Chapter 25: Why Not Use Money to Solve the Problem?

Before long, Sebastian’s phone rang with an urgent tone. As soon as he answered…

“Sebastian! I couldn’t find any trace of that piece. It must be newly composed. Where did you get this sheet music? Is the composer still alive?”

Hearing his friend’s frantic tone, Sebastian’s mouth twitched slightly.

“She’s perfectly fine, so stop jinxing her!”

“Sebastian! Ask her if she has sold the rights to that piece. I’m willing to pay, whatever it takes! As long as she’s willing to sell!” The voice on the other end was eager.

Sebastian was speechless. “Aren’t you being a bit vulgar?”

For people like them, who pursue the highest realm of music, talking about money felt crude.

There was a brief silence on the other end before his friend conceded, “You’re right! My bad! Then just give me her contact information. I’ve also just finished composing a piece; maybe we could trade?”

Someone who could compose such a piece couldn’t possibly be in need of money, right?

“I’ll ask her.” Sebastian chuckled.

“Sebastian, I’m counting on you! If this works out, I’ll owe you a big favor. Oh, and see if she has any other compositions, I’d love to have them all!!”

Sebastian ended the call with a smile.

Chapter 25: Why Not Use Money to Solve the Problem? Finished.

To see his friend so eager to recruit Olivia’s talent was a testament to how remarkable her sheet music truly was.

When Sebastian returned to the music room, his gaze toward Olivia had softened even more.

“Young lady, I haven’t had the pleasure of learning your name.”

“My name is Olivia,” she replied.

Sebastian nodded slightly.

“Here’s the thing: I just sent your sheet music to a friend of mine who’s also quite accomplished in music. He’s very impressed with your work. He’s a composer too, and he asked if you’d be willing to trade compositions with him.”

Olivia was speechless.

Did she need more music compositions? No, she needed money!

An exchange of musical compositions for musical compositions? Absolutely superfluous!

However, after a moment’s thought, Olivia responded, “There’s no need to trade. If your friend is truly interested, I’ll gift the sheet music to him after our performance is over.”

Sebastian’s eyes lit up.

“Thank you. Since you’re preparing for a performance, and I happen to have some free time, if Isabella comes to practice, this old man can give her some pointers.”

This was exactly what Olivia had been waiting for!

Instead of exchanging music, why not use this favor to secure a top-notch mentor for Isabella?

Chapter 25: Why Not Use Money to Solve the Problem?

“That would be most kind of you, Mr. Sebastian.”

Finished.

With their agreement sealed, Isabella, who had just hit the jackpot, felt her heart pounding.

This felt like a dream! She never wanted to wake up!

Under Sebastian’s guidance, Isabella’s piano skills improved by leaps and bounds in just one day. Her talent also earned Sebastian’s admiration.

Although Sebastian hadn’t yet mentioned taking Isabella as his apprentice, Olivia was confident that he wouldn’t let such promising talent slip through his fingers.

Since it was still early, Olivia dragged Isabella to a high-end custom dress shop.

Meanwhile, back at the Wilson family home…

Alexander sat on the couch, his long legs crossed, eyeing the grinning Michael across from him.

“What brings you here?”

Michael smirked, “Don’t be so cold. You’re always flying around the world, and it’s rare to catch you at home. I thought I’d drop by and reconnect.”

The Smith family and the Wilson family had been close for generations, and Michael and the Wilson brothers had practically grown up together. Among all of them, Alexander was the first to get married.

However, they’d all heard that Mr. Liam of the Wilson family arranged Alexander’s marriage. Even though they had been married for six months, Alexander had never mentioned his wife to them as if she didn’t exist.
