Chapter 284:
Even Adriana forgot to bicker with her brother this time, completely caught up in the sheer spectacle.
Beside them, Myron lingered in the shadows, his lips curving into a subtle, knowing smile.
The crowd buzzed with astonishment, and online, where arguments had raged just moments earlier, the comment section exploded with admiration instead.
“Unbelievable!”
“She’s out of this world!”
“There’s nothing left to say that captures how I feel!”
“Watching her play the lyre was simply mesmerizing.”
For a moment, every heated argument faded into silence.
But that was only the opening act.
The night held far more surprises in store.
As the stage went dark again, Serena’s performance soared to even greater heights. Panoramas of distant lands appeared, painting the backdrop with scenes from another world.
Iconic moments from classic operas flickered across the screen, captivating the entire audience.
Then Serena reappeared, dressed in a sweeping gown that shimmered beneath the spotlights. Content originally comes from.net
A mask adorned her face, heightening the sense of drama, and she carried a violin with regal poise.
Serena drew her bow, and the violin burst to life, weaving an utterly spellbinding tapestry of sound.
As the song swelled, Vivian’s easy smile curdled into a strained grimace. They had all practiced together, but every contestant kept a personal trick up their sleeve— as long as it passed staff approval, anything went.
New chapters now on
With the semifinals underway, alliances had dissolved; there were no teams now.
Each person was out for themselves.
Jaw clenched, Vivian darted a covert glance around the table, then fired off a discreet message to Oakley.
“Didn’t you promise to talk to Napier and keep Charles in check? What’s happening? Why is there nothing wrong with the live stream?”
Oakley’s response came back swiftly.
“How would I know? I already told Grandpa about Charles messing around with Serena—about her getting pregnant, too. He was pissed. But after that mess with Millie, I tried again, and guess what he said?”
“What?”
“He just shrugged it off. He told me to focus on the company and stop bringing him any more dirt on Charles. I’m so fed up!” Oakley paced restlessly, frustration simmering beneath his skin.
He’d thought everything was locked down—Napier had always been eager to help, yet suddenly, the man was acting like none of it mattered.
