Chapter 33
At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause.
Others purposely recorded the video of Elise playing the piano and posted it online.
The caption read: [Live piano piece played by Mr. Jovani Xinos last mentee.]
It caused a big wave in a very short time.
It was spread very widely by everyone. It had directly declared that Elise had been accepted as the last mentee by Jovani. Everyone praised Elise, and the atmosphere was great.
Samantha sat in the corner, tasted her wine slowly, and felt that everything was great, except for the harsh–sounding piece she had heard just then.
However, the next minute, everyone’s eyes fell on Samantha, who was drinking her wine.
Elise had mentioned her.
The reason was that E

Elise said. “My sister, Samantha, is also very good at playing the piano. We have been learning to play the piano since we were young, and the teacher has even praised Samantha for her talent. This time, with her return to the Johansson family, she has shown many changes compared to before. I want to invite her to play a song for everyone. It is also to get everyone re–acquainted with her.
What Elise had said sounded very nice. She wanted to give Samantha a chance to show off so that Samantha could gain a good impression.
However, the premise was that Samantha could actually play the piano.
How could Samantha, who was bullied to that extent by Lucille and Elise, have learned to play the piano?
But now that Elise had given such high praises for Samantha and said the latter was extremely talented, who would suspect Samantha couldn’t play the piano?
After all, everyone believed that the socialite, Elise, was disdainful of lying publicly.
If that were actually Samantha standing there, she would have been ashamed of herself that day.
However, she was not Samantha.
She was Samantha
Samantha was a queen who never said she couldn’t do anything
“Well, does the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson family have stage fright? Or are you not willing to show some respect to us old ladies? Are you not going to come and play a song for us?”
“Ha! Maybe she’s afraid of getting embarrassed. After all, Elise has just played the piano and is great at it. She’s probably afraid that she will be compared to Elise and fall short.”
“It’s like she is not good at anything. When it comes to fighting, making trouble, and embarrassing herself, she is quite good
at them
“Pit… Someone started laughing.
They were all laughing at Samantha.

Chapter 33
Some people laughed at Samantha to join in on the fun, while others laughed so that they could flatter Elise for making fun
of Samantha.
In shor
except for the mysterious man in the corner, Francis and Simon sitting next to Samantha plus the two children. everyone else gazed at Samantha with contempt and mockery, wanting to enjoy a good show.
“I’ll take care of it,” said Francis as he stood up, his legs looking long and straight while he gave off a cold vibe.
Samantha also put down the wine glass, stood up, and flicked her hair. “That’s not necessary. I am not so weak that I’d need the protection of a man,” she scoffed.
After saying that. Samantha walked charmingly toward the center of the banquet hall with her long legs.
She looked gorgeous that day. Even if those people wanted to watch a show on Samantha’s behalf, their eyes, which were watching her, couldn’t help but be filled with a hint of amazement.
A long red mermaid dress outlined her curvy body, and it could be seen that she was well–endowed.
The skin on her chest was tanned and could only be seen vaguely. All of those things made the people’s imaginations runt
wild.
Her lips curled into a subtle smile.
Samantha looked like a vixen that only showed its presence on nights.
In particular, her assurance and placid demeanor caused others to rethink their initial impressions of her.
At the banquet, while everyone was waiting to watch a good show on Samantha’s behalf, she was still not humbled or afraid of anyone and took every step like a crowned queen walking toward her throne.
It made people feel unable to look away.
“This is who I am. No matter where I show up, I will become the focal point. I am not afraid of anyone’s criticism and will live my life fearlessly, doing whatever I want to do,” Samantha mused.
Samantha walked toward the piano and smirked. “Do you want to hear me play the piano?”
It felt as if she was asking, “Do you want me to drink your blood??
Her momentum was too strong. Many who had been aggressive toward her just then daretl not speak out.
Timothy, who happened to be a big fan of Elise, said, “That’s right. You almost messed up Elise’s birthday banquet today. You should play a song to make it up to her.
“That’s not it,” explained Elise. “Mr. Timothy Xanders, please don’t say that about Samantha. She doesn’t need to apologize to me. It has not been easy for Samantha taking care of her child alone. She has also suffered a lot outside these years Have hopes that after you hear her play a piece of music for everyone today, you will forget everything that has happened before and stop looking at the rumors spreading online. Samantha is still the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson family”
“What? How can an unmarried pregnant woman deserve the title of the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson family? A socialite like Elise, who is excellent, both in conduct and learning, deserves to be the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson Jamily said someone.
“Yes, Since she was kicked out of the Johansson family six years ago, who said she is still the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson family? She shouldn’t have come back to steal Elise’s position, commented another person.
“Well, she wants to play the piano, but I don’t think I want to hen that anymore!” sneered someone.
“I feel the same. I will feel like I’m destroying my cars if I listen to Samantha play!” said another.

