    Chapter 132 Lowly People Will Never Make It Big


    He had plenty of ways to silence these people.


    Chloe blinked and said, “It’s not about fighting over a piece of bread, but about fighting for dignity. Just


    answer my question.”


    ‘Embarrassed?’


    Joseph chuckled and replied, “You’re overthinking it. If there’s anyone who’ll end up embarrassed, it’ll


    be you. 1


    Words caught in her throat, Chloe was unable to retort. In this case, she did not need to worry about


    anything anymore. Just as the host hesitated on whether to skip this part and end the event, she stood


    up.


    “Can I have five minutes to prepare?”


    Her voice was sweet and melodic as it echoed throughout the exhibition hall.


    The host was stunned for a moment before smiling. “Of course.”


    As the crowd watched intently, Chloe took her seat in front of the piano. She took a deep breath, gently


    rested her fingers on the keys, and began the process of familiarizing herself with the instrument.


    “Hah, what a poser. There’s no benefit in putting on airs and pretending to be something you’re not.”


    Jane stifled augh, her face turning red from the effort of maintaining herposed demeanor as a


    refineddy. Yet, her eyes were brimming with excitement and anticipation.


    She had been practicing the piano since childhood and had obtained a Grade 9 certification at an early


    age. When Chloe made a fool out of herself, she would step in and save the day.


    Sebastian alsoughed joyfully, well aware of Chloe’s boldness.

    Women from lowly backgrounds would never make it to the big stage. Sebastian estimated that Joseph


    would soon understand this truth, and realized that his sister was the most suitable candidate to be his


    wife.


    After five minutes passed, the host approached and inquired.


    Chloe nodded solemnly. “I’m ready.”


    “All right, I’ll pass the floor to you then, Ms. Chloe.”


    Chloe’s outwardposure belied the nerves bubbling within her. She flexed her fingers a few times,


    envisioning the melody in her mind. As her fingertips gently touched the intermingling ck and white


    keys, a remarkable sound emerged from the piano, filling the air with its enchantment.


    The piano notes flowed like a meandering stream through the mountains, winding and twisting, taking


    unexpected turns, all while bearing a captivating melody. The song’s gentleness and soothing quality


    resonated with the depths of the soul.


    The smile on Jane’s face froze as she stared wide-eyed at the person on stage.


    ‘How could this be happening? How does this wretched girl know how to y the piano?”


    The stage lights above illuminated Chloe, highlighting her slender and graceful figure. She appeared


    delicate and innocent, yet the music that flowed from her fingertips carried an undeniable power.


    Joseph silently watched her, feeling an inexplicable sense of joy welling up within him. It was not


    because she yed well and protected his reputation. Rather, he realized that this woman harbored a


    multitude of concealed virtues. The more time they spent together, the more of her remarkable qualities


    he discovered.


    She was born in the marshes, but unexpectedly emerged with resilience and blossomed into a radiant


    flower. Such a rare species was truly precious.


    As the song came to an end, the host was the first to apud, followed by the rest of the audience.


    Chloe smiled shyly and said, “Thank you, everyone. To be honest, I only know how to y this one


    piece. I hope you don’t think too highly of me. Ms. Jane was right. Ie from an ordinary family and


    am not as privileged as all of you. Therefore, my exposure to certain things is limited. I apologize if I


    made a fool of myself.”


    Her straightforwardness won her the favor of many, and their perception of her changed for the better.


    Joseph was somewhat surprised by her words. He cast a deep gaze at Sebastian, who was wearing an


    unpleasant expression, and pondered thoughtfully.


    ‘Perhaps I can help the government to punish those who disregard thew.”


    After Chloe stepped down from the stage, the host picked up a small hammer and struck for the first


    bid. “700,000 dors going once!”


    “750,000 dors!”


    “800,000!”


    “850,000!”


    As Chloe listened to the voices bidding over one another, she discreetly asked Joseph, “Did you hire


    some people to bid?
