The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 88

Edward’s concert was already getting a lot of attention, but with Natalie making an appearance, the hype went through th

roof.

The comment section on the video was blowing up.

[Oh my god! This is so good! I’ve replayed it ten times already!]

[Wait, is Natalie really that young? You can’t really see her face, but she looks like she’s only around twenty!]

[I’m not really into music. Can someone explain what Natalie’s status is in the music world?]

[Let me put it this way: Leonard Chase has only ever taken on two apprentices in his whole life.]

[The first is Edward Lopez, who’s now a world–famous piano master. The other is Natalie, and judging from the video, Leonard took her in when she was just four or five years old. Just let that sink in.]

[Just to add, Leonard Chase is basically the godfather of piano in the country. He was already judging international competitions thirty years ago. And his standard for taking on students? Not just being good. He only takes in prodigies yo see once in a hundred years. Get it now?]

[To put it simply, she’s the kind of person who was born with cheat codes.]

[Not just cheat code like life itself is force–feeding her success.]

Andrew barely glanced at it. He wasn’t really into all this. He was just here to go through the motions

So, he had no clue that the new apprentice today was Isabelle Grant.

As they walked further inside, they turned a lot of heads.

People started whispering and guessing who the mysterious girl with Andrew was.

“Who’s that with Mr. Mitchell?”

“No clue, but wow, she’s stunning!”

“Is that his girlfriend?”

“No idea… quit guessing!”
