Chapter 60
The following day, in Elise’s room at the Johansson residence, Lucille said, “Elise, after a lot of effort, I’ve managed to find our where Mr. Jovani Xinos is living now. Let’s get ready and go visit him.”
Elise hesitated. “Mom, we didn’t inform Mr. Jovani Xinos in advance. Will he be unhappy if we just show up like this?”
Lucille comforted her, “Don’t worry. If it were someone else, Mr Jovani Xinos might be unhappy, but it’s you, Elise. You’re the only one who has been praised by Mr. Jovani Xinos, and you’re also a renowned piano prodigy in Elstunda. When he sees you, he’ll be more than happy.”
Elise smiled sweetly at Lucille’s compliment and quickly went to prepare.
However, for some reason, she felt a little uneasy at the thought of Samantha playing the piano.
However, Elise had second thoughts. The incident of Samantha playing the piano had already been intentionally manipulated by Timothy for a long time and was overshadowed by other news.
In the end, there were not many people who could really remember Samantha.
Moreover, Jovani was known for leading a secluded life, so he probably hadn’t seen Samantha’s video yet.
Elise pushed her thoughts aside, dressed up beautifully, and happily headed out with Lucille.
As they made their way downstairs, Lucille deliberately greeted Alec. “Dad, I’m taking Elise to visit Mr. Jovani Xinos and discuss the date for her apprenticeship.”
Alec smiled with satisfaction and replied, “If Elise is accepted as a mentee by Mr. Jovani Xinos, it would definitely bring honor to the family. We may not lack wealth in the Johansson family, but we yearn for prestige. Elise, if you’re able to impress Mr. Xinos, I’ll spare no effort in supporting you.”
Lucille and Elise were very happy after hearing that.
It was as if Elise had been accepted as a mentee by Jovani, had won the favor of Alec, and the Johansson residence belonged to them.
With great anticipation, they got in the car.
An hour later, they arrived at Jovani’s mansion.
As expected, he had a quirky temperament and lived in seclusion halfway up the mountain.
After getting out of the car, they instructed the driver to wait aside and then went to ring the doorbell.
“Who is it?” An irritable old man’s voice was heard from inside the door.
Lucille hurriedly asked politely, “Is this the residence of Mr. Jovani Xinos?”
There was no response.
Lucille continued to shout, “Mr. Jovani Xinos, we have come here out of great respect and would like to explore piano skills with you.”
“Go away! Go back to where you came from!” The old man shouted in an even more irritable tone.
Lucille frowned and muttered in a low voice, “What a peculiar temperament. He doesn’t even bother to ask about our identities and just dismisses us like this. He doesn’t seem to care about offending people.”

Lucille clenched his bsts and muttered, “This Jovani. He really has a strange temperament.”
After all, he has been a prodigy since childhood and a prominent figure in Clusia. It’s normal for him to have some temperament, Elise said.
Laucille frowned. “But what should we do now? He won’t even let us in. Elise, didn’t you say that he praised you on the spot? Why doesn’t it work when we mention your name?”
Elise lowered her head and bit her lips without saying a word.
Jovani did praise her, but it was only with the words “not bad.”
However, although it was just not bad, it came from the mouth of Jovani, and that carried a different meaning.
Laucille anxiously paced back and forth. “What should we do now? When we left, we had already boasted to your grandpa, and today we came with the goal of being acknowledged by Jovani. But now, we didn’t even get to enter the door. I’m afraid your grandpa will think I’m useless and send me off to Xandenia
Lucille became more agitated as she spoke. She rubbed her hands together nervously.
“Mom, please stop pacing.” Elise said.
“Well, then why don’t you tell me what we should do? Your grandpa just gave us a chance, and if we mess it up, what will we gain? We’ve been serving him for so long in the Johansson family and have suffered so much over the years. We can’t let all our efforts go to waste. Laucille responded.
Elise kept her head down. She bit her lips as her mind continued to contemplate.
Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind
She raised her head and looked at Lucille who paced back and forth anxiously. Despite her well–maintained appearance over the years, she had grown a few strands of white hair.
Her mother. Lucille, came from a humble background. She was never favored by Alec, nor did Aunt Irene’s aunts hold her in high regard

Chapter 60
They never truly regarded her as part of the Johansson family
Ever since Elise was born, she knew that she and her mother lived a difficult life within the Johansson family, always having to be cautious.
That was why she had always worked hard, striving to excel in everything she did
She and her mother’s status in the jobsamson family Bally became secure ever since she achieved remarkable success in playing the plane.
This was because Alex valued the interests of the Johanson family above all else.
Even though star was his granddaughers, familial bonds were deed insignificant when compared to the prestige and benefits of the johansson family
Therefore, she, too, had always priorized interests
Only what hard firmly grasped as hors comes hunde was trudy.
