Chapter 156
“She’s an amateur piano enthusiast.*
Alexander raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “Amateur piano enthusiast?”
“I think that must be a modest way of putting it. Your teacher must be a pianist with a well–known reputation.”
“Reputation? Isabella shook her head. “No, she’s not some pianist. She’s just an ordinary person.”
Alexander stroked his chin. “What’s your teacher’s name? Maybe I’ve heard of her.”
Isabella shook her head. “I don’t know. My teacher never told me her name.”
“Mr. Garcia, since I already have a teacher, there’s no reason for me to take you as my teacher. I hope you understand.”
Alexander stroked his chin, and after a moment, nodded. “I understand.”
Isabella said nothing more and turned to leave.
As Isabella’s figure disappeared, the people in the room all showed expressions of disbelief.
Alexander asked another elderly man, “Zane, what do you think?”
Zane sighed. “Her playing technique is flawless. She definitely learned from a professional pianist. I didn’t expect her teacher to be just an ordinary person. It seems true masters hide among common folk…”
Back in the lounge, Isabella found a comfortable chair to lie down in, put on her earbuds, and lazily closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, Lawrence had somehow appeared beside her, smiling happily at her.
“Awake?”
Isabella slightly lifted her stiff legs and took off her headphones. “Is the concert over?”
“Yes, it’s over.”
“Good, I’ve been waiting for you forever.” Isabella handed over a stack of postcards with Lawrence’s photo on them. Sign these, my roommates want them.
‘Your roommates are my fans?”
“Yeah.” Isabella’s lips curved slightly. “They all came today, using the tickets you gave Violet,”
“Those tickets were for you.”
Isabella waved her hand. “Same thing.”
Lawrence signed the postcards and handed them to Isabella. “Done.”
“Thanks. My roommates are still waiting for me outside. I’m heading out.

Hearing she was leaving, Lawrence immediately got ansitions You’re leaving already? I just told Ember to have you stay for dinner with us.”
I’ll pass on dinner. I already made plans with my rognonatustes. Besides, if they knew I was having dinner with you, they’d probably tear me apart out of ealousy.

Perfume? Isabella paused.
Yes! Lawrence looked straight at behethThe scent on you…”
Before he could finish, Isabelle but at him off. That’s not perfume. It’s solid fragrance.”
Isabella took out a round compactatt–like solid fragrance case from her pocket.
She opened it in front of bramence, and immediately, the familiar scent that Lawrence had noticed wafted out.
Isabella pressed the fragmenice oase into his hands. This isn’t store–bought. I made it myself.”
Lawrence held the fenance case and took a deep breath. “That’s the scent! Isabella, you can even make solid fragrance? This smells better than any

They had just sat down when several men in black suits and black gloves pushed through the door.
“Isabella, those people… Isabella was looking through the menu when she heard Aurora’s voice.
Isabella instinctively looked up, and when she saw who it was, her brow immediately furrowed.
The man leading them…
It was actually Andrew Anderson from the Anderson Family, one of the four major families.
Seeing that face, Isabella’s spine stiffened, and her eyes became more guarded.
She had mentioned before that Aurora and Violet both met bad ends in her past life.
Violet was framed by Charles and Juniper four years later, ending up disgraced and infected with a virus, while Aurora suddenly disappeared during the summer after the SATs.
To be precise, it wasn’t just a disappearance. When she was discovered missing, she was probably already dead. Two weeks later, Aurora’s body was found, her entire body cut open, her internal organs removed.
When Isabella heard this news, she was thunderstruck.
She had nightmares for several nights. Thinking about how her former friend had been so brutally murdered, she couldn’t sleep.
Isabella couldn’t understand why Aurora would be killed so cruelly.
