The Claudia who had exhibited gentleness and quietude earlier appeared to undergo a transformation.

Ewing grappled with articulating his emotions. As Claudia played the piano, her demeanor retained its gentle tranquility, yet she exuded an unparalleled charm.

Following the musical piece, Ewing seemed to grasp why Mathews was captivated by Claudia.

Certain individuals were simply destined to be the moon in the sky. The moment she appeared, her radiance surpassed that of all other stars.

“Indeed, Patty can't hold a candle to her," Ewing commented sincerely.

At the mention of Patty, Miguel felt a twinge of distress. void discussing Claudia in front of Patty, or she'll become quite upset!

Ewing smiled and remarked, "If Patty possessed even half of Claudia's allure, she would have won over Mathews long ago.”

Speaking of the devil...

“Ewing!""

Patty's voice echoed from a distance.

Ewing glanced at Miguel, who appeared exasperated as he was suffering from a headache.

What brought Patty here?

Ever since the recent incident, Patty's popularity had plummeted. Moreover, she had been making irrational statements online, disregarding others’ attempts to dissuade her. The company intended to impose a six-month ban on her.

While the company stated that she could return to work once the commotion subsided, their true aim was to discipline her with the lengthy ban.

Miguel was well aware of the entanglement between Patty and Claudia. Consequently, he specifically arranged for Patty to be sent to another city while Mathews was holding a concert with Claudia as a special performer.

Against all expectations, Patty surreptitiously returned and directly barged into the rehearsal due to her status as Mathews' junior.

Confronted with Claudia on the stage, Patty wore a scowl.

“Ewing, why would Mathews invite her?"

Ewing was reluctant to be drawn into their quarrel.

“You should inquire with Mathews about that," he simply replied.

Following the opening song, Claudia descended the stage. Her second performance took place during the concert's midpoint.

As she stepped off the stage, Claudia secured the bottle of water from Joann's grasp and twisted it open. Just as she was about to take a sip, Patty came into her view not far off.

Expressing her discontent, Joann remarked, "What terrible Luck to run into her here!"

Without hesitation, Claudia drank the water serenely. "It doesn't matter. I'm just assisting Mathews today.”
