Zion was very cautious, afraid of disturbing the person in the video. “Is it Mr. Brooks?” he asked,


    The crowd lost itsposure. However, an eerie silence followed. No one spoke. All eyes were fixed on Yvette’s phone, their gazes filled with doubt, shock, and disbelief. They mused, Can anything more absurd happen? An ordinary physics student is on a call with the world-renowned pianist, Bryan: Nobody would believe such a thing.


    Bryan, hearing his name called, responded, “Yes, it’s me.” His awkward Clusian silenced everyone in the room. It was truly Bryan.


    Bryan, who was in Mysonna, had not heard from Yvette in three years. When he saw the familiar number, he quickly put” down his scissors, ignoring his favorite flowers. His face on the video screen was filled with frustration.


    Yvette had been Bryan’s best student, or rather, a natural prodigy. The Ross family had chased her away when she was young, and he had been trying to find her since. Seven years ago, she had reached out to him after learning about his wife’s illness.


    She even mailed him some medicine. After that, his wife recovered, but he could no longer reach Yvette. In these past Jew years. Yvette had only contacted him three times, each time to send medicine.


    Yvette, though cold, was more loyal than anyone else.


    Yvette had no interest in small talk. “For whom did youpose Dream?” she asked in her usual terse tone.


    Below, Zion wiped the sweat from his hands, stunned by Yvette’s straightforward attitude toward Bryan. He was not alone everyone was collectively shocked.


    That was Bryan, a world-ss pianist who only appeared in textbooks and had not been seen in public for nearly ten years. Every one of his appearances caused a sensation in the music world, so much so that even the president of Mysonna struggled to invite him.


    Jaiden, gripping his cane, had deep calctions in his eyes. He realized he had to reevaluate the value of the Chambers family’s newly found eldest daughter, knowing Bryan was not a simple connection at all. The Lewis family was nothingpared to him. Yet, Yvette could converse with Bryan on equal terms-not even equal terms. Bryan’s attitude toward Yvette was exceptionally kind.


    Jaiden thought of his grandson, Ryan, who was about the same age as Yvette and from the same department. ‘Could there be potential there?


    y more


    Zachary was thoroughly impressed. First, it was a major-general a mayor, and now a world-ss pianist. How many. powerful connections did his daughter have? If this continued, his heart might not survive the shock.


    Standing silently to the side, Reba felt a chill down her spine as she watched Yvette chat with Bryan on stage. First a top hacker, and now a world-renowned pianist. There was no way it was thework of a simple girl from a rural town. Even the people Reba had sent to investigate Yvette came back with no results. It was as if Yvette did not exist in the world.


    The most frightened person in the room was Ruby, standing rigid in one position from start to finish, unable to move. Her mind hadpletely copsed. She thought she had cornered Yvette, but it turned out that Yvette even knew Bryan. At that moment, Ruby realized just how terrifying an existence she had provoked.


    Bryan’s voice came through the video, loud and clear. “I told you before, the piece wasposed for an old friend I used to Iran piano with Some people wrongly assume it was written for my wife, and when they y it, how should I put this? In Clusian terms, it feels tangled and messy.”


    At this point, it did not matter whether Yvette asked the question. Knowing Bryan personally was proof enough. There was no way she could not know the barkstory.


    2 Nowork avable now. Please check yourwork.


    Zion could not hold back any longer. He took a fewrge steps onto the stage and excitedly asked Yvette, “Can I speak with Mr. Brooks for a moment?”


    Bryan heard this and, thinking it was Yvette’s friend, did not mind. “Sure, what do you want to say?” he asked.


    Yvette paused for a moment and then handed the phone to Zion


    Zion took the phone with trembling hands. Seeing Bryan’s familiar face, he became even more excited. He said, “Mr. Brooks, hello! I’m Zion, a pianist from Clusia. I once had the honor of meeting you briefly at the international pianopetition in Mysonma. 1 benefited greatly from our conversation, and ver expected to see you again in such a way.”


    Bryan studied him for a moment, recalling the encounter. He remembered meeting Zion a few years ago when he had impulsively agreed to be a judge at the international pianopetition. Zion had represented Clusia and asked him a few questions. Bryan thought the young man was promising, so they chatted a bit. He had heard that Zion had developed quite well since then.


    Bryan, kind and unpretentious, smiled warmly. He replied, “I remember you, young man. How do you know this girl? Are you thinking of apprenticing under her as well?”


    Zion did not know how to respond to that. He had caught onto Bryan’s use of ‘as well”. Zion wondered, Who else wants to be apprenticed under Yvette? And why did Mr. Brooks think I wanted to? He was at a loss.


    If it were the mysterious pianist, Dulcem, who had risen to fame internationally three years ago with an originalposition, he might want to be her apprentice. But Yvette was not Dulcem.


    The audience could not hold back any longer. They had just heard Bryan ask if Zion wanted to be Yvette’s apprentice. That had to be the most absurd joke. How was that possible?’ they thought,


    Bryan, hearing themotion from the video, realized there were quite a few people on Yvette’s side. “What’s going on. Yvette? Where are you?” he asked.


    Yvette took the phone from Zion’s hand and replied, “It’s nothing I’m hanging up now


    Bryan quickly said, “When will youe and visit me?”


    Yvette’s expression softened, and after a moment’s thought, she replied, “Maybe when there’s a chance”


    Bryan looked visibly disappointed but knew Yvette did not like to be pressed. He repeatedly said, “Don’t put it off too long. Make sure you find time toe by.” He reluctantly ended the call.


    Yvette pocketed her phone and nced at Ruby, whose face was full of despair.


    “Let’s go.” Yvette saidAll content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    Bonnie immediately stood up, walking to Yvette’s side without hesitation as they left the auditorium together.


    Ruby copsed to the ground. Yvette had not said a word to her, yet it felt worse than if she had been killed The absolute disregard was crushing. From beginning to end, she was nothing more than a clown in Yvette’s


    After the Art Festival, Ruby was personally dismissed as student council president by Simon. From then on, whenever she encountered Yvette, she took a detour, never daring to face her again.


    As Yvette left, the students also exited the auditorium in an orderly fashion, still reminiscing about the day’s events. They had been incredibly fortunate. Not only had they heard a beautiful piano performance, but they had also seen the world- renowned pianist, Bryan. That alone would be something to brag about for the rest of their lives.


    Once again. Yvette became the trending topic of Argrol University. The media on the field were the most excited of all. They had not experied an ordinary university Art Festival to not only showcase a rising genius but also feature a surprise appearance by the world-renowned pianist, Bryan.


    They already had their headlines for tomorrow: [Argol University’s Physics Genius Emerges: World-ss Pianist Bryan Makes a Special Appearance).


    They knew that tomorrow’s trending topics would surely explode


    After leaving the auditorium, Yvette saw a message just sent to hier phone. She frowned, her eyes deep with thought.
