Chapter 1416

Eunice spilled the beans with a gleam in her eye, "Your darling granddaughter, she's none other than the world-renowned piano

virtuoso—Melody"

Belinda and Darren were thunderstruck, frozen in awe before a cascade of compliments tumbled out.

"I'll simply adore Melody's piano pieces, Belinda gushed towards the end, her excitement palpable. "Especially when she releases a

new track. I'd listen at home, in the car, first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. | can't get enough, | really can't!"

"Remember your grandma's birthday? | was dying to have Melody play at our house, cost no object, just to see her perform live for

her. But Melody was nowhere to be found. The folks at the Piano Association said they couldn't reach her. And now, my precious

granddaughter is Melody herself!"

Darren was overwhelmed with surprise and joy. If only they had found Melody sooner, perhaps their reunion with their treasured

granddaughter could have happened earlier.

"We must celebrate! We've got a miracle doctor in the family, and a piano maestro to boot. Darling, we need to think of something

special to reward Bella with.” Belinda, in her exuberant joy, was already brainstorming ideas.

Arabella was about to politely decline when Eunice elbowed her, signaling not to miss this golden opportunity. They had to let

Serena hear straight from her grandparents what kind of reward a piano maestro deserves. It would keep Serena from getting too

cocky about her own piano first prize!

Arabella caught onto her aunt's "little scheme" and couldn't help but smile.

Though Eunice meant no harm, her words felt like a deep insult to Serena.

"At that auction the other day, didn't | win that tanzanite? Let's give it to Bella as a reward!"

When Belinda dropped this bombshell, Serena's face went pale.

Tanzanite was a thousand times rarer than diamonds, and the piece Belinda had won was of the rarest tanzanite blue!

They say the stone's magic lies in its ability to show a dazzling array of colors when viewed from different angles, even appearing

in different hues under varying light.

If Serena's memory served her right, that stone was won by Belinda for two million dollars. Belinda treasured it immensely, and

now to think she'd part with it so readily for Arabella.

"Well then, I'll give Bella the natural, wild pearl | won at the auction,” Darren declared generously.

Eunice chimed in with a smile, "Bella, your grandpa spent a good two million on that pearl. It weighs over 300 grams, so he's kept

it as a treasured possession, believing it brings good fortune. Now, he's giving it to you so freely, which means he's incredibly

proud and satisfied with your achievements."

Eunice paused to chuckle before adding, "And with the tanzanite your grandma's giving you, the value is quite significant."

Arabella hadn't expected her grandparents to be so lavish. The rewards amounted to four million dollars. She responded warmly,

"Thank you, Grandma, Grandpa, for your generosity"

"Silly girl, there's no need to thank us. It's the Griffiths and the Collins"

blessing to have such a remarkable child in our family"

Meanwhile, Serena watched as Belinda and Darren heaped praises on Arabella from start to finish, fuming with envy.

Just moments ago, her grandparents had rewarded her with gifts totaling a mere one hundred thousand dollars, but when it came

to Arabella, they didn't hesitate to present treasures worth four million!

The disparity was staggering.

Sure, Arabella was Melody, but did that really warrant such an enormous reward in one go?

It was blatant favoritism!
