Chapter 415 She’s Unbeatable
Genevieve’s chest tightened, her heart racing.
No way!
She never expected Tilda, who’d lived at the bottom of society before, could fit into the spotlight so perfectly.
Finished
Every little thing Tilda did carried a natural charm. If she hadn’t been born with it, how long did she take to build that kind of presence?
Genevieve knew she could never pull it off.
Worse, if Tilda played that piano piece here and now, Justin might start doubting Genevieve’s
story.
“Uh, I just remembered I need to tell you all something important. Can we step aside?”
Genevieve blurted it out, trying to pull attention her way.
But the Jensons ignored her completely.
Even Justin didn’t notice. He was already lost in Tilda’s presence on stage.
It felt like a knife to his chest–sharp, painful, yet awakening something inside him.
He’d seen that scene before.
But when?
The piano music began.
The melody itself seemed to answer the questions crowding his mind.
The second he heard those familiar notes, his thoughts jumped back to the very first time he’d watched that old video. That was when he first heard this incredible piece.
The rhythm, the style, and the way her fingers floated over the keys were alive.
The blurry memories spinning in Justin’s head suddenly snapped into focus.
But it didn’t make sense.
Why was Tilda playing this song? Did she memorize it after hearing it once?

Chapter 415 She’s Unbeatable
Or… had she always known how to play it?
Her music hit Justin deeper than Genevieve’s ever had.
The first time he heard Genevieve perform this piece, it only felt a little familiar.
Paired with her explanation, he simply assumed she had been the one in that video.
But Tilda was different.
She just sat there, and the music poured out of her.
The music felt like words that cut straight to the soul, echoing deep within.

Finished
Justin was dragged back to his darkest years–the hopeless nights when nightmares strangled him.
The very first time he heard this piece, it had been like a rainbow breaking through a storm. It shone through his window, lighting up his path forward.
It gave him hope again.
And now Tilda’s music was making him feel that same miracle.

How could she play that well?! No, something is wrong.
How could Tilda, who’d been missing from the Jensons for 19 years, outshine a genius like me?!
