Chapter 36 The Newcomers Welcoming Party (Part Two)

Fiona's face flushed a bright hue of red. Shaking her head to protest, she said in a panic, "I really can't do this. I don't even know what Ryan is going to play."

"Don't refuse us, Fiona!" someone said anxiously. "We can't ruin the whole party just because of a program!"

"Yeah, look, the program list is ready!"

"Yeah, Fiona." Ryan fixed his intense gaze on her. "I've been practicing for such a long time. Do you have the heart to just put all of that to waste?"

"Twenty minutes left before the party starts. Please go to the backstage for preparations. To the audience, please take your seats. The party's about to start. Please wait for a while before the party commences."

Suddenly, someone's voice rang in the hall. Fiona was pushed towards the backstage by several people.

"Hurry up! Put on some make-up on Fiona! Hurry! Dress her up so that she looks beautiful!"

"Sophia, I..."

"I believe you!" Sophia pressed Fiona's shoulder to sit her down.

This left Fiona no choice but to concede and change out of her clothes to get ready for the performance.

A few minutes before the party started, Spencer, along with a group of drillmasters, marched inside the hall effectively catching the attention of many girls.

"Wow, so handsome!"

"He's so cool!"

"Your seats are in the second row! This way, please."

"All right." Spencer nodded and followed the guide to his seat. He glanced at the hall but couldn't find Fiona anywhere. The hall was buzzing as thousands of people chatted amongst themselves.

The audience were waving their flashlights in excitement for the party to begin.

Some of the leaders of the university were also at the hall. As soon as they saw Spencer, they approached him with big smiles and chatted with him.

"Mr. Cheng, you're here! What are you doing in the second row? Come over here!"

"I wonder..."

Spencer frowned as he turned to the leaders. "I told you not to expose my identity in public. Go back to your seats!"

"All right." Embarrassed, they scurried back to their seats. Arms crossed across his chest, Spencer leaned back against his chair in displeasure. He scanned the hall once more to look for Fiona but to no avail.

When the clock struck six, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed as a voice suddenly came. "Now the party begins!"

The crowd buzzed with excitement

as music blasted throughout the hall.

Colorful lights danced in the stage

and beautiful girls on stage swayed their hips along with the music.

"Yeah!"

The hall was immediately filled with screams of support. The audience were pumped up.

Eric whispered in Spencer's ear, "Look! The you

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

t was going to jump out of his chest, his heart beating a mile a minute.

While he had no idea how he managed to return to his seat, he fixed his gaze on the interaction between Ryan and Fiona. His body stiffened as a realization came to him. He hadn't expected that Fiona and Ryan would perform together that night. The chemistry between them was undeniable.

Ryan and Fiona emitted strong sparks as they accompanied each other in playing beautiful melodies.

While Fiona could only slightly make out Ryan's figure standing in the middle of the stage, she couldn't deny the sudden flurry of emotions that came over her. At that moment, she felt as if Ryan was her confidant and her partner. This man knew her well—he cared about her and he promised he would protect her.

Ryan turned his head to look at her, exchanging faint smiles.

Fiona's smile was dazzling.

As Spencer watched the performance, he tightened his grip on his phone. In his annoyance, he suddenly dialed a number never removing his gaze from Fiona.

"Hello? Mr. Cheng?" The call was immediately answered.

"Inform the Civil Affairs Bureau to work overtime tonight. I'm pushing through with the marriage," he said slowly, gritting his teeth.

"But..."

"I'll be there in an hour. If I don't see the staff there, I'm destroying that place," Spencer said sinisterly.

With that, Spencer hung up the call without even waiting for a response. As the crowd cheered, he coldly watched as Fiona stood up from the piano and walked towards Ryan. Once again, they held each other's hands.

Under the dazzling light, Fiona and Ryan gave a bow before exiting the stage.

Spencer suddenly slammed his fists on the table causing the table to tremble. 'Fiona, let's wait and see,' he cursed inwardly.
