Chapter 542


    Coincidentally, Bailey Ronson walked past the few of them with a ss of wine in her hand in the


    middle of their conversation. When she heard Jeremy Quest’s words, she approached May Conner


    from behind without hesitation. She held onto the wine ss, which she was still drinking from,


    while her other was ced on May’s shoulder as she smiled at Jeremy. “What’s going on? Is Stan


    going to sing on the stageter? Can Stan sing?”


    May immediately picked up the conversation and turned to Bailey. “Of course. X has said that our


    Stan can sing really well.”


    However, Bailey shook her head in disdain. “I don’t believe it…”


    May insisted, “Don’t you believe X too? X has said that our Stan sings much better than


    professional singers.”


    Bailey japed, “Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Stan is her husband, no doubt she’ll


    think that he’s a good singer. Professional singers are trained for years. Ordinary people are no


    match for professional singers anyway.”


    “How would you know?”


    “What’s the point of arguing here? We’ll find out if Stanes on stage and sings for uster.”


    “Unfortunately, it’s not a great idea to interrupt today’s performances. I’ll make sure Stan sings for


    you next time.”


    “No no no… It’s such a good opportunity today. Why don’t we just make it today? Doesn’t Stan want


    to contribute to the charity works? Or does Stan not have the guts to perform on the stage as he’s


    afraid of embarrassing himself because he can’t sing?”


    Following that statement, Bailey’s gaze slowlynded on Stanley Batton’s face.


    She was curious how much better he, an amateur, would sing than a professional singer.


    If he made a fool out of himself on the stage today, it would be a great humiliation to X Quest as


    well…


    In addition to her secret that was yet to be exposed, she would definitely suffer a fall from grace


    today.


    Though Stanley had already seen through May’s and Bailey’s intentions, he remained silent as he


    watched the two echo each other. All he did was gently swirling his red wine from time to time.


    The same went for X.


    On the other hand, Jeremy was extremely irritated by Bailey’s provocation. He frowned and hissed


    in response, “That’s enough. Go back to your seat and enjoy the performance.”


    Bailey’s annoying grin did not falter despite his apparent disinterest. “Look at you, President Quest.


    Why are you getting mad now? I’m just curious about Stan’s voice, am I not?”

    X tilted her body toward Stanley and whispered, “Just ignore the two of them if you don’t want to


    sing at all.”


    Slowly putting down the wine ss, Stanley glimpsed at the Chinese zither ced at the corner of


    the stage and asked, “Do you want me to sing?”


    X answered truthfully, “Of course. It’s a real p in the face if your performance is splendid. But I


    know you won’t like it, so just don’t give a damn about her.”


    Who was he?


    The young master of Dragon Group.


    Asking him to sing for this bunch of people? Was that not ridiculous?


    Stanley beamed at X. “Anything you want me to do, I would love to do it.”


    His one short sentence had already blown her away.


    At this moment in time, she could feel her heart melting away with his words.


    Never in his life had he done anything crazy like this due to his identity. Yet, he was willing to take


    the first step for her.


    “Do you y the Chinese zither?” Stanley asked.


    “I only know a little of it,” replied X.


    “What do you want me to sing?”


    “‘Unrestrained’, do you know that song?” X continued to stare at him, a glint of anticipation in her


    eyes. This was her favorite song sincest summer.


    “Hmm, yes.” He added, “We’ll sing and y the zither together.”


    “y the zither together?” X’s utter dismay was reflected in her eyes. “That requires a lot of


    practices. If we’re going to do it without any preparation, I guess we’ll…”


    “I’ll y the part you sing and you’ll y the part I sing. As for the chorus, we’ll y and sing


    together. Would you like to give it a try?”


    Much to their surprise, X nodded her head even though she had no idea what drove her to do so


    or what gave her the confidence.


    Perhaps, it was all out of trust in him.
