Courtney was so furious that she felt a headache.

“Do you really think you’re more suited to be with Andrew than I am? I suggest you break up with him.

I’m the only one who should marry him.

Madisyn gave Courtney a thorough look.

She hadn’t expected that Courtney, who once feigned innocence and elegance, would so openly reveal her true, greedy intentions.

“You?” Madisyn looked at her skeptically and said, “And you think you’re worthy?”

“I excel in every way! What about you?” Courtney’s voice grew louder.

“I’m more attractive and more intelligent than you.

I won’t embarrass myself Like you do…” Madisyn stood and moved closer, saying, “Isn’t that enough?”

“You… Those things don’t matter.

” Courtney clenched her teeth.

“Courtney, Madisyn.

” Tatiana’s voice broke in as she approached with a smile, saying, “There you both are.

The organizers have brought in a piano.

Who wants to play a piece?”

Courtney’s eyes sparkled.

“My cousin! Madisyn.

She’s immensely talented, beautiful, and artistically gifted.

Everyone knows she’s now Hutton’s student, right? She’s skilled in so many things!”

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

Tatiana gasped, covering her mouth.

“Really? Madisyn, you’re incredible!”

Madisyn crossed her arms and watched them intently.

Courtney continued, “Yes, Madisyn.

Please, play for us!”

Their exchange caught the attention of everyone around them.

They all thought Madisyn must have been exceptional to earn the guidance from Hutton.

Besides, everyone knew she was with Andrew.

“It would be an honor to hear Miss Johns play a piece.

It will surely make my day brighter,” someone said.

“Miss Johns, no need to be shy.

Go ahead.

Everyone gathered around Madisyn.

Courtney’s mood lifted, and her spirits brightened as she watched Madisyn.

Madisyn was skilled in painting and assessing antiques.

It seemed unlikely she knew how to play the piano.

Besides, her fingers were slender and fine, not the robust type usually seen in pianists, who often have well-worn joints from frequent practice.

“If you don’t want to play, then don’t,” Andrew said as he came over and put his arm around Madisyn.

Many looked at them with envy.

Previously, Andrew had shown little interest in women!

Who would have guessed he would change so much?

“Thanks to Miss Johns, we get to see a softer side of Mr.

Klein,” someone quipped, laughing.

“Mr.

Klein is right.

If Miss Johns feels like playing, she will.

If not, then let it be.

I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity to hear her play a piece.

The guests were offering Madisyn an opportunity to gracefully decline, but Courtney wasn’t ready to drop the issue.

“Madisyn is incredibly talented.

She seems hesitant today, so how about I play first to give her some time to get ready?” Courtney proposed, flashing a warm smile.

“That sounds wonderful,” Tatiana replied, her eyes sparkling.

“It’s been too long since we last heard you play, Courtney.

I’ve really missed it!”
