Chapter 155

Talia’s POV

+3 Bond

I settle into my chair, the memory of my mother’s voice guiding me through this story. “You probably know that Mr. Adler only accepts truly gifted students. Those who make it under his mentorship are truly one in a million.”

Electra nods, her eyes fixed on me.

“I heard that one of the colleagues I mentioned played the cello. She was incredible. My mom said her own talent did not even come close to one-tenth of this girl’s potential.”

Electra’s jaw drops. “Is there really someone that good?!”

I sigh. “There is always someone better. Mr. Adler is not just looking for talent, though. He is trying to understand the limits of human potential in music. This person’s family was also musically inclined. Maybe that is why she recommended her cousin to Mr. Adler.”

I lean back, my voice taking on a storytelling rhythm.

Electra gasps softly.

“Mr. Adler found out.” My voice hardens slightly. “He kicked his former student out of his circle. He even set a

rule that no one in his inner circle could recommend their relatives or friends to him. He said if someone truly had the gift, he would find them on his own. No introductions

needed.”

I spread my hands. “That is pretty much the story.”

Electra nods slowly, understanding dawning on her face. “I see. With your talent and your mom being one of his disciples, I always wondered why she never introduced you to him.”

She taps her chin. “Now it makes sense.”

She sighs, but quickly perks up, her energy shifting. “But it is okay. With your abilities, someone will discover you soon.” She leans forward, excitement creeping into her voice. “By the way, Talia, our account is almost at 10 million followers now. Once we hit that milestone, we can start live streaming to boost your profile even more.”

Even so, I have heard the comments. People not only noticed, they want to see more.

Electra has kept my face hidden to maintain mystery. The fans are hooked, eagerly waiting, but they can’t be kept hanging forever.

She has warned me that when the time is right, she will arrange a live stream and I have to show up at any cost.

When it comes to managing these things, she is way more skilled than I am.

I smile at her. “Alright, I will leave all that to you.”

Electra grins, already pulling out her phone to check the numbers. “Trust me. By the time I am done with this, you

will be a household name.”

I let her enthusiasm wash over me. Ten million

followers… it seems impossible. But then again, a lot of things that seemed impossible are happening now.

me with sharp, piercing blue eyes.

His silver hair is immaculate, his posture rigid despite the cane he leans on. He is in his mid-sixties, but there is nothing frail about him. His gaze cuts through me like I am made of glass.

“This young lady does not seem to be the one I am looking for,” he says, his voice firm. Final.

I swallow the disappointment rising in my throat. If Serena was my idol, then Gerard is the one I have always dreamed of meeting. I never imagined I would have the chance to stand before such a legendary figure. Who would not want to meet this iconic person?

Aires remains composed, his expression cool. “Mr. Adler, this young lady here is every bit as talented as the one you are looking for.”

Gerard turns his sharp gaze to Aires. His eyes are like daggers. “May I ask, what is she to you?”

Aires does not flinch. “She is my wife.”

Gerard’s gaze shifts back to me, lingering for a moment:01 Then he asks, “Then what is this lady to you?”

Aires’s voice is low. “She is my friend. She graduated from Altheria University’s Institute of Musical Arts.”

Gerard chuckles dryly. “You seem to think that graduating from Altheria University means something special?”

Aires raises an eyebrow. “Isn’t it?”

Gerard laughs again, and there is no warmth in it. “Altheria University is ranked among the top five music schools in the world, but you seem to have forgotten that there is a school here, in your country, ranked second in the world. Ravenswood Institute’s Institute of Musical

Arts.”

He leans forward slightly. “The difference is, Ravenswood specializes in classical instruments, while Altheria focuses

on modern instruments.”

He sighs, his gaze drifting for a moment. “I have studied classical instruments too. They are unique and beautiful, but they are also incredibly difficult.”

His attention returns to me, and I feel the weight of his assessment pressing down on my shoulders. “I will3:01

My face heats. I keep my expression neutral, but inside, something twists.

Gerard loses interest in me almost immediately. He turns back to Aires. “Mr. Perseus, I am here to meet your wife.

Where is she?”

Aires’s brow furrows slightly, but he answers smoothly. “Mr. Adler, the violin is just a hobby for her. She is not pursuing it seriously and will not be performing or taking on any serious training. Her main focus is on our family.”

Gerard’s icy blue eyes lock onto Aires. “Caring for a family does not have to conflict with continuing a musical career. And with the Perseus family’s wealth and resources, I believe she doesn’t need to devote all her energy to the household.”

Aires is unphased. “Earlier, you mentioned that Altheria University graduates might not even have the right to knock on your door. My wife only has a middle school education, so she probably would not meet your standards.”

Gerard’s eyebrow rises. For the first time, genuine surprise crosses his face. “A middle school education? 3:01 Yet, from what I can tell, she is at least got fifteen years of
