Chapter 774 ‘Musical Genius’
“That is right. You have never even played the piano or taken a graded exam before, and yet here you are questioning everything. You might get people thinking that the piano association belongs to your family!”
The group of women kept making mocking remarks as they made ‘Anastasia’ sound as worthless as possible.
Onyx’s expression grew more and more dark with every word they uttered. I shouldn’t have brought Anastasia here!
In the end, it was the vice president who broke up the fight. “Alright now, just let it go. Those who don’t know are innocent. The elder Young Miss of the White Family is not ashamed to ask questions, which means she has a mind that loves to think. Surely she has gotten the trait from Mr. White. Since her question did no harm, let’s put it behind us. We should get on with what is important.”
“The vice president is right. Let’s not waste everyone’s time and go in for the exam,” Onyx agreed. He didn’t want to continue being an embarrassment out in the public like this.
They then went straight to the location the exam would be held at.
After a simple preparation, Adelpha sat in front of the piano and began to play the exam pieces.
The sound of the piano soon filled the entire hall, making even the air feel elegant all of a sudden.
She calmly played through the pieces, and when she reached the climax, she even showed different emotions along with the music on her face.
After she was done with the piece, the vice president and the dozens of women behind him started applauding.
“That was the sound of heaven!” The vice president stood up excitedly. He was extremely grateful when he shook Onyx’s hand again. “This is exactly the musical genius the association is looking for, Mr. White. I pronounce Adelpha the official member of the association from today onward!”
Even though Onyx couldn’t tell how wonderful Adelpha’s piano skills were, a proud smile had appeared on his face as the vice president’s reaction had spread joy to him.
Lyra, on the other hand, was so excited she ran over to hug Adelpha.
The whole hall was filled with joy and harmony.
Of course, Elise was the only one who couldn’t relate to them.
She sneered as she looked at the absurd scene, the corners of her mouth curled into a sarcastic sneer.
Adelpha is a ‘musical genius’ who made her piano playing sound like ‘the sound of heaven’ just by playing half of an entry-level piano piece with several wrong notes?
In that case, wouldn’t most people who play the piano be musical geniuses as well?
It was obvious that they were trying to cheat their way through under the guise of being from the Piano Association.
“I am going to the washroom,” Elise announced before quietly walking toward the lavatory. When she reached her destination, she recalled the number of the Piano Association headquarters from memory and made a call there.
By the time she returned to the exam hall five minutes later, the vice president was still in the middle of showering Adelpha in compliments.
“I am not bragging, Mr. White. With Adelpha’s talent, I will be able to cultivate her within two years to the point where she can perform at the Sydney Opera House for the world to see her face!”
Oh, I got that wrong! Elise concluded. He is showering himself with compliments.
She then smacked her lips and walked over to them.
What Onyx cared about most was his reputation. He was already over the moon after being deceived by the vice president, so he immediately exclaimed, “I’ll leave Adelpha to your care then, vice president. Don’t worry about the fees. The Whites are generous people!”
“No rush on that. I will let Adelpha know about the fees later. You can discuss it privately among yourselves. Let’s issue Adelpha her certificate first.”
Acting reserved, the vice president pretended as if he didn’t care and changed the topic of the conversation.
Soon after, one of the women from the group took out an exquisite-looking certificate from her bag and handed it to the vice president.
The vice president immediately handed it to Adelpha. “Good luck, Adelpha. Keep up the good work. I have confidence in you!”
“Thank you, vice president. I will work hard!” She took it with both hands.
