“What’s the difference?” asked Jasper Reed.

Just then, another staff member walked up to that staff member and whispered a few words in their ear. The expression of the staff member who stopped Jasper changed immediately. Then, they respectfully and quickly got out of the way. “I’m sorry, Miss… You can play the piano.”

Although she found it strange, Jasper sat on the piano bench without giving it much thought.

Somewhat puzzled, Grace turned to look at Jason. “What happened? Did they recognize you?”

Jason smiled lightly. “Maybe.”

Seeing that Jasper was about to play the piano, the people around them thought they would be watching a joke unfold.

Grace, Jason, and Mick Reed were not worried that Jasper would make a fool of herself. After all, they all knew about the little one’s ability. They often listened to her play the piano at home.

However, Irene Lynch and Oriel Lynch had no idea about it. They were waiting for Jasper to make a fool of herself.

When Jasper Reed’s little hands flew across the piano keys, beautiful music played. Irene Lynch’s expression changed while Oriel Lynch widened her eyes in disbelief.

‘Jasper Reed… is playing the piano? How is that possible? It’s just like… how my teacher plays it!’

Oriel Lynch’s skills were lacking. She only knew that Jasper played as well as her piano teacher.

However, that little boy did not think the same. He had a musical talent beyond ordinary people’s. No matter what tune it was, he could easily play it after listening to it once.

Over time, this talent of his became boring to him. He just played tunes without making any mistakes. He was like a machine. It did not matter to him whether he played it once or a hundred times.

However, he experienced a different feeling when he listened to this little girl who was about his age playing the same piece he had just played.

‘Is this what the teacher called ‘feelings’? Why is she able to express ‘feelings’ when she plays when we’re both about the same age?’

“William, you’re a genius, a real genius! You’re only five years old. Even if you can’t express ‘feelings’ in your music now, you’ll understand more about it when you’re older. Then maybe you’ll know how to do it.” The teacher had said to him.

However, he did not care.

Playing the piano or any other instrument was just a way for him to pa** the time anyway. He did not find it interesting.

However, as he listened to the little girl playing the piece, he suddenly had a thought. ‘Is playing the piano that fun? Why can she play it… so happily?’

When the tune ended, the surrounding onlookers were silent. They seemed to be absorbed in the music and also shocked by Jasper Reed’s playing skills.

Jasper jumped down from the bench and rushed over to the little boy. “You could have played like this, but why didn’t you? Big Beard said you can just get a robot to play the piano if you’re going to play without any feelings The little boy pressed his lips together without speaking, but his beautiful eyes kept staring at Jasper Reed.

Oriel Lynch suddenly rushed forward and said to Jasper Reed, “You didn’t play that. You secretly played a recording, didn’t you? You played the recording of others playing the piano and made it seem like you were playing it!”

That must be it! She had watched a TV show before that showed someone playing the recording of someone else’s singing to make it seem as though they were singing it themselves!

That must be what Jasper did. How else could she play the piece?

The little boy glanced at Oriel Lynch and coldly spat out one word. “Idiot.”

Oriel Lynch’s face went red.

Jasper once again took the boy’s hand and said, “I want to hear you seriously play it. It’ll be nice. We can even play a duet. It’s boring to play the piano with Big Beard and the other adults. We’re about the same age. It’ll be fun to play the piano together.”

The little boy’s gaze returned to Jasper Reed’s face. ‘Play the Oriel Lynch turned around awkwardly and rushed back into Irene Lynch’s arms. “Mommy, let’s go home. Let’s go home!! don’t want to stay here!”

She was too embarra**ed to stay here.

Irene Lynch gently comforted her daughter and looked at Grace and Jason. Grace had walked over to Jasper and was saying something with her head lowered. Jason was holding Mick Reed’s hand as he stood a few steps away with a smile on his lips. He was looking tenderly at Grace.

Irene Lynch was jealous. How she wished the man’s tender gaze was directed at her!

