Chapter 121
And now, Paige had to step up. It was the only way to expose Abbigail’s true colors and Paige was dumbfounded.
At first, she wanted Abbigail out of the industry without revealing her real identity.
Yet, someone could be utterly cheeky. They refused to admit it even though they indeed plagiarized
Everyone followed Malia’s gaze and then looked surprised. They thought that girl was Ms. Walker?
“She is Ms. Walker? No way…
“But Ms. Ballard is looking over there. That girl is the only one there.”
“Ms. Walker has won numerous piano awards at home and abroad. How can she be such a young girl?”
“Is it because of the dimness of the light that Ms. Ballard mistook her for Vallorie? She strikes me as a high school student.”
The spotlight was on the stage, so the auditorium was relatively dim, but people still noticed her beautiful face, which exuded a cold aura in the dark.
“If Ms. Ballard claimed that she was Ms. Walker, I would buy it. How could that girl be Ms. Walker?”
“I agree…”
Only then did Tyrell and Lindsey notice that Malia’s gaze was on a certain girl in the audience.
Somehow, they found that the girl’s back was somewhat similar to that of Paige.
No. To be more precise, it was more than similar. Lindsey recognized the outfit. When she had a conflict with Paige at the door of the bathroom, that was what Paige was wearing. Lindsey and Tyrell were thinking the same thing. They thought; Malia says that Parge is Ms. Walker? How is that possible?
Paige barely comes close to the piano growing up.
Paige hardly spends time studying
She may know certain keys. However, that doesn’t mean that she can compose. Paige is Ms. Walker?
It’s possible that Patricia is Ms. Walker. After all, Patricia is Donald’s daughter, the daughter of the richest man.
But Paige?
No! No way! That’s not possible!
Meanwhile, Davon also followed Malia’s line of sight and found that the girl’s back seemed a bit familiar. He was dumbfounded at Lindsey’s words.
His expression was somewhat shocked. He thought, Paige? She is here?
How did she get in?
Malia says that Paige is Ms. Walker? How is that possible?
Patricia followed Malla’s gaze and looked at the audience. Only Paige was there.
Patricia thought; Paige is Ms. Walker?
What a joke!
Who is Ms. Walker? How could she be this young?
Malia must have made a mistake.
“Paige” So, it was you.” Abbigail was stunned.
Abbigail suddenly realized something, and her voice reached everyone’s ears through the microphone. She said, “I got it! You pretended that you were Ms. Walker and went to Ms Ballard to disclose me. Ms. Ballard was kind enough to buy your nonsense”
After all, no one had ever seen Vallorie. Paige might have pretended to be her
Abbigail sheered as if she had found the chief culprit. “You may go ahead and pretend to be someone else. No one cares. Do you have any idea how many people here are Ms. Walker’s fans? Did you get permission from her fans before pretending to be her? Do you think her fans are easy to fool?”
Everyone was whispering.
“That’s right. How could she be Ms. Walker? Ms. Walker’s skills are unparalleled…”
‘I agree. On no ground is she Ms. Walker…”
“If she does pretend to be Ms. Walker, I won’t let her slide easily!”
“It sounds like these two girls know each other and have a beef…”
Everyone was gossiping.
Abbigail felt deeply humiliated. At this precise moment, she made up her mind to make Paige embarrassed as well.
“You took my place and have enjoyed eighteen years of glory. By coincidence, my parents brought me back and stopped me from suffering outside. You were bitter, so you have been targeting me everywhere. Hearing Abbigail’s words, everyone was shocked…
They did not expect the two girls to be so deeply entangled.
According to Abbigail, the girl in the audience set up a trap to take revenge on Abbigail, who was on the stage.
In an instant, everyone stopped praising Paige’s beauty. Instead, they began to speak ill of her.
“Your biological family is so poor. You go out with a different man every day just to stay in Chicago. Which sugar daddy brings you in today? Do you dare introduce him to everyone?
As a sister, I repeatedly tried to persuade you not to go astray. You didn’t appreciate my kindness. Instead, you hit me several times. Still, I was willing to let that slide. Yet, you even bullied my fiancé and had him beat up.
“I wanted to be the bigger person here for the sake of the family. To my surprise, you went all out to gain Ms. Ballard’s trust when you saw me getting awarded. You did everything you could to smear me! Ms. Ballard was so kind. That was why she bought your lie!”
The people present were shocked once again.
They thought; the girl in the audience sounded easy.
She looks so beautiful. Maybe she is the kind of woman who seduces men with her beauty.
After listening to Abbigail’s analysis, they figured that Paige slandered Abbigail because of jealousy or unwillingness.
Patricia, who was aside, looked at Abbigail in confusion.
She thought, seriously? What’s wrong with you? Are you nuts!?
It’s possible that Paige doesn’t know how to play the piano.
But Paige’s family is the opposite of poor. If you claim that the richest man in the country is poor, then what does that make your family?
You said that Paige goes out with a different man every day just to stay in Chicago?
Her parents give her 16 million dollars as her allowance. Also, the clothes and bags they give her are so many that she doesn’t need to go shopping for at least three years.
Do you really think she needs to rely on a man?
Besides, she is already with Martin. Does she need to curry favor with other men?
Abbigail, you are speaking nonsense and are a bitch.
What man in the world is better than Martin?
Abbigail, you are full of shit.
However, it was none of Patricia’s business. Instead, it was about Paige. Therefore, Patricia chose to remain silent and watch the show.
“Nonsense!” Malia was furious. “Does someone in Ms. Walker’s position need to please men to make a living? She is already way above the Tate family!”
Simply the name “Vallorie Walker” surpassed countless rich families.
Before, someone from showbiz offered Vallorie 16 thousand dollars a note, wanting to invite Vallorie to write a song for him. However, Vallorie turned him down, claiming that she was not short of money and had no time.
“Who gives you, a junior, the nerve to blaspheme Ms. Walker? All of us from the Piano Association combined are still no match for Ms. Walker in terms of musical talents. Do you think that just because Ms. Walker is young, she’s got no one to back her up? Let me tell you something. The Piano Association has got Ms. Walker’s back! I dare you to slander her again!”
The audience was in an uproar.
They thought, so, that girl is Ms. Walker!
Ms. Ballard looks so indignant. That girl must be Ms. Walker!
Chapter 122
Valore was not at all what they thought she was. She was so young and pretty.
They figured that Vallonie would be Malia’s age.
Abbigail could not believe her ears. She thought, seriously? Paige is Ms. Walker? No way!
Even Tyrell, Lindsey, and Davon, who were below the stage, were utterly shocked. They could not believe it at all.
“You are just a junior. What qualifies you to question Ms. Walker’s piano skills? She can play the piano even with her eyes closed. Heck, she can play with her back to the piano better than you!” The audience was once again in an uproar.
Abbigail’s face was more than ghastly pale. Yet she still insisted stubbornly, “Is that so? Since she is so good at playing the piano, why not invite her to go on stage and play for everyone?” Malia thought, girl, you can talk.
No one has ever dared to make such an unreasonable request.
You are just a junior. You think too highly of yourself, don’t you?
“If it’s her piece, then I’m sure she can play it without looking at the score. If she fails, then she is not Ms. Walker, and it’s not her piece. How about that? Ms. Walker, do you dare to come up? Prove yourself!” Abbigail was sure that Paige didn’t know how to play the piano.
Abbigail thought, even if she did, there was no way she could memorize this piece that hadn’t gone public yet and play all the notes accurately.
