    Just as everyone thought Xenia would give Summer a hard time, the former walked confidently to Josie


    and dered, “As many guests are aware, Mrs. Russell is here today, too, to bless the newlyweds. I


    heard. that Mrs. Russell is a Grade 8 pianist, and I’ve always admired you. Hope we have the chance


    to witness your skills today.”


    Both Josie and Laura were startled. Obviously, Xenia had no good intentions and was provoking Josie!


    Everyone’s gaze was focused on the elegant Josie.


    Arnold, who was greeting the guests, wanted to stand up for Josie but was subtly held back by


    Summer.


    Josie instinctively looked around for Dexter. He was standing diagonally across from her. When the


    warm light shed on the suit-d man’s face, it entuated his dignified aura. Dexter raised his ss at


    Josie and didn’t intend to help her out at that moment.


    He wanted to test how independent Josie could be.


    you, Ms.


    Josie looked at Xenia and replied with a smile, “It’s my honor to have the chance to y with Watson.


    However, we’re here to celebrate the bride and groom today, so I think it’s better not to steal the


    spotlight.”

    The guests fell silent when they heard Josie’s wise response.


    Xenia sneered at Josie in a voice that was only audible to her. “Mrs. Russell, are you intimidated? Don’t


    tell me you don’t know how to y the piano. Is Mr. Russell aware of it?”


    Laura’s expression turned ghastly. “Hey, watch your words!”


    Josie was finally stirred up. She could put up with Xenia’s humiliation but couldn’t allow her to implicate


    Dexter.


    Staring at Xenia with her guard up. Josie clenched her fist and said to Laura, “I ept her challenge.”


    Suddenly, Xenia dered loudly, I’m looking forward to your performance. Hope you don’t mind it.


    Everyone, please enjoy!”


    Josie said with a stone face, “After you, Ms. Watson.”


    Xenia was feeling smug for trapping Josie. As she walked toward the piano, she wondered if Josie


    actually knew how to y the piano. She merely wanted to embarrass Josie.


    Laura was anxious. “Can you y the piano?”


    Josie gave Laura an assuring look.


    Xenia started ying The Blue Danube. During her debut, the agencypany arranged intensive


    sses for her to learn all sorts of skills, including piano. So, Xenia had not forgotten how to y, but


    her fingers.


    were stiff.


    Nheless, her posture was attractive. The crowd was soon mesmerized by her performance.


    Toward the end of the performance, the hall resounded with apuse. Truth be told, the guests


    acknowledged her confidence and beauty more than her piano skills.


    She bowed at Josie and said, “It’s your turn now.”


    ?


    Xenia thought although she was not an excellent pianist, her skills were good enough to defeat Josie.


    She stood beside the piano, ready to witness Josie’s embarrassment and to im her victory.


    In fact, it had been a while since Josie yed the piano. When she sat down and touched the keys, the


    memories and feelings came flooding back.


    She pressed a few keys and produced incoherent sounds, which caused the audience to boo her.


    “She should just get off the stage and stop embarrassing herself…”


    “Ha! I thought she was great.”


    Suddenly, her fingers started moving swiftly as she yed a piece. Her arms moved gracefully like a


    dancing swan.


    She was ying Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2. It was known as one of the most difficult piano.
