CHAPTER 403

Hilbert’s question was very tricky and made Emily, who was praised to the high heavens by the crowd,

freeze. She stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds with a bewildered look. Why would Hilbert

suddenly be suspicious about this? Did I not perform perfectly enough, or did I play it wrong somehow?

Hilbert’s question was very tricky and made Emily, who was praised to the high heavens by the crowd,

freeze. She stood rooted to the spot for a few seconds with a bewildered look. Why would Hilbert

suddenly be suspicious about this? Did I not perform perfectly enough, or did I play it wrong somehow?

In the next second, she regained her composure and looked straight at Hilbert, her tone polite and

innocent as she asked, “Mr. Hilbert, did I play it wrong just now?”Hilbert frowned. “Did you not realize

that yourself?” Once Hilbert spoke, the banquet hall instantly became unusually quiet. Emily actually

misplayed? Why did they not notice it?“Mr. Hilbert, there are too many guests here tonight, and I was

very nervous, so if there was a mistake, please correct me!” Although Emily explained so, she was

inwardly in a state of panic. What was more terrible than making a mistake was not knowing where one

went wrong, as there would not even be an opportunity to correct oneself.“Mr. Hilbert, just now Emily’s

performance was perfect; how could it be wrong?”“That’s right; there were so many pairs of ears

listening, so the probability of her making a mistake was not high, right?”“If she made a mistake, we

would all hear it! We’re professionals too!”Hilbert put his hands behind his back and shook his head

with a light chuckle.Janet was struggling to hold Roxy back from rushing forward to speak out. Seeing

the crowd say so, Roxy, who treated music as his very soul, could not hold back any longer. He got up

and walked over to Emily. With a smile, he asked, “Miss Jackson, don’t you think you missed a note

just now?”“And you are?” Emily was startled by his appearance, which had suddenly interrupted her Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

thoughts.The crowd fixed their eyes on Roxy and marveled, “So it’s the popular singer Roxy!”“Why is

Roxy also here?” “Does Roxy mean that he also heard Emily play the piece wrong?”Emily looked at the

familiar face in front of her and realized that this was the famous musician, Roxy. She tried her best to

regain her composure and asked evenly, “Mr. Roxy, may I know which note I missed?”Although she

was questioned by two people in a row, she was not worried at all about the performance she had just

given. As a musician, one had to believe in oneself.Smiling, Roxy stepped away from the crowd,

walked to the piano, and sat down gently yet elegantly. The melody of the music piece slowly flowed

from his fingertips. It was inspiring and emotive, which was very different from Emily’s style. He

repeated the part that Emily had just missed, then slowly got up and smiled. “Mr. Hilbert, is this

correct?”The crowd held their breath, waiting for Hilbert’s answer, only to see Hilbert’s originally

furrowed brow finally relaxed. He nodded and said at once, “That’s right!”Emily stiffened violently. If she

said this was her original piece, but she couldn’t find the missing note, it would just be ridiculous to all

present! It was already absurd to say that someone else had found the problem when even she herself

hadn’t noticed it.The musicians in the audience all looked at Emily suspiciously, probing her for an

explanation with their gazes. Hilbert coughed dryly and said with a serious face, “So, this music piece is

not your original composition, right?”“Mr. Hilbert, this piece is indeed my original composition. But I

admit that I didn’t play it well today! I’m sorry!” Emily replied uneasily. It’s better to give a sloppy

performance than to admit it’s not my original composition. A bad performance is simply a temporary

malfunction, while the other was about the level of musical talent. For musicians like Hilbert, the most

important thing was the level of one’s musical talent. So, I will never admit that I’m talentless! On the

other side, Megan, Rebecca, and Chloe were seated in one corner. As all three of them were not

considered review musicians, they could not go near Emily for the time being. Megan felt a little

anxious inside as she looked at everyone surrounding Emily, and she couldn’t help but wonder what

was going on.
