Chapter 111 Sienna’s Fainting Act

“Dad, if you were caught in the snow during those winters years ago, then you and Mom have already shared silver hair in this lifetime.”

Jasper couldn’t hold back his tears any longer.

The entire audience rose to their feet, applause thundering through the hall.

Before she left the stage, Queen raised one slender finger toward the ceiling.

When the curtain fell, a single tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

Backstage, Lucas–already emotional–pulled her into a brief, polite hug.

“She’d be proud of you. Wherever she is.”

She smiled softly and nodded.

Just as she was about to head out, a crowd poured into the backstage area.

Reporters. Amber. Sienna. A handful of fans.

“Everyone, take it easy–there’s plenty of time for autographs and photos tonight.”

Sienna frowned slightly and squeezed her mother’s hand.

Amber didn’t get it.

“Sienna, what are you so nervous about? Even if they don’t know us, with all these reporters around, you really think they’d refuse an autograph or a picture? Unless they want to tank their own reputation over something this small.”

She wasn’t worried at all. If anything, she was annoyed by her daughter’s hesitation.

Lucas handled the interviews with practiced ease.

He could tell Queen wasn’t in the mood to talk, so he subtly steered the conversation away from her whenever possible.

When the interviews wound down, fans eagerly pressed forward for autographs.

“Lucas, would you sign this for me?”

“Of course.”

Lucas signed patiently for everyone.

“Queen, could you sign mine? I’m such a huge fan.”

“Sure.”

Chapter 111 Sienna’s Fainting Act

Queen signed autograph after autograph, posed for photos, smiled for cameras.

Then Amber and Sienna pushed their way to the front.

“Queen. I have to say–I admire you so much. You’re a true genius. Your performance tonight was unbelievable. I’ve never heard violin played like that. You are absolutely the greatest violinist in the world.”

At that, Queen’s hand paused over the photo she was signing. A small smile touched her lips.

“Thank you for your support.”

‘Can I get a picture with you?”

‘Of course.”

Amber waved excitedly at Sienna. “Come on! What are you standing there for?”

Sienna’s mind was spinning. Queen’s earlier words echoed in her head, and the more she thought about hem, the tighter her chest felt.

She forced a smile.

‘Queen, it’s been a while. Tonight was a huge success.”

Thank you.”

They posed for a photo together.

Some reporters–hungry for drama, especially after the Iris versus Sienna situation–saw their moment.

One of them jumped in. “Queen, we’ve heard you and Sienna are close. Is that true?”

Sienna’s face went pale. She jumped in quickly. “Queen and I are both part of Echo Club. She’s always been someone I’ve looked up to.

‘Queen, you were incredible tonight. Really. I’m so proud of you.”

“Thank you.”

Sienna let out a quiet breath. If she could just steer this interview to an end, everything would be fine.

“So Queen and Sienna really are close.”

“Guess Iris was lying. Why would she do that?”

“So that whole thing about Queen knowing Nirvana is probably fake too, right?”

“Oh my god, I’m unfollowing Iris. A diva lying like that?”

“I just unfollowed Sienna–wait, I take it back. Following her again now.”

Queen was busy signing autographs, seemingly oblivious to the chatter. Sienna finally let herself relax.

“Queen, do you think Miss Lopez has what it takes to become the next violin virtuoso?”

Finished

Queen tilted her head slightly, a warm smile on her face, looking genuinely puzzled at the reporter who’d asked. “Miss Lopez? I’m sorry–who?”
