Chapter 4 Can’t You Recognize Me?

He did it on purpose!

He deliberately wanted to make her look like a fool!

How could there be such a despicable man in this world?

Did he marry her just to tease her?

Seeing her standing there, stunned, Charlie’s lips curled slightly,” Vivi, go on.”

Huff…

Nancy took a deep breath, resisting the urge to slap Charlie hard across the face.

But she still didn’t move. Charlie jokingly said, “What, do you want! to get them pay for inviting a pianist to play a piece?”

“No need!”

Nancy gave him a glare, then elegantly turned around, walking towards the stage with her skirt swaying.

If he wanted to embarrass her, she wouldn’t let him have his way!

Sitting down by the white piano, Nancy’s slender fingers gently landed on the keys.

She turned her head and gave Charlie a mocking glance before pressing down on the keys.

Instantly, a melodious piano sound resounded. The beautiful music struck Charlie’s heart from the first note!

She could play!

Given her finger technique, her piano skills were even better than Vivian’s!

He had never been interested in women before because his heart was completely devoted to his career.

The reason he agreed to the arranged marriage in the first place was because he had witnessed Vivian’s performance.

She played the piano well, and she was also pretty. The temperament of a pianist suited the status of Mrs. Firth.

After the wedding, he sat on the plane flying to Europe. He thought, if Vivian could maintain her role for these three years while he was away, he would fulfill his husband’s duty and give her the love a

wife deserved.

But it wasn’t Vivian who held onto Mrs. Firth’s role. It was Nancy!

Moreover, Nancy at this moment was more dazzling and charming

than Vivian…

As the music finished, Nancy retracted her hands, lifted her skirt, and stood up. When she turned around, she saw the crowd below the stage mesmerized by her performance.

She smiled slightly and prepared to step down. But at that

moment, a slender hand reached out in front of her. She looked up and met Charlie’s gentle gaze.

“Be careful. Don’t fall.”

Nancy quietly looked at him. If only he could be this good to Nancy, how wonderful would it be?

Nancy knew in her heart that everything he did outside was because she represented Mrs. Firth – Vivian.

Concealing her inner emotions, Nancy lightly placed her hand on Charlie’s palm and let him support her off the stage.

“Wow!”

At this moment, thunderous applause resounded from the side.

Ben walked over. “Wow! It turns out attending a live concert is the future way to go. It feels ten times better than watching it on video!”

“That’s right!”

Someone next to him agreed, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that one person could play like this. It seems like I’ll have to attend live concerts from now on!”

Charlie chuckled softly and placed Nancy’s hand in his arm.

Nancy’s performance didn’t embarrass him, but made him proud.

“Vivian?”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from beside them. The next second, an elegantly dressed woman approached.

She fixed her gaze on Nancy, examining her with a hostile look.

After scrutinizing Nancy from head to toe for a minute, she furrowed her brows, “You’re Vivian?”

Nancy’s heart tightened, even her hand holding onto Charlie’s arm tightened. She tried to suppress her panic and smiled calmly at the

woman.

Before knowing the woman’s identity, staying silent was the best way to conceal her emotions.

The woman looked at her and suddenly sneered, “Can’t you recognize me?”

The smile that had just appeared on Nancy’s lips instantly froze…
