agence fully walked to the plans and stood beside it. The red gown accentuated her unparalleled beauty.
Also everyone’s eyes were on her
Everyone thought that she was beautiful beyenil imagination, ler a fairy
However, at that time, Samantha narrowed her eyes and cast a sharp, menacing gaze directly at Elise
“Did you ever ask for my permission before stealing my video!”
Samantha’s tone was laced with a chilling coldness, brimming with murderous intent.
Heaning that Elise trembled with fear.
Whispered conversations from the crowd around her kept reaching her ears.
can’t believe it. The renowned piano prodigy of Elstunda is actually stealing her own sister’s viden.
“And it is even the rumored halfwit, good–for–nothing sister, the one who was kicked out of the Johansson family…”
The Johansson family truly has no discernment. They fail to appreciate the true piano genius and instead support a thief!”
Today’s mentorship banquet is a complete joke.”
Let’s see how the johansson family will settle this!”
“Why is no one curious about the scion of the Gurray family? Why did Francis stand up for Samantha?*
At the same time, Elise’s face turned pale. Numerous thoughts crossed her mind.
If things continued as they were, she might be the one thrown out of the Johansson family.
Everything she once possessed would be handed over to Samantha
Elise’s eyes turned red. She pinched her palm and glared at Samantha.
“The composition was originally mine! You’re the one who stole it!”
As she spoke, Elise suddenly burst into tears.
“Samantha, last time at my birthday banquet, I gave you a chance to reintroduce yourself to everyone. I didn’t even confront you when you played my composition. Why are you turning the tables and trying to ruin my mentorship banquet today? What is your true intention?”
It was a tearful and heartfelt accusation that made everyone feel sorry for her.
What was even more absurd was that someone on the scene acuaally believed her nonsense.
The first one to do so was her father, Darius.
The next moment. Darius walked over and stood protectively by Elise’s side.
“Samantha, if you apologize to Elise now, we’ll let it go.”
What he meant was that, regardless of the facts, Samantha should apologize to Elise, accepting responsibility for Elise’s misdeeds

Haha Samantha chuckled and flicked her hair.
“I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen one as shameless as your”
Every word Samantha spat out was full of coldness and hostility
“Stealing my piano video and then accusing me of thefl, and nok my own father asks me to apologize without considering the truth! I am curious. What will the Johansson family do to i I refuse to apologize today?”
“You fool“” Alec slammed his walking stick against the ground, stone solemnt.
He suspected that there were hidden motives behind the incident.
However, that day was Elise’s mentorship banquet.
He needed to find a way to calm down and resolve the matter in front of Elstunda’s high society and even reporters.
After all, the Johansson family’s interests were at stake.
Alec walked to Samantha and said sternly, “Samantha, apologize to Elise first! We can discuss the matter later!”
Implicitly, he was asking her to take the blame with the understanding that she would be compensated later on.
However, Francis stood directly in front of Samantha, blocking Alec’s line of sight toward her.
Subsequently, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
“Mr. Alec Johansson, Samantha said that she won’t apologize, and she has no obligation to do so. No one can force her. Moreover, it was Elise who stole her piano video. Can’t you people in the Johansson family understand that?”
With a heightened tone, Francis exuded a menacing aura.
was as if he were Hades himself.
It was as
In an instant, the atmosphere in the banquet hall becanie extremely tense and heavy.
Everyone held their breath and didn’t even dare to make a sound
It felt as if anyone who got involved might be consigned to eternal damnation.
After all, it was no longer just a matter involving the Johansson family, but also the prestigious Gurray family.
Although the Johansson family was defending Elise, the scion of the Gurray family, Francis, clearly showed his intention to support Samantha..
Alec looked slightly awkward and said, “Francis, this is our family’s business. You, as an outsider, should not meddle in it.”
“Haha.” Francis sneered. “I may be an outsider; so be it. But what about Mr. Jovani Xinos, who was deceived by all of your
At that instant, Jovani had an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face.
He frowned and said. “Elise Johansson, I have only seen Samantha play this piece, and she played it flawlessly! If you can play it now, then we can discuss it further. But if you can’t, it only proves that this composition is indeed the work of Samantha!”
By calling Elise’s full name, it was evident that he was leaning more toward Samantha’s side.
After all, Samantha’s performance was filled with genuine and undeniable emotions. There would be no way to achieve such a harmonious and moving integration of every emotion and every note if she had not personally composed it

On the contrary, Elise’s earlier piano performance was all about showmanship and technical display, with no depth of emotional connection.
In fact, Jovani had always despised those who emphasized showmanship over true musical depth
The most sacred aspect of piano music was the incorporation of emotions.
In terms of emotional depth and connection, Samantha’s performance clearly outperformed his.
The more Jovani reflected on it, the more he regretted it.
He couldn’t believe he had been totally fooled
He had nearly missed recognizing a true piano prodigy.
Elise pinched her hand and tried to retort, “My original composition wasn’t like this. It was Samantha who made alterations to my original piece.”
“Then just play your original composition and stop wasting time, Samantha riposted impatiently, rubbing her temple with
frustration.
If Elise kept wasting time, she would have no choice but to make a move.
Before Elise could even try to defend herself, Francis spoke up first.
“Ms Elise Johansson, go ahead.”
After saying that, Francis took a step back immediately.
His step back put Elise in a position where she had no choice but to confront the situation head–on.
Elise bit her lips and sat on the piano stool.
Since she had previously practiced the composition, she might as well play it as is.
After all, no one could definitively determine the true origin of the composition as long as she played something similar. Moreover, there was no manuscript to prove otherwise.
She closed her eyes, and her fingers began to dance across the piano keys.
Suddenly, Jovani cut her off by saying. “You can stop now.
Hearing that, Elise stopped playing the piano abruptly
“Today, as Jovani Xinos, I am here to guarantee, with the honor of my lifetime, that this piece of music was composed by Samantha,” Jovani stated emphatically.
Everyone was in an uproar after hearing that.
Although they could not tell anything just by listening for a short time, the fact that the highly regarded Jovani had spoken in such a manner, even offering his own guarantee, made it highly unlikely that the matter was false.
“Why?” Elise looked at Jovani in disbelief. “Mr. Xinos, why would you rather believe an outsider than me?”
She bit her lips and shook her head. Then she suddenly pointed to Francis and said, “Did the Gurray family promise to offer you something in return? Mr. Xinos! What do you want? Whatever the Gurray family can offer, we, the Johansson family.
offer as well!”
“Enough!” Jovani shouted. “I’m done with a mentee like you! It’s the biggest shame of my life!”

Next, Jovani looked at everyone and declared, “Today’s mentorship banquet is hereby canceled! I. Jovani Xinos, will not put up with a mentee who has evil intentions and shows no remorsel Do not blame me for turning my back on anyone who mentions the name Elise Johansson in front of me again!”
The whole room was in an uproar again.
Not only did he not acknowledge Elise as his mentee, but he also treated her like an enemy.
Elise kept crying. “Mr. Xinos, you can’t do this to me. You can’t…”
Seeing the pitiful and almost deranged look on Elise’s face, Samantha suddenly smirked.
Then, as she approached the piano, she said to Elise, “Allow me to demonstrate with my skills what it truly means to play the piano.”
