agree but looked to Janis.


    Janis smiled, “Since your aunt has suggested it, why don’t you go ahead and y a piece?”


    ir approached Sienna and asked, “Grandma, any particr piece you’d like to hear?”


    Sienna replied gently, “ir, y whatever you like. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it


    ir thought momentarily before saying, “I’ll just wing it.”


    Sienna nodded.


    ir walked to the piano, lifted her skirt and sat down. She started to y “Flower Dance“.


    It was a beautiful piece for a birthday party.


    Her smooth performance showed she practiced often and had a solid foundation.


    In contrast to Sydney Denton’s forced elegance, ir was genuinely graceful. Even Celeste, a woman


    herself, admired her.


    As “Flower Dance” neared its end, ir seamlessly shifted to “Flight of the Bumblebee.”


    This piece showcased her skills.


    When the music ended, thunderous apuse filled the room.


    After thanking everyone, ir returned to Janis and said to Sienna, “I hope you didn’t mind my poor


    performance.”


    Sienna echoed her modest tone. “You yed beautifully, don’t be so modest”


    Just as the atmosphere was warming up, Mrs. Kelley said, “I remember Ms. Campbell is also quite a


    pianist, why don’t you y a piece 100?”


    Celeste froze mid bite.


    She must have pissed off Mrs. Kelley in a past life. How else could she always remember her at such


    times?


    Sienna was surprised, “Celeste can y the piano?”


    Before Celeste could respond, Mrs. Kelley jumped in, “Ms. Campbell ys beautifully She stunned us


    allst time on a cruise.”


    Celeste muttered, ‘Mrs. Kelley is exaggerating I can hardly y I fiddle around, but I’m far from


    elegant”


    “Well, this is just for fun or to lighten the mood You could even do a duet with Ms. Garcia‘


    At this point, Celeste wanted to sew Mrs. Kelley’s mouth shut.

    Her skills were only enough to outdo Sydney


    ir seemed interested in a duet and said gently. “If Ms. Campbell wants to y, I’d be happy to


    apany”


    Steven saw Celeste was in a tight spot and was about to intervene when Liam beat him to it, “She


    injured her hand, she can’t y”


    She doesn’t even have a bandage, aren’t they lying?


    Everyone naturally looked at Celeste’s hand.


    Celeste could only force a smile and say, “I have tendonitis”


    Mrs. Kelleyughed. “Ms. Campbell’s illness has impable timing)


    Anyone could understand the subtext.


    Outmatched, she was making excuses to save her face.


    If Mrs Kelley had kept quiet, this would have blown over


    But her remark sparked Celeste’spetitive spint


    She nced at Mrs. Kelley, “I can’t y the piano, but can I give a different gift?”


    Sienna was intrigued, “What do you have in mind?”


    “I’ll paint you a picture.”


    Before Sienna could respond, the others started tough.


    Sienna, seeing Celeste’s confidence, felt sure she could deliver.


    “Of course, you can,” she said and had Liam arrange a table, “Liam, get a table ready”


    ir suddenly said, “Could you prepare one for me too, Granny Reed? I’d also like to give you a


    painting”


    Celeste was taken aback. She looked at ir in surprise.


    Steven’s frown deepened, what the heck was ir up to?


    “Cut it out, ir, he said in a low voice.


    irughed lightly, “Bro, it’s not every day I meet a friend who can paint, I just wanna chat with her a


    bit.”
