Chapter 49:
Before he could finish his sentence, the performance ended, and the crowd burst into applause.
The director of the concert hall stepped onto the stage, microphone in hand, his expression warm and
welcoming.
“Good evening, everyone. | have the honor of being the director here, and tonight, it’s my privilege to introduce
a very special guest, Daniela Harper, the owner of this venue. She's been an accomplished musician since
childhood, particularly with the cello. It's been many years since I've had the pleasure of hearing her play, and |
must ask—are we fortunate enough to hear her perform for us tonight?” His words echoed through the hall,
leaving the audience stunned into silence.
Those who had been distracted by their phones, making calls, or thinking about leaving suddenly stopped. Some
quickly tucked their phones away, while others cut off their conversations mid-sentence. A few even

Every person turned their attention to her, disbelief and curiosity written all over their faces.
Did Daniela own this concert hall? She could play the cello? Wasn't she just here for a quick appearance? What
else had she been keeping under wraps?
Even the young heirs, who had been dragged here by their families, settled in and looked at Daniela. Their
boredom gave way to curiosity. The sthought buzzed through everyone's mind. Could Daniela—the woman
everyone had written off as just a pretty face—actually play?
Keith arched an eyebrow at Alexander, a teasing smile creeping onto his face.
“Daniela can’t really play, right?”

“She can’t,” Alexander answered coolly, his voice steady but sure. He glanced at his watch and adjusted it with
careful precision.
“You know how these things go. Daniela’s in charge of Elite Lux now, and everyone wants to get on her good
side. She owns this concert hall, so it’s only natural that her people will be showering her with compliments.”
A hint of disdain flickered in his eyes. Playing the cello wasn’t something one could fake. Without at least ten
years of solid practice, what could she really be capable of? It would be a joke, plain and simple. This kind of
mindless flattery was totally out of place for the occasion.
Keith laughed, clearly entertained by everything happening around him. He wasn’t all that into the concert—he
just loved the spectacle.
Turning to Alexander, he asked, “Looks like everyone's kissing up to Daniela these days. What about you,
Alexander? Here to join in?”
Laughing, Keith slapped Alexander on the shoulder.
“What's it like? The girl who used to run after you is now the one you're after. Must sting a little, huh? But hey,
no judgment, man. We all do what we gotta do for money and power.”
Alexander's face went cold, his jaw clenched as he shook off Keith's hand. His already icy expression grew even
darker with Keith's blunt words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Daniela stepped onto the stage, Alexander's face stayed as cold as ever.
Most people assumed this would be a performance they'd have to sit through just out of politeness. There were
quiet whispers as Daniela walked gracefully toward the stage. She sat down in front of the cello, adjusting it with
care. After testing the strings quickly, she began to play, no flashy introduction, just starting in silence.
The first note sounded—rich and full—cutting through the soft murmurs in the room, instantly quieting everyone.
The crowd, which had just moments ago been filled with quiet doubt, now sat utterly silent. Every single eye was
locked on Daniela.
