After the prelude ended, Valeria’s pipa tune blended in with the melody as Richard's flute also joined in.
The performance was flawless, and the audience was stunned.
At the end of the song, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"William Howard! Gosh! It was him who played the piano!"
"Didn't someone say that Mr.Howard doesn't play these kinds of things ? I don't believe that he can
play the piano like that without ten years of practice. Other than that, Mr.Clark is also capable of so
many things.He formed a band back when he was in school."
"I've always thought that Michael was only good in court, but I didn't expect him to also be proficient in
music.He can play the flute! F*ck!"
"Miss Brown too! She's beautiful and also good at playing the pipa.With so many handsome men being
her accompaniment, what a brag!
"Miss Brown has a good relationship with Miss Clark.I suppose he did this for his sister's sake."
"What about Mr.Howard? What's he in this for?"
"He's doing it for the woman! Can't you see how beautiful Miss Brown looks tonight? Everyone knows
that Mr.Howard loves pretty girls."
"But wasn't Mr.Howard with Miss Anthony..."
Someone reminded them about William and Paisley's dance.
"I don't know.Both Miss Anthony and Miss Brown have their own merits.If I were him, I wouldn't be able
to choose either"
The crowd burst into a heated discussion about the gossip.
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Ashley's face was gloomy.
"The people here probably don't know about what happened between William and Valeria, huh?"
She wanted to interrupt to say that they had already broken up, and he chose Paisley in the end.
However, William accompanied Valeria on stage.
Who would be foolish enough to help their ex girlfriend steal his current girlfriend's spotlight? She could
only suppress the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
When Paisley heard everyone say that she and Valeria had their own merits and it was difficult for
William to choose between them, she was so mad that her eyes were filled with anger.
She came from an honorable family and she was known for her beauty.
How could Valeria be compared to her? Only then did Valeria realize that William had gone up to
accompany her.
She was shocked to the core.
What the hell was he up to? Wasn't he afraid that Miss Anthony would be jealous? She looked at him
with a complicated expression, but he put his hands in his pockets and left.
When she got off the stage, her mind was full of questions.
Abbie came over and grabbed her hand, "Valeria, how was it having three handsome men accompany
you.Are you satisfied?"
"Why did William go up to the stage as my accompaniment?"
"It was originally Marcus, but he had a call to answer at the last minute, so William took his spot"
Abbie laughed happily and said, "Forget about it.Let's get ready for the dance.I think you'll get first prize
for sure today!"
"I don't want to get my hopes up.Don't forget that Paisley's piano was also very impressive.
"This is just for fun.You're not being professionally judged.I think having the three handsome men as
accompaniments really added bonus points for you, so you'll definitely make it to the top"
Abbie was very confident.
Valeria shook her head with a smile.
Abbie was too confident anyway.
Many couples went up to perform for the following dance performances.
Among the dance genres like tango, rumba, chacha, and samba, Ashley chose chacha because she
didn't have a male partner.
In order to show off her sexy figure, she wore a very short skirt and put in all her effort for the dance.
Her movements were very provocative.
Her skirt flew up when she was turning, and her underwear was flashed at the audience, which
triggered a round of applause.
When she heard the applause, she danced even more passionately.
Valeria was about to dance the rumba, but she changed it to tango after seeing Ashley.
After Ashley was done, she attracted a lot of people's attention.
Seeing her ooze with sexiness, a few lecherous young men at the gathering gave her their greetings
after she got off stage.
She was really proud of her performance and even flirted with several of them.She didn't care about
the prize anymore.
As long as she got to hook up with someone here, she wouldn't be wasting her time.
Paisley wanted to dance with William.
However, the dance she chose was tango and it was a difficult arrangement.
She was afraid that William would not be able to keep up with her, so she chose to dance with Hardy
instead.
The brother and sister were in perfect sync with each other and they won a round of applause from the
crowd.
After the dance, Paisley habitually searched for William.
Again, she was let down.
He disappeared again like the time she played the piano Paisley had a bad feeling in her heart, "Will
William and Valeria get back together again?"
With this worry in her mind, she continued to search for him but to no avail.
Her attention snapped to the center of the dance floor when the music started playing along with the
audience's cheering.
Paisley was stunned at the sight.
Valeria, who was in the center of the dance floor, looked enchanting and gorgeous in the red dress she
had on.
The mere action of Valeria sweeping her hair to the side caused an uproar in the crowd.
On the other side of the dance floor, a masked man in a knight's clothing entered the dance floor to the
beat of the music.
The crowd went crazy instantly.
Valeria spun around beautifully as the man reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Then, he gently held her by the waist and spun her around again.
As the man put his hand on her waist, Valeria was a little confused, "William?"
The man ignored her question.
After the rotation, he gently let her go.
The two danced to the music with perfect harmony.
The onlookers were stunned.
Richard slowly walked out from a corner of the hall and saw William swirling Valeria in his arms.
A smile crept up on his face.
William hadn't been so charming in years.
He was really surprising Richard today! He raised his hand to applaud, and the onlookers began to
applaud to the rhythm of the song.
William completed the last move with Valeria in his arms.
As the music stopped, he took off his mask and revealed his handsome face.
"Amazing!" Marcus applauded.
"William, you're too charming today!"
Michael shouted, along with the screams and cheers.
After the dance had ended, William did not let go of Valeria’s hand.
She felt like she was dreaming amidst the crowd's cheering.She didn't think this was actually
happening.
Why would he dance with her? What was the meaning of this? Wasn't he afraid that Paisley would be
jealous? She looked at William and realized that her hand was still in his.
Subconsciously, she looked at Paisley.
Even from far away, Valeria could feel the coldness in Paisley's eyes piercing through her.
She quickly pulled out her hand away from William's.
The charming smile on his face disappeared as soon as she pulled away.
He didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
Paisley's heart was full of anger, but when she saw how William left Valeria behind, she felt a little
relieved.
It was just a dance.
It seemed that William was not as close to Valeria as she had imagined.
Next to Paisley, Hardy's expression was the same as ever, but he looked at William with a scrutinizing
gaze.
He thought that William wanted to flirt with Valeria when he replaced Richard to dance with her.
However, when William turned around and left without hesitation, he wasn't clear of his intentions
anymore.
No matter what, if William wanted to steal her away from him, he wouldn't have the ability to do
