Chapter 809 You Fool
At this moment, Johnny walked over and whispered to Alexander, “Mr. Griffith, do we still proceedwith destroying that shipment as per our initial plan?”
In fact, Smith Co. had planned to unload a shipment at this port, but they had changed the locationat the last minute after Narissa tipped them off. However, this shipment didn't belong to Smith Co.,and the reason they took the shipment was to stop it from entering the market.
“Yes.” Alexander answered as he stared coldly in the direction where Narissa left.
Meanwhile, just as Narissa was about to catch up to Jayden, she suddenly received a call from Jamie.She stopped and answered the phone. “What do you want?”
“I heard that your target this time round is Alexander, is it?” he questioned her.
“Yes,” she answered truthfully.
“Don't you think that you've gone overboard? Do you think that Boss will be happy about this?” Hecouldn't hide his disappointment.
“So, what are you getting at?” She sounded like she didn't care.
"Are you determined to follow in Jayden's footsteps and become a reporter?” he asked.
Hearing that, she raised her gaze and looked at Jayden's back as she hesitated, but she eventuallyreplied firmly, “Yes.”
“Fine, 1 have no comments if that's the case. I hope that both of you will be happy together!” Heended the call right after.
As Narissa stood where she was, she stared at the remarks on her phone screen and mumbled, “Youfool...”
Soon, the day of the concert had finally come. For the sake of Adelpha’s future, the White Familyspent a fortune to purchase VIP seats so that they could meet the legendary maestro and ask him totake Adelpha as his protege after the concert ended. However, Adelpha left her seat halfwaythrough the performance.
Firstly, she went to the washroom as she tried to conceal her trail. Following that, along the waytoward the third floor, she purposely avoided areas with surveillance cameras. Once she was on thethird floor, she stopped near the spiral staircase and took her phone out to make a call to Elise.Elise answered the call instantly, but she spoke before Adelpha. "Adelpha, I'll be waiting for you inthe recital room on the fourth floor.” The call ended before Adelpha could say anything
"What the heck? Is she commanding me?” Adelpha was annoyed.
However, after giving it some thought, she realized that the fourth floor and the third floor werenear each other, so it wouldn't be hard to get Anastasia to the third floor. With that, she calmedherself down and walked up the stairs. Within the large hall, all the other rooms were used aswaiting rooms except for the recital room. The orchestra members would normally have rehearsalsin the waiting rooms, which was why there weren't many recital rooms within the hall.
After entering three of the recital rooms, she didn't see Elise there and finally lost her patience uponentering the fourth. She stood by the piano as she was preparing to make a phone call to Elise.
The speaker in the room then rang, and a melodious song that filled the room was being played.The graceful piece seemed to have the ability to heal people's emotions, and her restlessnesssuddenly dissipated. Although Adelpha was just an amateur pianist, she could tell the piece that wasbeing played was as good as the one at the concert. She put her phone down and slowly walkedtoward the piano before sitting down as she enjoyed the beautiful music.
The music stopped after some time had passed, but Adelpha was still immersed in the beautifulmusic that she just heard.
At that moment, Lyra’s voice was heard coming from the door. “Adelpha?!” She ran in excitedly andasked, “Did you just play that piece? You texted me and your father asking us to come over here justso that you could give us a surprise, right?”
"A text?” Adelpha seemed confused. “I didn't send you any texts, though.”
Right after, a loud clapping sound could be heard from the outside as it neared them. The three ofthem looked out and saw a tall, old man dressed in a gray suit walking in.
"Hahaha! It was so good. They are right when they said that there are many talented pianists inCittadel. The performance earlier on was just perfect!” The old man spoke in broken English, but hecouldn't hide his happiness.
"You are... Maestro Yorkson?” Adelpha's eyes lit up. “You really are Maestro Yorkson!”
"Yes, I am,” Yorkson answered gently. “However, I'm not a maestro. Based on your talent, you will beable to overtake me in no time!"
“Me?” Adelpha pointed at herself.
"Of course.” He smiled before adding, “Weren't you the one who played the piece earlier on?”
“I...” She wanted to say no, but the words were stuck in her throat. Then, she replied, “Yes, it wasme."
“Dear, would you be interested in coming to Alzue with me to further your studies? We will beleaving tomorrow.” Yorkson extended the invitation to her.
“Well, why not?” She pursed her lips and smiled.
“That's great!” The overjoyed Lyra tugged on Onyx's sleeve and exclaimed, “Adelpha’s talent is beingrecognized by Maestro Yorkson! She is definitely going places!”
“Earlier on, didn’t you say that it was Maestro Sinclair instead of Maestro Yorkson? Why is it adifferent person? Did you hire someone to put on a show?” Onyx's expression was grim since hewas skeptical about it.
“Dad! You are being rude! Maestro Sinclair is world-renowned, but Maestro Yorkson is consideredone of the best in the world too! Aren't you afraid of being a laughing stock for saying thosethings?” Adelpha chided.
"What's there to worry about?” Onyx replied as he adjusted his spectacles. “Asking questions is partof learning. There's nothing to be ashamed of if I ask questions. Besides, he's a maestro, so I'm surethat he wouldn't take such matters to heart. Isn't that right, Maestro Yorkson?”
“Haha, that's true. We are never too old to learn.” He then took out his name card and passed it toher. “Do contact me after the concert is over. I look forward to having you join us at Alzue.”
As the wide-eyed Adelpha stared at the intricate name card, she took a deep breath. She was gladthat she had finally achieved something big. Now that she was the protege of a maestro, no onewould dare to look down on her from now on. She bit her lip as she tried to calm herself downbefore stretching her hand out to grab the name card.
Just then, Elise’s voice was heard. “Maestro Yorkson, are you sure that she is the right person?”
The startled Adelpha immediately retracted her hand. The next moment, Elise was already standingin front of her. She was irritated as she saw how calm Elise looked. “What nonsense are yousputtering? If Maestro Yorkson doesn't select me to be his protege, do you think that he wouldselect a tone-deaf student like you?”
“Can't a tone-deaf person learn to play piano?” Elise laughed.
“Nonsense. If you can, you would have learned it earlier on. I see that you are trying to make a bigfuss because you want to ride on Maestro Yorkson's coattails!”
