Everyone in the banquet hall looked at Adina. “My sister is excellent at playing the piano.” Dew smiled
faintly and said, “Addy, everyone wants to hear you play. Come on and play a song.” Adina curled her
lips into a sneer. “I don‘t know how to play.”
Dew broke into a sinister smile.
Adina really could not play the piano anymore. It was reasonable, since five years ago, Adina had been
locked away for eight months. After that, she brought the kids overseas. She had been busy taking
care of the kids and earning money every day. How could she have the time to practice the piano?
Once you abandoned a skill for five years, you would be unfamiliar with it if you wanted to pick it up
again.
Knowing how to play piano and playing it well were two different things.
She would definitely beat Adina this time!
Dew suppressed her pride before she added, “Addy, don‘t be humble. We all know how well you played
the piano when we took piano lessons together.” “I haven‘t played it in many years, so I don’t know how
to play anymore,” Adina said indifferently. She did not have to please Mrs. Winters or anyone in this
banquet hall, so there was no need to go on stage and play the piano.
However, the more she refused, the more Dew was sure that she could not play the piano.
“But Addy, didn‘t you tell me last night that you prepared a performance as a birthday wish for Mrs.
Winters?” Dew blinked. “This is a great opportunity. Just come and play a song for everyone. It‘s okay if
you can‘t play it well. Your sincerity matters the most.”
Many men had fallen for Adina‘s beauty, and they wanted to see how gorgeous this lady looked when
she played the piano, so they also tried to convince Adina. “Yes, Ms. Daugherty. Just play a song for
our enjoyment. It‘s okay to not play well. It‘s just entertainment.” Adina smiled and put her wine glass
aside before she walked over in her high heels. Then, she smiled faintly. “Since Dew keeps inviting me,
I‘m just going to make a fool of myself.”
She walked onto the stage and casually tapped on the piano. It was just a general piano, and it had not
been accurately tuned When she listened to Dew‘s piano performance earlier, a few of the notes had
sounded out of tune.
But non–professionals would not be able to hear the wrong tunes.
She sat down in front of the piano, and her fingers paused. “I‘ll just play the piece that you played just
now.”
Caloriin
When Dew heard that, she was happy. The difference could be heard clearly if they played the same
song
Once that happened, Adina should not blame her for being stepped on.
The hall fell into silence, and Duke stopped talking. He raised his head and looked at the woman who
was seated in front of the piano,
She was dressed in a snow–colored gown, and her long hair fell naturally. Her fair skin glowed under
the light of the chandelier.
When her long, fair fingers flew over the black and white keys, delightful piano music echoed in the
banquet hall.
Everyone was familiar with the piece. When Dew played it earlier, they thought she played it very well.
It was like a sample song on a CD.
However, once Adina played it, they finally understood why some people could be enchanted by piano
music.
They felt like they had been transported to a pristine field. The sky was clear, the grass was swaying,
and the air was fresh. On top of that, deers and rabbits were prancing past their feet. The fact that it
could conjure up such images showed that the piece was on a higher level. They moved along with the
music, and in just four minutes, they had seemingly traveled across the pristine forest.
When the song ended, everyone in the banquet hall instantly forgot about the sadness in their life.
The hall was silent at first before a huge round of applause was heard. Everyone‘s gaze changed. “I
haven‘t played the piano for a few years, so my skills have become rusty. Please forgive me.” Adina
smiled faintly and calmly walked down the stage. On the stage, Dew‘s complexion turned pale and
blue. She looked strangely embarrassed as she stood there.
She could clearly hear the discussion in the crowd.
“Ms. Adina‘s piano performance was splendid. She really is better than Ms. Dew.”
“Ms. Dew focused on her technique, but Ms. Adina focused on her emotions, which was how the piece
resonated with us.“
