Chapter 235
After the prelude ended, Paige's pipa tune blended in with the melody as Aiden's flute also joined in. The performance was flawless, and the audience was stunned.
At the end of the song, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"Joseph Dawson! Gosh! It was him who played the piano!"
"Didn't someone say that Mr. Dawson doesn't play these kinds of things? I don't believe that he can play the piano like that without ten years of practice. Other than that, Mr. Cook is also capable of so many things. He formed a band back when he was in school."
"I've always thought that Michael was only good in court, but I didn't expect him to also be proficient in music. He can play the flute! F*ck!" Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Miss Anderson too! She's beautiful and also good at playing the pipa. With so many handsome men being her accompaniment, what a brag!"
"Miss Anderson has a good relationship with Miss Cook. I suppose he did this for his sister's sake."
"What about Mr. Dawson? What's he in this for?"
"He's doing it for the woman! Can't you see how beautiful Miss Anderson looks tonight? Everyone knows that Mr. Dawson loves pretty girls."
"But wasn't Mr. Dawson with Miss Anthony." Someone reminded them about Joseph and Paisley's dance.
"I don't know. Both Miss Anthony and Miss Anderson have their own merits. If I were him, I wouldn't be able to choose either."
The crowd burst into a heated discussion about the gossip.
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Sophia's face was gloomy. "The people here probably don't know about what happened between Joseph and Paige, huh?"
She wanted to interrupt to say that they had already broken up, and he chose Paisley in the end.
However, Joseph accompanied Paige on stage. Who would be foolish enough to help their ex-girlfriend steal his current girlfriend's spotlight?
She could only suppress the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
When Paisley heard everyone say that she and Paige had their own merits and it was difficult for Joseph to choose between them, she was so mad that her eyes were filled with anger.
She came from an honorable family and she was known for her beauty. How could Paige be compared to her?
Only then did Paige realize that Joseph had gone up to accompany her.
She was shocked to the core.
What the hell was he up to?
Wasn't he afraid that Miss Anthony would be jealous?
She looked at him with a complicated expression, but he put his hands in his pockets and left.
When she got off the stage, her mind was full of questions. Abbie came over and grabbed her hand, "Paige, how was it having three handsome men accompany you. Are you satisfied?"
"Why did Joseph go up to the stage as my accompaniment?"
"It was originally James, but he had a call to answer at the last minute, so Joseph took his spot", Abbie laughed happily and said, "Forget about it. Let's get ready for the dance. I think you'll get first prize for sure today!"
"I don't want to get my hopes up. Don't forget that Paisley's piano was also very impressive."
"This is just for fun. You're not being professionally judged. I think having the three handsome men as accompaniments really added bonus points for you, so you'll definitely make it to the top," Abbie was very confident.
Paige shook her head with a smile.
Abbie was too confident anyway.
Many couples went up to perform for the following dance performances.
Among the dance genres like tango, rumba, chacha, and samba, Sophia chose chacha because she didn't have a male partner.
In order to show off her sexy figure, she wore a very short skirt and put in all her effort for the dance. Her movements were very provocative.
Her skirt flew up when she was turning, and her underwear was flashed at the audience, which triggered a round of applause.
When she heard the applause, she danced even more passionately. Paige was about to dance the rumba, but she changed it to tango after seeing Sophia.
After Sophia was done, she attracted a lot of people's attention. Seeing her ooze with sexiness, a few lecherous young men at the gathering gave her their greetings after she got off stage.
She was really proud of her performance and even flirted with several of them. She didn't care about the prize anymore.
As long as she got to hook up with someone here, she wouldn't be wasting her time.
Paisley wanted to dance with Joseph.
However, the dance she chose was tango and it was a difficult arrangement. She was afraid that Joseph would not be able to keep up with her, so she chose to dance with Hardy instead.
The brother and sister were in perfect sync with each other and they won a round of applause from the crowd.
After the dance, Paisley habitually searched for Joseph. Again, she was let down. He disappeared again like the time she played the piano.
Paisley had a bad feeling in her heart, "Will Joseph and Paige get back together again?"
With this worry in her mind, she continued to search for him but to no avail.
Her attention snapped to the center of the dance floor when the music started playing along with the audience's cheering.
Paisley was stunned at the sight.
Paige, who was in the center of the dance floor, looked enchanting and gorgeous in the red dress she had on.
The mere action of Paige sweeping her hair to the side caused an uproar in the crowd.
On the other side of the dance floor, a masked man in a knight's clothing entered the dance floor to the beat of the music. The crowd went crazy instantly.
Paige spun around beautifully as the man reached out to grab her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he gently held her by the waist and spun her around again.
As the man put his hand on her waist, Paige was a little confused, "Joseph?"
The man ignored her question. After the rotation, he gently let her go. The two danced to the music
with perfect harmony.
The onlookers were stunned.
Aiden slowly walked out from a corner of the hall and saw Joseph swirling Paige in his arms. A smile crept up on his face.
Joseph hadn't been so charming in years. He was really surprising Aiden today!
He raised his hand to applaud, and the onlookers began to applaud to the rhythm of the song.
Joseph completed the last move with Paige in his arms. As the music stopped, he took off his mask and revealed his handsome face.
"Amazing!" James applauded.
"Joseph, you're too charming today!" Michael shouted, along with the screams and cheers.
After the dance had ended, Joseph did not let go of Paige's hand. She felt like she was dreaming amidst the crowd's cheering.
She didn't think this was actually happening.
Why would he dance with her?
What was the meaning of this?
Wasn't he afraid that Paisley would be jealous?
She looked at Joseph and realized that her hand was still in his. Subconsciously, she looked at Paisley.
Even from far away, Paige could feel the coldness in Paisley's eyes piercing through her. She quickly pulled out her hand away from Joseph's.
The charming smile on his face disappeared as soon as she pulled away.
He didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.
Paisley's heart was full of anger, but when she saw how Joseph left Paige behind, she felt a little relieved.
It was just a dance. It seemed that Joseph was not as close to Paige as she had imagined.
Next to Paisley, Hardy's expression was the same as ever, but he looked at Joseph with a scrutinizing gaze.
He thought that Joseph wanted to flirt with Paige when he replaced Aiden to dance with her. However, when Joseph turned around and left without hesitation, he wasn't clear of his intentions anymore.
No matter what, if Joseph wanted to steal her away from him, he wouldn't have the ability to do it.
