My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 668

He did not understand what was happening.

When he saw Penelope and Mary, he had never experienced this kind of feeling. On the contrary, he would feel that the mother and daughter’s greedy and foolish acts were repulsive. Their actions make him feel disgusted.

Meanwhile, Ashlyn narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly. The figure on the stage seemed too familiar to her.

Even though her face was wrapped in bandages, Ashlyn could recognize who she was.

It’s her? Why did she join this competition as well? Shouldn’t she be overseas?

Just then, the girl on stage began to introduce herself as she said, “Hello, everyone. My name is Charlotte. I hope everyone likes this piano piece I’m going to perform. I compose this myself, but I haven’t given it a name. I especially like this song because it gives me strength during the toughest period of my life. Till now, it has always accompanied me.”

Ashlyn stared motionlessly at the girl on stage. She didn’t know that Charlotte could play the piano.

Meanwhile, Joseph, seated in the third row of the audience seat, gave the girl on stage a thumbs up.

Charlotte, who was previously anxious, curled her lips slightly.

After she calmed herself down, she sat down at the piano.

Kate and Lochlan came to watch the competition as well.

She was particularly fond of Olivia. Thus, since Olivia had participated in the competition, it was natural for Kate to give Olivia her support.

When she saw Charlotte on stage, she could not help but sneer, “Does she think she could perform well? Olivia is the one that can play very well.”

Lochlan was shocked to see Charlotte on stage. I know Charlotte could play the cello, but when did she learn to play the piano and compose songs as well?

As he was often busy with work, he did not have the time to ask much about things related to Charlotte.

Did she learn it while I was busy?

After a while, he still couldn’t find an answer to the questions in his mind. However, he was currently not in the mood to give it more thought.

He only wanted to listen quietly to her girl playing the piano.

Thus, he focused his gaze on the young girl on stage, wanting to see her shine.

As Charlotte was seated at the piano quietly, she closed her eyes slightly.

A range of musical notes started to appear in her mind while she started to play a captivating melody that sounded as if it had a life of its own.

Her delicate and elegant fingers moved across the black and white keys quickly. Upon hearing the melancholy in the piano piece, everybody in the room quieted down.

It was as if there was something magical about Charlotte’s performance, and the melody itself could penetrate people’s hearts the moment one heard it.

The audience was thoroughly engrossed in the heavenly music.

Even those people, who did not have a clue about music, were fascinated by Charlotte’s performance.

Only Hera was stunned. She stared at Charlotte in shock.

This piece she’s playing… sounds so familiar.

It was similar to the tune of Sounds of Ranging Winds given to her by Michael. The two piano pieces had similar tunes and notes, but the only difference was that Michael’s piece did not give off a sense of melancholy.

Precisely because of the melancholy in Charlotte’s piece, it was more mesmerizing and wonderful in comparison.

Soon, Charlotte finished playing her piece.

Immediately, rounds of thunderous applause reverberated through the air.

There were even music enthusiasts who whistled and cheered for Charlotte.

The young girl stood up and bowed elegantly to express her gratitude.

“It’s wonderful! It’s a splendid performance!” Laylah, who was sitting on the left side of Ashlyn, stood up in excitement. She uttered, “I’d immediately guarantee your place in the finals! There’s no need for you to participate in the preliminary rounds with your standard.”

It was clear that Laylah was overly excited as she had not seen someone with so much potential over the last few years.

In this competition, the judges had the authority to guarantee candidates a spot in the finals. Each of the judges could do so for one candidate.

Laylah was simply over the moon. Her eyes were filled with admiration for Charlotte. “You are exceptionally gifted. When I look at you, you remind me of Maddy. When she was standing in front of

me back then, she…”

As she spoke, her eyes lit up brightly as she felt as emotional as the time when she first met Ashlyn years ago. Misty-eyed, she instinctively hugged Ashlyn, who was sitting beside her. “Maddy, I didn’t think I would meet someone who has the same potential as you. I am extremely thrilled. Sorry, I know I’m getting emotional,” she continued,
