The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 181

Music was a language that transcended barriers, and though Stella's piano skills didn't quite match her mastery of the violin, she could effortlessly pass a Grade 8 exam with ease.

On stage, a mother and daughter were performing a duet.

The girl's mother played the piano with remarkable skill. Even when the girl stumbled over a few notes due to nerves, her mother remained calm and swiftly covered for her.

Marvin, sitting beside Stella, leaned in to whisper some intel.

"That little girl's name is Marilyn. Her mom is the heiress of Royal Crest Diamantine. I heard Marilyn say that her mom is a top-tier pianist and even works as one professionally on the side."

"She started learning the piano with her mom when she was just three."

Stella nodded softly.

Marilyn's mother was impressive, and Marilyn herself was holding her own. Despite a few slips, she quickly regained her composure without letting it affect their overall performance.

For an adult, such mistakes might cost points, but for a five or six-year-old to recover so swiftly, it was actually a bonus.

The mother and daughter made a striking pair—the mother, graceful and refined, and the girl, radiant with youthful exuberance. When their performance ended, the crowd broke into roaring applause.

Abby, watching from the side, joined in the clapping.
