Upon hearing Jaelynn''s words, everyone looked at each other in confusion.


    Martha swallowed nervously and hesitantly nced at the stunning Sylvia. "Could it be her?"


    "It''s highly unlikely... The Hipps family can be saved just like that? How could it be her, so young?" Maritza muttered under her breath. "She looks like nothing more than a pretty face..." "Just an inte celebrity, how could she possibly save the Hipps family? Jaelynn, are you mistaken?" Annika reached out to tousle her wavy hair, looking skeptical.


    Seeing the three sisters still wearing their disdainful expressions, Jaelynn smiled awkwardly and didn''t say anything more.


    She didn''t want to be like Chaya and Niamh, so... she decided to be cautious with her words.


    Especially since she had the lowest status among the four sisters.


    She was an orphan, her parents sacrificed themselves in some exercises, and she became a child adopted by the Hipps family. Her parents used to be subordinates of Old Mr. Hipps.


    In return for their sacrifice, they provided her with food and supported her through college. There was a fundamental difference between her and the children of the Hipps family rtives.


    Although they yed together most of the time, Jaelynn kept her guard up when it came to Sylvia.


    At this moment, Old Mrs. Hipps was radiant. She wore a dark red Tang suit and a string of emerald green beads around her neck, looking extremely elegant.


    Old Mr. Hipps wore matching attire with her. It was clear that these two outfits came from the same brand or designer.


    They hadn''t been this happy in a long time.


    They greeted their rtives to take a seat while enthusiastically introducing Sylvia.


    "Our Sylvia is not only beautiful but also a designer! Did you see? The clothes we''re wearing were designed by Sylvia herself."


    "She''s a designer?" a middle-aged man asked curiously.


    "Yes! She''s a fashion designer and a jewelry designer. Her jewelry designs are highly sought after!" Old Mrs. Hipps was so excited that she sounded just like the olddies at the vige entrance boasting about how much money their granddaughters made.


    "Oh, impressive!" Although the middle-aged man didn''t know who X was, he continued topliment Sylvia to please Old Mrs. Hipps.


    "That''s right, she''s talented in many areas. She can even y the piano. Our family used to have a famous piano prodigy named Yan Jin... Luckily, Sylvia is also a piano prodigy." Old Mrs. Hipps mentioned her poor daughter and her eyes turned red. She awkwardly turned her face away.


    Just then, Louis walked over with a smile, holding up a wine ss. "Grandma, Sylvia is my apprentice. I''ve already passed on my position as the head of the association to her. Unfortunately, she''s toozy toe and take over."


    Some of the rtives who had looked down on Sylvia before, thinking she was just a small-town girl like Larro who hadn''t seen the world, were shocked when they heard Louis personally admit that Sylvia was his apprentice and the future president of the Global Piano Association...


    Suddenly, everyone looked at Sylvia in astonishment.


    They even began to doubt the authenticity of this matter for a moment.


    Jaelynn heard this and looked at Sylvia with envy.


    Not only was she beautiful, but she also had such a great mentor to teach her piano.


    Now that she had returned to the Hipps family, Sylvia would undoubtedly be showered with love and affection.


    Maritza sneered, "It''s just piano ying. It''s not like it''s something extraordinary."


    "Yeah, Maritza, didn''t you win second ce in the Aettosa Piano Competition this year? That''s a national award. Why don''t you show off your skills?" Martha tried to encourage Maritza to steal the limelight. Annika also smiled and said to Maritza, "Yeah, why not perform together? Let''s make a grand entrance."


    After all, Annika had won first ce in the national pianopetitionst year!


    It was a tradition for daughters of the Hipps family to learn how to y the piano. Only a few exceptions were made for those who didn''t like it orcked talent.


    After all, they had Madeleine, the piano prodigy of their family, and re, the globally renowned piano master.


    If the younger generation didn''t learn how to y the piano, it would be an insult to the word "piano."


    Martha and Jaelynn could also y the piano, but only superficially. They didn''t have much talent for musicpared to Maritza and Annika.


    "Do both of you want to perform? How about Sylvia joins you?" Martha said loudly to Old Mrs. Hipps. "Grandma, Annika and Maritza want to perform a piece for everyone since today is Sylvia''s return to the Hipps family."


    With Martha''s words, Maritza and Annika found themselves in a difficult situation and looked at Martha with embarrassment.


    "What''s your name?"


    "If you''re too shy to speak up, I''ll help you!" Marthaughed carefree.


