Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Tonight’s celebratory party was organized by Alice alone. In the dark, there were two reporters with cameras As long as Hailey agreed to go on stage, the embarrassing scene of the Dalton family’s second daughter playing the plano would be on the trending searches tomorrow.

Hailey looked up and clearly saw the provocation in Alice’s eyes.

She smiled gently and agreed. “Sure”

Alice was stunned. She did not expect Hailey to agree so easily. She had originally thought of other excuses.

‘Since she agreed, it’s not my fault, Alice thought.

Hailey was wearing a light green dress tonight. After all, she was here to meet Owen’s friend, so she dressed up a little. The dress draped her in effortless grace, that quiet elegance walking the line between approachable and untouchable.

Alice chose a bold makeup look to match her outfit today. However, with her naturally innocent facial features and usual light makeup style, the sudden dramatic change appeared somewhat incongruous.

The two had completely different styles.

Hailey walked to the piano and sat down with a natural expression.

Alice frowned slightly. ‘Does she really know how to play the piano? Even if she knows how to play the piano, she is not as good as me.

Alice relaxed again and walked to Hailey with the violin.

This celebratory feast was attended by Annie’s friends. There were about a dozen of them, but most of them knew music.

A busybody approached Owen and asked, “Mr. Calhoun, does your girlfriend know how to play the piano? Don’t let her embarrass you later.”

Owen looked coldly at that person. “You’ll know later. As for you, other than knowing how to play the piano, I’m afraid you still need to train your character.”

That person’s expression was a little gloomy after being rebuked. He sat back down resentfully.

When Annie saw this, she couldn’t help but smile.

She never expected that a usually cold and noble man would one day be angered by someone else’s joke.

Needless to say, the quality of Annie’s piano was excellent.

Hailey pressed a few keys and was satisfied with the timbre.

She tilted her head and looked at Alice. She smiled and asked, “Miss Gibbs, what do you want to play?”

Alice said, “Why don’t we play the Stryland Rhapsody?”

The Stryland Rhapsody was a song composed by a musician in the nineteenth century. It was high–pitched and passionate. It was about the tragic scenes and painful lives of people in Stryland after the war.

It was very difficult to play the piece live, and there was no music score. Unless one was a music expert, it was impossible to play the piece successfully.

1/3 Chapter 131 As for Hailey... Alice was filled with disdain. Even if she knows how to play the piano, she is probably just an amateur Howr could she know this song? She probably only knows how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star “Isn’t it too difficult?” Alice deliberately said, “Otherwise, I can play what you know”

“No need. This one it is Hailey took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and played the song in her mind. Then, she opened her eyes and placed her hand on the piano keys ‘Let’s begin.”

Alice also made preparations.

Hailey’s slender fingers landed gently, and beautiful music flowed out from her fingertips.

Alice was shocked.

She never expected Hailey to really know how to play.

She was no longer distracted and began to focus on playing the violin.

The sound of the violin and the piano were very harmonious at first.

But soon, the song reached the middle. Hailey stopped playing. After two seconds of silence, her finger speed increased, and the tune became impassioned. This was the climax of the song. The faster she played, the better.

Alice’s violin could still keep up at first, but slowly, it could not keep up with the speed of Hailey’s piano.

She put down the violin unwillingly and could only watch as Hailey played alone.

Extremely passionate piano music was played in the living room. Everyone was pulled into the music by Hailey. They seemed to see the tragic scene of society in that era of war.

They heard the desperate cries of countless old people, women, and children.

Finally, the song came to an end and the music stopped abruptly. No one could react for a long time.

A crisp applause sounded. Everyone came back to their senses and joined in the applause.

Annie even stood up and walked to Hailey’s side, praising her piano skills generously.

Hailey stood up and bowed to everyone. Then, she looked at Alice with a smile. “Miss Gibbs, are you satisfied with my piano skills?”

Only then did everyone turn their gazes to Alice.

There were whispers below.

“Alice didn’t seem to be able to keep up with this little girl’s pace at all.”

“So Alice’s technology is only so–so. I thought she was so powerful.”

“That’s right. She easily beat Alice up.”

Alice’s face was ashen and gloomy. She gritted her teeth and said, “Miss Dalton, your piano skills are superb. I’m no match.”

Hailey smiled. “Thank you.”

With that, Hailey walked toward Owen and sat down beside Owen.

Owen took her hand and pinched it. He whispered into her ear, “Have you vented your anger?”

2/3 Chapter 131 Hailey snorted softly.

Owen smiled and pulled her into his arms.

Halfway through the party, everyone went to the small garden to barbecue.

There was a pool in Annie’s back garden. Everyone knew about the party today. Most of them had brought swimsuits.

The water in the pool was warm, so it was not very cold.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I didn’t even bring a swimsuit,” Hailey complained as she looked at Owen.

As she did not bring her swimsuit, she could only be a barbeque worker.

Of course, she was not the one who roasted it. She was in charge of eating it.

Owen was in charge of the barbecue.

Owen handed her a grilled skewer of chicken wings. His tone was faintly threatening. “Do you think I’d let you wear a swimsuit in front of so many men?”

Hailey pursed her lips and took a bite of the chicken wing. “Isn’t that a party? It’s very normal.”

Owen said calmly, “In your dreams.”

Hailey turned her head away and ignored him, biting on the chicken wing.

Chicken wings that Owen made were really delicious.

Annie walked over from the pool and wrapped a towel around herself. She sat down next to Hailey. “Didn’t you bring a swimsuit?

I have a new one. Do you want it?“

Hailey’s eyes lit up when he heard that. Just as she was about to agree, Owen, who was behind them, said calmly, “She doesn’t need it.”

Annie exclaimed and looked at Owen teasingly. “Owen, you’re too strict. You don’t even let us admire your girlfriend’s figure.

She’s so slender. She must have a good figure.”

Owen said calmly, I’m sorry, but only I can enjoy my girlfriend’s figure.”

“You’re so possessive. You’d better watch out or Miss Dalton might leave you,” Annie said with a smile.