When she and her daughter were being bullied and ridiculed on the street back then, he had walked up to them as he held Mick Reed’s hand, looking just like a god.

She thought she had met a hero who would rescue her, but as it turned out, her daughter was only a substitute for that little b*tch, Jasper Reed.

Now that the real deal had returned, her daughter no longer had a place in the Reed family. Others previously thought she might join the Reed family in the future, but now, they only ridiculed her by saying, “Your daughter’s just an adopted daughter.”

‘Adopted daughter! Adopted daughter!’ These two words seemed to be constantly getting on her nerves.

Even when she was live-streaming, haters would mock her about her daughter being adopted!

Irene Lynch looked down at her daughter and said, “Didn’t I tell you that I’m going to do a livestream and introduce some instruments today? I also signed a contract with the exhibition manager!”

Besides, the fun had not even started yet. How could she leave? She had done so much to prepare for what was to come!

Taking a look at the time, Irene Lynch calmed her daughter down and turned to say to the staff members following her, “Why don’t we start here? It’s about time to go live, and it’s pretty lively here. We can just start.”

“Okay, Miss Lynch.” They began to take out their phones and set up the tripods.

A smile appeared on the corners of her lips. She posed for the camera. When the livestream started, Irene Lynch gave the opening lines as she mentally counted down the time.

Just as the crowd that had gathered to watch the two kids play the piano began to disperse, a voice suddenly rang out, “Unethical lawyer, give me justice!”

An ordinary-dressed man took out a banner and held it high. The words on the banner were: [Unethical lawyer Grace ruined my family!]

“Grace, your mentor’s a well-known lawyer in the legal world. You colluded with your mentor and ruined my family. Your husband’s Jason from Reed group, and he’s protecting you. You guys are rich and powerful, but I don’t believe I can’t clear my name in this just society.” Damian Harmon headed toward Grace and Jason as he shouted, hoping to attract the attention of everyone around them.

As expected, many people around them stopped and looked their way.

Jason pressed his thin lips tightly together and frowned as he made Grace and their two children stand behind him. The 37

bodyguards secretly protecting them also stepped forward and gathered around them, waiting for Jason’s command.

However, Damian Harmon did not do anything aggressive like last time. Instead, he plopped down in front of Grace and Jason ten steps away from them as he held the banner.

“I’m just a nobody. I have no power. Yes, you can throw me out and keep me quiet! Why is it so hard for ordinary folk to seek redress… Damian Harmon said while sniffling and in tears. One minute, he was accusing Grace, Jason, and Old Lawyer Watts. The next minute, he was saying how things were for him.

Only then did the onlookers around them realize Jason, the man famous in Emerald City, and his wife were also here at the exhibition.

Damian Harmon had been active online all this time, so some people here knew him. They were instantly interested to see how this would unfold. Some even took out their phones to secretly film them.

The staff member filming Irene Lynch’s livestream spoke upon discovering something. “Gosh, it’s Jason! Oh my God, this is juicy news.”

Then, the staff member turned the camera to Jason, Grace, and Damian Harmon, while another staff member apologize to Irene Lynch.

Irene Lynch said with an awkward look on her face. “Don’t film it. This is bad. Won’t this impact the Reed family negatively.. However, she was secretly overjoyed.

Damian Harmon had come as planned. Once Damian Harmon said something shocking in public, rumors would no longer be rumors if everyone talked about it.

The man would feel as though there was a needle stabbing into his heart if his woman lost her reputation and was deemed guilty. Even if Jason did not care now, he would care in the future!

Jason wanted to step forward, but Grace pulled him back and said, “Let me do it. This is my problem, after all.”

She did not want to just stand behind him and do nothing but be protected.

Grace went up to Damian Harmon. “You said I framed you, and the procuratorate is already investigating it. You want to know the truth? They’ll announce the result of the investigation once they’re done.”

“Who knows if you’ve bribed the procuratorate?” asked Damian Harmon.
