"Aster, go find out what happened earlier," Violeta instructed.

"Okay, I'll check right away."

Aster left the room to investigate while Violeta's makeup artist came in to help her remove her makeup.

When the makeup and hair were done, Aster returned with the information.

"Ms. White, they said it was a problem with the sound system wiring."

"That coincidental?" Violeta raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I thought so too. Oh, by the way, when I was asking around, I saw Mr. Weekley."

"Forget it. It's time to go. We'll find a time to invite Jasper for dinner as a thank you," Violeta said, letting it go for now.

"Got it."
