Chapter 552

Odell was slightly disheartened. Master Springsteen and his family were just beside him, and they all sharply noticed the slight

change of expression. Madam Springsteen asked, “Master Carter, is there anything that you are not happy with?” Odell

conserved his emotions and said, “No, everything is great.” He picked up the glass for a sip of alcohol.

Madam Springsteen shot a quick glance at Ramona who was sitting further away. Ramona smiled at her and signaled her not to

be worried because it was just Odell’s usual demeanor. Therefore, Madam Springsteen sighed a breath of relief.

Meanwhile, in the corridor that connected the hall and the bathroom, Sylvia came out after

relieving herself and saw the crowd surrounding Odell like fans cheering on their idol.

She stopped at once.

She did not expect Odell to attend this event, but considering the relationship between the Carters and the Springsteens, it was

not that surprising for him to come. She stood there and waited for more and more people to surround Odell before she snuck

back into the hall. She went back to Christopher’s group and showed her back to Odell.

Christopher knew about her complicated relationship with Odell. He shot a complex gaze at her and asked in a small voice,

“Sylvia, just follow me around. Don’t worry.” Sylvia smiled in appreciation. “Thank you, Mr. President.” The atmosphere was lively.

Some time into the event, Master Springsteen went to the center hall with the aid of the butler. The butler then said, “Everyone,

may | have your attention?” His voice silenced the entire hall, and everyone shifted their attention onto Master Springsteen.

Master Springsteen smiled and said in his gravelly voice, “First of all, thank all of you for coming. Let’s have a toast first.” He then

raised the glass in his hand and everyone followed. Sylvia did the same as well and had a sip.

After the toast, Master Springsteen gave a short speech about how he wished to settle down in Westchester with his family once

and for all, and he asked for everyone’s warm welcome. Lastly, he said, “To express my gratitude, my granddaughter, Lily, will

present everyone with a brief performance.” His voice incited exciting discussions among the guests. “Lily Springsteen? | heard

she’s a famed pianist known for her talent. She even got global recognition!”

“| heard that every single one of her performances was sold out. It’s even harder to get a ticket than to fly to the moon.” “I guess

we are in for a show tonight.”

The crowd's anticipation was heightened. Then, the light from the crystal chandelier dimmed. A few seconds later, the spotlight

shone on the spiral stairs, highlighting the young woman in the sky blue dress.

The young woman had silky long hair and beautiful makeup that complemented her delicate facial features. Both her

countenance and demeanor screamed of elegance.

Almost all the other young men were captivated by her presence. Even Sylvia had an extra glance at her. Lily was smiling ina

particular direction. She caressed her hand along the rails and elegantly walked down the stairs.

The hall was silenced by her beauty. All that could be heard was the clicking of her heels. The spotlight trailed her as she moved

to the white piano located in the corner. She smiled at the crowd and then sat down before the piano. Her fingers elegantly

perched on the black and white keys.

The quiet hall was soon graced by melodious music. She was skilled, and the song that she played captivated everyone’s

attention.