Malia was about to ask the security guards to kick out Abbigail, the muddle-headed junior. Unexpectedly, Paige stood-up and smiled, “Alright.”
Paige thought; I make your wish come true, Abbigail. I’ll defeat you and convince you thoroughly.
Everyone watched as Paige walked up the stage step by step. Her beautiful facial features were stunning, and her skin was flawlessly fair. The light in her eyes was eye-catching, and her entire body exuded a cold and proud aura.
Not only did she have a strong aura, but she also had a great look.
“Ms. Ballard said that you could play the piano with your back to the piano. Why don’t you impress us?” Abbigail was sure that Paige would make a fool of herself.
At the same time, Donald and Danica came back in a hurry and found that many people were standing on the stage. Also, Patricia was holding the championship trophy in her hand. It seemed that the award ceremony had finished already.
Yet they were confused They thought, if so, why is Patricia still on the stage? Why is she standing there with those people?
And why is the atmosphere a bit strange?
What’s more, why is Paige on the stage as well? What’s going on?
Donald and Danica were surprised.
Paige sat on the bench with her back to the piano, her hands behind her, her slender fingers on the keys, playing fluently. Everyone was shocked, because Paige did not look up at the score at all, yet she still managed to play every note so naturally.
The wonderful sound of the music flowed out from her fingers, which was very pleasant to listen to.
“I am a big fan of Ms. Walker. Both the melody and momentum of this piece of music remind me of Ms. Walker.”
“Only Ms. Walker can compose such a wonderful piece.”
“I bet she composes this piece. Otherwise, how could she play without any preparation?”, I swear she is Ms. Walker!
Donald and Danica were both stunned. They thought; Parge is Ms. Walker?
Our precious daughter is a music genius”
We have no idea.
Everyone was shocked. After all, Paige had her back to the piano and didn’t look at the score at all. Also, she could play such a beautiful melody with such grace. What was more, her fingering was excellent. The entire piece was magnificent and grand. It had Vallorie’s style all over it.
Vallorie’s music had a strong influence, and all the people present were moved.
In comparison, everyone realized that the piece “Sorrow” that Abbigail swore she wrote was simply copyrighted.
They were now certain that the girl who was playing the piano right now was definitely Vallorie.
After Paige finished playing, she took the microphone from the host and said, “I wrote this piece last year for the survivors of the earthquake, so I can play it without looking at the score.”
It was the most solid proof.
Tyrell and Lindsey were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning. They could not believe that Paige, who used to be their child could play the piano professionally.
They thought, isn’t she incapable of doing anything?
What’s more, she looks so cold all day.
How can she play the piano?
And the piece she plays requires fine playing.
It is said that Ms. Walker has been offered great money to compose before, but she turned the offer down.
We never thought that it was Paige.
Patricia also had no idea that Paige was Vallorie. Judging from Paige’s performance, her piano skills were better than everyone else’s present in the venue.
Patricia felt embarrassed when she thought of how she flaunted in front of Paige earlier.
Abbigail was shocked. However, she was stubborn. “That’s impossible! Ms. Ballard has already said that this piece has already been chosen to be part of the textbook. I’m sure you that you have pulled some strings to get the score and memorize it in advance just to humiliate me.”
Abbigail thought, otherwise, there was no way you could play it so fluently.
You replaced me since we were young and have enjoyed the life of a rich family’s daughter. You learned to play the piano while spending my family’s money. There is nothing to be proud of!
After Cella finished listening to Paige’s performance, she realized that there was always someone better than her. She thought, just playing the refrain of Ms. Walker’s piece in public. Would she think of my performance as inferior?
Abbigail was so stubborn. Seeing that, Malia was furious.
Malia said, “You insisted that you composed ‘Sorrow’ yourself. Also, you managed to compose such a beautiful refrain. If so, do you dare to battle with Ms. Walker?”
Battle? How?
Everyone was stunned.
“You and Ms. Walker each have ten minutes to improvise. If you are that talented, and your improvisation is better than hers, then we will admit that you are good at composing as well,” Malia said, looking at Abbigail coldly. “Do you dare?”
Paige, who was aside, lazily said, “Ten minutes won’t be necessary.”
She sat in front of the piano and played an improvised melody casually.
Without any preparation or deliberation, the music she played sounded magnificent and melodious.
After a short lilt of joy, Paige followed it up with a rousing tune. The crowd heard the change in music and felt the anger. Then the melody she played became sad. In the end, she put everyone in the mood with a piece of joyful music.
She casually uses music to interpret all kinds of emotions, including joy, anger, and sorrow.
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Her fingering, her ability to play the field, and the style and class of her piece all proved one thing.
She was Vallorie!
The crowd was thinking the same thing. They thought, that if it weren’t for today’s farce, we wouldn’t have heard the wonderful music or seen Ms. Walker in person.
The applause continued for a long time.
Even Donald and Danica were clapping non-stop.
They didn’t expect Paige, their precious daughter, to be so outstanding at playing the piano.
Paige played the piano so well.
On the other hand, Abbigail’s expression was way more than a simple shock.
She thought; Paige’s piano skills are not only above mine, but far beyond anyone else in the room.
Paige is Vallorie!
Chapter 123
Hearing Paige’s improvisation, Patricia had one question in her mind, and that was why Paige could play so well without any preparation.
Over the past years, Patricia has heard a lot of niche piano music. Therefore, she was sure that the melody that Paige had played had never appeared in the market Patricia thought, therefore, that it was her improvisation!
How could she improvise without deliberation?
I shamelessly asked her whether she played the piano and won any awards…
I even showed off in front of her by mentioning my championships and my teacher, Andie…
How shameful!
Andie is nobody in front of Ms. Walker.
Vallorie was a myth in the piano world, and no one could break her record so far.
She had won countless awards of great value at home and abroad. Vallorie was equal to Larry!
Therefore, Patricia thought, Ms. Walker wouldn’t take me seriously even if I had won more than 500 times.
She is at a level beyond my reach!
I made a fool of myself.
When I asked those stupid questions, Paige was playing games. I thought she would be good-for-nothing for the rest of her life…
Her previous contempt and arrogance she had shown to Paige embarrassed her now…
Patricia could not tell how she felt now, frustrated, indignant, sad, disappointed, helpless, or…
“It is your turn.” On the stage, Malia smiled and looked at Abbigail with confidence. “Ms. Walker has improvised. How is her melody? I believe everyone has their answer. Don’t you think that you are more gifted than Ms. Walker? Then, impress us.”
Standing where she was, Abbigail trembled all over. She knew better than anyone about her talent in piano. She would make a fool of herself if she sat by the piano.
How could I beat Ms. Walker! Abbigail thought.
Malia saw through Abbigail. After a sneer, Malia said, “If you can’t improvise, then play a famous song you have heard.”
Abbigail couldn’t play any famous songs…
She had once learned ‘Canon”, “For Elise”, “Mariage D’amour, and so on. However, she could not remember the melody and couldn’t play the piano without the scores.
Even if there were the scores, Abbigail couldn’t play as well as Paige.
Whoever knew something about the piano would find out the truth soon.
“You can’t play the top ten famous songs, can you?” Malia thought, how ironic! I overestimated her.
“My mind goes blank suddenly…” Biting her lower lip, Abbigail insisted.
Abbigail’s embarrassment amused Malia. “You can’t improvise and don’t remember the famous songs. Then, play whatever you know.”
Abbigail did not move. She had practiced Sorrow and it only for one month. She didn’t practice anything else.