Chapter 33
Elise silently hinted at Kaylin with her eyes.
Kaylin made an “okay” gesture with her hand and then turned on the camera on her phone. She stood in the perfect place
and clicked to turn on the live stream.
She was an internet celebrity and had become quite famous online.
Tens of thousands of people would watch her no matter what she posted.
As long as tens of thousands of people saw Samantha play the pitmo that day, and it was so terrible that it could become a class of its own, combined with the public’s opinion of her on the internet then, Kaylin was sure that Samantha would most probably be kicked out of the Johansson residence again that night.
As expected, Kaylin had just clicked on the live stream, and someone was already commenting and directing everyone’s attention to Samantha’s identity.
Then, they all started scolding Samantha.
[Damn it! Where is Kaylin? I don’t want to see this disgusting woman!]
[This woman has done so many wrong things and has lost all her conscience! How dare she show her face on the internet? I can’t believe she is not worried about being lobbed with rotten eggs in the future!]
[Someone like her wants to play the piano? Why won’t she look in the mirror and see what kind of halfwit she is?]
[Why does Samantha need to compete in everything with Eliser Elise has just played the piano, and everyone has praised her online. Hence, Samantha couldn’t stand it. Does she want to steal Elise’s limelight now?]
[Why doesn’t she go and take a look at what kind of trash she is? Does she even know how to play the piano? I hope she doesn’t start playing “Mary Had a Little Lamb.I
[Let’s sit and wait for her to embarrass herself!]
In a corner, Simon stood beside Francis and looked at Samantha worriedly.
“Francis, why don’t you go and help her out? What if she starts playing ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb?” asked Simon.
Francis stared at Simon sullenly and said, “It seems like your skin has become too thick. It will be summer soon. I’m sure Mrs. Gurray will be glad to help you thin your skin slightly.”
Simon was speechless. “So, Samantha has become ‘Mrs. Gurray now? No wonder… It looks like they have already hooked up with each other. Then, why are the two of them pretending in front of me? I’m so angry!”
Facing everyone’s questioning, Samantha smirked and said, “All right. Then, I’ll play a song to remind you that the eldest granddaughter of the Johansson family is still me, Samantha.”
She spoke with great confidence, and everyone immediately held their breaths.
Somehow, they began to look forward to it.
Samantha sat in front of the piano and pushed her long hair behind her back. She stroked the piano keys with her slender and long fingers and closed her eyes for a while.
Just when all kinds of whispers started up, and people suspected that she couldn’t do it, leading to Samantha getting embarrassed and leaving the stage, her fingers suddenly pressed down on the keys, and a mesmerizing sound poured out from the piano.
The entire banquet suddenly went quiet,

“What kind of music is this? They had never heard of it before.

Neither those who had learned piano nor those who knew nothing about it at all had ever heard of that piece of music
before.
However, that didn’t affect the piano music flowing from Samantha’s keys to resonate with the crowd.
At first, they felt like they had been transported to an idyllic orchard. The birds were twittering, and the flowers were fragrant, which made them very happy.
Just when everyone’s body, down to the last bone, was relaxed… Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder!
It was like they had been submerged by floods, covered by heavy snow and mud that suffocated them.
It was uncomfortable! They felt desperately suffocated! It felt like they couldn’t save themselves, no matter what!
But they wanted to live.
They swam in the water desperately.
Finally, they could see a wood floating and the sun rising slowly in the distance.
And, then, the music stopped abruptly.
