Chapter 13 Mysterious Woman
“Alright. Let’s all quiet down and enjoy Miss Lynwood and Blake’s… ‘Good Night’.”
Elspeth strolled toward the piano while the crowd settled down. When the intro sounded, Blake was shocked as he was not expecting her to know how to play the piano at all.
Following that, he focused his attention and began to sing. Neither had the two rehearsed the song or partnered up for a duet and yet their chemistry was undeniable. As Blake looked over at Elspeth in the black dress with the microphone in his hand, many loved that scene!
In the meantime, Ophelia was beaming. “I didn’t expect Elspeth to be this good at the piano. It seems like she should be above Grade Eight. Plus, they look good together, with one singing and the other playing!”
Despite her words, her heart was filled with hatred. This stadium was the property of Fleming Group, so it was easy for her to tamper with the lucky draw session. Her original plan was to have Elspeth make a fool of herself on stage, yet she did not expect this…
While listening to her words, Callum’s eyes were once again fixed on Elspeth. Her wavy hair was casually let down and she looked mysterious yet stunning under the bright light, which made him curious to know more about her.
Yet, for some reason, she and Blake standing together on stage became an eyesore to him. Do they look good together? I think not.
After the song ended, the crowd applauded. Then, Elspeth went to the bathroom after leaving the stage and she was met with a woman in brown dress at the entrance.
The woman was wearing a mask, which covered her face, but she exuded an elegant and noble temperament, just like what one would find in the wife of a rich man.
“You’re Elspeth, am I right? I really like your piano piece. This is for you.”
While saying that, the woman gave her a delicately wrapped-up tulip, which stunned her. She then received the flowers in confusion. “Do you know me?”
“No, I don’t. I just really liked your performance. I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye.” The woman turned around and her eyes were filled with obvious sadness.
Meanwhile, Elspeth was still frozen in her spot. As she looked at the bouquet, a strange feeling began to arise inside her.
Two hours later, the concert ended. Elspeth, Ophelia, and the other Winthrops left together while Theodore and Margot were still at the Winthrop Residence, preparing for their son’s birthday dinner.
After the candles were blown out, everyone brought out their prepared gifts.
Although they were a wealthy and noble family, the atmosphere at the Winthrop Residence showed that they were a close and harmonious family. Meanwhile, Elspeth also calmly took out the gift she had prepared.
Thanking all of them, Blake began unboxing his presents. There were villa ownership certificates, expensive watches, yachts, and many other luxurious things.
When it was Elspeth’s turn, she gave him a box that was neither big nor small. Everyone knew that she did not buy anything today and assumed that she might have just chosen a random item for a gift.
As such, Blake half-heartedly opened it but was instantly shocked.
It was a microphone from the brand Lare and the only one produced in the world. This microphone had previously appeared at an auction, but it was bought by a mysterious person for ten million. Since he had missed the auction, the microphone had been on his mind for a very long time and he tried all kinds of ways to buy it off that person at a higher price, but he never found the buyer.

Feeling doubtful, he asked, “Is this fake?” However, he knew at a glance that this was not a replica! With an excited tone, he confirmed with her. “My gosh, Elspeth. Is this really for me?”
Elspeth nodded. It’s just a microphone. What’s there to be so excited about? Ignorant brat.
“Where did you get this?” Blake asked curiously.
“I’m good at playing the piano, and the person who bought it knows me and gave it to me, hoping that I would join the entertainment industry someday. But, as you know, I can’t sing, so I’m giving it to you.”
After casually making up a reason, she continued, “Happy birthday. I’m worn out, so I’ll head upstairs and rest.”
Everyone was, once again, shocked by her. It seemed like all their presents were not as close to Blake’s heart as hers was. It was also then that the others began to see Elspeth in a new light. At first, they thought she was all looks, no talent, and uneducated. However, after spending these few days together, they found that she seemed different from what they had imagined.
