Chapter 878: A Lesson in True Talent

Two servants carefully carried a harp onto the stage, placing it gently.

The harp was jet-black, made from ebony, with a slightly raised dragonhead at its top. Its mouth was slightly open, and intricate carvings adorned the back, including engraved text. From a distance, it seemed ordinary. Natalie's eyes lit up as she stepped forward, running her fingers across the harp. "This one!" she declared.

River Swanson cast a sidelong glance, a flicker of disdain crossing her eyes. Of course, Leo wouldn't care for someone like Natalie-he'd provided such a plain instrument. River spoke coolly, "Shall I go first, or will Miss Whittaker?" Natalie raised an eyebrow indifferently. "Up to you."

River smiled faintly. "Then I'll go first and set the stage for you."

Her mind brimmed with contempt. Coward. Brave enough to agree, but when it comes to the real stage, too scared to step up. Fine. Let her try to play after witnessing me.

River gracefully took her seat at the crystal grand piano. Her white, handcrafted embroidered gown flowed elegantly, and her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, highlighting her fair complexion. She exuded refined elegance. The livestream audience erupted instantly.

"Wow, she's stunning! Even through the screen, she looks better than most celebrities!"

"That piano is blindingly beautiful. Classic display of wealth!"

"River Swanson is too perfect-talented in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Ordinary people don't stand a chance!"

"She's living the dream life!"

"From today, I'm her number one fan. Such beauty!"

"A true lady of high society!"

"I'm voting for River. Her looks alone have me sold!"

River's slender fingers danced across the shimmering keys of the crystal piano. The music flowed like a gentle stream, soothing and melodious, or like soft rain, calming the heart.

Her mastery of the keys was impeccable. Not a single note was out of place, even on the transparent piano.

As the piece ended, she rose gracefully and bowed to the audience.

Thunderous applause followed. Many praised her performance, comparing her to esteemed pianists.