“Well, do you know anything? What about Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star?”
The audience burst into laughter.
“What a shock that Abbigail doesn’t play the piano!”
“Does she know nothing but Sorrow?”
“She can’t remember the score, can she?”
“For a pianist, remembering the score is the most basic thing. She can’t remember a few bars of melody. How absurd!”
“She can’t play the most basic Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star! How absurd! I could play that song when I was four years old.”
“How could such a girl get second place?”
“There must be something wrong!”
Linda, who sat in the first row, held a microphone and said disappointedly. “The competition this year demanded that the participants play well and could compose songs. From the first audition to the third round for the top eight candidates, you played the same melody.”
Most participants played a few songs to leave a good impression on the judges.
However, Abbigail played Sorrow only.
“I thought you did so because you were very confident in your song. Therefore, I admire you. However, the reason turns out to be that you can play nothing but Sorrow!”
Linda seemed to be very disappointed in Abbigail. “You played tricks on such a serious and grand occasion. I am very disappointed in you.”
“No, no, it’s not like that…” Abbigail almost sobbed. “I can play…”
There was an uproar among the audience.
“Then play! Prove yourself!”
“Ms. Walker played so well. Are you afraid? You don’t dare to play, do you?” “Apologize!”
“Apologize to Ms. Walker!”
“You aren’t qualified to get second place! You shouldn’t stay in this circle!”
“Abbigail, you are not cut for this field! Please get out of this circle!”
“Get out! Get out!”
Tyrell and Lindsey watched their daughter fall from a celebrity to a notorious wretch. To make things worse, Paige was the cause. Distressed, the Tate couple wanted to speak up for their daughter.
Right then, Paige said, “I met your old classmate just now.” Paige looked indifferent with a strong vibe. “Now, let’s invite her to the stage.”
Surprised, the crowd saw a girl appear on the stage. Standing there, the girl said, “Hello everyone. My name is Ella Bingley. I came to this ceremony at the invitation of Celia, I once studied in the same class as Abbigail.”
“Ella!” Abbigail exclaimed in shock.
Abbigail had a good time with Ella in the past. They had been good friends but had some conflicts later. They lost contact with each other after Ella transferred to another school…
Abbigail did not expect her once-good friend to expose her past in public. Abbigail wondered, did Ella do so because I showed off in front of her before the ceremony?
Whatever the reason is, I will be doomed today! Abbigail subconsciously clenched her fists, and her face turned pale.
“Abbigail was poor in the past. I had been to her house, and there was no piano at all. She was very envious of me, who could learn the piano. She would touch my piano whenever she visited me at my house “I am sure that she did not learn the piano before high school. She could not distinguish between the upper and lower registers.
“She must have learned the piano after high school.”
Chapter 124
As soon as Celia revealed the truth, the audience burst into an uproar.
They had originally thought that Abbigail had been studying piano since she was a kid, but she only started learning piano after high school
“Later on, my parents hired a piano tutor for me,” Abbigail said in a low voice.
Before she could finish her words, Paige asked, “Is she the piano tutor you mentioned?”
A young female teacher walked onto the stage. She glanced at Abbigail and greeted everyone, “Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I am Abbigail’s piano tutor, and I have taught her how to play the piano for a month.” A month…
Abbigail only learned to play the piano for a month.
Everyone was stunned.
“Abbigail has never learned anything about the piano. At first, I introduced some world-famous pieces of music to her, but it was difficult for her to remember the melody, and her fingering was wrong. However, a few days later, she suddenly became enlightened and wrote a melody, asking me about my opinions.
“I have never heard such a beautiful piece of music. It was magnificent and irresistible!
“At that time, I suspected that she might copy some master’s work. She had only learned the piano for a few days. It was impossible for her to create such a piece of beautiful music.
“But I searched on the Internet for a long time and did not find the music score. So I believed her and praised her for being a musical talent.
“I asked her about it. She said that she was suddenly inspired and improvised.
“To be honest, people like me who have been in the piano industry for more than ten years can’t even write such a great piece of music! So I resigned.”
The piano teacher was right. This music was not created by Abbigail but by Vallorie!
No wonder it was so wonderful
Abbigail took two steps back. With solid evidence, she didn’t know what to say and trembled violently.
She knew that her piano career was over!
The audience below the stage cursed angrily!”
“She plagiarized others’ works! She won’t admit it until her classmates and teacher expose her.”
“But she still argues that she composed the music. I wonder what she will do to wrongly accuse Ms. Walker.”
“Please apologize to Ms. Walker!”
“You owe the original creator an apology!”
“You have to apologize!”
“Apologize to Ms. Walker! Otherwise, you won’t be able to get out of this theater!”
Many of the audience stood up and sternly denounced Abbigail on the dance stage.
For the first time, Abbigail knew what it felt like to lose her reputation.
Below the stage, Davon suddenly discovered that the girl he deeply loved had become unfamiliar, vain, and terrifying.
Abbigail stole Vallone’s work and said it was her, and she didn’t admit it until others exposed her.
Davon felt like he had never seen through her before.
Greta, who had rushed over, saw this scene and was shocked and angry.
Greta thought, as expected, she was just a mean girl. Fortunately, she didn’t marry into the Elinor family Otherwise, she would ruin the reputation of the Elinor family.
“You finally came,” teased Kamora when she saw Greta. “You made the right decision to not let her marry into the Elinor family. Look at her, she didn’t admit it when she stole other’s work. What a fool”, why are you here? Davon found that Greta was here.
“Come with me.” Greta held Davon’s hand and said, “You saw it. This girl is not worthy of your love! If you marry her, you will be laughed at for the rest of your life.”
“But the other young lady is amazing. She’s so young, but she’s actually Ms. Walker,” Kamora sighed.
“Who are you talking about?” Greta followed Kamora’s gaze.
“The coolest and the most beautiful young lady in the middle of the stage.” Kamora gestured with her hand “She is Ms. Walker You didn’t expect it, did you?”
Greta looked at Paige’s cold face and was shocked. She didn’t expect that Paige would be Vallorie. The Elinor family suffered a loss.
“I wonder what kind of young man is lucky enough to marry her. I heard that someone in the entertainment industry asked her to create a piano piece with a high price, but she was not interested and said that she was not short of money.”
Kamera’s words made Greta’s expression change in shock.
In the past, Greta didn’t think that Paige was capable, but Paige always looked cold and put on an act of superiority.
Greta did not expect Paige to act like that because she was indeed a talent.
Greta was superficial, unable to distinguish the good from the bad.
Davon glanced at Paige who was on the stage. She was so beautiful and outstanding in the crowd, like the most dazzling star.
On the other hand, Abbigail, who was beside her, was much inferior to Paige.
It could be said that Abbigail was like a passer-by, ordinary and unremarkable.
Davon wondered why he was so obsessed with her previously.
Davon stood up and left with Greta.
Abbigail, who was on the stage, noticed this and wanted to persuade him to stay.
However, a group of people surrounded her and wanted her to apologize!
Tyrell and Lindsey were also ridiculed by the people around them. They felt so embarrassed that they only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible!
“You didn’t receive my permission and plagiarized my work! You broke the law and should take responsibility. You will receive the lawyer’s letter,” Paige said as she looked coldly at Abbigail.
Abbigail opened her mouth but had nothing to say. She was defeated.
The audience was still strongly requesting her to apologize.
