Chapter 403


    Even if I were to show them something, given how mean Aunt Lisa looks right now, she’d probably


    continue to nitpick and point out my ws. So, mess with someone else if you’d want to. I don’t have time


    for the likes of you.


    Evan threw himself in front of Nicole and red at Lisa coldly. “I’m the one who’s getting married. Her


    looks and talents don’t concern you, so long as I’m satisfied.”


    Lisa put on a concerned look. “Evan, we’re saying this for your own good, as your elders. You can’t be


    rude to us!”


    “Are you upset because of what I’ve said? Well, let me tell you. Your words are even more upsetting to


    me. So, please shut up!”


    “You—”


    “Today’s the day that Evan hase home with his fiancée to meet the elders. Let’s not dampen the


    mood.” Sofie quickly stepped forward, seeing that Lisa couldn’t hold out much longer. “Let’s celebrate.”


    “Celebrate? How?”

    There was a hint of a smile in Sofie’s eyes, as this was her chance to present herself and her chance to


    humiliate Nicole by showing that she was more talented and educated than thetter. “How about I y


    a piano piece to show my blessings?”


    Sophia froze. What is she up to this time?


    “You shouldn’t have invited her, Mom.” Davin sighed. “She’s Aunt Lisa’s niece. Just look at the way that


    they’re behaving. It’s evident that they’re trying to make Nicole look bad.”


    “God, how could I have overlooked this?” Sophia mentally smacked herself in the face. “I thought that it


    would make sense to invite them over since the Sweeting family and the Seet family are family friends.


    What should we do now?”


    Davin looked at the calm andposed Nicole as he uttered, “It should be fine. Nicole’s no easy target.


    Besides, even if she can’t handle it, Evan wouldn’t just stand idly by. Let’s just watch.”


    Sophia nodded upon consideration.


    Sofie performed a challenging piano piece.


    Her expression was right on as her fingers moved elegantly on the keys, ying a rich and melodious


    tune that touched the elders’ hearts.


    Nicole’s lips quirked up in a half smile.


    She had to admit that Sofie was really adept at ying the piano.


    Evan, on the other hand, had never kept his eyes away from Nicole while Sofie was ying.


    Sofie rose to her feet at the end of the performance and gave everyone a bow, drawing apuse from


    the elders.


    “Bravo! That was amazing!”


    “Sofie is certainly a socialite! As expected of the upbringing from a noble family!”


    “Indeed!”


    As elders, they simply couldn’t understand why Evan would have fallen in love with a nobody like Nicole,


    but not Sofie, a woman with a decent background.


    “What do you think about Sofie’s performance, Ms. Lane?” Lisa piped up, opening fire at Nicole again.


    “Ms. Sweeting yed beautifully,” Nicoleplimented generously. “I suppose that you’ve been


    practicing since you were a child?”


    Sofie put on the front of a refineddy smugly. “Yeah, my parents had sent me to various talent sses


    when I was young. Why don’t you y a song for us too to enjoy?”


    “I can’t y the piano,” Nicole replied straightforwardly.


    Sofie feigned surprise as she asked, “Ms. Lane, how could you not…”


    Is it a shame that I can’t y the piano? I grew up with hardships in the Lane family. There really wasn’t


    a chance for me to take extra sses.
