Chapter 227: The Concert Failed Before It Even Began

Willow felt a surge of joy. Despite his young age, Sutcliffe had achieved remarkable success in piano, rivaling her own fame and boasting even more fans. Many attendees were here specifically for him. Originally, she hadn't wanted Sutcliffe as a guest at this Ensford concert, fearing his fanbase would overshadow hers. But now, she hoped Sutcliffe might speak on her behalf and salvage the chaotic situation.

As Sutcliffe stepped out of the van, the first thing he saw was Tina being carried by Jared. He asked her expressionlessly, "Are you hurt?"

"Ms. Ward's daughter said my feet would dirty the concert stage," Tina replied nonchalantly. "I didn't dare to step on it."

Sutcliffe immediately frowned deeply. Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, he retracted his foot. "Then I won't step on it either." He turned and swiftly got back into the van, followed by his equally stoic manager without a word. The black van sped away so quickly that even Sutcliffe's fans didn't have time to react.

When they realized Sutcliffe was gone, they regretted not rushing forward for an autograph. On the stairs, Willow stood dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Sutcliffe to know Tina or to disregard her so blatantly after just a few words with Tina, leaving without even a farewell.

With her last card gone, Willow felt dizzy and her chest ached with anger. She could already foresee how reporters would write about this unprecedentedly failed concert: it hadn't even started, and two-thirds of the audience had left due to extreme fans!

Lily Ward watched Jared holding Tina from start to finish, watching him carry Tina down the steps and into the car. This man, handsome like a god, wouldn't spare her an extra glance but was exceedingly gentle with the girl in his arms. Why? What made Tina special? So what if Tina had two PhDs at sixteen? Now that she had quit her job at Ensford High School, she didn't even have a proper job! Wasting her youth recklessly-what made this unambitious waste worthy of Mr. Daryl's attention?

Lily Ward was furious but quickly calmed down. Today, jealousy had clouded her judgment, leading her to act so disgracefully-this wasn't like her at all. She shouldn't be competing with Tina over such trivial matters. She should show Mr. Daryl that she was the most outstanding woman in the world and the only one worthy of standing by his side. One day, she would ensure that his eyes saw only her!
