The Richest Man in Metropolis is My Backer by Dream Searcher

Chapter 236

It was 5:00 p.m., and 1 finally had a moment to check the message Jean had sent me.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a video of Soleil. She and her musicians were flash–busking on the streets of Berrada–first playing lively fiddles on a violin before sitting down to perform the harp with flawless elegance.

I was stunned—she transitioned so effortlessly from the folksy, merry playfulness of the violin to the refined, evocative, almost heavenly bliss of the harp. But one of the reasons it worked so well was the dress I made for her.

Yes, the fusion dress blending Rococo and modern elements perfectly suited her performances. Crowds gathered around, drawn not only by her musical talent but also by the dress.

The video had gone viral. Compliments flooded every comment section, regardless of the platform. People praised Soleil and her dress in equal measure.

I had already watched the video at least five times, and each time, I became more and more moved.

Without thinking, I immediately forwarded it to Soren. Pride swelled inside me.

Me: [Oh my God, Sol is amazing! Look at how the crowd reacted to her performance! She’s going global!]

Soren replied almost instantly.
