Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Hard To Admit Others Are Outstanding

Then, almost everyone in the Parks family had shown their talents before Samuel.

Some sang, some drew, some danced, and some recited poems…

Alexander and Abigail also performed a four-hand piano combo.

Abigail was quite good at playing the piano. She was not inferior to Jadeborough’s socialites.

Alexander was originally very dissatisfied with Abigail because of the Energizing Pill. Seeing that Abigail played the piano well, he thought highly of her again.

He felt there was still a long way to go for him to avenge.

Today, Annalise brought out an outstanding birthday gift by luck. She would not be lucky every time.

When her luck ran out, it would be time for them to embarrass her.

After Alexander and Abigail finished performing, Jane began to persuade Annalise. “Annalise, aren’t you going to perform?”

Julian glared at Jane. “Aren’t there enough professional performances for you to watch?”

Jane endured the pressure and ignored Julian’s words. She braced herself and said, “Annalise, everyone is performing. Isn’t it inappropriate if you don’t perform?”

Cassandra, Albert, and Christopher were sitting with those older people. Her eyes would occasionally pay attention to the movements of the youngsters. Looking at Jane seemed to be talking to Annalise, Julian’s expression did not look too good.

She immediately reacted and sent a voice message to Jane. [Jane, don’t cause trouble.]

Jane pretended not to hear and continued to encourage Annalise.

Jessy deliberately provoked Annalise. “Annalise, even if you don’t have talent, at least go up and recite a poem for Samuel. Everyone is watching.”

Julian was about to retort when Annalise looked at Jessy with a faint smile. “I’m sure you know deep down your performance is to show off or to celebrate Samuel’s birthday, right?”

“You!”

Annalise added, “If the performance is just to show off and attract attention, it’s not celebrating for Samuel. It’s putting the cart before the horse and disrespecting Samuel.”

“You… don’t pretend to be understanding.”

“I’m just telling the truth. It’s better than some people who are full of evil tricks and do things that harm others without benefiting themselves.” Annalise’s voice was very soft, but every word pierced Jessy’s heart.

She just wanted to tell Jessy it would not benefit Jessy if Jessy forced her to perform or embarrass her.

Julian could not help but smile gently when he saw Annalise scolding Jessy.

He liked the way she scolded people.

His voice was not loud, and she would not curse, but every word was heart-wrenching.

Jessy snorted again and ignored Annalise. She went to speak sarcastically along with Jane. “What a joke. Some people have no talent, but they accused me of disrespecting Samuel. What a way of changing the truth. Bah!”

When Julian heard this, his anger suddenly spiked.

Annalise pulled him back.

He looked at Annalise and saw that she was calm and not angry at all.

He was very surprised. “You’re not angry?”

Annalise smiled and shook her head. “I’m not angry.”

What was there to be angry about?

Jessy did not dare to speak in front of her anymore. What did that mean?

That meant that Jessy had admitted defeat and did not dare to fight head-on. She could only gossip behind her back.

How many of those gossipers were capable of doing anything to her?
