Chapter 810 What Goes Around Comes Around

After Adelpha sneered at Elise, she turned and smiled at Yorkson. “Maestro, ever since my sister gotpregnant, she had been blabbing a lot, so please don't take it to heart.”

Hearing that, Yorkson nodded and passed his name card to her. “See you later, then.”

"See you.” She smiled as she received the name card.

Both of them nodded at each other. When Yorkson was about to leave, Elise immediately walkedover to the piano.

Just as Yorkson and the others left the room, the sound of the piano was heard, and the smoothnotes were like hooks that wrapped around Yorkson's legs. He paused his footsteps and remainedstanding on the spot. As Elise played the piano, she deliberately revealed some minor flaws to makeher performance sound imperfect, but it didn't affect the overall piece. Playing it that way would beenough to capture Yorkson's interest.

Adelpha turned around in astonishment and was completely dumbfounded when she saw how wellElise could play the piano. Isn't Anastasia tone-deaf? When did she learn to play the piano?! Howcould she improve so drastically in just half a year?

Not only Adelpha but Onyx and Lyra were surprised by it too. They had the same thoughts asAdelpha, and they weren't glad at Anastasia’s change. Onyx, on the other hand, suddenly seemed tonotice his elder daughter's talent. He thought that he might have underestimated her.

Just then, he remembered that his daughter carried the Joslin Family's genes. It was probably timefor him to assess which daughters he should be investing in. Even though they hadn't been on goodterms for the past ten years, blood was thicker than water since they were father and daughter.Their relationship could be improved if he made some effort to talk to her.

When Adelpha saw that Elise had gotten better at playing the piano, she was anxious and walkedover to the piano before pulling Elise up from the seat. “You amateur! Stop showing off!”

There was a sudden silence after Elise stopped playing. As soon as Elise stood still, she pushedAdelpha’s hand away and rubbed her hand as if she was disgusted by Adelpha’s touch,

"Huh!" Adelpha’s blood started boiling upon seeing that. “You despise me? Don't you even dare tocompete with me! Dream on!” Just as Adelpha spoke, the door opened and Yorkson and his menappeared before them.

He walked over to Elise with a straight face and asked earnestly, “Were you the one who played thepiece?”

“Maestro Yorkson, it wasn't her. I was the one who—"

Adelpha was trying to stop Elise from speaking, but Yorkson didn't even give her the chance tofinish what she was going to say and interrupted her. “Shut up! I hate liars the most! People like youare unworthy of learning to play the piano!”

Upon hearing what he said, Adelpha was startled and froze on the spot.

After rolling his eyes at Adelpha, Yorkson looked at Elise with a smile and asked, “Miss, would youlike to come over to Alzue and learn some new piano skills with fellow pianists?”

“Are you taking me in as your protege?” Elise asked with a smile.

"Of course not,” Yorkson explained to her patiently, “I'm not confident that I'm qualified enough tobe your teacher, but I hope that we could be friends. In the next few years, many renowned pianomaestros will be visiting my place. Would you like to join us and study the piano together?”

Unlike his offer to Adelpha, he invited Elise over as a guest instead of going over there as a student."Why?" Adelpha, who just made sense of the situation, was strongly against it. “You just extendedyour invitation to me, and now you're saying the same words to another person? Is the invitationfrom Maestro Yorkson that worthless?!” She was trying to force Yorkson to choose between one ofthem.

Hearing that had put him in a bad mood. His expression turned grim as he turned over and glaredat Adelpha. “Hand it over.”

“Hand what over?” She seemed confused.

“My name card,” he answered coldly. “Thank you for reminding me that my name card is indeedexpensive, so I shouldn't be wasting it on worthless people.”

"You—" Adelpha stomped her feet as she was lost for words.

“Miss, it's just a name card. I'm sure that you wouldn't be that petty.” He spoke sarcastically as thethought of her deceiving him irritated him

"Who did you say was petty?!” She had fallen for it and threw his name card at him. “Here you go!Isn't it just a normal name card? It's not like it's plated in gold, so why would I want to keep it?"“That's good to know.” After Yorkson got his name card back, he rubbed it before handing it over toElise with both hands. “Madam, I really hope that we can be friends. If you agree to it, I will bepaying for all the traveling expenses during your trip to Alzue.”

“It'd be disrespectful of me to reject you.” She gladly accepted his offer. She then took the namecard and shook his hand politely.

With that, she would be able to deliver her child overseas using Anastasia’s identity while getting ridof Adelpha. It was the safest option for her.

"Ah!" Adelpha went mad when she saw them shaking hands. “That's ridiculous! Why would amaestro give a tone-deaf such good treatment? It's unbelievable!”

"Shut up!” Onyx couldn't afford to let her ruin such a great opportunity. “If your skills aren't as goodas others, you should be humble and learn from others. I will disown you if I hear you say anotherword!"

“I... Hmph!” Adelpha bit her lip helplessly and didn't dare to speak a word. Her hatred toward Elisedeepened when she saw how glad the latter looked.

Onyx had never scolded her in such a way, and on top of that, he embarrassed her in front ofeveryone just because of Anastasia. To her, all of these issues happened because of Elise, that b*tch.Adelpha had the perception that Elise had been secretly practicing for a long time to get to whereshe was today just to steal her limelight. She admitted that she had underestimated Elise!Meanwhile, Yorkson was worried that Elise would go back on her words, so he invited her over fordinner. “Ms. White, let's discuss it as we walk. I'll buy you dinner tonight.”

Soon after, the group left the room followed by the White Family, and Adelpha was standing at theend of the group. When they walked over to the elevator, they saw a notice saying that it was undermaintenance, so they had no choice but to take the stairs. The dispirited Adelpha suddenly grinnedwhen she recalled her plan.

As she located where Elise was among the crowd, an intention to kill flashed across her eyes. Shewas determined to not go easy on Anastasia since she was the one who asked for it. To execute herplan, she walked over quietly and stood behind Elise.

Soon, they reached the stairs and Adelpha grabbed the chance to push Elise from the back with allher might. However, Elise suddenly took a step to the side and managed to dodge it. Due to theinertia, it forced Adelpha’s body to go forward as she instantly rolled down the stairs.

By the time everyone else realized what had happened, Adelpha was sprawled on the landingbetween the second and third floor, her head on the ground and her body overturned. Her skirt hadbeen lifted, and it revealed her underwear. Elise took in the sight calmly since Adelpha had asked forit. What goes around comes around, Adelpha.

Seeing that, a few of Yorkson’s men looked away politely. When Onyx rushed to the front, he was soembarrassed and furious at the sight that his face was red.
