Chapter 329 She’s Exerting Dominance Even Before Marriage

With his hands behind his back, Leo appeared aloof and intimidating as his black suit set off his fair skin.

Leo! Michelle dared not call his name out loud. She merely mouthed his name and gritted her teeth, tears almost rolling down her face.

When she came downstairs, Leo followed her from behind.

The reason she couldn't give up on pestering Amelie was to prove that she was better than the latter. She refused to be the losing party as it made her feel humiliated.

Watching the aggrieved look on Michelle's face, Amelie slowly returned to her senses.

I knew it! Michelle was the daughter of a wealthy family. How could she be willing to be a laughingstock without reason? Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Since Michelle did all that just to attract Leo's attraction, she decided to play along with her.

As if not noticing Leo, Amelie changed her expression and grabbed Michelle's hands. "Miss Walsh, you're right. The New Year shows are just pure entertainment. They aren't sophisticated events at all. I'm sure someone as excellent as you don't even enjoy watching them."

Her response took Michelle aback.

Upon hearing her compliment, Michelle immediately assumed that Amelie was mocking her.

The more she thought, the more eager she was to prove how excellent she was. Hence, she announced, "I'm not considered outstanding in my family, but at least I graduated from a prestigious Ivy

League university. Anyone who graduated from an Ivy League university is naturally exceptional. So far, no one I know of has graduated from an Ivy League university!"

Amelie was speechless at that.

Did all Ivy League university students behave like her? Did all of them look down on people and act almighty?

Was the Ivy League some kind of joke?

However, Amelie didn't forget her original intention. She purposely raised her voice in exaggeration and exclaimed, "Wow! Ivy League?! That's so cool! I can't compare to you, Miss Walsh. My university can't even get into whatever league in Corynthea. It is merely an ordinary university."

Michelle couldn't stifle a laugh upon hearing that.

That woman was indeed dumb. She didn't even seem to know what Ivy League was!

The guests who overheard Amelie laughed out loud as well.

Some thought she was being funny, but some carried the same thought as Michelle who assumed Amelie was ignorant.

Of course, Amelie heard their laughter, but she didn't care.

Others couldn't simply judge one's intelligence. What mattered most was one's own thoughts.

As if not understanding why the crowd was laughing, she continued, "Even though I studied at an ordinary university, I merely strove to graduate."

Back then, she was busy doing live broadcasts and establishing Starlight Media, so she didn't have to attend classes at all.

She could only make use of the two weeks prior to examinations to flip the untouched textbook and digest everything in a short period of time.

Nonetheless, she aced her exams every single time.

When she heard that Amelie narrowly graduated from university, Michelle was even more confident.

Raising her chin, she announced in a clear and loud voice, "Even though school was tough for me since young, I still managed to cultivate my other talents. I obtained a tenth-grade in piano, a professional qualification in violin, a membership in the Equestrian Association, a membership in the Business Club…"

She deliberately emphasized the word "professional" for fear that Amelie didn't know that there were professional and amateur levels in each of the extra-curricular activities that she had participated in.

After that, she continued naming all the other qualifications or memberships that she obtained.

Amelie almost wanted to clean her ears due to boredom.

"Why don't you perform a song for us on stage, Miss Walsh?" She pointed at the piano on stage and suggested.

This was a great idea for Michelle to show off her talents in front of Leo. However, Amelie merely mentioned that just to get away from her. She talks too much.

Tilting her chin upward, Michelle agreed readily. "Sure, if you want to hear me play."

She looked as if she was only going to play for Amelie out of pity.

After saying that, she made a beeline for the stage.

Finally! I managed to get rid of that annoying piece of gum. Amelie finally felt relaxed.

Suddenly, her stomach grumbled, a reminder that she had not eaten lunch yet after being occupied the whole day.

She was famished.

Ignoring Michelle's performance on stage, she strode toward the buffet table.

An array of delicacies was arranged neatly.

Although Amelie wasn't short of money, she wasn't extremely particular when it came to food. Upon seeing the delicate dishes on the table that resembled works of art, she couldn't help clicking her tongue.

When she walked over, a waiter lifted the lid for her.

Amelie then dished some food, took a seat, and enjoyed her meal.

The sound of piano music rang in her ears.

Amelie couldn't help tapping to the beat. She had to admit that Michelle played the piano very well. It did somehow stimulate her appetite.

When she was done with her meal, Michelle was still playing the piano.

Amelie couldn't help looking in the direction of the stage.

There seemed to be a crowd surrounding the area.

"What a pity." Amelie sighed.

This brat doesn't know that she shouldn't go overboard on certain things.

No matter how beautifully the piano was played, the music would only blend into the background after being played repeatedly.

At that thought, Amelie decided not to join the crowd and instead roam around the buffet area.

After turning a few rounds, she noticed a few glasses placed on the table.

Drinks were filled in the glasses, and the colors made them look vibrant.

However, the glasses were not filled with the same amount but in the shape of a ladder in ascending order.

Out of nowhere, she recalled videos of foreigners striking the glasses to produce sounds.

She then asked for a steel spoon from the waiter and tentatively tapped the glasses.

As expected, the sound produced was pleasant.

After trying a few more times, she realized that the glasses produced vibrant sounds.

Immediately, her mind was filled with a melody.

Narrowing her eyes, she hummed to the music and started playing around with the melody.

On the other hand, Amelie was right about the piano performance. After the crowd listened to a few more pieces, they started getting sick of it and dispersed.

Some walked over to the buffet corner, and when they heard the low humming of a woman's voice combined with the sounds produced by the glasses, they couldn't help feeling stunned.

Soon, they noticed a few waiters gathering around to watch, so they nosily went over.

"Woah. That sounds amazing!"

A few guests were surprised as they immediately recognized Amelie's fox mask.

They dared not disturb her and merely exchanged glances with each other.

As Amelie indulged in the music, she moved gracefully according to the beat of the melody as if she was already one with the music.

After she ended the song, she opened her eyes with lingering feelings still present.

However, the moment she opened her eyes, she was immediately shocked to find the space suddenly filled with a crowd.

It was not an exaggeration to say that there were three batches of guests around her.

When did these people gather around her?

Soon, the guests who were immersed in the melody earlier broke into a round of applause.

They looked at each other and couldn't believe that they had plunged deep into the music without realization. It felt as if their souls were being lured by Foxy's music.

What a magical feeling it was!

Amelie was at a loss for words. She couldn't help raising her head and glancing at the stage.

The crowd that was initially watching Michelle's performance was suddenly nowhere to be found. Michelle, on the other hand, was no longer playing the piano and was standing beside it instead. Even from afar, Amelie could feel her burning gaze.

Feeling as if Amelie's gaze was piercing through her, Amelie took a sharp breath and covered her face.

She was really just caught up in the moment and had no intention of diverting the audience's attention to her.

"She hasn't even married into our family, yet she seems to be exerting her dominance already!" The woman beside Brenda muttered as she glanced at Amelie in a mocking way.

Even though Brenda didn't utter a word, she bit her lip and appeared to agree with the woman's words.

Eunice, on the other hand, gloated.

She would only benefit if a dispute broke out between Scott Walsh and Theodore Walsh, the first and third son of the family.

She desperately wished the two families would get involved in a serious fight due to this incident.

Meanwhile, Minnie and Theodore stood slightly further away from the crowd. Both of them looked in Amelie's direction with heavy gazes but did not get close to her.

Obviously, they had mixed feelings about Amelie's current action.

On one hand, it meant that they had won against Theodore's brother, Bryan Walsh's family, but on the other hand, she was also deliberately causing trouble in public.

It was a complicated matter to deal with.
