Chapter 281: Tina's Little Puppy

The audience was already in a frenzy, captivated by Tina's piano performance. Willow couldn't utter a complete sentence; she had intended to assert her authority as Mrs. Reed, but all the attention was stolen by Tina. Sutcliffe, who had performed with her, stood up with a rare smile, "I never thought I would have the chance to play with you again..." He extended his hand to shake Tina's, but before he could touch her, Jared Farrell stepped in with a stern expression.

Jared Farrell's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding an aura of unapproachability. "Watch your behavior and don't offend my fiancée," he said, emphasizing the word "fiancée" heavily. Even the most oblivious person could sense the possessiveness in his tone.

Hayden Cohen watched this scene unfold and clicked his tongue twice. Mr. Farrell was jealous. Serena was indeed impressive.

Tina glanced at Jared Farrell and calmly explained, "He's my friend." Jared Farrell lowered his gaze without responding. He had heard this "friend" explanation before but always felt their relationship wasn't that simple.

Since this was the Reed family's event, Sutcliffe didn't want to overstay his welcome. Seeing Jared Farrell's firm stance, he nodded at Tina, "Let's catch up another time." With that, he turned and headed backstage, leaving Jared Farrell frowning and pondering the meaning of "catch up."

Tina's impromptu piano performance on stage drew everyone's attention and shifted focus away from the earlier commotion. The banquet continued, and many guests came to talk to her.

"Miss Reed, I never expected to hear Master Moonshine's performance in person. Your rendition of 'Hell and Paradise' was simply mesmerizing!" one guest exclaimed. "Here's my card; I wonder if I could invite you for a drink sometime?" Tina declined all invitations. She only wanted to show Willow that if she wanted to be her mother, she needed to measure her abilities first. She had no interest in listening to these people's flattery.

"Tina," Vivienne approached with a glass of champagne just as Tina was getting tired of dealing with them. "Hi, I'm Jared's cousin, Vivienne."

Tina looked up at her with a hint of curiosity in her clear eyes. Was it her imagination? She felt this person seemed familiar as if she had seen her somewhere before.
