Chapter 154:
Seemingly frustrated, someone else exclaimed, “Ugh! Why am I sitting next to someone like this? He’s completely ruining my mood!”
“You’re not from our school, are you? If you’re here to watch the show, you’d better keep quiet or leave quickly. Don’t think your presence is essential for us to enjoy this.”
Even Tristan, who was just sitting next to Phillip, felt embarrassed as he heard the rebuke and ridicule from the people around him.
Tristan shifted his seat away from Phillip without thinking much about it.
Phillip was taken aback by the crowd’s mockery. He hadn’t expected this kind of reaction from them.
Thus, he pulled back quietly and chose to say nothing further.
Meanwhile, his jealousy grew as he observed the situation. He wondered how Ashton could have become so popular in just a few days.
Phillip noticed that many in the crowd were holding up LED boards with Ashton’s name, resembling a scene from a concert. Although Phillip stopped arguing outwardly, inwardly he was scoffing at the spectacle.
Seeing Ashton’s popularity only fueled his anticipation. He thought to himself that the higher Ashton rose, the greater his fall would be.
This was the challenge Ashton was now facing.
Phillip was convinced that Ashton would embarrass himself during his performance.
Eagerly, he looked forward to witnessing the crowd’s reaction to Ashton’s failure.
Ashton’s performance was undeniably the highlight of the evening’s show.
Every journey starts at gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s﹒𝒸о𝗺
University students had been buzzing with anticipation, and guests from various social circles had converged on the event, all eager to witness the spectacle promised by Professor Stewart’s protégé.
Thus, when Ashton stepped onto the stage, a wave of cheer erupted from the audience.
Though Phillip remained silent, the sneer plastered across his face spoke volumes.
No matter how overconfident Ashton appeared, Phillip was certain he would soon make a spectacle of himself.
However, things didn’t go as Phillip had expected, unveiling a jaw-dropping scene.
Ashton took his place at the piano, beginning his performance after a brief moment of poised preparation.
Under Ashton’s deft touch, the piano came to life.
The song “Invisible Wings” was masterfully adapted by Ashton into a soul-stirring piano solo.
The sound was dynamic and melodious, as if touched by magic, soothing the minds of everyone present and drawing them into a captivating realm of piano music.
The previously clamorous venue fell silent the moment Ashton began his performance.
As the choir joined in, their voices, now rich and resonant, harmonized beautifully with the enchanting piano, creating a breathtakingly perfect melody.
