Chapter 37 Piano Grade Ten
A sinister smile formed at the corners of Luann's mouth, while a charming expression bloomed on her face, but her dark eyes remained cold as ice.
The fusion of innocence and allure radiate a deadly beauty.
Wilber couldn't help but be captivated.
Luann's tone was lazy.
"The collaboration with Mr. Jeff, you set it up for me, right? And you were the one who asked me to negotiate, right?"
"We are all adults here, so take some responsibility for your decisions, okay?"
"Every investment carries risks. If you can't handle it, why start a company? You should close it down sooner rather than later."
Juliet clenched her teeth and unwillingly shook Wilber's arm.
"Wilber..."
Luann's words made Wilber's face alternate between red and pale, but he could only swallow his anger and the blood mixed with broken teeth.
Back in the office, Juliet was filled with anger.
"Wilber, my sister went too far. Did you hear what she said!"
Wilber, still furious, slammed his hand on the table, producing a loud sound that startled Juliet.
"And you dare to defend her?"
"If it weren't for you taking matters into your own hands and bringing in Mr. Jeff!"
"How could my company suffer such huge losses?"
Tears welled up in Juliet's eyes as she looked helpless.
"I-I'm sorry..."
"I just noticed that you've been resentful of Mr. Jeff's collaboration, so I wanted to help you..."
Wilber frustrated massaged his temples, feeling completely drained.
On the chair.
"Enough, don't say anything more, you go back first," said Juliet while crying and running out.
Why... why did you scold her because of Luann!
After work, as soon as Luann left the company, she saw a very eye-catching and beautiful Bugatti Veyron parked at the entrance.
The person in the car waved at her.
"Would you like to have dinner together?"
Luann replied with a question, "Don't you have your big brother with you?"
Alvin chuckled awkwardly and opened the car door next to him.
Luann got in the car and fastened her seatbelt.
The two of them went to a restaurant, but Luann didn't show much interest in the food and barely touched anything.
Alvin blinked his eyes a few times, feeling a bit confused.
"Don't you like this restaurant?"
"Don't all girls like to eat this kind of food?"
Luann asked directly, "What is the reason behind bringing me here?"
Alvin scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Usually, when he was at school, all those girls would die to get close to him.
If someone had the chance to eat at the same table with him in the cafeteria, they would brag about it for days.
This was the first time he encountered such indifference from someone.
Ah!
"Ah, I heard that a piano master is performing on the Upper West Side these days, it's happening in the next two days."
"I got two tickets and wanted to know if you would like to go and see..."
If it were before, Alvin wouldn't have cared about such things, even if he heard about it, he wouldn't pay attention.
"No, I have something else to do that day," Luann declined without hesitation.
Alvin's face revealed a trace of hurt; after all, he had put a lot of effort into obtaining those tickets and had spent quite a bit of manpower and resources.
"Well... alright then..." Alvin hung his head in disappointment and didn't say another word.
Luann, on the other hand, felt quite relieved and took the initiative to pay the bill after finishing their meal.
When Alvin intended to pay, he was stunned. "Why are you paying? I invited you out for dinner, and you're a lady, why would you be polite to me, a grown man?"
"I am your sister-in-law and taking care of you is only right," Luann replied.
These words left Alvin standing in place for a long time, feeling wronged, he pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Meanwhile, Luann had already left.
Passing by a pastry shop that sold Brianna's favorite limited edition daily desserts, she bought some and brought them to the Weaver Family.
As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of a piano coming from upstairs.
"Mom."
Luann placed the pastries on the table.
Brianna was delighted to see her and had the servant bring tea and fruits.
"No need to fuss, I just came to get something and leave."
A hinge of disappointment flashed in Brianna's eyes as she nodded lightly.
"Alright, your dad hasn't come back yet."
"Okay."
Luann walked upstairs and went straight to her room, taking a few folders with her.
While passing by Juliet's room, she heard her sweet and clingy voice.
The sound of Juliet's sweet laughter filled the air.
"Thank you for the donation, Tiger. Juliet is grateful to Tiger!" she exclaimed.
"Just idle today, planning to play a few pieces on the piano to relax," she mentioned.
"As for the new play, I am considering it!" she added.
"In terms of variety shows, I haven't made any plans yet," she revealed.
On Juliet's piano, a smartphone was mounted, reflecting her delicate features. Below, numerous people were flooding the chat.
Luann was already accustomed to such a situation.
Almost every week, Juliet would host a live stream, and Tiger, her loyal fan, never missed it.
"To show my gratitude to Tiger for the donation, how about I play a song for Tiger? Is there a song you want to hear?" she asked.
"Or... should I choose one myself?" she suggested.
Tiger: [Up to you.]
Juliet intentionally pointed at her rosy lips, making an innocent expression. She casually flipped through several pages of sheet music, her eyes glancing upward with a faint smile.
"In that case, I'll decide for myself," she declared.
At this moment, the chat room was filled with praises for her.
【Juliet is so cute and adorable! Sending a kiss! 】
【Tiger is cool! Why not play Good Luck as the first song? Hahaha!】
【One live stream per week is simply not enough to watch! Can you come more often? 】
Juliet's gaze skimmed over the sheet music twice before resting her hands upon the piano keys.
Soon, an elegant piano melody filled the air.
As the song concluded, the chat room erupted with fervent enthusiasm.
"Thank you all for your support!" Juliet proudly expressed.
Just then, Luann spoke up, her crisp voice delivering a blow like a slap to Juliet's face.
"How can you make mistakes with five notes on such a simple beginner's piece? How did you pass your piano grade ten?" she questioned, her presence leaning against the doorway.
Why did this person show up now?
If she didn't have to consider the ongoing livestream, Juliet would have undoubtedly given her an unfriendly look.
Juliet let out a soft sigh, her voice becoming gentle, as if she were a lovely lamb, her words spoken softly, giving the impression that she could easily be taken advantage of.
"I have played this piece many times. How could I possibly make a mistake? Perhaps sister misheard it," she responded.
"Besides, my sister has never learned piano before..." she added.
As Juliet spoke, she showed no signs of guilt.
Her livestream had a modest popularity, with just over ten thousand viewers.
Besides Tiger, who was more generous, the other viewers were only contributing small amounts, obviously not well-off people. How could they appreciate the beauty of piano music?
Therefore, Juliet firmly believed that even if she made a mistake, no one would be able to tell.
As expected, the chat room began flooding with comments.
【What are these non-musicians blabbering about? The new generation of know-it-all amateurs? 】
【The most annoying thing is when ignorant people give their opinions!】
【Who is this person? Why does Juliet call her sister? 】
Though Juliet didn't turn around, she could imagine the "family members" defending her.