Seeing her parents being surrounded and attacked by the audience, Abbigail bowed deeply to Paige with tears in her eyes, “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t plagiarize your work.” After saying that, Abbigail pushed away the crowd and ran off the stage. She didn’t have the face to stay in this place!
When Tyrell and Lindsey saw her run away, they also quickly pushed away the crowd and fled.
Everyone surrounded Paige.
“Ms. Walker, I recently made a song. I wonder if I have the honor of receiving your guidance.”
“Ms. Walker, my name is Celia Lomas. I won third place in this competition. May I learn from you for a period of time?”
“Ms. Walker, your impromptu composition was so good! I was fascinated by it! I am your fan, and I can play all your songs.
The fans are extremely fascinated!” Thank you for creating so many good pieces of music and bringing a music feast to so many fans!
“Ms. Walker, I like you! Can you give me your autograph?”
“Can we take a picture?”
The audience surrounded Paige with care, expectation, and uneasiness, hoping that she could take a look at them.
When Paige saw her parents from afar, she gently said, “I still have something to do, so please pretend that you didn’t see me today.” “No problem.”
“We will not speak this out!”
“If others ask who you look like, we won’t tell them any details.”
Chapter 125
“Yes, Ms Walker, you can rest assured.”
Ms. Walker, when will you compose a new song? We have been waiting for too long.”
Paige smiled, “I will compose one as soon as possible.”
“That’s great!” Everyone was happy and did not dare to get in her way. They stepped aside to make way for her. The host announced the end of the competition, and the audience all left. Paige walked towards her parents and saw that they looked excited. She smiled faintly and said. “Let’s talk in the car”
“Well, great.” Donald did not expect that his precious daughter was actually Vallorie
Jack even begged Vallorie to write a song and was willing to pay 16 thousand dollars for one note. But Vallone rejected him. After returning home, Jack complained that Vallorie was too stingy! Donald did not expect that this piano master was actually Paige, Jack’s biological younger sister. This was interesting.
A few fans could not help but be envious when they saw Vallorie leave with Donald and Danica.
“Well, the big shots friends are also rich. When can I be friends with rich people?”
“Close your eyes.”
“What? Close my eyes?”
“You can get everything in your dream.”
On the way back, Patricia only felt that the championship trophy in her hand was heavy, just like her mood…
In Vallorie’s eyes, this was nothing.
Patricia was just about to hide this shameful thing behind her when she heard Danica say, “Patricia, Paige is Vallone! If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask her.” “Oh, alright.”
But how could Paige be willing to teach her?
“I didn’t expect that Paige would be a music genius! Great! We have to celebrate tonight!” Danica smiled from ear to ear.
Donald was also very happy. “Paige has gained a good reputation for the Lusk family. She must have suffered in the Tate family as they didn’t value her.”
“They are heartless! Don’t mention them, lest you ruin our moods.”
“You’re right, Don’t worry. I will deal with them.” Donald took out his phone and said to the person on the other side of the line, “Tell our partners that no one is allowed to cooperate with the Tate family, otherwise it will be against Daybreak Group!”
The Tate family was so sinister that they bullied Paige.
Donald wouldn’t let them go.
Patricia had been proud of herself for so many years, so from the bottom of her heart, she still could not accept that Paige was stronger than her.
At this time, she was jealous and angry, but she still had to pretend to be calm on the surface. It was so difficult.
Rhys knocked on the door of the president’s office. Without waiting for Martin’s permission, he rushed in ‘Mr. Stowe, Something happened! Ms. Paige is actually Vallone! The famous music genius in the piano world!”
Martin raised his eyes. He was surprised, but he smiled dotingly.
Paige had always brought him surprises. She was so young, but she was not only skilled in medicine but also in piano.
What else did she hide from him?
“Today, Ms. Paige attended the award ceremony for a piano competition with her family…” Rhys described what had happened
In the Tate’s house…
Abbigail locked herself in her room and did not come out.
“Ms Abbigail, didn’t you go to the awards ceremony, What happened?
“We made a cake for you and wanted to celebrate when you came back.
“Open the door and take a look at this cake. It says, Congratulations Ms. Abbigail for winning…”
The sound of a vase shattering came from the room as if telling them to shut up and stop talking.
They were shocked. Seeing that Tyrell and Lindsey had returned, they hurriedly went downstairs. “Mr. Tate, Mrs. Tate, Ms. Abbigail…
Before they could finish their words, they saw that Tyrell and Lindsey were dispirited and their clothes were messy. They looked like they were about to go bankrupt!
“Mr. Tate, Mrs. Tate, what happened?”
“Ms. Abbigail locked herself in the room, and you look dispirited.”
“Didn’t Ms. Abbigail go to the competition? But we didn’t see her get any trophies…”
“Mrs Tate, are you alright?”
Seeing that Lindsey was about to fall, they hurried forward to support her.
Lindsey felt tired and dizzy, and she was about to lose her footing. “Don’t… Don’t mention the award again.”
“Alright, it’s all my fault. Mrs. Tate, let me help you to sit on the sofa for a while “They hurriedly helped Lindsey to the sofa and poured two glasses of water. “Mr. Tate, take a seat.” Tyrell had never been in such a sorry state before.
He didn’t understand why Abbigail plagiarized someone else’s work, but that person happened to be Paige.
Everyone is laughing at them.
“Paige, that damn girl… Lindsey was so tired that she couldn’t curse Paige anymore.
They thought that Tyrell and Lindsey had met Paige again, and Paige made them unhappy, so they hurriedly scolded Paige as well.
“That ungrateful soul provoked you again? No wonder there were tears on Ms. Abbigail’s face when she came back, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot. It turned out that Paige had angered her. “She’s so ungrateful. If not for you who raised her, she wouldn’t have been where she is today.
That damn woman! She showed no gratitude to you at all.”
“That’s enough!” Tyrell was agitated. “If Abbigail hadn’t plagiarized her work, Paige wouldn’t have exposed her in public. It’s Abbigail’s fault. She didn’t tell us in advance.”
If she did, we wouldn’t have been at the awards ceremony today, and we wouldn’t have embarrassed ourselves.
Several maids were stunned. They didn’t believe that Abbigail plagiarized Paige’s work and was discovered.
This was awkward.
No wonder they looked so depressed when they came back home.
At this moment, Lindsey’s cell phone rang. When she saw that it was from Leah, she felt uneasy, but she still squeezed out a smile. “Hello, Mrs. Wayne.”
“Mrs. Tate, today’s award ceremony ended at eleven o’clock in the morning. And one minute later, we announced Ms. Abbigail to be our spokesperson on Twitter. But not long after, someone called me and said that Ms. Abbigail plagiarized Ms. Walker’s work and was exposed on the spot.”
Lindsey knew that Leah had come for this matter and said fawningly, “Mrs. Wayne, please listen to me…”
Leah interrupted forcefully, “Because the news was blocked by someone, I didn’t know it until half an hour. Now many people are boycotting my brand! We have no choice but to delete the Tweet! Things have gotten to this point, but you guys just kept quiet and didn’t even give me an explanation.”
Lindsey only felt embarrassed. “Mrs. Wayne, listen to me…”
Chapter 126
“Mrs. Tate Leah did not want to hear any explanation. “We signed a contract. During the contract period, you can’t be involved in any negative news. Otherwise, you will have to pay ten times the penalty fee. According to the requirements, you must pay us 8 million dollars in ten days, or we’ll sue you in court.”
“Mrs. Wayne!” Lindsey still wanted to say something, but Leah had already hung up the phone. When Lindsey called again, she was already blacklisted.
