Chapter 1294:

โ€œWouldnโ€™t this be better suited for Pearceโ€™s mom? Why give it to me?โ€

Felicia chose not to elaborate, simply pressing Elyse to accept it. Elyse hesitated, her gaze flickering to Pearce, who gave her a subtle nod of encouragement. At last, she relented, slipping her hand away from Feliciaโ€™s grasp without further protest. Felicia exhaled a sigh of relief, her smile growing eager.

โ€œElyse, why not come home for a while? The garden is blooming beautifully this time of yearโ€”it would do you good to see it.โ€

Elyse paused, carefully measuring her response. โ€œIโ€™ve been up to my ears in work, Grandma. Iโ€™ll have to check with my agent, but Iโ€™ll try to swing by for a meal soon.โ€

Pearceโ€™s brows furrowed in confusion. โ€œAn agent? Youโ€™ve hired one already? Are they any good?โ€

Chloe, standing discreetly behind Elyse, cleared her throat and stepped forward. โ€œIโ€™m Chloe Jones, Elyseโ€™s agent. You can rest assured sheโ€™s in good hands.โ€

Felicia gave Chloe a once-over before turning back to Elyse, her concern evident. โ€œOnly one agent? That hardly seems enough! Let me find a few assistants to help. Youโ€™ve got so much on your plate, and I want to make sure youโ€™re looked after properly.โ€

Elyseโ€™s lips quirked into a wry smile, her tone light but firm. โ€œGrandma, Iโ€™m working, not running a royal court. I donโ€™t need a whole entourage fussing over me.โ€

Feliciaโ€™s face fell ever so slightly, her disappointment plain to see. She couldnโ€™t help but reflect on her granddaughterโ€™s fiercely independent spirit. The Benson family had wealth in abundanceโ€”surely Elyse could stay home and savor lifeโ€™s comforts instead of pushing herself so hard. Felicia struggled to understand why Elyse willingly subjected herself to the grind, working under othersโ€™ expectations and whims. Yet, she swallowed her thoughts, unwilling to risk upsetting Elyse.

Chloe, checking her watch, leaned in and whispered softly, โ€œItโ€™s almost time. We should prepare.โ€

Elyse nodded, then turned to her family with a polite smile. โ€œExcuse me. I need to take care of something.โ€

Felicia tilted her head curiously. โ€œWhat are you up to, sweetheart?โ€

Pearce, aware of the eveningโ€™s schedule, leaned closer and whispered, โ€œGrandma, just wait a little longer. Youโ€™ll see.โ€

Felicia muttered a few words under her breath but refrained from pressing further.

Moments later, the lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only a soft ambient glow. A murmur of curiosity rippled through the hall as guests exchanged puzzled glances. Then, a spotlight cut through the dimness, illuminating a single figureโ€”Elyse, poised gracefully with a violin in hand.

Chloeโ€™s clear voice echoed through the microphone. โ€œLadies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us at Elyse Lloydโ€™s welcome banquet. To express her gratitude, she will now perform a special piece for you.โ€

Elyse closed her eyes briefly, letting the world fade away, and drew her bow across the strings. The melody began, tender and heartfelt, each note weaving a tapestry of emotion that captivated the audience. . . .
