Chapter 1174
His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius

Her tone was composed, and it was impossible to tell how she was really feeling.
Darren didnât push further.
To ease the heavy atmosphere, Vincent changed the subject, saying, âBy the way, did you hear? Moon is hosting a piano recital in Owathe.â
âMoon? The famous pianist?â Johnson echoed.
Bethanyâs eyes instantly brightened. âOh, I know her! Sheâs practically an icon in the world of classical music. She won the gold medal at the International Piano Competition at just twenty-three! But thatâs not even the most astonishing part. What truly set her apart was her swift rise to fame. Five years ago, no one had ever heard of her. Then, out of nowhere, she began dominating the competition scene, outshining prodigies and multiple-time champions, securing one victory after another. She skyrocketed to fame.â
Bethanyâs voice carried a note of deep admiration.
Johnson said, âI heard that Moon is shrouded in mystery. She always wears a mask during performances, and even in competitions. To this day, nobody knows what she actually looks like. The only rumor that circulated is that she is a bit chubby.â
Bethany waved dismissively. âThatâs outdated gossip! Sheâs completely transformed now. She has lost a lot of weight. She even shared before-and-after photos on Twitter, and people were stunned by her transformation!â
As the conversation carried on, Belinda casually touched her nose, a peculiar glint flickering in her eyes.
As they chatted, Bethany glanced at Vincent and inquired, âVincent, are you also fond of Moonâs music? Do you enjoy her work?â
Vincent tilted his head slightly and replied, âYeah. In the past, Ryan practically dragged me along to a couple of her piano performances. I found them quite impressive. I once stumbled across an online comment claiming that hearing Moon play live is something one can never forget. At first, I thought it was just an exaggeration, but after experiencing it myself, I realized they were spot on.â

Vincent let out a small huff. âOh, heâs obsessed. Any time Moonâs got a recital or a competition, no matter where itâs held, Ryanâs there without fail.â
He paused for a beat before continuing, âIn fact, heâs the one who told me about her upcoming performance in Owathe. Iâve got a friend on the event crew, so I scored us some prime front-row seats. We can all go together.â
Bethanyâs face lit up with excitement. âSeriously? Thatâs amazing! Iâve heard Moonâs recital tickets are nearly impossible to getâgone the second they go on sale.â
Johnson couldnât hold back a chuckle. âA piano recital selling out like some popular concert⦠Thatâs wild, isnât it?â
Bethany bobbed her head enthusiastically. âTotally! It just shows how extraordinary Moon is.â
While the group buzzed with excitement, Belinda stayed quiet, her eyes cast downward.
