    Chapter 216


    Ste set the cup down, moved up to the piano, and carefully sat down The piano was ancient, and it


    paled inparison to the high-end beautiful instruments shown outside. An off-key tone could be


    heard as she gently ced her fingers on the piano keys, She scrunched her eyebrows, said nothing,


    and began to y a simple rendition of “Ode to Joy.” It wasn’t that good because the notes were off-


    key. Before she could finish the whole song, Mr. Kennedy interrupted, “Weston said you learned piano


    before. How can you mess up such an easy song?” “I’m sorry. I haven’t really mastered the


    techniques.”


    “I won’t build instruments for those who can’t y them,” Mr. Kennedy scorned. “No matter how


    excellent the instrument is, you can’t release its full potential if you’re ipetent on it. People would


    laugh if they find out you yed on my piano.” To him, the piano wasn’t merely a lifeless contraption,


    but a life that contained a soul. He would rather destroy a piano than give it to a performer who couldn’t


    perform well. Ste knew that he probably had a prejudice against her, so she put on a humble attitude


    throughout the end.

    When she was with Weston, they were polite to her but once he was away, they showed her their true


    colors. When it came to cheating, the weaker one always ended up taking the me. She was a


    woman and the fairer one in the rtionship. No one would care if she was forced or if she did it


    willingly. With her face devoid of emotion, she merely smiled and looked at Mr. Kennedy. “The piano is


    so off – key; I wonder if something nice cane out even if you y it, Mr. Kennedy.” Kennedy


    narrowed his eyes, eyeballing her from head to toe. When he firstid eyes on her, he knew she was


    the resolute and unyielding kind of woman. While she yed the piano, he could tell that she had good


    basic skills, a good attitude, and was very humble. But something wascking. Her rebuke earlier


    showed him her true colors. “Since you knew it was off-key, why didn’t you say a thing? How should I


    know whether you’re telling the truth or making up excuses?” “The key is indeed off. It doesn’t matter if


    you make a piano for me. I just hope that you won’t misapprehend the next person thates here.”


    Ste stood up. “I don’t really want a piano anyways, since I don’t have much time to y it. I really


    don’t deserve one. Even for Weston’s sake, it’ll be a waste if make one for me. It’ll be better to give it to


    those who need it more.”


    Mr. Kennedy grinned and brushed his beard. He stopped Ste just as she was ready to go.” Hold on!


    You said Weston forced you toe here. He’ll raise issues for me if you go away like that.”


    “I’ll tell him myself,” she said without turning her head. “You really don’t?” he asked with some apathy. “I


    thought about it earlier, and I was going to make a grand piano for you. It’s such a shame that you don’t


    want it anymore.” Ste instantly froze in her tracks and gawked at him, shocked and speechless.


    It was as though Mr. Kennedy had transformed into a whole new person, one that had way less hostility


    toward her. “I don’t care about the matters between you two. I just want an honest person ying my


    instrument… to give it life…”


    As he spoke, he suddenly became serious. “I don’t know why, or what you have to hide, but don’t forget


    your original intention… and don’t lose yourself in material things.”


    Ste stood there without saying a word.
