Still, pin-drop silence prevailed in the venue, and not a single soul spoke up to bid on the Invincible Piano.

Meanwhile, something in Barbara's head clicked as soon as she realized who the child in Alena's wallpaper was. And with that realization, an inexplicable anger gripped her.

It turned out that Jeff, the legendary singer, had hidden the fact that he had a child from the public.

Although Jeff and Alena would get married in a few months, they already had a child!

Though Barbara had never considered herself a fan of Jeff, she suddenly felt deceived at this moment.

Even though Jeff had never concealed the fact that he was in a relationship with Alena, Barbara couldn't accept this.

It gave her the perfect reason she needed to resent Jeff.

Judging from the look of desperation on Alena's face, Barbara could see that the reason Jeff was putting the Invincible Piano on auction was probably for the kid, Were Jeff and Alena planning to send their child to the Pill Alchemist Association?

They had to be!

The entrance exam to be held by the Pill Alchemist Association next month was enrolling not only those youth of the association but also gifted children globally. This was a special examination held by the Pill Alchemist Association.

If a child could successfully pass the exam, they would be able to study in the Pill Alchemist Association from a young age. When they grew up, as long as they passed the level test of pill alchemist, they could directly obtain the formal membership of the association.

Barbara knew this because this was exactly the process she had been through.

As a child, she had been sent to the Association of Healthcare Professionals by Mrs. Jenkins. After reaching a certain age, she had been qualified as a fourth-grade healer. At the same time, she had also become an official member of the association, which allowed her to enjoy certain benefits.

Humph! Jeff's idea was not bad, but unfortunately, no one cared about the damaged Invincible Piano, which meant that Jeff wouldn't be able to secure a seat for his son to attend the examination of the Pill Alchemist Association.

Thinking of all this, Barbara snickered to herself. In truth, she thought that Jeff and Alena deserved such a fate for having a child before marriage and even hiding it from the public.

By this time, Maria had returned to her seat. She turned to Alena, who was sitting next to her, and asked indifferently, “The boy on the wallpaper is the son you have with Jeff, right?"

For a moment, Alena panicked. But looking into Maria's clear eyes, she realized there was not a single trace of malice in her question.

“Well... Yes." Biting her lower lip, Alena admitted that she had been hiding the truth from everyone for so many years.

“Actually, this is an old photo taken two years ago. He's already in kindergarten now. We wanted to give Edwood a good environment to grow up in, so we didn't tell anyone about him. That's why we even decided to postpone our marriage until now."

The truth spilled out of Alena like a river, as if she was relieved to finally have someone to talk about it with.

A proud smile appeared on her face subconsciously as she talked about her son.

“The thing is, Edwood has a natural inclination to be a pill alchemist. The Oracle Stone of the Cooper family told us his talent level is grade five and above. Jeff said that even if he can't restore the Cooper family to its original glory, he won't let Edwood's talent go to waste and he'll try his best to give our boy a promising future

Despair crept back into Alena's face as she glanced back at the stage.

“Selling the Invincible Piano is the best bet that we have. But to restore it to a reasonably decent condition, Jeff spent almost all his earnings over the last few years.
