Chapter 234


    Seeing that Paige was ying the piano in the talent show, Sophia, who was watching away from the


    crowd, sneered at her.


    Was Paige provoking Paisley? She really was a good-for-nothing for challenging the queen of piano


    because of Joseph.


    She was merely an amateur in the presence of Paisley.


    Later on, when she saw that Paige changed her instrument to the pipa, she couldn''t help butugh


    inside. So, she did know her limits, huh?


    However, the pipa song that Paige chose was very simple and easy. How perfunctory of her...


    If she wanted to y the pipa, she should have chosen a harder song.


    Pipa’s in general had very simple melodies because they were low-sounding instruments that usually


    serve as apaniment. Other than that, the pipa''s note fingering positions were also very easy to


    learn.


    Sophia was sure that Paige would not win, so she also signed up to perform.


    When Sophia was a child, Isabe had spent a lot of effort to train her for her future.


    She had learned to dance when she was a child and yed the piano and Chinese zither. Even if she


    did not get first ce, she would definitely be memorable to the crowd.


    In addition to that, she was very confident in her body figure. She would be sure to win the heart of the


    crowd in the dance performanceter.


    On the other hand, Paige chose the pipa song on a whim. She liked the song and had no desire to win


    first ce.


    After making her selection, Abbie was very satisfied, "Paige,ter when you y, you should have an


    apaniment with someone, so you don''t need to y the pre-recorded part."


    "An apaniment with who?" Paige asked.


    "My brother! He can y the piano and all kinds of musical instruments. If you guys pair up, you''ll


    definitely get bonus votes."


    "That''s not good though, right?" Paige shook her head.


    "What''s so bad about it? I''ve already decided. I''ll talk to my brother now," Abbie went to find Aiden


    excitedly.


    Aiden said slowly, "I''m fine with being the apaniment, but she will have to dance with meter."


    "Do you even know how to dance?" Abbie rolled her eyes.

    "Of course I do. If I agree to this deal, I can also drag James and Michael to apany Paige. I think


    that should be enough for the background music, right?"


    "Yes! That''s enough!" Abbieughed happily.


    With James and Michael, she could imagine how wonderful Paige would be tonight.


    The talent show began.


    Most of the people chose to y piano and dance. The rich people who came here were ready to show


    off their talents. The apuse came one after another.


    When it was time for Sophia toe on the stage. She chose to y the famous song, ''Dried Boat


    Night Melody'', with the zither.


    Sophia devoted all her effort and put on her best performance. She did have the talent in her.


    She was also considered beautiful. Some people watching were trying to figure out who she was,


    "What family is this youngdy from? She''s pretty, man."


    "That''s Liam''s illegitimate daughter, and I heard she aborted a baby with Ethan," Someone who


    recognized Sophia interrupted.


    Their attraction towards Sophia ying the zither instantly disappeared.


    An illegitimate daughter who had an abortion.


    How disgusting!


    Sophia was so engrossed in ying and she wholeheartedly devoted herself to the performance. She


    was expecting warm apuses after she was done, but the crowd was silent when she got up.


    This was not the reaction she had imagined.


    Sophia was extremely depressed, "What''s wrong with these people? Why don''t they know how to


    appreciate my performance?"


    The crowd''s reaction crushed her expectations of being the center of attention tonight.


    Sophia went back to the stage in embarrassment and thought, "These uneducated people don''t know


    how to appreciate a good performance. I guess I''ll have to stun them with the danceter."


    Two groups of couples performed after her.


    The pair that was ying the piano gained warm apuse, while the pair ying the violin also


    received thunderous apuse.


    Paisley came on stage and sat down in front of the piano. She looked fairy-like after changing into a


    long white dress that dragged on the floor.


    She yed the song, ''For Alice. As she was the queen of the piano, the whole hall became quiet when


    she started to y her piece.


    Everyone was immersed in her performance.


    After the song was over, the hall remained silent for a while before the apuse sounded.


    Paisley smiled confidently as she bowed elegantly and thanked the crowd. When she nced at


    Joseph''s seat, the smile on her face disappeared.


    He waspletely out of sight. She had gone on stage tonight to y for him. But he was not even


    here, what was the point of her performance?


    Paisley controlled herself and walked down the stage to Hardy''s side. He gave her a thumbs up and


    said, "That was great!"


    Paisley lowered her voice, "Bro, where is Paige?"


    "She went to get ready. It''s her turn to perform next. To tell you the truth, I''m really looking forward to it",


    Hardyughed.


    "Are you looking forward to watch the performance or the performer?" Paisley hinted.


    "Don''t get me wrong. Let me tell you, Paige''s apaniments tonight are all quite impressive."


    "Quite impressive? Who are they?" Paisley was also curious.


    "Aiden, James, and Michael. That''s impressive enough, isn''t it?"


    "How did she get all three of them to perform with her?" Paisley was a little jealous.


    "Maybe it''s because of her music selection. She was going to y with pre-recorded background


    music, but the three of them volunteered, so there was no need for background music anymore. I think


    everyone will be amazed when they show upter. After all, they aren''t people you can easily


    coborate with."


    Hardy said with some regret, "I was nning to give her the piano apaniment, but James went


    ahead of me."


    When Paisley heard what he had said, a fit of inexplicable jealousy welled up in her heart.


    She was the princess of the evening. Wasn''t Paige robbing her of her limelight with the three Prince


    Charming’s as her apaniment?


    She was solemn. She controlled herself and looked for Joseph among the crowd, but she couldn''t find


    him.


    Paige appeared on the stage with a pipa in her arms. She changed out of her formal dress into a


    traditional Chinese costume.


    In a formal dress, she was as beautiful and eye-catching as a fairy; In a cheongsam, she was an


    innocent and pure girl.


    She sat down on the stage as the lighting changed. Aiden and Michael were carrying different types of


    flutes, and a tall man sat in front of the piano with his back towards the crowd.


    Paisley looked at the man in front of the piano and suddenly stood up, "That''s not James!"


    James was indeed not sitting next to the piano. It was Joseph.


    Joseph was ying an apaniment for Paige? Paisley''s mood instantly worsened.


    Hardy was also stunned, "Huh? Joseph?"


    The pair of siblings did not quite understand why Joseph would rece James. The lights shone on his


    slender fingers as they slid across the piano keys. With the sound of the piano, the audience quietened


    down.


    Joseph was ying the apaniment for Paige? For what? His piano was not even considered to be


    the best!