    Jaelynn couldn''t help but smirk at this scene. "Martha is right. If you''re going to do it, do it confidently. Don''t be timid. Go ahead."


    Maritza clenched her teeth in anger. She hadn''t even thought about what piece to perform yet!


    Now she had attracted everyone''s attention.


    Under Old Mrs. Hipps'' suspicious and displeased gaze, Annika put on a warm smile and said, "Grandma, we will be sisters with Sylvia from now on... We want to perform a piece together. Is that okay?" Under Old Mrs. Hipps'' stern gaze, Annika felt as if she had been stripped naked and seen throughpletely. It seemed like all her little thoughts had been exposed.


    She suppressed the stiffness in her heart and let out a gentle sigh.


    Sylvia was truly the real heiress of the Hipps family. In the future, everything would belong to her.


    What good days would they have then?


    When it came to suitable suitors, they would definitely be chosen for Sylvia first.


    She had to n for herself and secure her own benefits so that Old Mrs. Hipps and Old Mr. Hipps could see what they were capable of.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Both daughters of the Hipps family, have the blood of the Hipps family flowing in their veins, why should she be the only one hogging the limelight. Sylvia nced over and saw four uniquely beautiful women, each with their own charms, whether sexy, charming, innocent, or elegant.


    The gics of the Hipps family are good, with outstanding facial features and features.


    Both in terms of figure and temperament, they can be considered above average.


    But... she could clearly feel the cunning smile behind the woman in the backless dress.


    On the surface, she appeared warm and friendly, but there was a hint of calction in her eyes.


    So, is this an invitation for a showdown?


    And invited her to y the piano together.


    Sylvia scanned the hall and noticed a white piano in the corner.


    "Sure, what piece should we y?" Sylvia walked towards the piano, "Should we y a six-hand piece together, or separately? Or maybe you two y a four-hand piece? I y solo? Or... I can y a four- hand piece with either of you."


    As soon as she spoke, it was about ying together...


    Annika felt a little ufortable listening to this.


    Does she think no one has yed a four-hand piece before? What''s going on?


    She felt that Sylvia was deliberately showing off.


    She nced at Maritza, and indeed, there was no tacit understanding between her and Maritza... They both participated in national pianopetitions, won awards one after the other.


    They were oftenpared at home.


    Now... ying together?


    It just doesn''t seem like it''ll work out.


    Maritza''s face was almost frozen from smiling.


    Four-hand piece? Are you kidding me?


    She can''t y that.


    But the thought that Sylvia had juste from a ce like Larro gave her confidence.


    Could it be that Louis deliberately said that Sylvia was his apprentice in front of everyone at the behest of Old Mrs. Hipps?


    Just to boost Sylvia''s status?


    After all, everyone knows that Louis has a good rtionship with the Hipps family.


    "Well... let''s y separately. I''ll go first, let''s y a familiar piece, ''The Blue Danube!" Maritza thought this was like apetition. The first one to y, although it might not be the highest score of the evening it wouldn''t be the lowest either.


    After all, the early bird catches the worm.


    Without waiting for any reaction from others, she walked straight to the piano and sat down.


    Her slender hands touched the ck and white keys, starting her performance.


    Having won national awards, her performance was very pleasant to hear, with almost no ws.


    As soon as the piece ended, the audience immediately burst into warm apuse.


    Maritza breathed a sigh of relief and was somewhat satisfied with her performance.


    Not seeking to be outstanding, but to avoid embarrassment.


    Listening to her y such a simple piece, Annika''s eyes shed with a hint of disdain, "How about this, I''ll y a piece that you rarely hear. Franz Liszt''s ''Feux Follets.""


    As soon as she finished speaking, she saw everyone looking puzzled.


    So she proudly said, "This piece is a daunting difficult piece in the history of piano, in terms of technique, Franz Liszt''s 12 works are excessively difficult, seeming like the ivory tower of piano performance art. Even in the era of pianist


    masters who are like fish crossing the river in the 20th century, few dare to challenge it."


    "Transcendante Edute, S. 139 Feux Follets has a difficult double technique, the most difficult of the 12 supertechniques. Rachmaninoff said it was the most difficult etude, demanding not only sharp skitts, but also a light and interesting performance to impress


    "So, Miss Hipps, are you going to y ''Feux Follets''?" Louis raised an eyebrow, looking at the confident Annika.


    By far, the best performer he had seen y this piece was Sylvia.
