full quickly understood her thoughts His intention was for his daughter to embarrass herself, so be stor a look at Sadie and said, "What's all the fuss about! Go back now"

Sadie felt a twinge of frustration After all, in the past, when Bill spoke like that, it was always directed at me not at her.

She felt even more indignant inside. Could it be that you, as the daughter of the Gardners, can't even play the violin? What a joke."

I gave a faint smile. "Actually, I don't know how to play the violin

Anna showed up today as well. I'm sure she's quietly observing every move I make

The last time I pushed myself beyond my limits and tried a new approach, it was challenging to shake off some old habits while playing the violin.

I wouldn't let her see through me, but I couldn't stand Sadie, this newcomer, stirring things up and causing

a scene in front of me.

She grinned. "Dad, look at Zoey. She doesn't have to do anything, just be a pretty face and marry someone. But I have to work so hard, and you still don't like me. It's not fair!" Even if no one dared to speak up now, once she placed that blame on me...

I worried that in the future, everyone would see Mrs. Bolton as insignificant. I couldn't seem to blend into the circle of ladies. I would just become a subject of gossip after tea.

Sadie's actions wouldn't benefit her in the long run because the Gardners' reputation was shared. In the past, Bill let her have her way, but now, in the new battlefield he made, her antics only served to hinder him. pulling him down without her realizing it.

At this moment, I feared that Bill might have already developed the intention to kill her.

I spoke earnestly, knowing that this wasn't a competition, and the guests present weren't foolish enough to make things difficult for me.

Bill and Philippa exchanged worried glances, I gave her a reassuring smile. "It's fine"

Then, I gently patted Carter's hand. "Shall we play together?"

I noticed a flicker of surprise in his eyes before he casually replied, "Sure."

With Damian's help, he sat down on the piano stool next to me.
