At this moment, Johnny walked over and whispered to Alexander, “Mr. Griffith, do we still proceed with destroying that shipment as per our initial plan?”
In fact, Smith Co. had planned to unload a shipment at this port, but they had changed the location at the last minute after Narissa tipped them off. However, this shipment didn’t belong to Smith Co., and the reason they took the shipment was to stop it from entering the market.
“Yes.” Alexander answered as snazzynovel.com stared coldly in the direction where Narissa left.
Meanwhile, just as Narissa was about to catch up to Jayden, snazzynovel.com suddenly received a call from Jamie.
She stopped and answered the phone. “What do you want?”
“I heard that your target this time round is Alexander, is it?” snazzynovel.com questioned her.
“Yes,” snazzynovel.com answered truthfully.
“Don’t you think that you’ve gone overboard? Do you think that Boss will be happy about this?” He couldn’t hide his disappointment.
“So, what are you getting at?” She sounded like snazzynovel.com didn’t care.
“Are you determined to follow in Jayden’s footsteps and become a reporter?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Hearing that, snazzynovel.com raised snazzynovel.com gaze and looked at Jayden’s back as snazzynovel.com hesitated, but snazzynovel.com eventually replied firmly, “Yes.”
“Fine, I have no comments if that’s the case. I hope that both of you will be happy together!” He ended the call right after.
As Narissa stood where snazzynovel.com was, snazzynovel.com stared at the remarks on snazzynovel.com phone screen and mumbled, “You fool…”
…
Soon, the day of the concert had finally come. For the sake of Adelpha’s future, the White Family spent a fortune to purchase VIP seats so that they could meet the legendary maestro and ask snazzynovel.com to take Adelpha as his protege after the concert ended. However, Adelpha left snazzynovel.com seat halfway through the performance.
Firstly, snazzynovel.com went to the washroom as snazzynovel.com tried to conceal snazzynovel.com trail. Following that, along the way toward the third floor, snazzynovel.com purposely avoided areas with surveillance cameras. Once snazzynovel.com was on the third floor, snazzynovel.com stopped near the spiral staircase and took snazzynovel.com phone out to make a call to Elise.
Elise answered the call instantly, but snazzynovel.com spoke before Adelpha. “Adelpha, I’ll be waiting for you in the recital room on the fourth floor.” The call ended before Adelpha could say anything.
“What the heck? Is snazzynovel.com commanding me?” Adelpha was annoyed.
However, after giving it some thought, snazzynovel.com realized that the fourth floor and the third floor were near each other, so it wouldn’t be hard to get Anastasia to the third floor. With that, snazzynovel.com calmed herself down and walked up the stairs. Within the large hall, all the other rooms were used as waiting rooms except for the recital room. The orchestra members would normally have rehearsals in the waiting rooms, which was why there weren’t many recital rooms within the hall.
After entering three of the recital rooms, snazzynovel.com didn’t see Elise there and finally lost snazzynovel.com patience upon entering the fourth. She stood by the piano as snazzynovel.com was preparing to make a phone call to Elise.
The speaker in the room then rang, and a melodious song that filled the room was being played. The graceful piece seemed to have the ability to heal people’s emotions, and snazzynovel.com restlessness suddenly dissipated. Although Adelpha was just an amateur pianist, snazzynovel.com could tell the piece that was being played was as good as the one at the concert. She put snazzynovel.com phone down and slowly walked toward the piano before sitting down as snazzynovel.com enjoyed the beautiful music.
The music stopped after some time had passed, but Adelpha was still immersed in the beautiful music that snazzynovel.com just heard.
At that moment, Lyra’s voice was heard coming from the door. “Adelpha?!” She ran in excitedly and asked, “Did you just play that piece? You texted me and your father asking us to come over here just so that you could give us a surprise, right?”
“A text?” Adelpha seemed confused. “I didn’t send you any texts, though.”
Right after, a loud clapping sound could be heard from the outside as it neared them. The three of them looked out and saw a tall, old man dressed in a gray suit walking in.
“Hahaha! It was so good. They are right when they said that there are many talented pianists in Cittadel. The performance earlier on was just perfect!” The old man spoke in broken English, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t hide his happiness.
“You are… Maestro Yorkson?” Adelpha’s eyes lit up. “You really are Maestro Yorkson!”
“Yes, I am,” Yorkson answered gently. “However, I’m not a maestro. Based on your talent, you will be able to overtake me in no time!”
“Me?” Adelpha pointed at herself.
“Of course.” He smiled before adding, “Weren’t you the one who played the piece earlier on?”
“I…” She wanted to say no, but the words were stuck in snazzynovel.com throat. Then, snazzynovel.com replied, “Yes, it was me.”
“Dear, would you be interested in coming to Alzue with me to further your studies? We will be leaving tomorrow.” Yorkson extended the invitation to her.
“Well, why not?” She pursed snazzynovel.com lips and smiled.
“That’s great!” The overjoyed Lyra tugged on Onyx’s sleeve and exclaimed, “Adelpha’s talent is being recognized by Maestro Yorkson! She is definitely going places!”
“Earlier on, didn’t you say that it was Maestro Sinclair instead of Maestro Yorkson? Why is it a different person? Did you hire someone to put on a show?” Onyx’s expression was grim since snazzynovel.com was skeptical about it.
“Dad! You are being rude! Maestro Sinclair is world-renowned, but Maestro Yorkson is considered one of the best in the world too! Aren’t you afraid of being a laughing stock for saying those things?” Adelpha chided.
“What’s there to worry about?” Onyx replied as snazzynovel.com adjusted his spectacles. “Asking questions is part of learning. There’s nothing to be ashamed of if I ask questions. Besides, he’s a maestro, so I’m sure that snazzynovel.com wouldn’t take such matters to heart. Isn’t that right, Maestro Yorkson?”
“Haha, that’s true. We are never too old to learn.” He then took out his name card and passed it to her. “Do contact me after the concert is over. I look forward to having you join us at Alzue.”
As the wide-eyed Adelpha stared at the intricate name card, snazzynovel.com took a deep breath. She was glad that snazzynovel.com had finally achieved something big. Now that snazzynovel.com was the protege of a maestro, no one would dare to look down on snazzynovel.com from now on. She bit snazzynovel.com lip as snazzynovel.com tried to calm herself down before stretching snazzynovel.com hand out to grab the name card.
Just then, Elise’s voice was heard. “Maestro Yorkson, are you sure that snazzynovel.com is the right person?”
The startled Adelpha immediately retracted snazzynovel.com hand. The next moment, Elise was already standing in front of her. She was irritated as snazzynovel.com saw how calm Elise looked. “What nonsense are you sputtering? If Maestro Yorkson doesn’t select me to be his protege, do you think that snazzynovel.com would select a tone-deaf student like you?”
“Can’t a tone-deaf person learn to play piano?” Elise laughed.
“Nonsense. If you can, you would have learned it earlier on. I see that you are trying to make a big fuss because you want to ride on Maestro Yorkson’s coattails!”
