Chapter 110 Piano Performance David had been scared off by the terrifying atmosphere emanating from Henry, retreating about five meters. He couldnât bear to witness the scene below.
âWhy did she come? Does she have no shame, flaunting herself in a place like this?â Yuliannaâs face turned dark the moment she spotted Evelyn.
Mia frowned, âYulianna, donât say that. She might have friends here.â
âFriends? You mean that old man she slept with? If I had a daughter like her, I would strangler her myself. Shameless.â
âWhat are you talking about?â Jasperâs sister, Layla Reid, joined the conversation.
She really liked her brotherâs new girlfriend Mia. In her eyes, Mia was clean, pure, and seemingly unlike the money-grabbing women her brother used to date. Most importantly, this girlfriend played the piano exceptionally well, something Layla admired wholeheartedly.
âNothing,â Mia pulled Layla over, âJust be prepared to play a good piece later.â
âBut I canât play as well as you.â
Yulianna looked at Mia helplessly, âYou always keep things to yourself. That Evelyn deliberately targets you, and you still care about sisterhood.â
Layla, upon hearing this, glanced at Evelyn and felt a trace of disgust, âIs she the one youâre talking about?â
Layla had heard about Miaâs extremely malicious sister who constantly targeted Mia and even went so far as to spread negative information about her, tarnishing her reputation.
*This kind of person dares to come to this level of party? Sheâs overestimating herself,â Layla pondered, âCould she also be here for Master Zayn?â
Mia turned pale at her words, âIt shouldnât be, right?â She knew Evelynâs plano skills too well, and allowing her to perform in such a situation would undoubtedly add a touch of brilliance to herâ¦
âHahaha⦠letting her touch the piano would be a huge joke.â In the next moment, Yulianna 14 29 Fri, 23 Feb DG.
Chapter 110 Piano Performance burst into laughter, âMiss Reid, donât joke around. Evelyn, that foolish girl, was a poor achiever in high school, and she only attended university for a few days. What credentials does she have to show off in front of Master Zayn?â
The mocking words came to an abrupt halt, and Yulianna silently exchanged glances with Layla, as if they both understood what the other was up to.
Seeing this, Mia expressed some concern, âYulianna, donât make things difficult for Evelyn.â
Waving her hand dismissively, Yulianna replied, âGot it.â
Layla nodded silently, âAlthough Master Zayn wasnât a businessman, his connections were extensive.
Making friends with Master Zayn was equivalent to securing half of the business circleâs cooperation.
The purpose of this party was to find a suitable apprentice for Master Zayn. If Mia could earn his admiration and discipline that girl named Evelyn, not only would her brother be grateful, even Mia would owe her a favor.â
Evelyn spotted Mia, Yulianna, and Layla from a distance and nodded with interest Her rebirth had brought certain people into her life ahead of schedule.
Jasper and Layla, itâs been a while.
These two were obsessed with piano compositions. In her previous life, back then, William was thriving with her help, and Mia considered Jasper merely as a backup. This backup, who obediently followed Miaâs commands, had also laid hands on her and Henry several times.
In this life, William, the man who relies on women, should have been kicked out by Mia by now, right?
This is good. Evelyn wants to peel away Miaâs disguise layer by layer, like peeling an onion. She wants Jasper to see the true face of his goddess. She wonders if heâll still accept Mia after that. Just thinking about it makes her happy.
Half an hour after the party began, Master Zayn arrived, flanked by his assistants.
Spotting Mia from a distance, his eyes lit up. He greeted the event organizers, âLetâs sk ip some useless formalities and get started.â
He felt like his talented apprentice was already beckoning him.
Yulianna noticed Master Zaynâs movements and nervously grasped Miaâs hand, âMia, why do I 1429 Fri, 23 Feb DC.
Chapter 110 Piano Performance feel like Master Zayn has been looking at you? Has he heard you play the piano?â
Layla also noticed and eagerly awaited Miaâs answer.
Mia blinked hesitantly and whispered, âActually, I met Master Zayn once this morning at the music store. He asked me to play a piece, but Jasper was waiting for me, and I really didnât have the time, so I gave up.
Yulianna looked disappointed. âMia, if you had played, you might have become Master Zaynâs top apprentice, leaving no chance for others to shine.â
âItâs okay. With Miaâs skill, even playing now, she can still easily win,â Layla teased. âIf my brother knew you gave up such an important opportunity for him, he would be ecstatic.â
Mia replied, âLayla, itâs just a small thing, please donât let him know.â
The organizers naturally followed Master Zaynâs words and immediately announced the start of the piano performances.
The first to take the stage was the hostâs daughter. However, her skill only reached a level-five piano proficiency, and Master Zayn sat on the side, unmoved.
After a few more performances, it was finally Laylaâs turn.
Confidently stepping onto the stage, she played a cheerful melody, âAutumn Leaves.â Although it could stir emotions, her technique was lacking.
Master Zayn merely nodded, not offering any specific comments.
Layla felt somewhat disappointed, biting her lip. âMia, it seems my skill isnât there yet. I still need to continue practicing. Iâm counting on you for this.â
âDonât worry,â Mia nodded confidently, patting the latest broadcasting device in her hand. Luckily, she had recorded many tunes Evelyn practiced, and now she could easily play any of them to keep up appearances.
After many times of faking it, Mia was very experienced. Her performance seemed very natural and her hand movements were perfectly synchronized with the recorded music. If Evelyn hadnât realized that the plece was her own creation, she might have fallen for it as well.
From the moment Mia took the stage, Master Zaynâs eyes gleamed. He even sat up straight in his chair, resembling an elementary school student who had just been corrected in his posture, not daring to move.

Chapter 110 Piano Performance BK31%
Mia played âCountry Tune,â a lively piece that transported everyone to a countryside path on a sunny afternoon. Listening to the melody, people felt surrounded by sunshine, gentle breeze, and the fragrance of flowers.
As the piece concluded, Jasper and Layla were left completely stunned. Even Master Zayn, though delighted, seemed slightly disappointed. He could confirm that the performer was the same person from the music store earlier in the day. Todayâs performance, however, is slightly more juvenile, more like an earlier work. Nonetheless, it still suited his taste.
Glancing at the event organizers, Master Zayn understood that Mia was the final performer.
Just as Master Zayn was about to stand up, someone shouted, âMaster Zayn, one more person hasnât played yet.â
