Chapter 294
“Yeah, we are not done enjoying it, yet the song ended. Another song!”
Some even commented, “It was like a song from the heavens.”
Stella endured it for a long time to avoid saying something to critique it. She was slightly thirsty and turned around to see a water
bottle in Keegan’s hand. She then went over to him.
The moment she reached him, she asked, “Mr. Kane, are you going to drink that bottle of water?”
Keegan glanced at her and said, “No, I’m not drinking it.”
“Then, I’ll be taking this away,” Stella said as she took the bottle in his hand. She twisted it open and drank it all by herself.
Keegan was at a loss for words.

Bella enjoyed the praise from every direction. After a while, she smiled lightly and said, Today is a gathering for the businesses
of Rivera. The main characters of tonight are all the misters and madams present. I can’t be the only one who hogs all the glory.
How about this? Let’s get a madam to be a representative. We can perform a four-handed duet. Is there madam who would like
to perform with me?”
any
The madams looked at each other and did not say anything. It was not that everyone did not know how to play the piano. Many
of the madams were born from noble families, and they had learned a little about how to play the piano. However, most of them
had not touched a piano for years.
Moreover, they had to sit with Bella to play the piano, not to mention that Bella was younger and quite beautiful. As much as the
madams had their upkeep looks, there was a difference in age in the end. No one wanted to be compared to a celebrity on such
an occasion. Hence, they all refused.
“Mrs. Kane, why don’t you go?” Mrs. Chapman opened her mouth again.
Her blade was pointed directly back at Stella again. “You are the youngest among us. You would be the most suitable to be the
representative.”
Thankfully, Stella had swallowed her mouthful of water. Otherwise, she would have spit in Mrs. Chapman’s face. Once Mrs.
Chapman had opened her mouth, the other madams also agreed. “Yes, Mrs. Kane is young. Younger people have better
memories and faster reflexes.”
“Mrs. Kane, you should be the representative and show everyone what we are made of,” another chimed in.
“Mrs. Kane, you look like the type who would be proficient in anything, whether it is in education or music.”
The madams did not want to be compared to Bella. Since someone recommended a candidate, everyone would push her to the
edge. As for whether Stella could play the piano or would she embarrass herself was none of their business.
The mood was brought out, and Bella naturally said, “Mrs. Kane, may I have the honor of inviting you to perform with me?”
Everyone looked at Stella and waited for her answer. Stella gripped the bottle, and her
expression was ugly.
She said, “Ms. Young could play quite well by herself. Having two people would require coordination. In reality, it could easily
cause errors. I think we should forget about it.”
Bella heard what Stella said and knew that Stella did not know how to play the piano. Hence, Stella had found an excuse to
refuse.
Bella then graciously said, “That’s okay. This isn’t a competition. It’s mainly to set the mood. If Mrs. Kane feels that it would be
hard to coordinate, you can choose a song that you are good at. As long as I can support you, you can play however you like.”