Lindsey was depressed. 8 million dollars! How could she get so much money?
Although Tyrell was the richest man in Dolton and his personal assets were more than 160 million dollars, most of them were fixed assets, such as houses, shops, shares, cars, and so on.
A while ago, because Pai Group suddenly canceled its cooperation with them, there was a problem with capital chain turnover in the Tate Group. Besides, they had lost a lot of money in business and sold a lot of shops and houses.
How could they get 8 million dollars?
They might have to sell the shares.
But once they sold the shares, they would become small shareholders. The decision-making night would fall into the hands of Cassie and other shareholders
That was not the way out
They couldn’t sell shares.
“You guys leave us alone!” Lindsey dismissed the *and asked Tyrell in a low and anxious voice, “What should we do? Abigail has violated the contract and we have to compensate 8 million dollars in ten days.” Tyrell was about to say something when his phone vibrated. It was from an unfamiliar number.
“Is that Mr. Tate? This is Ms. Walker’s attorney.”
Lindsey didn’t know who was talking to Tyrell, but Tyrell said in shock, “Compensate 9.6 million dollars?”
“Yes, Ms. Abbigail plagiarized Ms. Walker’s work and took it to the competition without permission. It is a serious violation of rights and you must bear the corresponding responsibility
“According to the law, you must stop the infringing activities and eliminate the negative influence. After apologizing, you have to compensate Ms. Walker for the loss.
“With Ms. Walker’s reputation, she’s kind enough to only ask you to pay 9.6 million dollars.
“If you can’t pay the money in three days, we will take Ms. Abbigail to court and announce this matter on our official account.”
“Don’t” Tyrell hurriedly pleaded, “We can’t solve this.”
If the news was announced in public, everyone would know that Abbigail plagiarized Parge’s work, and it would have a serious negative impact on her and the Tate family’s reputation.
When Lindsey saw that Tyrell had finished talking on the phone, she hurriedly asked, “What’s going on? The *Paige wants us to compensate 9.6 million dollars? Why?”
“Because Abbigail plagiarized her work!” Tyrell got angry when he thought about it. “Can you stop cursing her? If you didn’t insist on driving her out of the Tate family, with her status, she can bring us many benefits! How outstanding are our daughters? How proud will we be? And she may bring us many resources after marriage!”
The Tate family has afforded to raise Paige.
And they didn’t cherish her.
It was too late to regret it now.
They didn’t even know she was Vallone. I didn’t hear her mention it before Lindsey was a little angry “You can see how scheming she is! Cassie loves her the most, but she even hid it from Cassie!” Lindsey was sure that if Cassie knew about that, Cassie would definitely tell them.
Tyrell sat on the sofa in disappointment. They had to pay 8 million dollars for the breach of the contract and 9 6 million dollars for infringement. It added up to almost 18 dollars.
He did not have that much cash on hand.
“Tyrell, why don’t we discuss it with Paige? She is soft-hearted.”
Before Lindsey could finish her words, Tyrell could not help but scold, “You also know that she is soft-hearted. If you had been a little more magnanimous, we wouldn’t have had a bad relationship when we had to send her away. At least we can greet her with a smile when we see her on the street. But now, we have turned her into our enemy!”
Tyrell discovered that ever since Paige left the Tate’s house, the Tate family had encountered many difficulties
Abbigail had just gotten a second place, but before she could be happy about that, she was accused of plagiarism.
Tyrell couldn’t tell what he was feeling right now. He just felt sorry, angry, sad, and frustrated.
He thought of Pai Group and suddenly realized.
*No wonder Paige ate with Rylan and the others. No wonder Abel treated her with respect.”
It was very likely that Paige had made friends with some powerful people because of her identity as Vallorie.
Tyrell had no choice now. “Call Abbigail down. Now, we can only sincerely apologize to Paige and strive to get her forgiveness.”
“Why?” Lindsey cried out and said unwillingly, “Abbigail already apologized to her on the stage.”
Why did they have to apologize in private?
That would give Paige a chance to ridicule them.
“You should thank her if we didn’t need to compensate just because we apologize! Tyrell vaguely felt that the matter was not so simple. “What I am worried about is that Paige has been hurt by us too many times, and she will not forgive us so easily.”
Paige had already blocked their call.
“Didn’t she take a fancy to Abbigail’s necklace? We can give that to her.”
Before Lindsey could finish her words, Tyrell laughed.
“What are you laughing at?
“She’s a piano master. Doesn’t she have the money to buy a necklace?”
“Then why did she steal Abbigail’s? Why did she interact with so many men? Isn’t it just for money?”
Tyrell pondered for a while and said, “Abbigail’s words may not be true. Maybe it’s because of her identity that she has to interact with so many men. She made friends with like-minded people.”
After all, people with noble status always gathered together.
When Lindsey heard him say this, she suddenly felt that it made sense.
But how could Abbigail lie?
Tyrell must be thinking too much!
At this moment, Tyrell’s phone vibrated again. It was from Issac.
“Mr. Tate, something bad happened! The Lusk family has declared that no company is allowed to cooperate with us. Whoever dares to help us will be at odds with the Lusk family!
“Now, several other companies have come to terminate their contracts.
“If this goes on, our company will go bankrupt.”
Hearing that, Tyrell was shocked and confused. “We didn’t offend the Lusk family. Did the Lusk family say anything about it?”
“No.”
“Go and find it out!” Tyrell was anxious. They didn’t have any conflict with the Lusk family at the awards ceremony today. They didn’t even greet each other! How did they offend the Lusk family? “Alright, don’t worry. I will go and ask around.”
After Issac hung up the phone, Tyrell faintly felt that he was finished.
He could not understand why the Lusk family would be against them. Was it because of Paige?
Was it possible that the Lusk family liked Vallorie and saw that she was bullied, so they came out to help her?
If that was the case, then the Tate family had offended two people with high status.
Chapter 127
In the Villa.
Donald had just returned home when he discovered that the piano at home was no longer worthy of Paige’s identity. He immediately took out his phone. “Customize a diamond piano for my daughter! Other than the piano keys, the other parts have to be used with diamonds! And the sound has to be the best! It must be delivered before dark.”
“The piano is too ordinary. Indeed, it does not match up to Paige’s identity.” Danica smiled from ear to ear and quickly said to the chef., “Go and prepare a fancy dinner for Paige. Tonight, we have to celebrate!” Bonnie was curious and asked with a smile, “What’s there to celebrate? Mrs. Lusk, is there any good news?”
“Paige is Vallorie, the famous grand piano master! We didn’t know about that until today.”
Danica had just finished speaking when they heard a scream, ‘Ms. Paige is so great. She’s young, but she’s awesome!
It meant that she was better than Patricia in piano skills.
They looked at Patricia, who looked a bit sullen.
“Paige is too low-key.” Danica looked at Paige tenderly and lovingly. “Are you tired? Go upstairs and rest. When the meal is ready, I will call you” “Alright.”
After Paige went upstairs, she received a call from Jairo.
“Boss, can you come to Knapcoll Villa? The A33’s research failed again.”
Knapcoll Villa, located on the outskirts of Chicago, was one of Paige’s villas. It was picturesque and had many large laboratories.
The laboratories were equipped with the most advanced equipment and instruments at home and abroad. Many of Paige’s medical experiments were finished there before.
A33 was an abbreviation for their project of researching Alzheimer’s Disease. As everyone knew, this disease could not be cured, and it could only be temporarily alleviated by medicine.
