The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 188

The only sound that filled the air was the heavenly melody of the piano, echoing like a siren's song in everyone's mind.

The room fell into a hushed silence as all eyes fixated on Stella, their expressions a mix of awe and disbelief.

In the audience, Jasper, who had been clutching his phone, ready to broadcast Stella's supposed embarrassment to the world, found himself swept away by the music.

He had spared no expense to ensure Stella's downfall, investing a fortune to secure a prime spot on the live-streaming platform's homepage.

As soon as he went live, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into the stream.

Before Stella started her performance, those watching were confused by the chaotic noise from the event, assuming some sort of mishap had occurred.

In today's digital age, nothing captures people's attention like a bit of drama.

The livestream audience leaned into their screens, hungry for drama—but as Stella’s first notes filled the air, the comment section froze mid-snark.

Not from technical glitches. From pure, unwilling awe.

Then—the dam broke.

Emojis, ALL-CAPS rants, keysmashes of disbelief flooded in so violently that Jasper’s custom-built phone stuttered, its processor overwhelmed by collective hysteria.

"Wow! That was unbelievably beautiful! Even as someone who knows nothing about music, I was completely entranced!"

"I'm a music student, and let me tell you, this girl is better than Antony! You know, the famous Antony, right?"

"Darn it, I was so caught up in listening that I forgot to record! Did anyone manage to record it? Please share it with me, I'd owe you one!"

"Is it just me, or is this girl stunning beyond belief? Does anyone know her name?"

"She's just so breathtaking... I want to keep watching her forever!"

"I've just followed you, streamer. Can you adjust the camera so we can see her beautiful face again?"

"Let's shower her with gifts, everyone! Maybe she'll play another piece?"
