Chapter 25
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Although they were from different circles,
the high society of Atlanta was small, so
everyone would more or less cross paths
with each other. Thus, Keith Ludwig and
Ian Carter knew each other.
When Ian saw Keith, he naturally saw Eric
Ferguson as well.
Ian tipped his glass as
a gesture. âWhat a coincidence, Mr.
Ludwig.â
Keith saw that Nicole and Yvette were
sitting with Ian, so he figured that they
were here together. Keith turned and
pulled Eric to sit at their table. âLetâs play
a game together. You wonât mind, right, Mr. Caner?â
Ian did not answer and turned to look at
Nicole. âMy queen, do you mind?â
Nicole stood up insouciantly. âHelp
yourselves, lâm going downstairs to
watch the band.â
Yvette immediately followed suit. âLetâs g
o! Itâs so suffocating sharing the same
space with such pests.â
Julie took three bottles of fine wine and
said, âlâm coming too!â
Eric watched as Nicole disappeared
down the stairs before he withdrew his
gaze and glanced at Ian. âMr. Carter,
whatâs your relationship with Nicole?â
lan tilted his head and chuckled. âA
friend.â
âHow can her kind be friends with you? Mr. Carter, donât be fooled by herâ¦â Before
Keith could finish his sentence, he was
interrupted by Eric. show, but they came to this bar?â
There were three people in this band, but only two showed up. However, these two were already
enough to incite the crowdâs excitement and passion as they controlled the energy of the venue. Yvette
was screaming and shouting at the bottom of the stage and did not notice that Julie had already
brought Nicole backstage.
âThere are three minutes until this song is over. Demon just had an appendectomy. so he couldnât
make it. Without the violin, the song will lose its soul. The last song needs a violin accompaniment to
the bassist. Thereâs no one else but you now. so go!â
Nicole was shocked. âMe?!â âYouâre the only one who has played with them before, so of course, itâs
you. Do you really want them to be a failure?
Theyâre here because of you. Plus, donât
you want to get back your old feeling?â
The music was deafening. Those familiar
memories made Nicole feel exhilarated.
She smiled and said, âOkay, Iâll go on.â
Everyone cheered loudly for the band.
Their bodies swayed to the rhythm, and everyone was exuberant. No one noticed that Nicole carried a
violin in her left hand while she held her flowing dress with her other hand as she stepped onto the
stage.
The lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the stage. Monster and Phantom, who
were part of the band, lit up when they saw Nicole. The bassist, Phantom, started the rhythm. The best
part about this piece lied in the bassist and violinist duet, which was an absolutely divine pairing.
If they were not equal, the song would lose its soul.
Phantom passionately took over the
melody. just enough to invigorate the
crowd.
In the next second, a delicate, mellow
sound of the violin seamlessly integrated
into the bass. When the drums stopped
abruptly, the violin suddenly sounded
bold, rich, and deep.
Everyone was
astonished to see the woman on stage
looking so cool and valiant. The violin in
her hands sounded so magical and in
tune, which matched her very distinctive
style.
Everyone was so immersed in the music
when the drums suddenly joined in again.
There was a tacit understanding between
the drummer and violinist as they
synchronized their rhythm. The stark
contrast between the intensity of the
drums and the softness of the violin
formed a beautiful medley.
After the short two-minute performance, the
crowdâs screams were even more
thunderous and deafening than before.
âAh!! My Goddess!â
âViolin goddess!â
On the second floor, the shock that
flashed through Eric Fergusonâs eyes was
undisguised.