It was as difficult to invent a medicine that could cure the disease.
“Boss, this project costs too much money. Why don’t we change the project? We can’t spend so much money on this.”
“I’ll go take a look later,” Paige said lightly.
“Great. When you come, can you make a Heart Relief Pill and Longevity Pill? Recently, many people in the black market have offered high prices for them.”
“OK”
After hanging up the phone, Paige took the medicine that Anna gave her and went downstairs. Then she went out.
Knapcoll Villa was located in a lush forest. It was magnificent and covered a large area of a place. When the dozen or so men guarding the gate saw Paige, they were excited and respectful. “Boss, there you are.”
When Paige entered the main hall, Jairo was already waiting there.
“Boss, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You are still so cool.”
Paige’s aura was cold as she said, “It has been a long time since we last met You’re getting more thick-skinned.”
Jairo shrank his neck in fear. “I didn’t.”
Several doctors and experts in Lab 1 greeted Paige respectfully when they saw her. Paige nodded, changed her clothes, and stepped into the laboratory
“We failed to extract Sarolian,” one of the doctors said helplessly. “There is something in it that can improve memory, but we have to be careful when extracting the ingredients. Otherwise, the components will be damaged. We tried for more than ten days, but we still didn’t make it”
Another doctor said, “And Huperzia, Eleuthero, and other ingredients. Although the extraction is successful, they must be synthesized to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain, but we can’t synthesize them.” Paige opened the data of the recent failed research and pondered for a while before saying. “Let me try.”
A few doctors and experts surrounded her, watching her steam Sarolian at high temperature and trying to extract it
Not long after, Paige’s phone rang.
She was busy and did not have time to answer the phone, but the phone kept ringing.
In the end, Paige could only take off her gloves and walk outside. She picked up the phone with some displeasure
“Paige, it’s Dad! Don’t hang up! It will only cost you two minutes.”
Tyrell hurriedly finished the main point in one breath. “Abbigail plagiarized your work. It was her fault. We had already severely criticized her! Your Mom and I are also responsible for this matter. We didn’t teach her well, causing her to make such a serious mistake! Are you free now? We will take Abbigail to apologize to you in person!”
“No.” Paige was about to hang up the phone.
‘Don’t hang up! Please, Paige. Give Abbigail a chance to apologize and also give us a chance. We were wrong before and felt sorry for what we did to you. For grandma’s sake…”
“You are not qualified to mention grandma. Paige’s voice was extremely cold.
They were anxious when they had to compensate 9.6 million dollars. They even wanted to use Paige’s sympathy by mentioning Cassie
“Well. You’re right, if Cassie wakes up and sees that the Tate family has been ruined, she will definitely be heartbroken, and her condition will worsen.”
Tyrell seemed to be regretful and sad. “It’s our fault. You should forget us, and we do not dare to ask for your forgiveness. But if you are willing to…”
“No.” Paige did not wait for him to finish speaking and interrupted him directly.
Tyrell did not expect her to be so cold-hearted. He was at his wit’s end. “Paige, what should I do before you can let this go? Just tell me, and I will try my best.”
“Yeah. There’s one thing you can do,” Paige said. “Pay the fees, and go to the black market to buy some good medicine for grandma with the rest of your money.”
Tyrell remembered Colin saying that there was a kind of powerful medicine in the black market. But it cost 1.6 million dollars for each pill. The patients had to take the medicine twice a month. After three months, the patient could have surgery, which was much better than staying in the hospital room, counting the days.
Because this medicine was made of very rare medicinal materials, one pill was expensive.
Tyrell subconsciously refused. The reason he let Cassie stay in the hospital was that she had 30% of the shares in her hand, which were worth 50 million dollars. Secondly, Cassie was biased. Tyrell was afraid that she would become muddle-headed and give the shares to Paige.
That was why he wanted to save Cassie. Before she died, he had to ask her to make a will and leave all the shares to Abbigail.
He thought that Paige did not know what he was thinking. He smiled kindly and said, “Paige, don’t worry about Grandma. I will definitely save her. She is my mother! The medicine in the black market is not reliable. Farwen Hospital is the best hospital in the country and is famous for curing heart disease. There are also powerful experts like Professor Swift and Dr. Williamson. Cassie will be fine.”
In the end, Tyrell was reluctant to pay the money. Paige knew that he just called to persuade her not to sue Abbigail so that he didn’t need to compensate. Paige was not stupid.
Chapter 128
‘Paige…
“Two minutes are up.”
Paige hung up the phone and blocked the number. She was about to enter the laboratory when another unknown number called.
Paige was speechless.
Tyrell must have changed a new number and called her.
Paige hung up, blocked it, and stepped into the laboratory.
Tyrell had already expected that she would not pick up the call again. Before he called her, he had already asked someone to buy more than ten numbers. He kept calling her. If Paige Blocked the number, he would change to a different one.
Paige turned off her phone, and Tyrell was completely at his wit’s end.
“What’s wrong?” Lindsey saw Tyrell’s defeated look and had a bad feeling. She still won’t pick up your call, right?”
“Her phone is switched off,” Tyrell sighed and glanced at Abbigail.
Abbigail lowered her head and looked like she had done something wrong.
“… She has gone too far” Lindsey gritted her teeth She hated Paige so much. “No matter what, this matter can’t be reported on the news. Otherwise, the reputation of Abbigail, and even the Tale family, will be ruined”
Tyrell thought, isn’t it just 9.6 million dollars? I’m the richest man in Dolton, and I can afford it easily!
Tyrell was silent for a while. He took out his phone and ordered his subordinates to sell a few mansions and a dozen shops under his name. “The buyer must pay the full amount.” Otherwise, when the bank’s series of loan procedures were approved, they would not be able to get the money in three days!
“Hurry up. If it doesn’t work, you can lower the price appropriately…” After Tyrell finished speaking, he looked at Lindsey and Abbigail with a dejected gaze. “After we sell these properties, we only have this apartment and a few shops left under our name.”
When the maid holding the tea tray beside him heard this, she was shocked. The tray in her hand fell to the ground.
“What are you doing? Lindsey noticed her sneaky look and scolded, “Do you want to scare us to death?”
I’m sorry, Mrs. Tate. I didn’t manage to hold it well… The maid thought to herself, why is a person who is about to go bankrupt putting on airs in front of me? No, I have to find another way out… Not long from now, the Tate family will definitely be done for
“Dad, I’m sorry…” Abbigail sobbed, tears falling from her eyes, looking extremely guilty.
Tyrell sighed. Once the mansions and shops under his name were sold, he would no longer be the richest man in Dolton.
At that time, the Tate family’s business would be in even more danger…
“It’s all my fault.” Abbigail knew how much trouble she had caused. She cried and said, “If I didn’t return to this family, Dad would still be the richest man. You would still live a life of luxury… It was me who ruined this family! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!”
If she did not apologize, she was afraid that Tyrell would complain and kick her out.
She could tell that Tyrell was disappointed in her. Even though she was crying like this, Tyrell did not say a word to comfort her!
Silly girl! You are the child of our family. You have been living outside for eighteen years and have suffered too much!”
Lindsey touched her head lovingly and said, “You didn’t learn the piano before, but it’s different now! You have to learn well. As long as you still want to learn piano, I’ll definitely hire a tutor for you!” Abbigail cried and shook her head. It seemed that she was saying that she did not want to learn piano anymore.
