Chapter 267

As soon as Esther uttered those words, the room erupted in chatter, and curiosity thickened the atmosphere.

“Who would have guessed Ms. Evans could play the piano? She certainly doesn’t strike me as a country bumpkin

“Now, hold your horses. Being able to play is one thing: playing well is quite another?

“I believe if Ms. Evans has the courage to perform, she must be quite confident in her abilities”

Surrounded by these mixed opinions, Olive furrowed her brows deeply. Edward and Quinita’s expressions turned grave, but Fabian and his brothers seemed far from worried; in fact, they were somewhat excited.

“Judging by your faces, are you all convinced that Elysia will emerge victorious? Yehoshua inquired in a hushed tone.

“Don’t worry, she’s got this.” Javier grinned. They had witnessed Elysia’s performances firsthand, and with her piano prowess, managing this small event would pose no challenge whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, Yehoshua finally felt reassured. Since both Fabian and Javier had given their seal of approval, it must indeed be alright.

Fabian and the others had personally experienced Elysia’s cello mastery, but Olive and Edward remained unaware of her

Olive’s face darkened further, and she turned her gaze towards Jim, who was nearby. “Look at the daughter you’ve raised! Isn’t her behavior already shameful enough?”

He approached Olive, but his first words were not directed at Esther. Instead, he addressed Olive, “Mom, I understand your feelings towards Elysia. She grew up in humble beginnings and went through a lot. I have no objections
