Chapter 261
Jane could not help but take one more glance at this woman.
She looked so familiar.
This face… Jane was sure she must have seen the woman somewhere before.
But where…
She couldn’t remember for the time being.
“Connor, let me introduce this lady to you. Leia Chalmers, the pianist we invited for the soft opening of our restaurant. “Miss Chalmers has just won an international award and many companies are looking forward to cooperating with her. If I hadn’t worked with Luther Group before, I really wouldn’t have been able to find such an outstanding young pianist.” Marlon slapped his head. “Leia? I’ve heard of your name somewhere…”
Liliana looked at him speechlessly. “Have you forgotten? We went to a piano concert recently. The pianist was Miss Chalmers.”
“Oh, yes, you’re right! The performance was great!”
“Thank you. I’m flattered.”
Leia smiled.
The next second, she
noticed that a piercing gaze was fixed on her.
Leia looked at Jane and said gently, “Miss, have we met somewhere before? Why are you looking at me like that?” “Well… I just thought you were very beautiful, so I took a few more glances.”
Jane smiled as well.
Hearing Leia’s name, Jane finally remembered who she was.
Wasn’t this woman Aaron’s girlfriend in her previous life?
Aaron and Leia had never told anyone about their relationship.
As a result, Jane only found out that the two of them were together before she died in her previous life.
By the time Aaron took Leia to the Fowler family’s house, they were about to get married.
Back then, Aaron had an unfavorable impression of Jane because Madelyn ****a wedge between them. Jane could only hide upstairs and secretly watch the Fowlers and Leia chatting cheerfully.
Seeing them get along well, she felt like her heart was being cut by a knife.
Leia also knew that Madelyn was favored by the Fowler family, so she tried every means to please her future sister-in-law, turning a blind eye to Jane.
But…
She wasn’t too mean to Jane.
She did nothing to Jane except for ignoring her existence like the Fowlers.
It might be God’s will that they met again.
Jane wondered if Aaron had been together with Leia.
But it had nothing to do with her.
Leia did not know that Jane had already found out everything about her.
She took the Initiative to greet the manager of the restaurant because she knew that the people here were either rich or powerful.
Connor, Marlon, Marquise, and… There was also a girl among them, but Leia had no idea who she was.
Leia was shocked when she found out that the girl was actually Jane. How could Jane hang out with those scions?
Now that Leia’s goal was to become the Fowler family’s daughter-in-law, she had long investigated their background and knew all about their connections.
Not to mention, Jane was so famous now that her photos could be seen everywhere. It would be strange if Leia couldn’t recognize her.
For fear that Aaron and the Fowler family would misunderstand and cause her plan to be a failure, Leia only smiled faintly and turned to the manager. “Thank you for your compliments. I’ll go backstage to prepare first.”
“Okay, Miss Chalmers. We’re counting on you for tonight’s performance.”
“No worries. I won’t let you down.”
Leia then left.
Connor realized that something was wrong with Jane. He lowered his voice and asked, “Queen, do you know that woman? It’s rare to see you staring at someone like that.”
“I thought of something interesting. I’m fine.”
At this moment, the lights in the dining room gradually dimmed.
The melodious sound of a violin rang out.
The violinist would finish playing a while later.
Then it would be Leia’s solo piano performance.
Leia had arrived backstage. She put on lipstick in front of the mirror and pressed her lips together lightly.
She finally got the chance after so many efforts.
Those who could get an invitation to Starry Restaurant for a meal were all from the upper class in Stormton City.
She was sure everyone would be impressed as long as she played the piano well.
That would be very helpful to her career.
Leia was determined to win the Fowler family’s favor and become Aaron’s wife. Only in this way could she get rid of that “nightmare”,
To marry Aaron, Leia needed to do something the Fowler family could be proud of. She counted the time and figured that Aaron and the others were about to arrive.
Putting down the lipstick, Leia turned around and left in her high heels.
At this moment, Anna, Jack, and Aaron walked into Starry Restaurant.
Aaron was the one who received the invitation.
He was invited because Leia had pulled some strings and offered to perform at Starry Restaurant.
She would be pleased if Aaron came to listen to her music.
If it weren’t for the incident at Hotel Molov, Aaron would have long come.
That incident left a huge impact on his family.
After Henry and Anna were discharged from the hospital, Henry let Anna return to Crucsia to recuperate. Dwayne was asked to stay. Sam, who had been studying Meridonia, was now on vacation. So Henry let the two help him expand his business in Eastshel.
Aaron, Quinton, and Peter who had to prepare for the final exam were the first ones back.
Eastshel’s military had specifically warned the Fowlers not to spread the news about what had happened in Hotel Molov.
The members of the terrorist organization were either dead or injured. The mastermind committed suicide. Many of the terrorists were mercenaries who joined the organization only for money. So, there was no way they could provide any valuable information.
With the invitation, one could only bring two people with him at most. Aaron’s parents had been in a bad mood after the Hotel Molov incident, so he decided to take them to Starry Restaurant to relax
To match the performance, the restaurant’s lights were dimmed.
So, Aaron and the others did not notice Jane sitting in the comer.
Jack had just stepped in when he heard the most wonderful part of the violin performance. He closed his eyes to enjoy the music, feeling much more relaxed.
“It’s a very nice violin piece. Aaron, I didn’t expect you to get an invitation to Starry Restaurant.”
Given Fowler Corporation’s status in Stormton City, it was not difficult for Jack to get an invitation to Starry Restaurant. However, he had been busy with the preparation for New Year’s Day, plus Anna and Henry’s sudden abduction.
He was not in the mood to get an invitation to such a place at all.
“A friend of mine gave it to me.”
Aaron didn’t tell him about Leia.
Quinton had left for Meridonia in a hurry.
As a result, he failed to meet Leia.
The main reason Aaron was here today was to bring his parents out to relax.
As for Leia’s true identity… Was she really the girl who had saved him back then?
He decided to put it aside for the time being.
The three of them sat down. Jack handed the menu to Anna. “Honey, what do you want to eat? Order.”
“I’ll eat whatever you order,” said Anna.
Anna was dressed elegantly. She had specially had her hair done and put on delicate makeup, but it could not disguise her haggard appearance.
“Honey, our son specially brought us here to relax. It’s a token of his concern for us.
“Don’t worry anymore. It’s all in the past. Our family is still safe and sound and we’re still together, right?”
Jack could tell what Anna was worried about. He sighed lightly, reached out to put his arm around her shoulders, and said comforting words gently.