Lindsey felt even more guilty “It’s fine. As long as we give them 9.6 million dollars, this matter will only be known to the people at the awards ceremony It will soon be over. It won’t spread…….” Abbigail nodded with a guilty look.
“The examination results will be out in a few days. With your grades, it won’t be a problem for you to go to a famous college!
“You can learn a lot during your four years in college. Even if you don’t want to learn piano, you can study painting, fashion design, and golf. In short, you can improve your taste and become a real and talented rich lady.
“When you graduate, you can go to our family business. You will be a capable and educated woman. However, Davon…”
It was a little tricky.
Lindsey could tell that Davon was very disappointed with Abbigail today and was even dragged away by Greta…..
“The marriage between the Tate family and the Elinor family may not be progressing for now…”
Abbigail knew in her heart that Davon was disappointed in her.
She was not the only one who had been humiliated today!
She bit her lower lip. No, she had to find a way to keep him, even if she had to pay the price…
When Paige successfully extracted Sarolian, the surrounding experts and doctors were shocked and praised her one after another.
“Amazing…”
“We were busy for more than ten days, and you finished it in one afternoon!”
“In terms of medical research, you are the best expert.”
Paige looked at the extracted Sarolian and was somewhat dissatisfied. “It has not been completely extracted. The ingredients are not pure enough. I will come again tomorrow night”
Danica had a lot of cooking done for Paige to celebrate. Now it was dark and Paige had to go back or they would wait a long time. Hearing that Paige would come tomorrow night, several doctors and experts were excited. “Great!”
“It’s pretty impressive that you were able to extract some of it!”
“I thought I was going to be forced to call it a day on this project. I didn’t think you’d make this much progress.”
“I believe that success is just around the corner!”
Paige looked at the composition of the equipment. “You can observe it tonight and see how long it can survive the heat.”
If it couldn’t take the heat, it was for nothing.
“Don’t worry, we will definitely follow up on this matter.”
Paige got in the car and left. Not long after, she returned to the Lusk Villa. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw a brand-new diamond piano, glinting in a charming light. “Paige?” When Donald saw her, he was extremely happy. ‘Come here and try this.”
Patricia was extremely jealous. She had just asked the person who delivered the piano to find out that such a piano was worth at least 16 million dollars and was very valuable.
The person who delivered the piano thought that the recipient of the gift was Patricia and even flattered her. She was furious, but she couldn’t do anything about it.
Paige touched the piano keys and gently pressed them with her slender fingers. The sounds were excellent. This piano must be worth a lot of money.
“Ms. Paige, I heard that you are a piano master. I wonder if we have the honor to listen to you play a song?”
“I heard that you are Ms. Walker. To be honest, I am your fan!”
“Ms. Walker, sorry, Ms. Paige, can I listen to you play a song?”
“Your piano music is particularly good. Before going to bed every night, I will listen to your piano pieces.”
Paige smiled. Did her piano pieces have a hypnotic effect?
Chapter 129
The pleading of several maids becomes louder, Paige sits in front of the piano. Her slender fingers fell on the piano keys, and the melodious sound of the piano immediately came Each note seemed to become a jumping spirit, leading everyone to a pleasant trip.
The people who heard this piano piece seemed to have encountered an amazing flower field on the journey, and saw the clear ocean, feeling refreshed and relaxed. As the rhythm of the song became faster and faster, everyone’s mood became better, and they got physical pleasure while listening.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of the piano ended, and everyone applauded wildly.
“It’s amazing!”
“I listen to Ms. Walker’s pieces every night. I can immediately tell whether it was played by Ms. Walker or not… You are definitely Ms. Walker!”
“Is this Ms. Walker’s new tune? I have never heard of it before. It is so beautiful, and it makes me happy. It’s so good!”
“May I ask where to download it? I haven’t heard enough…
Several maids surrounded Paige as if they worshipped her as an idol.
“It’s an improvisation,” Paige said with a shallow smile.
There was no conception in advance, and she just played whatever she thought of
Everyone was impressed by her talent and praised her again.
“Improvisation? It is better than those classic famous songs… Ms. Paige, you are awesome!”
‘The song you played just now is the most beautiful piano music I have ever heard!”
Paige’s piano skills were obviously above Patricia’s.
Patricia had been learning the piano since she was a child, and the tune she played was not as beautiful as this one.
Patricia saw the admiration and love of the maids towards Paige, and she was even more jealous.
Paige was in the limelight again!
“This piano suits Paige too well.”
Danica had just started recording videos of Paige and taking photos. When she looked at these videos and photos now, she found that Paige was really perfect. Her movements, gestures, and expressions were so beautiful.
Paige was so beautiful and eye-catching!
“Quickly send this piano to Paige’s room. Paige, if you have time, you can play it. If you don’t have time, just leave it there. It’s fine.”
Donald’s tone was full of affection.
Paige nodded and took out the present she made in the laboratory today. She handed one bottle to each of them. “Here.”
Donald and Danica were both stunned.
“I have been home for so long, but I haven’t given you guys anything.”
These two small bottles of pills were just made by her. They had different effects.
“Dad, it can strengthen your body.”
Paige knew that Donald had been busy with his career when he was young and had many physical problems. Those pills could cure a lot of them
Mom, this medicine can make you look younger “Paige said. “You can just take one capsule a day if you keep taking it for three months, it will be very effective” There were about 100 pills in such a small bottle
It was about 16 million dollars per bottle.
“You bought health care products for us?” Danica thought that this was a healthcare product. She was surprised and moved “Thank you.
She looked at Paige, her eyes full of love. “My precious daughter, don’t worry. We will definitely insist on taking it!”
“It was a gift from Paige. I couldn’t bear to take it…” Donald held this small bottle of pills, and there were tears in his eyes.
This was the first gift that Paige gave them after returning home.
He wanted to keep it.
It had always been treasured.
“It doesn’t matter. If you finish the bottle, I can send you some more.”
Donald was overjoyed. ‘Really?”
“Yes,”
‘Parge, don’t waste money. Keep the money for yourself. If it’s not enough, ask us for it. We don’t need you to buy any gifts. As long as you are healthy and happy, we will be satisfied.” Danica said lovingly. “Let’s not talk about it for now. The dinner is ready today. Paige, let’s celebrate it tonight!”
Patricia watched Danica and Donald leave holding Paige’s hand, and she felt bad.
She was clearly the one who took first place, but why did they celebrate it for Paige?
They said they were not biased.
They left her alone here.
The bias couldn’t be any more obvious!
At seven o’clock in the evening, the Stowe Group was brightly lit, and no one dared to get off work early…
In the conference room.
After listening to the report from the manager, Martin’s expression was cold. “That’s the way you say it works?”
“Mr. Stowe, I thought that if we spread the news, our opponents would be able to invest in that piece of land in the south district. As long as they are trapped, it will only be a matter of time before they have financial problems. Sooner or later, we will be able to get them…
“I was wrong! I did not expect them to pretend to invest in the piece of land in the south district on the surface, but secretly bought all the land in the north district that we fancy and even set us up.” The manager was very guilty and bowed to apologize.
“How many years have you been in the company?” Martin’s eyes were cold.
The manager was confused and hurriedly said, ‘Mr. Stowe, it’s been eight years…”
“Is the company treating you badly?”
“No…” The manager was already sweating from fear, and his body could not stop trembling.
“Since that is the case, why did you betray the Stowe family?” Martin’s cold gaze fell on his head.
