SWNOVELS Chapter 3 Three Years Have Passed. You're Finally Back.
Charlie was really despicable!
He knew she was a fake. Why did he still have to show her off?
She didn't care about meeting his so-called friends. She just wanted to quietly be Vivian's shadow, like before.
Seeing her face full of indignation, Charlie raised an eyebrow lightly and asked, "What's wrong? Don't want to go?"
He did it again!
Did he just threaten her?
"Heh..."
Nancy calmly withdrew her hand from his palm and smiled slightly, "No problem."
Charlie's deep eyes narrowed suddenly, as if he was evaluating, scrutinizing.
Nancy stood there calmly, allowing him to look at her.
After a moment, Charlie chuckled. His big hand gripped her slender waist, "Don't disappoint me."
...
The banquet was held at the most luxurious club, Heaven on Earth, in City Nustin.
When Nancy entered grandly, holding Charlie's arm, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Young Master Firth! Ha-ha, three years, you're finally back."
The crowd immediately surrounded him, complimenting Charlie repeatedly, but their eyes fell on Nancy.
Nancy smiled as she looked at them, showing no signs of nervousness.
After chatting and laughing with them, Charlie introduced the woman by his side, "This is my wife." "Ha-ha..."
Ben Thomas was the first to laugh and said, "We know, we know, this is the famous pianist Vivian Mirren, right?"
"Yeah, how could we not recognize such a big star?"
"But why do I think she looks more beautiful privately than on camera?"
"That's for sure! Those stars can't even recognize themselves after putting on heavy makeup. Young Master Firth's wife must be a natural beauty even without makeup!"
Each mention of pianist and big star stabbed at Nancy's heart.
For tonight's banquet, she had specifically asked the makeup artist to recreate Vivian's usual look. She already had a similar face shape to Vivian, just with different features. With the makeup on, she could pass for her about 80% of the time.
Unless it was someone who was particularly familiar with Vivian, most people wouldn't be able to see the difference.
Nancy endured the pain and embarrassment, smiling as she nodded to them in greeting.
Stars had always been arrogantland artists were even more so.
Seeing how approachable Nancy was, their impression of her improved significantly.
Their confidence got boosted too.
"Young Master Firth, we've always admired Mrs. Firth's prowess in piano. She became a piano virtuoso at such a young age. I wonder if we have the honor of hearing Mrs. Firth play a piece live tonight. It would be a warm welcome for you and a chance for us to broaden our horizons." With the first person leading, the rest followed suit.
"Right, Young Master Firth, at the wedding three years ago, you left in such a hurry. Mrs. Firth has been hidden by you all this time. Now that you're finally back, you should let your friends have a glimpse of Mrs. Firth's elegance!" "What Mrs. Firth?"
Ben glared at them fiercely, "Call her Lady Firth!"
As soon as they heard that, everyone immediately started calling her Lady Firth respectfully.
Hearing their words, Nancy's heart tightened. She turned to look at Charlie for help.
After all, she wasn't Vivian. Wouldn't it be obvious if she went up and played a piece?
With a low laugh, Charlie suddenly turned his deep gaze to her. As if he didn't see her pleading eyes, he smiled and said, "Vivi, since they're so interested, why don't you go up and play?"
In an instant, Nancy's mind exploded. She stood frozen in place...
