Chapter 169 Yep , Calliope has never performed anything before .
She probably cant do anything ! So , shes just a pretty face .
Tsk , tsk , shes hiding in the corner , not coming out .
No wonder the Jewell family parents dont like her .
The room buzzed with murmurs .
Disdain filled their eyes as they glanced at Calliope .

Calliope heard them but chose to ignore their words .
Portia was fuming , her fists clenched tightly , while Archie looked ready to stand up and start a fight .
But Calliope held Archie down , her face calm and composed .
After Lisette finished her piece , a few women turned to Calliope , taunting , Ms.
Lisette has performed .
Wont Ms.
Calliope show us something ? Yeah , right .
Ms.
Lisette can play the piano .
Can Ms.
Calliope do anything ? Come on , Calliope ? What can she do besides getting into fights ! * Tsk , tsk , it seems like shes got no talent .
Lisette is impressive ! Ms.
Calliope probably doesnt even know what a piano is , huh ? Calliope , arent you going to perform ? Calliope knew these women well .
They were Lisettes entourage .
They relished in mocking her , always trying to put her down .
Every birthday party , it was the same old show .
But each time , Zelda would prevent Calliope from responding .
This year , however , she had no reason to refuse , especially since she had something prepared .
If everyone wants to hear me play , I suppose I can give it a shot .
Calliope stood up , making her way to the piano slowly and deliberately .
Lisette watched in shock .
She assumed Calliope would avoid the situation like always .
Her eyes narrowed slightly .
But it didnt matter , because what could Calliope possibly play ? When Lisette learned various skills , Zelda tried to make Calliope learn too , but she was never interested .
So she never learned anything , she wasnt good at anything .
Zeldas face turned ashen as she saw Calliope heading to the stage .
She was exasperated , pulling Calliope aside to whisper , Have you lost your mind ? What are you doing ? You dont even know how many keys a piano has ! Not only will you embarrass yourself , but youll also bring shame to the Jewell family .
Calliope , Ill cut ties with you if you dare to touch the piano ! Calliope glanced at Zelda indifferently .
Sure .
Ignoring Zelda , she approached the piano .
Lisette held onto Zelda , whispering , Mom , maybe we should let Callie try .
Maybe shes learned something recently ? Shes too dim to learn anything ! Zelda fumed .
Shell only disgrace us ! Unnoticed , Ulysses had also approached Calliope , glaring at her with clenched teeth .
What are you doing up there embarrassing us ! Chapter 169 Calliope acted as if she hadnt heard him .
She adjusted her position , looking out at the crowd , a slight smirk on her lips as she pressed the keys .
Just as Ulysses was about to grab her hand , she began to play skillfully .
The melodious tune filled the hall .
And Calliope played the same piece Lisette had performed earlier .
Moonlight Sonata was known for its high difficulty and challenging for most to master .
Lisettes performance was commendable , but it lacked a certain finesse .
However , Calliopes rendition was startlingly perfect , leaving the audience in awe .
The entire hall erupted in surprise , followed by a deep silence as everyone listened intently .
