âIs this Miss Evansâs performance?â
âOh my God! She can actually play such a masterpiece. It seems that her earlier performance was just to set the atmosphere.â
In the violin notes, people heard a mixture of sadness and tragic heroism, which then turned cheerful, like the peace and prosperity of the current era.
If Zara Woodsâs piece was a cheerful and light tune, then Xaviera Evansâs piece was a magnificent sound that contained the noble sentiments of family and country. Though no lyrics, it still conveyed deep emotions.
As the last note fell, Xaviera lowered her arm, slightly bowed, her eyes cold.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to break the silence.
Immersed in the music, the crowd went with Xaviera to see the rivers and mountains, the war, and together witnessed the peaceful era now.
After a while, people began to recover, only to realize that the music had long ended. Yet they still couldnât calm down, as if they had just attended a grand concert.
Thunderous applause followed, as people excitedly praised, âI didnât even realize the music had ended, I was so immersed in it. Miss Evansâs performance is just amazing!â
Sir Jaak also stood up, his face flushed with excitement, clapping, âAlthough I have never heard this piece, I know that whoever created it must be a genius. Miss Evans can play such a difficult piece without a single mistake; itâs really amazing!â
After Sir Jaak had spoken, a round of applause erupted again.
Xaviera glanced around with a calm expression, her gaze falling on Zara Woods and Maxwell Martin as she casually asked, âMiss Woods, Mr. Martin, now that my performance is over, do you think I have the ability to dispel the rumor that I am ignorant and incompetent?â
Zara Woods choked, biting her lip.
Maxwell Martinâs face turned red and white, and after a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, âMiss Evansâs performance is indeed excellentâŠâ
âSince Mr. Martin thinks itâs good, then I must be qualified to compete with the champion, right? Dispel the rumor that I am incompetent.â
Xenia Jaak applauded again, âMiss Evans, you havenât played the violin for three years, which means you were even better back then. You were so amazing back then, if Mr. Martin still criticizes you, it only means his standards are too high.â
Someone echoed, âI think Miss Evansâs level is better than Miss Woods! No wonder she is Xavier Hamerâs sister!â
âWho were the ones spreading the rumor? Saying Miss Evans is ignorant and incompetent? What does that make Zara Woods?â
âWho spread these rumors? We didnât hear any before the banquet. Wasnât it Zara Woods who started them? It seems she just wanted to step on Miss Evans, and she didnât expect Miss Evans to be so much better.â
Zara Woodsâs pupils suddenly contracted, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Xaviera looked at Zara Woods and said nonchalantly, âDidnât Miss Woods just say that my performance is very ordinary?â
The crowd looked at Zara Woods angrily. She had indeed said that, but everyone thought that Xaviera was still performing and couldnât hear it. They didnât expect that she had actually heard it.
Stuttering, Zara Woods said, âI, IâŠâ
As if suddenly recalling something, she looked up at Caleb Mamet and smiled confidently, âI didnât say it. ItâŠit was Caleb who said it. He said your performance was ordinary, so⊠â
âI see, Caleb said that my performance was ordinary?â Xaviera pondered.
Everyone was on edge, sweating cold beads of sweat. Xaviera dared to call Mr. Caleb Mamet by his name directly?
Xaviera frowned, âCaleb, did you say that my performance was ordinary?â
Everyone held their breath, their hearts racing as they watched the scene. Perhaps in the next second, Caleb would explode, and they hoped they wouldnât be caught in the aftermath.
Zara Woods was taken aback. She didnât expect Xaviera to confront Caleb in front of everyone.
Given Calebâs temperament, he would certainly ignore Xaviera, at least leaving her with some dignity.
In fact, Xaviera was not suitable to be Mrs. Mamet at all because she didnât understand Caleb and had no right to be his woman!
