Sasha successfully turned everyone’s attention to her so-called sister. Everyone was

examining the woman named Sarah White skeptically.

They did not think she deserved to be a member of the elite family. She was nothing but

an impostor trying to live a life she did not belong.

Leah took a deep breath and walked toward Sasha with a smile. Once again, she stood on

the stage. She scanned the room and was relieved to find Han nowhere in sight.

“I don’t know how to play the piano,” Leah was nervous as she spoke into the microphone.

Sasha grinned triumphantly. Leah continued, “However, I do know how to play the violin.

Perhaps I could play a song for my father if that makes him happy.”

“Violin?” Sasha was shocked. Leah nodded, trying to gauge Mr. and Mrs. White’s reactions.

They seemed pleased and they looked at her anticipatingly.

Someone swiftly brought a violin to Leah on the stage. She slowly tuned the violin as she

tried to calm herself down.

The moment Sasha stepped down from the stage, she dropped her fake smile. She

frowned at her friends. “Did you tell her what I asked you to?”

The two women nodded. “Of course we did! However, she didn’t seem to mind.”

“Don’t worry about her, Sasha! I don’t think she can play the violin well. I’m sure Mr. and

Mrs. White will see through her lies and it is clear you are their rightful daughter.”

“That’s right! Ian will come to his senses and he will understand he belongs with you

sooner or later.”

While they were whispering, Leah was getting ready to perform on the stage. She closed

her eyes briefly and began to play. As the music started to flow from her fingers, she

became at ease.

She was in high school when she first learned to play the violin. Her music teacher was

impressed by her talent with the violin and she encouraged her to continue learning violin.

Leah did not stop playing the violin after marrying Han. In fact, his money had helped her

to pay for violin lessons for ten years.

On the other side of the mansion, Han had finally arrived at the entrance. A security guard

greeted him, “Welcome, Mr. Howard.”

“Has the party ended?” Han asked. The security guard answered politely, “No, the party is

still ongoing, Mr. Howard. I believe Mr. White is expecting you at the ballroom.”

Han nodded and he walked toward the ballroom. Even before he stepped into the

ballroom, he could hear music coming from inside. Someone was playing the violin. He

glanced up at the stage.

Wearing a light blue dress with her long hair let down, Leah was basking in the spotlight

on the stage. She looked stunning. Equally captivating was the way she was playing the

violin. Even someone who knew nothing about violin could tell she was impeccable with

the violin.

While everyone was surprised at how well Leah was playing the violin, Han sneered. He

recalled the first time he got to know Leah could play the violin. He was home early from

work and he heard her practicing her violin.

He remembered asking the maid who was playing the violin. The maid replied, “Mrs.

Howard practices her violin for about half an hour every day at this time.”

Han was amused. “Wow, I’m impressed that a bumpkin like her knows how to play the

violin.”

Leah got to know his reaction, and she never again played the violin in the house. Han

couldn’t care less; he wasn’t interested in her playing after all.

However, there was something different with the woman playing the violin on the stage

now. He continued to listen to her performance impassively.

Leah had finished playing her song. She slowly stood up and she was surprised to find Han

sitting among the crowd. Her blood turned cold. She fled the stage while everyone was

clapping for her remarkable performance.

“That’s the best violin playing I’ve ever heard! She is even as good as Sasha!”

“She is such a talented daughter!”

“If you look closely, Sarah looks similar to Mrs. White in her younger days.”

Sasha felt anger boiling inside as she heard people praising Leah. To her dismay, Ian was

approaching Leah with a charming smile.

“I’m impressed! You are playing the violin so well.” Ian complimented Leah. She smiled

and replied humbly, “I simply love to play the violin.”

“You are a talented woman.” Ian beamed at her. “You know what, I know someone who’s

looking for a violinist for his concert. If you are interested, I could introduce you.”

“Really?” Leah was surprised. “I would appreciate that.”

“Don’t mention it! We are friends. Do you remember when we were kids…”

“Ian, you’re here!” Sasha interrupted their conversation. Ian turned to look at her icily,

“Oh, Sasha. What do you want?”

“I’ve made some changes to my painting. Could you take a look?” Sasha was hopeful.

Ian glanced at Leah, unsure how to respond. Leah knew she had to say something.

“Please, go on with the painting. I think I need to get some rest now.” She was still weak

and she needed rest, so Ian left with Sasha to give her the space to rest.

Leah could not wait to leave. As soon as Ian and Sasha left, Leah turned to walk away but

was stopped in her tracks by the two women who made snide remarks about her earlier.

“You got lucky with your violin tonight, but you’ll never be able to replace Sasha.”

“If you don’t want to embarrass yourself further, you should leave now. Know your place,

bitch! You don’t belong with the White family.”

Leah was annoyed. These women thought they could hurt her with their words, how

pathetic. They should see how Han had been treating her all these years. He was so mean

to her she became immune to rude comments.

“I know my place very well, but do you know your place? I tell you what, you are in no

position to speak for Sasha. Know your place before you speak to me, you bitches.” Leah

said coldly.

“How dare you!” The two women’s faces turned red. Leah rolled her eyes, “Get out of my

way.”

Before she could push them aside, one of the women screamed and fell onto the floor. The

other woman immediately accused Leah of pushing them. “How dare you push her! She

did nothing but ask you a few harmless questions. Is this how you treat people?”

The noise caught the others’ attention. People began to surround them and they eyed

Leah suspiciously. Leah was confused and she tried to explain, “I did not push her.”

“If you didn’t push her, are you implying she fell on her own?” Han stared at Leah. He had

witnessed what happened between Leah and the two women, but he wasn’t here to help

Leah.

He put down his glass of wine. He was about to leave when someone spoke loudly at the

ballroom entrance. “So what if she pushed her?”