“Mr. Stowe?” The manager didn’t expect the news to reach Martin so quickly. He originally wanted to go abroad and hide for a while after finishing this task…
“You are going to fly to France at eight o’clock tonight?” Martin threw the plane ticket in front of him. The manager was immediately frightened. It was over. Everything had been discovered!
Beside him, Rhys coldly said, “If the group’s conditions are very good and you have already made up your mind, as long as you hand in your resignation, the Stowe family will not stop you. But you betrayed us…”
The manager trembled even more violently. ‘Mr. Stowe, Mr. Jones, it’s all my fault… Please give me another chance!”
Rhys glanced at him and coldly added, “Actually, Mr. Stowe has long noticed your tricks! The land in the north district is not what we want. The real treasure is under the land in the south district… We took advantage of you to set them up.”
The manager was instantly stunned. He realized that he was done for, and his expression was extremely dejected.
*Exposing the group’s secrets has already been suspected of breaking the law.” As soon as Rhys finished speaking, two policemen came to the door and took the manager away for interrogation. ‘Now, who else wants to confess?” Martin looked at the crowd.
Paige finished a candlelight dinner and enjoyed a rare and pleasant family time…
Although Patricia was there and it affected her emotionally, she knew that Danica and Donald loved her from the bottom of their hearts.
This was also the first time since Paige was a child that she felt the warmth of the family.
“Paige, go take a shower first. There will be a surprise later!”
Chapter 130
After taking a shower, Paige went downstairs and saw fireworks blooming all over the sky. Danica smiled and said, “Paige, come here. Let’s take a photo together.”
The famous photographer and the whole team stood under the fireworks and waited.
Under the bright night sky, Donald and Danica looked kind and took Paige’s hand respectively. “We wanted to take a photo with you for a long time, but we haven’t had the chance. Now Patricia went out with her friends. We can take this opportunity to take a photo of us.”
Well, they could take a photo of the three of them.
After all, they were family.
“I am wearing pajamas…”
Before Paige finished her words, Donald and Danica laughed at the same time, “It doesn’t matter…”
All of them wore pajamas, and now they looked more like family.
It was a sweet picture.
“Okay, everyone gets closer.”
“Mr. Lusk, please adjust your collar. And Mrs. Lausk, lower your chin a little.
“Ms. Paige, give us a big smile, OK?”
Paige smiled, and the camera kept snapping
“Let’s change our positions.” Danica exchanged positions with Donald happily.
The fireworks in the night sky becatue their background. The two of them held Paige’s hand and smiled brightly.
Paige had never been so close to the love of her parents. They held her lovingly as if she was their most precious treasure.
“Okay, let’s go to another place.”
The photographer finished taking photos in the garden and went to the living room.
Paige was held tightly by them, and her heart seemed to have never been so warm.
After taking a dozen or so scenes, Danica still wanted to continue.
But Donald smiled and said, “Let Paige rest for a while. It has been a long time.”
“Mrs. Lusk, we’ve changed several places. There are thousands of photos.” The photographer was also worried that they were too tired. If that were the case, they wouldn’t get perfect photos anyway.
“In the future, when the five brothers come back, let’s take some more photos.” Donald lovingly gave Danica a massage. “Is there anyone? Bring some tea.”
A servant brought the lemon juice. Danica put a straw in the glass and took it to Paige. “Paige, have some water. Are you tired?”
Paige shook her head and took a sip. She actually felt it was a little sweet.
She felt sweet in her heart.
“How about having some snacks?” Donald brought a whole plate of snacks to Paige. “Do you like pink macarons? Or do you like pudding? Fruit tower? Biscuits? If you don’t like any of them, I will let people make something else.”
“Mom and dad, pick one.” Paige took the plate and handed it to them.
Donald and Danica were touched. They never ate dessert at night, but tonight they each took one.
photographer first sent all the electronic photos to Danica’s phone. Danica looked at them under the camera, satisfied and happy.
Every photo was perfect…
“Paige, come and see if there is anything you like. I can send it to you.”
Paige chose a biscuit. It was a perfect match for lemon juice. She glanced over it. “It’s all good.”
“Then I will send all of them to you.” After Danica finished sending them, she continued to look at them. “These photos are too good. Especially these few…”
Donald saw her set a photo as the phone background and said, “I want that too.”
After snack time, when Paige went back to her room, she saw her parents still looking at the photos on the sofa. The smiles on their faces showed their happiness.
The next day, after finishing breakfast, Paige was ready to go to work. But she found that Patricia’s face was very dark.
It should be that Patricia knew about the photos.
At this time, Patricia was somewhat resentful. She stared at Paige and desperately endured her anger. It seemed that there was a fîre in her eyes that could swallow Paige.
Paige glanced at her and then withdrew her gaze, getting Into Martin’s car.
“Last night, my friend got married, and I was her bridesmaid. When I came back, they finished taking photos and went to bed.”
She was so angry.
They actually didn’t wait for her.
They had set off so many fireworks and invited so many photographers. They went to sleep after taking the photos, not even considering her feelings.
Amily said worriedly, “Mr. Lusk and Mrs. Lusk don’t love you… Ms. Patricia, you have to hurry up. Listen to me, you can’t waste time anymore. Otherwise, you will be ignored by this family completely…”
“But”
“No buts.”
Hearing Amily’s words, Patricia bit her lower lip and made up her mind.
It was in Britain.
A private helicopter rolled up a strong wind and slowly landed on the top floor of a towering office building.
The tall, handsome, and cold man had just stepped onto the plane when Alonso Thornton quickly caught up to the top floor. “Mr. Lusk, wait. There is a problem with the project in the city center. Can you stay for a few more days?”
Hernan’s face was indifferent, and there was a cold vibe around him. When he heard this, his eyes froze.
Frank immediately said, “Mr. Lusk is in a hurry to go home to see his sister. Because of his work, he has been delayed for more than ten days. You and Trevor Kane follow up on this project. If there are any problems, report to Mr. Lusk.”
“Frank, you don’t know…”
Before Alonso finished speaking, he noticed that Frank’s eyes were on his right foot.
Only then did Alonso realize that one of his feet had already stepped onto the flight stairs.
He hurriedly took a step back and bowed respectfully. “Have a nice journey, Mr. Lusk. Take care, Frank.”
The helicopter took off and set off a gust of wind.
“Have you picked any gifts?” Hernan asked softly.
“Mr. Lusk, everything is ready,” Frank replied respectfully. “There are three sets in total. One is a limited-edition perfume set, one is limited-edition lipstick set, and the other is a limited-edition skincare set.”
Because he was not sure which one Hernan wanted to give to his sister, Frank had prepared everything he could think of.
No matter if it was perfume, lipstick, or skin care products, they were all what girls liked the most.
But Hernan said in a light and cold voice, “It’s not enough.”
Frank suddenly realized that these gifts were not good enough and hurriedly said, “It’s my fault. After getting off the plane, I will rearrange it.”
“Which brand is most favored by girls now?” Hernan asked lightly.
“Of course, it’s PQ Fashion,” Frank thought for a moment and said.
Three years ago, PQ Fashion appeared out of nowhere. Because its style was unique, and the clothes it produced were limited… Soon, it became famous in upper-class society and was sought after by many socialites and celebrities.
Then, PQ Fashion pushed out shoes, bags… And it shocked the entire fashion industry.
PQ Fashion’s designer, Paine, won many International awards and led the entire brand to become an International first-rate brand from the unknown.
It is said that PQ Fashion recently launched a new jewelry series. Every piece of jewelry is unique… Frank said this and showed the tablet computer in his hand to Hernan.
