Translator: 549690339
After Kevin made the phone call, he called for someone in his courtyard to send him a few goldfish, and then he returned to the living room.
When he returned to the living room again, everyone was glued to the TV.
Except for Hugo, whose face was livid, and he gave Kevin a cold glance before turning back. Everybody else’s attention was drawn away by the television.
On TV this time was another scene of Daisy Zane’s performance.
Her makeup was still done by Kevin.
A family of experts watched an amateur’s performance.
Kevin sat down on the side without disturbing them.
After a while, this scene was over, and the camera focused on someone else. Natalie Wayne said, “This girl is really good. Even though she’s an amateur, she must have put in a lot of effort. It’s hard for a professional like me to find fault.’
“Right, right.” Hardy Clark nodded in agreement, “I first saw this clip online, and then watched the entire show. She’s really serious and did a long scene with no stand-ins for the long shots. She’s really great.”
“Yes, she has a solid foundation in dance.” Natalie Wayne commented, “She’s truly talented, and not inferior to Hardy in any way. I wonder how her singing is. ”
How is her singing?
Kevin had never heard Daisy sing. But her voice was pleasant, so her singing should be good as well.
“If only we had met her earlier, we could have taken her as a disciple.” Natalie Wayne lamented.
“I heard that Lucia… ” Hardy swallowed the word “Daisy” before continuing, “Sister Lucia is from Cold Green Village. Our family’s poverty alleviation project includes that place. If only each year when we went there for inspection we had looked for her. Maybe we would have met her earlier.”
“Has she always been in Cold Green Village?” Natalie Wayne asked, “Her dance foundation seems to have been learned from a young age.”
Kevin blinked. The origin of the little girl was still a mystery.
“I’m not sure about that.” Hardy said, then picked up the remote control and rewound the video, “Let’s watch it again.”
Natalie looked at her, “You seem to really like her.”
“Yes.” Hardy smiled, “I’m a fan of hers. Grandmother, you seem to like her too.”
“I have a good impression of her. It’s a pity she’s not fated to be part of our family.” Natalie hesitated for a moment before continuing, “But, this girl’s background is not good, and it’s really not suitable for our family.” Hardy suddenly froze upon hearing these words.
“Mom, since when have you started being concerned about a person’s background?” Kevin asked his mother.
“Isn’t it because of all the messy affairs in your Clark family?” Natalie said casually.
“Ah…” Elina, who had been quietly watching TV, reacted immediately and held Natalie’s hand, “It’s my fault for causing trouble for Mrs. Clark.”
Natalie looked at her and smiled gently. Although her face already showed signs of time, her eyes were forever so bright. A gentle smile beamed with tender charm.
In those days, a singer from humble beginnings was hardly considered respectable. Although she had many admirers, marrying into the wealthy Clark family was an unreachable dream.
Natalie’s own family was poor and had many children with her being the youngest. Unable to support her, they sent her to Theatre Garden to learn opera at a very young age.
Later, she met a good master who not only taught her opera but also reading, writing, and traditional medicine.
However, a poor opera singer got little respect.
Elina’s pursuit of her led to many rumors and gossip. Even after she married into the Clark family, she had to deal with many of Elina’s scandals.
There was also the condescension from the people in the Clark household, superficially respectful, but full of mocking behind her back.
Fortunately, Natalie had a strong hand, and based solely on her own capabilities, she put everyone in Clark Manor in their place and secured her position as Mrs. Clark.
So, better than anyone at the scene, she understood what kind of trouble an ill-reputed public figure would face if she married into the Clark family…
Natalie watched the scene with Hardy once more, then suddenly said, “Hardy, haven’t you noticed this girl’s acting in this scene seems to have the shadow of Jane Chester?”
Jane Chester is Senior’s name. Senior’s last name is Chester, her first name,
Jane.
After hearing this, Senior’s breath hitched for a moment: “Really?”
“Indeed.” Hardy Clark suddenly realized too, “Even that habitual little movement is the same.”
Senior:
Daisy Zane didn’t know much about Peking opera and hadn’t been learning for long. But her advantage lay in her excellent memory. So in a limited amount of time, she completely replicated Jane Chester’s movements.
Maximizing their similarity.
So even the movements that belonged exclusively to Jane Chester’s personal style were learned as well.
“She must have learned it by following Auntie Jane’s video.” Hardy Clark said.
“Very likely.” Senior replied immediately.
Tom Wayne glanced at her, then back to the TV. He knew his apprentice best. Something was off about the girl, and she was hiding something from them.
Arthur North also noticed Senior’s nervousness. He glanced at the entrance and then stood up: “Senior, I’m going out. I’ll take you back on my way.”
Senior immediately stood up: “Alright. It is getting late.”
“Where are you going at this hour?” Elina Clark frowned.
Arthur North smiled and said, “I’m going to make efforts to add a new member to our family.”
Arthur North was referring to the effort of courting a wife, while Elina Clark heard it as Arthur North creating a grandchild for him.
“If you really love her, marry her sooner.” Elina Clark said, “Don’t bully her before you’re married.” Arthur North:
“Did you hear that?”
“Do I look like that kind of person?”
Elina Clark looked him up and down: “You sure do. You don’t look like a good person.”
” Arthur North looked at his mother, hoping to find some comfort.
Tom Wayne said, “Your father is right.”
Arthur North: “……” Was that really his image?
Arthur North took the goldfish and sent Senior home. Then he immediately drove to Daisy Zane’s place.
When he arrived, Daisy Zane was in the living room, drawing on a tablet.
Hearing footsteps, she turned to look. Her gaze first landed on the half-baked cheese in his left hand, then on the fish in his right hand. She paused for a moment and said, “Charles Amos is asleep.”
“That’s fine.” Arthur North walked over and placed the half-baked cheese in front of her. “He’ll see it as soon as he wakes up tomorrow morning.”
Daisy Zane glanced at the half-baked cheese and said, “What? Bribing me to give you a cheaper rent?”
Arthur North smiled, went to put the fish in the bathtub, and then walked back. He leaned down to kiss her first and said, “I do want to bribe you. But this is a
freebie.’
Daisy Zane gently raised her eyebrows: “So where’s the actual bribe?”
“Me.” Arthur North whispered, “Would seduction work?”
Daisy Zane looked into his eyes, her phoenix eyes gradually deepening: “That depends on Third Master’s sincerity.”
Arthur North moved closer to her again, his long, narrow eyes filled with deep affection as he drawled, “Whatever type of sincerity you want, I can provide..”
