Chapter 860
When everyone on the scene came back to their senses, they broke out into thunderous applause.
No one paid any attention to Alma anymore, and she was just a laughing stock through and through.
Some of the society ladies immediately swarmed around Maja on stage.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, you seem to be talented in everything you do. Now we see why Herbert values you so much.”
“My son needs a violin teacher. Could you possibly tutor him in your spare time?”
“Ms. Pennyfeather, we hope you can attend our tea party tomorrow. We would be delighted if you could come.”
A woman’s dignity was not given by men but fought for by herself.
If Maja were still depending on lan’s help tonight, maybe these people wouldn’t be so friendly towards her.
She waved with a smile.
“I’m really sorry, but my company has been quite busy lately.”
“That’s alright, we all know about your company. Feel free to reach out to us for future collaborations.”
Maja continued to wave at the crowd with a smile.

There were so many people around her, and some even grabbed her hand like they were family.
“You should attend more of these parties. We all thought you were only good at paint, but we didn’t expect your
violin skills to be so impressive.”
“There’s just too much going on at the company.”
“You should come more often, Ms. Pennyfeather. I’ll have my daughter learn painting from you.”
“Alright.”
There were too many people greeting her, and it took Maja a good ten minutes to squeeze her way to Shawn.
Shawn stood there, completely stunned, unable to snap out of his shock.
Maja quickly greeted Bruce.
“Bruce, do you think my performance was alright? I have to leave early now.”
Bruce held a glass of wine, smiling kindly at her.
“Now I seen why Herbert liked you. You’re composed and not arrogant. Good, I will have Shawn’s endorsement
contract sent over tomorrow. But Penny, I must say, this is Ford’s first time choosing a global spokesperson. We
can’t afford any negative news, so you must keep a tight rein on your artists.”
“I understand, Bruce.”
Maja exchanged a few more polite words with him, then started to head outside.
What she didn’t know was that lan, Fitch, Tyler, and Phelps were all standing by the garden path.
When everyone was making fun of Maja earlier, Tyler wanted to help but was stopped by lan.
“Take it easy.”
lan rushed back overnight, hearing that Maja was attending this party. He didn’t even adjust for the time difference
and was even an hour late.
He didn’t expect to see such a scene. He was proud of Maja but also felt uneasy.
He had just started thinking about pursuing her again, but Maja, like a finely cut ruby, suddenly shone brightly,
attracting everyone’s attention.
This was a terrible feeling for him.
Tyler was stroking his chin, deep in thought, then he said, “lan, I must say, you have pretty good taste.”
At least, Maja’s stunning performance on stage undoubtedly shocked everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMany people at the scene were still immersed in her rendition of The Trill of the Devil, Alma’s choice of song for
Maja was indeed quite fitting.
It touched people’s hearts instantly.
From today on, in everyone’s eyes, she was no longer just lan’s ex–wife but a talented artist.
Tyler gently nudged Phelps with his elbow.
“Phelps, what do you think?”
Phelps was dragged to this party, and now he could only look down.
“She’s outstanding, beautiful, and charming.”
Tyler quickly put his hand on lan’s shoulder.
“Since even Phelps thinks so, I bet many men here would think the same, and it’s rare to see a woman who can
play the song.”
Everyone here was not blind. They not only saw Maja’s musical talent but also her determination and her grace
under pressure. Even when her own performance outshone Alma’s, she didn’t turn around and belittle her.
Her victory was brilliant. Who knew how many hearts had been lit up by the light she radiated.
