After carefully dressing up, Samantha made her way downstairs. And at the same time, instructed someone to bring Sloane down as well.

Hearing this, Sloane rolled her eyes. Samantha really had not learned her lesson, still daring to show off in front of her.

Well then…

“Let’s go.” Sloane closed her medical book and stood up.

At the piano, Samantha was already seated gracefully.

When she saw Sloane coming downstairs, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes.

Her fingers lightly brushed across the keys, playing a string of beautiful notes, yet her gaze was full of provocation as she looked at Sloane.

Most of the guests around were enchanted by Samantha’s performance, their voices rising now and then in admiration.

Sloane leaned against the stair railing, quietly watching Samantha’s display.

During the time she had been back, she had indeed witnessed Samantha’s hard work. She had spent countless days and nights locked in the practice room.

She did have some talent.

But to be hailed as a future piano master, as the Rivers family claimed?

Far from it.

When the piece ended, applause erupted from the crowd. Samantha slowly rose to her feet, a radiant, proud smile on her face.

She glanced toward Sloane and suddenly spoke up, “Sloane, it’s your birthday today too. Would you like to perform a piece?”

Back then, when the Rivers family decided to keep Samantha, they had claimed to the outside world that Samantha and Sloane were twins, and indeed, they had been born on the same day.

Otherwise, when the nanny switched the babies, no one would have been so slow to realize.

Shane, a suitor of Samantha’s, sneered and said loudly, “I heard that Ms. Rivers grew up in the countryside. She’s probably never even seen a piano. Having her play would be torture. How about letting her demonstrate farming instead?”

A few guests burst into laughter, while others, wary of Mason’s presence, only dared to snicker behind their hands.

As for Mason himself?

He could not have been happier to see Lucas’s fiancée humiliated. The more disgrace, the better.

Marshall’s face darkened. “I told you to keep her upstairs!”

Helen’s expression was equally sour. “I did have someone guard her. How was I supposed to know she’d get out?”

Samantha was secretly thrilled, though on the surface she feigned concern. “Sloane, everyone’s just joking around. Don’t take it to heart. But since today is our shared birthday, it would be a bit wrong if you didn’t perform something.”

Sloane swept her gaze over the entire hall, lifted her chin slightly, and looked at Samantha. “You’re sure you want me to go up?”

Samantha, confident that Sloane had no talents, felt even more triumphant. “Of course! Sloane, it’s a perfect chance for you to shine!”

The corners of Sloane’s lips curved into a faint, nearly imperceptible smile as she strode steadily toward the stage.

Seeing this, Samantha immediately asked, “Sloane, are you going to play the piano

too?”

“I don’t know how,” Sloane answered calmly.
