Chapter 329
Edwin stood with his hands behind his back, dressed sharply in a black suit, his face cold and serious, keeping others at a distance.
âEdwin.â Christine bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didnât dare to speak out. She just mouthed the name silently. It turned out that when Christine came downstairs, Edwin followed suit.
Relentless in her standoff with Sharon, Christine only wanted to prove she was superior, not to suffer such a complete defeat. She felt utterly humiliated
Seeing Christineâs deeply distressed expression, Sharon finally began to understand. So now it erases my concern. Christine, being from a wealthy family, wouldnât just let gossip swirl around her for no reason. Since sheâs aiming to catch Edwinâs attention, I might as well help!
Sharon pretended not to notice Edwin and instead held Christineâs hand. âMiss Galdon, youâre right. Those singers and actors are just
just for the masses, not your league. Someone as exceptional as you donât waste time on such showsâ
Christine was taken aback, Hearing Sharon call her exceptional, her first thought was that Sharon was mocking her. The more Christine thought about it, the more she wanted to prove her worth. âI may not be exceptional in my family, but I graduated from an Ivy League school abroad. Every Ivy League institution is prestigious globally, none of them ever fall out of the top five in the world!â
Sharon was silent, wondering. Does this kind of trash come from an Ivy League? All talk and no substance? Is the Ivy League she mentioned even real? But Sharon hadnât forgotten her goal, intentionally exaggerating. âIvy League, thatâs impressive. I canât compare to you. The school I attended wouldnât even measure up to a grape ivy here, let alone Ivy League.â
Hearing this, Christine burst into laughter. This girl is indeed clueless, mistaking Ivy League for something else entirely and inventing some sort of universitiesâ:
Hearing Sharonâs joke, people around also laughed along with it. Some found her remarks quite funny, while others, like Christine, thought Sharon sounded silly. Sharon could tell, but she didnât care. Whether others thought her stupid or not, that was their problem. Pretending not to understand the laughter, she continued. âEven though I barely graduated from a mediocre university, I still managed to scrape byâ
At that time. Sharon was too busy with live broadcasts and Bisney Entertainment to attend classes regularly. She only cracked open textbooks two weeks before exams, always just above the excellence line.
Hearing that Sharon barely graduated from a mediocre university, Christineâs confidence grew. She lifted her chin proudly and declared, âDespite struggling academically, Iâve mastered many talents. Iâm a great pianist, with a professional violin degree, and a member of the Equestrian Association, Business Societyâ¦â She emphasized âprofessional, making sure Sharon understood the difference between professional and amateur. Then she listed off a slew of accomplishments.
Sharon felt like plugging her ears. âShall we, Miss Gildon! Perform on stage. She gestured toward the piano.
This was Christineâs chance to impress Edwin, but she also had no desire to stay with Sharon any longer. Just shut the fuck up! she bellowed inwardly and tilted her chin arrogantly. âSince you want to hear it, Iâll reluctantly oblige. As if she was doing Sharon a favor. With that said, Christine hurried towards the stage, her steps quick.
Finally free from this sticky situation, Sharon felt a sense of relief wash over her. Suddenly, her stomach growled loudly. She remembered she had been busy and hadnât eaten lunch, now starving. She didnât bother watching Christineâs performance on stage. Instead, she walked briskly towards the food area. Food was abundant here, all beautifully presented. Though Sharon wasnât one to fuss over her food despite her wealth, the sight of these artistically arranged dishes impressed her.
Sharon walked over. Immediately, a waiter lifted the cover off a dish for her. Sharon selected several delicious items and sat down to enjoy them.
In the background, Christineâs piano piece was still ongoing. Sharon couldnât help tapping her fingers to the rhythm, admitting Christine played the piano quite well, which only served to enhance her appetite. Having eaten her fill, Christineâs piano piece was spill not over. Sharon couldnât help but glance in that direction. There were quite a few people gathered around.
âSuch a pity.â Sharon sighed softly. This girl is unaware that sometimes less is more. As beautiful as the music is, hearing it repeatedly makes it background noise, losing its novelty, she thought to herself, turning away from the commotion, and slowly strolling around the food area.
As Sharon strolled, she noticed a table set with several glasses, which held beverages of different colors, arranged in a graduated manner from least to most. She suddenly remembered seeing someone on the internet create music by tapping on glasses. With this in mind, she asked a server for a fork and tentatively tapped on one of the glasses. Sure enough, the sound was good.
Sharon tried a few more times, discovering the glasses produced very good tones. A melody began to form in her mind. She squinted slightly, humming a song softly while tapping along with the melody.
On the stage. As Sharon suspected, after listening to three or four songs in a row, the crowd started to tire of it and gradually dispersed to do other things.

A few people headed towards the food area. Upon hearing the faint singing accompanied by the sound of utensils, several people stopped in their tracks. Immediately afterward, they saw several waiters gathered, all looking at something, which made those people curious about it, and rushed over to see what was going on.
âWow, that sounds amazing. The guests quickly recognized Sharonâs fox mask and showed expressions of amazement. They didnât dare disturb Sharon, only looking on in awe,
with
Sharon was lost in the music, swaying with the rhythm of the tapping, as if she had become part of the music herself. It wasnât until the song ended that she opened her eyes, still entranced. Upon opening her eyes, she was startled. Because at some point, the area around her had filled up people. There were layers of people inside and outside. She wondered when all these people arrived.
After a while, the listeners suddenly woke up from their musical trance and began to applaud. They looked at each other in disbelief, unable to believe how deeply they had been immersed just moments ago. It seemed like their souls had been completely captivated by the music of the Foxy Damon, making the experience magical.
Sharon was dumbfounded, and she couldnât help but look up at the stage opposite. The people who had surrounded the stage earlier were nowhere to be seen. Christine had stopped playing the piano, standing beside it. Despite the distance, Sharon could feel Christineâs resentful gaze fixed firmly on her. Sharon winced as if sheâd been pricked, silently covering her face. She had only acted on a whim. There was no intention of showing
off.
âEven before getting married, she already trying to step on otherâs gloryâ A woman beside Karna whispered quietly, her eyes tinged with mockery. Karna remained silent, lips pursed in agreement, clearly endorsing her words.
Meanwhile, Panny was positively gleeful She knew if Karma and Matilda were at odds, she stood to beneft, so she was keen to see them both embroiled in a bitter feud over this
A little further away, Rayâs mother, Matilda looked on grimly with her husband, not approaching. Clearly, she had mixed feelings about Sharonâs actions. âIt means we just won, but it also means we caused trouble in public. Not a good sign, she pondered.
