NovelEnglishChapter 604
As the audience was still mesmerized by the previous performance, Mrs. Chapman suddenly said, "I
remember that Ms. Jewell could play the piano. How about you play one for us today?"
Stella stopped cracking open the pine nuts in her hands and scowled a little.
'What have I ever done to her that made her pick on me during such an occasion.’
Cordelia was genuinely surprised. "Stella knows how to play the piano as well?”
Mrs. Chapman cut off Stella before the latter could even speak, "Ms. Jewell's skills with the piano are
excellent. Previously, she even surprised the crowd on a cruise."
Still gripping onto the pine nuts, Stella humbly replied, "Mrs. Chapman is exaggerating. I can only play
for fun and surely not enough to enter any hall of fame.

Saun if you want to."
Stella really wished she could stop Mrs. Chapman from digging a bigger hole for her.
She could easily beat Bella hands down, but Jaylene was on a different level entirely.
Seemingly interested in a duet performance, Jaylene replied warmly, ’I'm glad to join if Ms. Jewell
wants to."
Trevor noticed the predicament Stella was in and was about to speak up for her. But, he was cut short
by Keegan. "Her hand is injured, so she can't play the piano."
His response left both Trevor and Stella speechless. 'Can't you at least be a little more realistic with
your white lie? Who are you trying to fool when she doesn't even have a single bandage on her
hands?’ Trevor thought.
Everyone turned their attention to her hands.
Stella, without much of a choice, tightened her grip on her pine nuts and said with a fake smile, "My
tenosynovitis is back."
Mrs. Chapman snickered and sarcastically remarked, "Ms. Jewell's tenosynovitis sure knows when to
flare up." Those in the know knew it was just an excuse to save her reputation for not being talented
enough. The situation would be resolved, and Stella would not be triggered if Mrs. Chapman did not
follow up with her sarcastic remark.
Stella briefly glanced at Mrs. Chapman and said, "I may not play piano very well. But, would it be alright
if I wish you a happy birthday differently, Grandma?"
Cordelia curiously asked, "What do you have in mind?"
"I'll write you a calligraphy."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone present broke into fits of laughter before Cordelia could speak. Nonetheless, there were too
many calligraphy arts from renowned artists that were gifted and displayed today. Stella's calligraphy
would definitely pale in comparison to the famous calligraphy artists.
Upon seeing her confidence, it gave Cordelia an unknown sense of trust in her. "Sure you can." She
then ordered Keegan, "Keegan, ask someone to bring a table over along with a calligraphy writing set."
Jaylene suddenly requested, "Could you kindly prepare another set for me as well? I want to write
calligraphy for Grandma as well." i
Stella paused at the unexpected response from Jaylene. On the other hand, Trevor frowned even
harder. 'Why is Jaylene fooling around? She's taught by Absalom Marco, a renowned calligraphy artist.
How will Stella live it up if Jaylene were to write calligraphy together with her?'
He whispered to Jaylene, ‘Jaylene, stop making a scene."
Jaylene gave a polite smile and replied, "Brother, it's rare to meet someone who knows calligraphy. I
want to write it together with her."
Stella rolled her eyes and smiled, "Grandma, let's prepare one more set for her."
