Chapter 17 (2/2)

Although Elena was a little unhappy, she still agreed and turned to ask.

“What gift did you bring me, Weiss?”

Elena’s original intention was to tease Weiss. He was only the chairman of Changhong Group and didn’t have much money to prepare gifts. Moreover, Changhong Group was in a difficult situation recently and everyone knew that.

Weiss didn’t waste any time and took out the Heart of the Ocean that had been forged into a necklace from his wrinkled pocket with a greasy hand.

It had to be known that Weiss spent 160 million to buy this sapphire. The Metropolitan Auction House was not careless and directly hired a master to make it overnight. The material of the chain was made of the best alloy, ensuring the comfort of the wearer.

Elena was stunned at the sight of such an exquisite necklace. The blue gem glowed in the light. It was hexagonal, with blue light flowing through it like transparent blood.

It was obviously a rare treasure.

Those who had participated in the auction immediately recognized the Heart of the Ocean. After all, such a pure and huge gem was rare. Or rather, not many people had seen it before.

They began to whisper among themselves. Naturally, Elena knew. She said to Weiss.

“This gift is too valuable. This—”

Weiss waved his hand. This was prepared for Elena. If he didn’t give it to her, who would? Besides, he didn’t need it.

The young man behind Elena was livid. He knew this kid, the chairman of Changhong Group.

However, compared to his own family, it was not just a small matter but he could not lose the demeanor of a noble.

So he moved between Weiss and Elena and said to Weiss.

“Mr. Weiss is so handsome and rich. I think he can play the piano well. Why don’t we have a competition?”

He knew that Weiss was born a commoner, so how could he have the time to learn piano, a skill that required both money and time. He wanted to make it difficult for Weiss.

One had to know how long he had prepared for today. In the end, his limelight was snatched away by Weiss, making him lose all face.

The upper families of New York knew that he was courting Elena. If they knew that he couldn’t even compare to a poor kid, he would become the biggest joke in New York.

Weiss was a little stunned. He only wanted to have a good meal. Why were there so many things to do? Moreover, he had Top-Level Piano Skills. This person wouldn’t stand at gunpoint, right? Just as he was about to refuse, Elena quickly stood up and said.

“I know how you feel, James. How can Weiss compete with you when he’s never learned piano?”

The young man knew that he had achieved his goal. He only said.

“Elena needs to let such people know the gap between herself and a true noble. Otherwise, people will have thoughts that they shouldn’t have.”

Then, he turned around and walked to the crystal piano.

Wayne was talking to the old man beside him.

“Is your Gawain family so petty?”

Wayne’s tone was cold. This was his daughter’s birthday party, not a place for these people to show off their family backgrounds.

The old man next to him didn’t mind. He chuckled and said.

“The younger generation is just fooling around. Does Master Wayne not even have this bit of confidence?”

Wayne knew that this farce would probably not end. He also wanted to see what capabilities Weiss had to make Elena fall for him.

In the blink of an eye, James had already walked to the piano seat and started playing.
