Chapter 400
While Jennifer was still hesitating, someone came out of the banquet hall, looking for her.
It was Wilson Green, the head of the orchestra. And he was so anxious.
“Where the hell did that Jennifer go? If she ruins the show, the whole orchestra will be doomed. Go find her!”
As soon as Wilson gave the order, all the members of the orchestra, except for the ones who were going to play on stage, went to look for Jennifer.
Eliana heard the commotion, so she quickly took Jennifer to hide in the bush.
Then she said, “You see? You’re in a critical situation now, so there’s no room for hesitation. Don’t worry. I used to play harp before. I only stopped when my family went bankrupt. But I was really good at it. My harp teacher was a famous professor. Her name is Leah Hamilton. Have you heard of her?”
“Wow! Professor Hamilton? She is my teacher too,” Jennifer exclaimed.
She didn’t expect that she and Eliana had the same harp teacher. “If Professor Hamilton was your teacher…
And your surname is Pierce…” Jennifer thought for a while. Then her eyes lit up. “Miss Pierce, are you Eliana, the daughter of the Pierce family?”
“Wait, how do you know?”
Eliana was a little surprised.
“Professor Hamilton told me about you. She has been teaching harp for many years and has a lot of students, but you’re the only one she remembers well. She said that your mother was also a famous
harpist. Miss Pierce, you are so talented. Why didn’t you continue to play?”
As she spoke, Jennifer looked at Eliana admiringly as if she was a fan.
When she heard this, Eliana was stunned. Sad memories flooded her mind, making her feel bitter. She closed her eyes and said with difficulty, “It’s nothing. I just… I just wanted to quit. You’d better think of what to do now.”
Jennifer saw the sad look in Eliana’s eyes, so she didn’t say anything anymore.
Since their teacher had never forgotten Eliana after all those years, it meant that Eliana must be really good at playing the harp. Eliana must be better than her.
And she had no time to think of another way. Someone must show up on the stage now.
“Okay. Miss Pierce, please perform on stage on my behalf,” Jennifer agreed through clenched teeth. However, she thought of another problem. “But we look different. Won’t they find out?”
This was indeed a problem.
Eliana looked at Jennifer’s sleeveless dress and said, “It’s okay. Let’s just change our clothes, and I can wear some disguise. No one will recognize me.”
Now that things had reached this point, Jennifer had no other choice.
The two of them rushed backstage and quickly exchanged dresses. Fortunately, they were about the same size.
To avoid being recognized by Maurice, Eliana added a white veil to cover half of her face, exposing only her mouth.
After dressing up, she looked at herself in the mirror. And she was satisfied. She had perfectly transformed from a sexy lady to an elegant harpist.
She looked like Jennifer now.
The show was about to start.
So Eliana hurried to the stage. When Wilson saw her, it was as if he saw a savior.
“Jennifer, where have you been? We’ve been looking for you everywhere. You know how important this performance is, right? Come on, get on the stage now. Let’s talk again later after our performance.”
Eliana lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
Without realizing that he was talking to a different person, Wilson pushed Eliana to the stage.
Under the spotlight, everyone focused their eyes on the stage. The symphony orchestra began to play, and the melodious music wafted throughout the banquet hall.
Eliana had never held a harp for a long time. And now, she was so nervous that she sweated profusely and made a few mistakes when she first started playing.
Below the stage, Maurice and Harriet were quietly listening to the music. When Eliana hit the wrong notes, Harriet laughed and said, “It seems that the harpist is a terrible one.”
Maurice remained silent, but he frowned. His sharp eyes were fixed on the harpist on the stage.
He didn’t know if he was only being delusional, but he felt that the harpist looked very familiar. He seemed to have seen that rosy mouth somewhere.
Slowly, Eliana regained the feeling of performing in the past. Then she gradually immersed herself in the music. Her slender fingers danced between the strings, and the gentle and ethereal sound flowed from her fingertips like the sound of nature. She played the harp very beautifully.
In the middle of the performance was a harp solo, and everyone had already immersed themselves in the music. They couldn’t help admiring the harpist’s performance.
The whole time, another person in the audience had been staring at Eliana.
She was Rosamond. Looking at the harpist on the stage, who was wearing a white dress and a veil, she couldn’t help murmuring, “Ingrid, is that you?”
