Of course Shane would never admit he was someone with ill intent. Forcing a stiff smile, he said, “I didn’t see
anything, just felt as if the music broughtinto the
scene.”
“Exactly! Ms. Rivers’ playing was so vivid, it felt like we were right there!” The guests immediately began
praising Sloane's skills.
Sloane smiled faintly at the crowd but did not expose them. She only said lightly, “I'm flattered. It’s just a small
thing | picked up during my leisure time.”
Standing in the crowd, Samantha listened to everyone fawning over Sloane. Her nails dug deep into her palms as
jealousy consumed her. She had wanted to humiliate Sloane, but instead, she had helped her steal all the
limelight.
Forcing down her rage, Samantha put on a sincere-looking smile and walked forward. “Sloane, | had no idea you
were so talented at music! Were you afraid I'd compete with you, so you hid it from me?”
She was implying that Sloane had deliberately kept her skills hidden to guard against her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSloane shrugged innocently. “You should ask yourself that. We live under the sroof, yet you never noticed. It
seems you didn’t care much aboutas a sister.”
“I...” Samantha had not expected Sloane, who once had the sharpness of a paper doll, to becso cutting-
tongued. She was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Enough!” Marshall roared, turning to scold Sloane. “Sloane, you are utterly lacking in decorum! Today is your
and Samantha's birthday banquet, a joyous occasion. How could you play such a disruptive piece and cause this
mess? Look what you've done to the hall!”
Sloane raised her chin slightly, her gaze cool. “I never intended to perform. It was your precious daughter who
insisted.”
“You wretched child!” Furious at being contradicted, Marshall raised his hand, ready to slap her.
“Mr. Marshall!” A cold voice interrupted him mid-swing.

Everyone turned to look. It was Lucas, standing at the second-floor railing with two companions, staring icily at
Marshall's raised hand.
Marshall felt a chill spread across his skin. He hastily lowered his hand and plastered a flattering smile on his
face. “Mr. Hawthorne, when did you arrive? If only you'd sent word ahead, | would've welcomed you personally.”
The speed of his change in attitude was shocking.
But Lucas ignored Marshall's fawning. He descended the stairs slowly, every step heavy with a stifling pressure.
He walked straight to Sloane, glanced down at her hand, and said in a low voice, “You were so focused you didn’t
even notice you hurt your hand.”
Sloane looked at her fingertips and realized faint red marks had appeared where the strings had dug into her
skin. She smiled casually. “It’s been a while since | played. I'm a bit out of practice.”
Without a word, Lucas gently took her wrist. “Cupstairs and apply smedicine.”
He led her away, not sparing Marshall a single glance.
