A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 496

Vinson went after Steven, and when he was about a foot and a half from him, he stretched out his hand and introduced himself, “I’m Vinson Nightshire, Mr. Parker. I’ve long admired you.”

Steven widened his eyes and, in open-mouthed wonder, asked, “Not the Vinson Nightshire, who composed Clouds?

Vinson nodded slightly and said, “That’s me.”

Vinson had had an exclusive education. He was a bit of a jack of all trades and had dabbled in piano and composing.

A few years ago, he wrote a piece for piano called Clouds, which won an international award, but he gave up music after that and concentrated whole heartedly on business.

Steven and the two other men immediately viewed Vinson in a different light.

“Mr. Nightshire, I’m very pleased to meet you. I replace Clouds very ethereal. I have the greatest admiration for you!” Steven shook Vinson’s hand and asked, “Do you have plans to make a come-back to the music world?:

Vinson shook his head and replied, “That was but a hobby. I don’t have much interest or time for composing now, but I would like to ask a favor.”

“Let’s hear it,” answered Steven politely, but was

careful to add, “as long as it is not to ask me to accept the previous performer as my student.”

Susanne happened to be passing by. Her face darkened at what she had heard, and she returned to her seat.

She began to wonder about her choice.

Perhaps, Wendy is not so suitable for my son, after all.

Meanwhile, Vinson boldly made his request.

“Can I ask you to stay for a few more minutes to listen to my friend’s performance? I will reimburse your air tickets and expenses.”

Steven asked hesitatingly, “Your friend is performing? I hope her standard is not similar to the one just now.”

Vinson shook his head and said, “To be honest, I don’t know. I’ve never heard her play. All I can say is that she has never disappointed me in anything.”

The three men looked at one another,

In the end, it was Steven’s approval of Clouds that swung it. He nodded and said, “Okay, it’s just a few more minutes.”

“Thank you very much,” replied Vinson happily.

Vinson’s rationale was simple. If the guy that Arielle was looking for was no longer at Jadeborough University, then an endorsement by these three well

known pianists would equally put her name on the international scene.

Once that happened, it did not matter where that guy was. He would no longer be able to deny Arielle’s existence.

Arielle was right; it was too difficult to replace a needle in a haystack. It’s easier to get that person to come looking for her.

Marcus was surprised to see the return of Steven and his friends.

As the principal, Marcus had been humiliated and embarrassed by what had happened earlier.

Steven’s return to see the next performance is just asking for more trouble. His critique of Wendy’s performance was very harsh and dismissive when we all thought that she had played well. What will he think of Arielle who had never come for the rehearsal? Moreover, she’s only a player from the provinces. I don’t mean to look down on these players, but good pianists need heavy financial investments.

Marcus broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

He did not want a repeat of what had happened just now. He made up his mind to quietly slip away from the hall while no one was watching.
