Willow Grant heard that Susan Stone was already on her way, and her heart instantly blood with joy.
"Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll definitely perform well!" Willow Grant suppressed her happiness and promised.
"Good child, ’Rebirth’ is extrely difficult to play. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just play normally. Even if there are so minor mistakes, it’s no big deal. The most important thing is to maintain a good mindset and complete the performance, no matter what happens."
"I understand, Auntie. Don’t worry, my mindset is excellent."
"That’s good to hear. I’ll stop chatting now, see you in a bit."
"See you in a bit." Willow Grant hung up with a sweet smile.
She took a deep breath, her spirits high, and returned to the classroom with a smile.
Looking again at Sumr Monroe, still surrounded by classmates, Willow Grant didn’t feel so annoyed anymore.
Whether these classmates liked her or not didn’t matter. What truly mattered was that Susan Stone liked her.
Now that she’s won over Susan Stone, could Damian Knight be far behind?
The children of elite families can never defy the commands of their families.
...
The evening sky was filled with vibrant hues.
In the prep class, Sumr Monroe had just finished explaining a problem to a classmate when a commotion was heard outside.
Then a student rushed in excitedly, saying, "Everyone, co quickly, a ’lody’ is being brought into the school!"
Finn Ford, naturally inclined to join in on the excitent, stood up abruptly and was about to join before stopping and asking Ronan Kingston, "What’s a lody?"
A rare flicker of emotion appeared on Ronan Kingston’s usually calm face.
He explained, "’lody’ is the na of a piano, of which only two exist in the world. If the piano is the king of instrunts, then ’lody’ is the king of pianos."
Upon hearing it was a piano, Finn Ford’s interest quickly faded.
Just a piano, what’s so special about that?
But in the next instant, when he heard Ronan Kingston say, "The price of this piano is worth two houses in Downtown Crestfall,"
Finn Ford’s eyes widened in shock before he vanished to go and see the "two houses in Crestfall."
Ronan Kingston hesitated for a mont, then walked over to Sumr Monroe to ask, "Want to go check it out together?"
"Sure." Sumr Monroe nodded.
There are only two lodies worldwide, and the other one is housed in the Britton University museum. She had special permission from the principal to play it once, and the sound quality was indeed exceptional.
It’s a pity, though, that it was only that once.
To think she’d see another lody at Crestfall University, perhaps it was fate.
Sumr Monroe stood up and walked outside with Ronan Kingston, only to see Willow Grant also erging, casting a glance at her intentionally or otherwise.
Sumr Monroe looked back puzzled, only to see Willow Grant scoff disdainfully, brushing past her shoulder to walk ahead.
At the school gate, several bodyguards were carefully unloading the ’lody’ from a truck.
The school spread the news quickly, even before the piano was unloaded, the entrance was already packed with people.
Sumr Monroe was pulled onto the flowerbed by Finn Ford to catch a full view of the lody.
The piano’s pure black surface had a subtle luster, and the legs of the piano were designed with inspiration from figures in Ancient Greece Mythology, exquisitely carved, inciting a sense of awe.
"Truly worthy of being lody."
Seeing lody again, Sumr Monroe couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
"Mrs. Stone!" A sweet voice suddenly called out, drawing the crowd’s attention in its direction.
