Chapter 12


    Mobius’ face turned livid. He clutched Richard’s arm andined, “Listen to how righteous she tries


    to sound about spending other people’s money. And all the stuff she bought is for her. She didn’t buy a


    single thing for Hanz!” Pearl rolled her eyes at Mobius’ints. Night fell. After dinner, Pearl put on


    a simple one-piece dress and went to the concert with everyone. Their seats were in the second row,


    and Abby upied the seat beside Richard. Unconcerned, Pearl sat beside Sean. Soon, the concert


    started and Hanzel stepped onto the stage dressed in a ck suit. As a top celebrity, he truly was


    handsome. The fans started cheering, and Pearl grimaced at the ring noises attacking her ears. For


    the next hour, Hanzel sang many songs. Following that was a special segment. The emcee came onto


    the stage and announced, “Today is the tenth anniversary of Hanzel’s debut, so we have a surprise for


    you. We’re going to pick one lucky fan toe up here and sing with Hanzel!” The audience burst into


    thunderous apuse, and the fans screamed excitedly. The numbers on the big screen started shing


    and finally stopped at number twenty-six. The fans that did not get chosen sighed sadly but soon grew


    curious about who was sitting in seat twenty-six. Sean suddenly eximed, “Holy cow! Pearl, you’re


    twenty-six!” Pearl was stunned. The emcee said, “Let’s wee fan no. twenty-six onstage!” Pearl


    narrowed her eyes and knew there were no such coincidences. She nced at the people beside her


    and saw Abby’s gloating expression. Pearl then understood that someone wanted to see her make a


    fool of herself. But having no choice, she slowly went to the stage. Hanzel was shocked when he saw

    the chosen fan. It turned out to be Pearl. The emcee smiled and asked, “Wow, you’re so pretty, miss.


    May I know your name please?” “Pearl Leighton,” she answered nonchntly. Her statement shocked


    the audience. Pearl? She was the one who had a marriage contract with the Waldorfs, right? And


    surprisingly, she was beautiful. More than half the audience were Hanzel’s female fans who saw him as


    their boyfriend. They started discussing this and looked at Pearl enviously. “Okay, we’re going to cover


    Goodnight by Nancie. You’ve heard of it, yes, Miss Pearl? You only need to sing the chorus with me.”


    Nancie was a famous but also mysterious female singer. No one knew what she looked like, but her


    music was popr all over the world. When the emcee handed Pearl a microphone, she pursed her


    l*ps and said, “Yes, I know that song, but I’m a poor singer. I’m sorry.” The audience started jeering.


    “Get off the stage! How embarrassing! Why do the Waldorfs fancy you when you can’t even sing?”


    “Yeah, don’t stand there with my prince charming. You’re embarrassing.” “Get the f*ck off the stage!”


    Pearl narrowed her eyes. She knew that the person who wanted to see her embarrass herself must be


    having a great time. And she just loved proving others wrong. She took the microphone from the


    emcee and said calmly while looking at Hanzel, “I can’t sing but I can y the apanying tune.”


    The apaniment for this song was yed on the piano. Hanzel looked at her doubtfully. ‘She can’t


    sing but wants to y the piano? Is she pulling my leg?’
