Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Chapter 45 Embarrassed “Hello everyone, I’m Cherry of Miller Group! Today is Buck’s 50th birthday. I wish Buck always young and happy. I’m not talented, so I will not perform today.”

At the same time, Jane frowned, aware that she was going to do something, and hurriedly indicated to her to let her stop.

Cherry saw her and deliberately looked away, clutching the microphone. She thought, “I will never let Cynthia show off, and I must let Cynthia make a fool of herself in front of everyone.”

She said, “As is known to all, Alston has always been the golden boy. Since I was a child, I always think only the most excellent woman can marry him. My sister Cynthia married him, and I always felt proud of her.”

She was raving about Cynthia.

All the people present looked over. Cynthia frowned and held Alston’s hand tightly. “I’m in trouble!”

Humans were strange animals. They couldn’t criticize themselves or praise others. If their mother had been praising other children in their since childhood, they would hate that child after a long time.

This was still true for children, let alone adults with better self–awareness.

Cynthia was a new face in that circle. She snatched Alston from those women. Many young ladies present were more or less jealous of her.

After being praised by Cherry, Cynthia obviously felt that many people looked at her with malice and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Cynthia felt more uneasy.

Cherry on the stage saw that and sneered. “Cynthia, I remember that you play the violin very well. Why don’t you perform a song for Buck on the stage as a birthday present? I think Buck will be very happy.”

In order to prevent her from refusing, Cherry deliberately used Buck as an excuse. If Cynthia dared to refuse, she would offend Buck.

“Cherry is deliberately embarrassing you. Isn’t she doing that on purpose!” Lucien exclaim, worried about Cynthia.

Cynthia finally understood and thought, “Just as I expected, Cherry tried her best to let me make a fool of myself.”

She took a deep breath and was just ready to go. Alston’s hand suddenly tightened.

Cynthia looked up in surprise and saw Alston’s worried look. He looked into her eyes and said, “I’ll help you refuse if you don’t want to go.”

Alston investigated her before and knew that Cynthia couldn’t play the violin at all. Although he had no way to find out what happened before her twelve, after she went to the Miller family, Jane never cared for her.

How could she learn the violin?

Meanwhile, Beck and Jane were concerned for Cherry, not Cynthia!

They knew Cynthia better than anyone else. Although both of them were happy to see her and Alston make a fool of themselves, it was not a suitable time.

Cherry publicly admitted that Cynthia was her sister. Cherry would be the most affected one, once Cynthia made a fool of herself.

At that time, everyone would think, “Her sister is so lame. How could she be any They were very worried.

better?”

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly dull. Cherry felt even more proud when she saw Cynthia’s look. “It seems that my sister is still too shy. Let’s give her some applause.”

As soon as she said that, Ivan and Clare took the lead in clapping their hands, and they said together, “Mrs. ‘

Smith must be the best.”

Applause rang out in the hall, which obviously made Cynthia in a pickle.

Hearing that, Alston was even more gloomy, and she wished to cut Cherry, Ivan, and Clare to pieces.

Cynthia also looked a little pale, trying to keep herself calm. She patted Alston’s arm and whispered, “Don’t worry. I can handle it. I won’t embarrass you.”

She directly went to the stage, and Alston didn’t have time to pull her back.

She was so lonely and stubborn, which made him feel distressed.

Cherry was ready to leave when she saw Cynthia on the stage. Walking by her, Cherry gave her a hateful look, “Cynthia, wait to be got bored by Alston!”

Cynthia walked past her directly, and her indifferent attitude made Cherry even angrier.

As soon as Cherry stepped off the stage, she was violently dragged by Jane. Her face was livid, and she said, “You are too impatient. What good is it for you even if you can embarrass Cynthia? You can’t do that at this time.”

Cherry looked at Cynthia with burning eyes and turned a deaf ear to Jane’s words. “I won’t let Cynthia feel any better even if I need to make myself embarrassed. I can’t stand Cynthia’s better life than mine. However, It’s absolutely impossible for me to look up to her.”

Buck asked someone to present the violin, and Cynthia took it. Her delicate fingers gently stroked the piano, as if she had seen an old friend whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.

This violin was made of excellent material. It was very beautiful. The strings were slightly plucked, and the timbre was excellent.

Cynthia trembled slightly.

When Cynthia fiddled with the violin on the stage, Ivan sniffed coldly. He felt that she was putting on airs in an attempt to delay time.

He assumed that Cynthia would definitely make a fool of herself. He turned to talk to Clare and pointed at her with a smile.

Cynthia took a deep breath, put the violin on her shoulder, closed her eyes slightly, and devoted herself wholeheartedly.

People who knew about the violin at the scene stopped talking. They could tell Cynthia was professional. They thought, “I’m afraid Mrs. Smith is actually very good at playing the violin.”

After people became quiet, Cynthia played slightly, and a string of smooth violin sounds appeared.

Cherry’s smile froze on her face, her eyes full of disbelief.

She thought, “How is it possible? How can Cynthia play the violin? She couldn’t learn that temporarily. She can really play the violin.”

What she played was Lark Quarter which was very unique, with a cheerful and strong rhythm. Buck nodded repeatedly.

The bow danced on the strings, and the notes seemed to have life.

Alston looked at her. Everyone present seemed to have disappeared. He could only see the girl in a beautiful evening dress on the stage, and his heart was beating violently with her movements.

He held his chest and his heart beating violently. Alston felt that he was destined to fall for Cynthia in this life. He could only indulge in it and never escape.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds at the end of the song, and the applause rang like a thundering. The applause was all sincere approval.

Cynthia opened her eyes and her face was full of excitement.

Her performance was successful!

Cherry and Ivan were very angry.

They really didn’t expect that Cynthia would play the violin. Cherry’s trick created Cynthia a chance to show off again.

Cynthia reluctantly returned the violin, ready to leave, and found that Alston had stood at the stairs and held out his hand to her, “Come here.”

She smiled, and he held her hand tightly as soon as she touched his hand.

“I didn’t embarrass you!” Cynthia blinked and relaxed a lot.

She hadn’t played the violin for many years, and she was always worried that she would make a mistake before performing. But that familiar feeling came back as soon as she got the violin, and the music was in her mind.

Fortunately, the performance was successful.

“You have always been excellent!” Alston was silent for a few seconds and whispered.

Unfortunately, Cynthia was immersed in joy and didn’t hear that.

Buck came over and praised Cynthia, then said to Alston, “Come with me to the second floor. I have something for you.”

He paused and added, “It’s your father’s legacy.”

Alston’s face suddenly became serious, and he glanced at Cynthia hesitantly.

Cynthia understood, she let go of his hand and smiled slightly, “Off you go. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Don’t leave until I come back for you,” Alston told her and followed Buck to the second floor.

People had less attention to her after the two left, and she suddenly relaxed.

She had been busy since that morning. She only had a bowl of gruel for breakfast and didn’t have time for lunch. Now she suddenly relaxed and felt very hungry.

The banquet was a buffet. Cynthia wanted to find something to eat. She picked a small cake and sat in a corner.

Suddenly, there were three figures standing before her as she was ready to eat.

It was the Miller family.

She put down the small fork in her hand.

“What do you want?”

She thought, “They were obviously furious at me!”
