Hence, Timothy was a legend in the business circle and underworld.
“Holy shit! Boss, what’s wrong with you? How could we come to such a shabby place? I thought we
would go to a music hall. What kind of performance is this? Oh my gosh. My ears! Is she playing the
piano for real? Boss! I would go blind and deaf! Help!”
Kenneth followed Timothy, nagging in a harsh voice. All people in the hall heard his complaints.
Caroline, who was playing the piano, paled. Her hands started to tremble.
No one was listening to her now. All the audience stood up and looked at Timothy respectfully.
“Armand, do you have a tape? Let’s cure Mr. Keith’s problem.”
Armand lowered his head and snickered.
Kenneth covered his mouth in fear, casting a pitiful glance at Timothy. He dared not nag any longer.
Timothy was wearing his sunglasses, looking like a dandy, emanating a devilish aura. However, he
dressed up quite fashionably. Due to his nice figure, even the tight pants look sexy on him.
His nose bridge was straight. The curve of his lips was quite elegant. A few strands fell down, covering
his forehead.
The brown suit on him was unbuttoned, exposing the tight beige V-neck shirt inside. The shirt clung to
his body tightly, and the outline of his six washboard abs was evident.
On his thin but muscled waist was a casual bell.
He looked like an international supermodel in a show.
“Oh my gosh! Mr. Wheeler is super handsome. Oh, he’s amazing! My idol!”
Joseph pinched the curtain while standing backstage, drooling at Timothy.
The deputy mayor smiled at Timothy respectfully and humbly, leading him to sit on the seat in the
middle of the first row.
After Timothy sat down, others gradually sat down again.
Kenneth frowned while looking at the performer on stage, and his eyebrows were furrowed more
deeply. Gazing at Caroline’s face, he suddenly recalled something and yelled loudly, “Oh! I remember
her! This chick was the hideous rude woman who bullied the little girl the other day!”
Caroline almost had finished her piano solo. She quivered and missed a tune instantly.
All people on the scene gaped.
They couldn’t believe how Kenneth described this girl on stage.
He called her chick and said she was rude. He also said she was hideous.
After five seconds, some audiences couldn’t hold back their laughter, all laughing out in low voices.
Sure enough, Mr. Keith was still sharp-tongued and mean.
Timothy, who didn’t like talking too much and was known as a silent iceberg, suddenly nodded and
echoed, “Yeah. She’s the one with the most unsightly appearance among the three hideous women.”
All gaped again.
Three seconds later, the audience all burst into laughter.
However, Timothy and Kenneth, who started this, didn’t laugh at all.
Caroline couldn’t stand it any longer. She shed tears and hurriedly ended her performance. Then she
bowed in a hurry and escaped from the stage.
Due to the jests from Kenneth and Timothy, no one donated to Caroline’s show at all.
For a moment, the host of the sponsor was in a dilemma.
“Anyone donates for the program of the piano solo?”
...
After a horrible ten seconds of silence, Brook raised his hand trembly and said, “I offer twenty thousand
dollars.”
The host instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Great! Thank you so much for your
kindness, Sir. We appreciate your donation on behalf of the orphans.”
However, Brook frowned in hesitation.
He felt so sorry for his money— twenty thousand dollars!
He had planned to be the audience today instead of donating anything, but if no one donated for his
daughter’s performance. Caroline must be pretty upset.
He had to...
Brook’s hand that gripped Deborah’s was shivering. Deborah knew him very well. Patting his hand, she
comforted him. “Honey, it’s alright. We can earn those money back in the future.”
Brook almost burst into tears. Looking at Deborah, he nodded, his lips pursed.
Rylee found the place behind the curtain became so crowded. Everyone was peeping out.
“What are you guys doing here? Go back to work! Joseph, it’s our performance soon. Why aren't you
getting ready but standing here?” Rylee dragged Joseph away by pulling his ear
“Ouch! Let go! Let go! It hurts!” Joseph begged. “If I went deaf, you have to be my wife and be my ear
the rest of your life!”
“Don’t waste any time on bullshitting! Get ready! Now!” Rylee roared like a tigress while resting her
hands on the waist.
Joseph covered his ears. “You wicked girl! Don’t be so fierce! No one dares to marry you in the future.
