My Billionaire Family 133 08:18 Sal, Di Chapter 133 Cherise's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise when she saw the person in front of her. She slowly said, "So, it's you. Madeline. You piano playing is impressive! You're quite a talent." Madeline beamed with joy as she replied, "Ms. Leach, you remember my name? That's wonderful! I thought you'd dislikeafter I questioned you like that in the first class. Cherise chuckled softly. "Of course, I remember all my students After speaking, she glanced at the piano behind Madeline and casually asked, "Have you considered signing up for Llain's piano selection competition?" Madeline looked surprised. "Huh? Me!" Cherise nodded.

T Madeline felt a thrill of happiness at Cherise's recognition but soon sighed. "I don't think I can. I don't have any certifications or awards, so I'd probably get kicked out in the first round of selection.

"Besides, there are so many good pianists out there. I don't stand a chance," Madeline shrugged as if she didn't care.

Seeing this, Cherise spoke gently, "How will you know if you don't try? Besides, you really play quite well. Madeline's eyes lit up. "Really? Do you really think so? "I do like playing the piano, but my parents wantto be a doctor, so I haven't studied piano formally. I don't even know if Fm any good.

"Alright, then I'll sign up just for the experience. This will probably be the closest I'll ever get to a piano competition "Later, when people ask, I can at least say I participated in the Clusia Pianists' Association's selection process. Even if I get eliminated in the first round," Madeline laughed.

Cherise looked at the optimistic Madeline with a warm smile. "Go ahead and sign up. You've got this!" Madeline nodded excitedly, said goodbye to Cherise, and then dashed back to her dorm to log in and register for the competition.

As soon as Madeline left, Cherise took out her phone and sent a message: [Keep an eye on a contestant named Madeline. She's got potential.] The other party replied almost instantly: [Noted.] Just as Cherise was about to put her phone away, Xenia's call cthrough. "Hey, Xenia, are you back?" Cherise started.

Hearing Cherise's voice, Xenia exclaimed, "Yes, I'm back, Cherisel The anconvention is finally over, and I just got back to Betrico. But I still have a few things to handle. I miss you so much!" Only then did Xenia remember why she'd called. "Oh right, listen to me. I was so happy to hear your voice, I almost forgot! "My uncle just called to say Dora is drinking at Ebb & Flow and seems to be in a bad mood. Do you know what's going on with her?" Cherise paused for a moment before replying, "No worries. I'll go check on her Flow by the bar, Dora wore fitted, rose-red mid-length dress that highlighted her curves. Her chic, short hair and 08:18 Sat, Dec Chapter 123 She sat gracefully on a high stool, revealing a glimpse of her smooth, delicate calf. With a specially crafted cocktail in hand. she took one sip after another, looking somewhat lost.

Men passing by couldn't help but stop, tempted to approach the seductive beauty, but each was blocked by Truman, who stood beside her.

He glanced at Dora and couldn't resist asking. "Ms. Xenakis, it seems something's bothering you. Did someone break your heart?" Dora glanced up at Truman, her expression indifferent, and remained silent. She took another sip of her cocktail and told the bartender, "Not strong enough. Bringa bottle of whiskey The bartender glanced at Truman next to her. "Boss, should I...

Truman tapped his fingers on the bar counter. "Just bring her a glass." Dora objected, "A whole bottle. I can afford it. I've got more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime. Are you worried I can't pay?" Hearing this. Truman took the whiskey from the bartender and placed it in front of Dora. "Ms. Xenakis, alcohol can numb the mind and dull the pain, but it's only temporary.

"If you're really heartbroken, lettell you, it's not worth it, because when you sober up the next daym you'll realize that person still isn't there, and all that remains is your own loneliness." Dora remained unresponsive, only letting out a slight, sarcastic laugh as she continued to drink, one glass after another Seeing Dora unmoved, Truman shook his head and walked over to a quiet corner. He dialed Xenia's number again. When she answered, he said, "Xenia, where are you? I can't stop her! "I'm tied up here and can't get away. Cherise should be arriving soon, Xenia replied on the other end of the line.

"What? Cherise is coming? Why didn't you tellsooner? Truman instantly tensed up upon learning that Cherise was coming, then hung up immediately.

He rushed to the service desk, put on a headset, and announced over the inteto all the Ebb & Flow staff, "Code Red Code Red! Clear out all customers except the lady at the bar. "The lady who performed on stage last twill be arriving soon Attention, all staff, especially new employees.
