Zion was very cautious, afraid of disturbing the person in the video. “Is it Mr. Brooks?” he asked,
The crowd lost its composure. However, an eerie silence followed. No one spoke. All eyes were fixed on Yvette’'s
phone, their gazes filled with doubt, shock, and disbelief. They mused, Can anything more absurd happen? An
ordinary physics student is on a call with the world-renowned pianist, Bryan: Nobody would believe such a thing.
Bryan, hearing his ncalled, responded, “Yes, it's me.” His awkward Clusian silenced everyone in the room. It
was truly Bryan.
Bryan, who was in Mysonna, had not heard from Yvette in three years. When he saw the familiar number, he
quickly put” down his scissors, ignoring his favorite flowers. His face on the video screen was filled with
frustration.
Yvette had been Bryan's best student, or rather, a natural prodigy. The Ross family had chased her away when
she was young, and he had been trying to find her since. Seven years ago, she had reached out to him after
learning about his wife's illness.
She even mailed him smedicine. After that, his wife recovered, but he could no longer reach Yvette. In these
past Jew years. Yvette had only contacted him three times, each tto send medicine.
Yvette, though cold, was more loyal than anyone else.
Yvette had no interest in small talk. “For whom did you compose Dream?” she asked in her usual terse tone.
Below, Zion wiped the sweat from his hands, stunned by Yvette’s straightforward attitude toward Bryan. He was
not alone everyone was collectively shocked.
That was Bryan, a world-class pianist who only appeared in textbooks and had not been seen in public for nearly
ten years. Every one of his appearances caused a sensation in the music world, so much so that even the
president of Mysonna struggled to invite him.
Jaiden, gripping his cane, had deep calculations in his eyes. He realized he had to reevaluate the value of the
Chambers family’s newly found eldest daughter, knowing Bryan was not a simple connection at all. The Lewis
family was nothing compared to him. Yet, Yvette could converse with Bryan on equal terms-not even equal
terms. Bryan's attitude toward Yvette was exceptionally kind.
Jaiden thought of his grandson, Ryan, who was about the sage as Yvette and from the sdepartment.

Standing silently to the side, Rebecca felt a chill down her spine as she watched Yvette chat with Bryan on stage.
First a top hacker, and now a world-renowned pianist. There was no way it was the network of a simple girl from
a rural town. Even the people Rebecca had sent to investigate Yvette cback with no results. It was as if
Yvette did not exist in the world.
The most frightened person in the room was Ruby, standing rigid in one position from start to finish, unable to
move. Her mind had completely collapsed. She thought she had cornered Yvette, but it turned out that Yvette
even knew Bryan. At that moment, Ruby realized just how terrifying an existence she had provoked.
Bryan's voice cthrough the video, loud and clear. “I told you before, the piece was composed for an old
friend | used to Iran piano with Speople wrongly assit was written for my wife, and when they play it,
how should | put this? In Clusian terms, it feels tangled and messy.”
At this point, it did not matter whether Yvette asked the question. Knowing Bryan personally was proof enough.
There was no way she could not know the barkstory.

Zion could not hold back any longer. He took a few large steps onto the stage and excitedly asked Yvette, “Can |
speak with Mr. Brooks for a moment?”
Bryan heard this and, thinking it was Yvette’s friend, did not mind. “Sure, what do you want to say?” he asked.
Yvette paused for a moment and then handed the phone to Zion
Zion took the phone with trembling hands. Seeing Bryan's familiar face, he beceven more excited. He said,
“Mr. Brooks, hello! I'm Zion, a pianist from Clusia. | once had the honor of meeting you briefly at the international
piano competition in Mysonma. 1 benefited greatly from our conversation, and | never expected to see you again
in such a way.”
Bryan studied him for a moment, recalling the encounter. He remembered meeting Zion a few years ago when
he had impulsively agreed to be a judge at the international piano competition. Zion had represented Clusia and
asked him a few questions. Bryan thought the young man was promising, so they chatted a bit. He had heard
that Zion had developed quite well since then.
Bryan, kind and unpretentious, smiled warmly. He replied, “I remember you, young man. How do you know this
girl? Are you thinking of apprenticing under her as well?”
Zion did not know how to respond to that. He had caught onto Bryan’s use of ‘as well”. Zion wondered, Who else
wants to be apprenticed under Yvette? And why did Mr. Brooks think | wanted to? He was at a loss.
If it were the mysterious pianist, Dulcem, who had risen to finternationally three years ago with an original
composition, he might want to be her apprentice. But Yvette was not Dulcem.
The audience could not hold back any longer. They had just heard Bryan ask if Zion wanted to be Yvette’s
apprentice. That had to be the most absurd joke. How was that possible?’ they thought,
Bryan, hearing the commotion from the video, realized there were quite a few people on Yvette’s side. “What's
going on. Yvette? Where are you?” he asked.
Yvette took the phone from Zion's hand and replied, “It’s nothing I'm hanging up now
Bryan quickly said, “When will you cand visit me?”
Yvette's expression softened, and after a moment's thought, she replied, “Maybe when there's a chance”
Bryan looked visibly disappointed but knew Yvette did not like to be pressed. He repeatedly said, “Don’t put it off
too long. Make sure you find tto cby.” He reluctantly ended the call.
Yvette pocketed her phone and glanced at Ruby, whose face was full of despair.
“Let's go.” Yvette said