Do you know who has arrived?”
“I don’t care, not even when the President of United States has come.”
“Girl! How dare you speak to me like this! Let me tell you. My master is here! My master!”
Rylee gaped. “Your master? Which one?”
Joseph rubbed his ear. “I’m such a proud guy. How many master have I admitted have? Only one!”
Rylee inhaled. “No way!”
Joseph pointed at the stage curtain.
Rylee strode over, dragged away the girls who were drooling at Timothy while peeping at him in secret,
and stood over to take a look.
“Jeez!”
She inhaled deeply.
The incredibly handsome man, sitting in the middle of the first row and accompanied by the deputy
mayor, was Mr. Wheeler indeed.
Rylee curled her lips. “Why is he here? Gosh! Why did this man come here to make trouble?”
“Hey! Watch your language! How can you say my master came here to make trouble? It should be all
your honors to have him here. All right?”
Rylee kicked Joseph behind her and roared, “Get away from me! You heartless butt kisser!”
She bit her bottom lip and peeped at Timothy offstage in anger, feeling so bothered.
She couldn’t help wondering why Mr. Wheeler had come here.
She wasn’t good at singing at all. If he heard her sing, he must laugh at her to death.
In the future, he would have another reason to mock her.
“Rylee!”
“Ah? Yes?”
“It’s your turn now. Hurry up and go!”
“Ah...”
Rylee pouted and walked to the stage reluctantly.
Swoosh!
The curtain was pulled open. Firstly, she saw eight handsome boys strike poses, one of whom was
Joseph.
They divided into two lines, and Rylee was shown with her back to the audience.
“Why did this girl have such an ugly shawl outside her dress?” Timothy suddenly said.
The deputy mayor heard it and titled his head to look at Timothy and then look at the girl on stage.
She gradually turned around, smiling at the audience. Then she started singing.
The deputy mayor raised his eyebrows, thinking this girl was way too pretty. No wonder President
Wheeler commented.
Kenneth widened his mouth. “Wow! Our girl is good at singing!”
Armand quickly pinched Kenneth’s arm.
He was secretly warning Mr. Keith not to talk nonsense again. Otherwise, Timothy would become so
annoyed and smash him.
Timothy kept silent with a faint smile, looking at Rylee on stage.
While Rylee started singing the second line, Timothy took off his sunglasses. His affectionate almond
eyes were glued on stage.
There was the sound of gasping among the obsessed girls.
Two girls backstage directly fainted. Someone exclaimed. “Help! Someone fainted! Doctor! Doctor!”
Rylee’s eyes twinkled. She had no guts to look at Timothy, but she still cast him a few glances from
time to time.
She didn’t know what she was singing. Anyway, she sang worse than usual.
Finally, she finished the song. Rylee bowed and was about to escape. However, among the applause,
Timothy suddenly asked her, “Who asked you to wear such a shabby shawl?”
The hall was blanketed by silence. All people gaped.
So did Rylee.
She couldn’t believe that Mr. Wheeler talked to her in public like this.
Timothy didn’t care what others thought. Gazing at Rylee, he was waiting for her answer.
Rylee’s lips parted, and she answered, “No one asked me to put it on. I decided to wear it myself.”
“It’s so ugly.” Timothy snickered.
Rylee was so pissed and yelled, “So what it is ugly? Who do you think you are? I like it. Humph!”
She decided not to talk to Timothy any longer.
Hence, after fishing yelling, Rylee pouted, turned around, and stomped away.
The deputy mayor was dumbfounded.
So was Brook.
How could this ignorant girl yell at Timothy?
She even asked him who he thought he was.
The deputy mayor blinked. Patting the chair, he stood up. “How rude! Who is this girl? She’s so
impolite! How dare she speak to Mr. Wheeler like this?”
Brook covered his left chest, trembling all over. He muttered in wheeze, “I’m so doomed! She has
offended Mr. Wheeler! My company is doomed...”
He didn’t care about what might happen to Rylee at all, but only cared about his company.
All the audience stiffened, thinking that Timothy would be angry and lose his temper right away.
Much to their surprise, Timothy chuckled and turned to Kenneth. He said, “Look. She’s good at talking
back.”
He looked gentle with a doting smile.
