Chapter 263 Special Guests
The host came on stage and tried to cover up the awkward situation Kyla had caused. Then he made an announcement.
“Tonight, we have two very famous and special guests joining us at this orientation party! They’re not students at Orica University, but in the music world, both in Cetherland and around the world, they hold very important positions. Everyone knows their names and respects their work.”
Tilda blinked in surprise. Special guests? At this party? She remembered everything about this orientation party from her previous life. Back then, nothing like this had happened. It was only Kyla nailing her performance, and everyone was just praising her. After that, the other performances went on.
Una’s eyes lit up with excitement as she whispered, “Wow, Tilda, who are these special guests? They must be huge stars.”
“I’m dying to find out too,” Tilda said. She narrowed her eyes. She wasn’t faking interest; she really wanted to know. This was way off-script from what she expected after being reborn. She only hoped it wasn’t something that would cause her trouble.
Once the host walked off, the stage curtain fell. Stagehands hurried to change the setup. When it opened again, two men in tuxedos were standing on the stage. Both men were really tall, about six-foot-two, slim, and looked super classy in their suits. One had short hair, while the other had his parted in the middle. They looked a lot alike—sharp eyebrows, long eyelashes, and cool, attractive lips. Every move they made was effortlessly handsome.
Still, their eyes were different. One man’s gaze was soft and warm, while the other’s eyes were cold and quiet. Just from their aura, you could tell one was gentle, while the other felt distant. Even with such different personalities, it was clear they weren’t ordinary people. They gave off the kind of presence that made them stand out from regular people. And they looked familiar. Almost everyone at Orica University had seen that face before. But who exactly? Nobody could say for certain!
On stage, it wasn’t only those two special guests. There was also a double piano. As the name suggests, it was two pianos placed side by side. It looked like they were about to perform a duet.
Tilda’s eyes went wide. Why… why were those two here?
Some audiences had no clue who they were, but others figured it out.
“Oh my gosh! Isn’t that Justin Jenson, the one who just won the Best Newcomer Award at the International Piano Competition? He’s doing a world tour right now. He’s the third son of the Jensons!”
Someone blurted out, “Ah! Now that you say it, I remember! I can’t believe I didn’t recognize my idol right away. Anyone who plays piano knows Justin. He’s super famous in Slosa.”
“No wonder he looked so familiar to me. He really does look like Wade!”
“And that other guy standing next to him… he looks a lot like Justin too. Is he from the Jensons as well? I honestly have no clue who he is.”
“I heard many of Justin’s piano songs were actually written by his fourth brother, Kayden Jenson. He is a top music producer in Cetherland! A genius composer!”
Everyone was talking and whispering excitedly. Una shot Tilda a worried glance. She didn’t think the orientation party at Orica University would bring Tilda’s third and fourth brothers here. And it was obvious why they had come. They were definitely here for Kyla!
“I’m fine, don’t worry, Una.”
Noticing Una’s worried gaze, Tilda smiled gently. Since she had already given up on her family and cut ties, she didn’t feel hurt by anything they did anymore. She decided to just watch like it was a drama and see what Justin and Kayden were planning.
Meanwhile, Kyla was still crying hard backstage, but when she heard Justin and Kayden were at the party, she froze. She looked up, her eyes red and puffy, staring at the live broadcast.
On stage, under the bright lights, the two men sat down at the piano benches. It was Justin and Kayden!
At that moment, Wade walked over to Kyla.
“Wade, what’s happening? Weren’t Justin and Kayden still overseas?”
Wade explained, “They came back a week early and told me not to tell anyone. They wanted to surprise everyone, especially you, Kyla.”
Even though Wade didn’t know how to face Kyla because of Tilda, he couldn’t just watch her stay so upset. As her brother, he had to step in. He needed to calm her down and help her out of her sadness. After all, Kyla and Tilda were both daughters of the Jensons. They were his sisters.
Hearing Wade say this, Kyla was overwhelmed with emotion. She covered her face and sobbed quietly. So this was what it felt like—to be a princess rescued by her prince? After messing up her musical performance and being compared to Tilda, Kyla had become the joke of everyone there. She felt completely hopeless.
