Sharon couldn’t help but tremble in the room. I didn’t expect my identity to be exposed under such circumstances. It turns out that Gabriel really is my biological father.
Sharon carefully read the letter her mother had left for Levi. The first half explained why she hadn’t been there that day, and she said something about Levi’s future development. She also raised some opinions about design and music and gave Levi her blessings.
It wasn’t until the last third of the article that Sharon finally saw her mother mention her.
Lynn thought that what she had done was to make up for her willfulness. She thought that she had ideals and pursuits for music, so when she was denied and trampled on, she could only leave with her pride. She had been wondering if she had done the right thing.
The matter of leaving Gabriel with her child had always tormented Lynn. Her life was actually so difficult after leaving the Xavier family and Gabriel’s family. If it weren’t for her, Sharon would’ve had a very good, pampered life now.
Sharon’s tears still couldn’t stop flowing. Actually, she had never felt that her life was so hard— she even missed living with her parents for so many years.
“Your mother also said in her letter that she didn’t want you to expose the fact that you have absolute pitch. That’s the only way you won’t make the same mistake she did. She wants you to be able to live your own free life in a world that nobody controls.”
Levi crossed her arms and looked at Sharon. “But it’s obvious that your mother still knows you very well—you just confirmed the one in ten thousand possibility that your mother mentioned. Gabriel didn’t look for you, and you didn’t listen to your mother, exposing that you know how to play the piano. She only hopes that when such a situation really happens, I can take good care of you in her place. She knows that you’re a child with a very strong ego like her and that you’re very willful like her.”
Sharon’s tears fell on the letter. It turned out that mother had long known that I would find a way to vindicate her, and she also knew that someone would make things difficult for me. “Your mother said that if you are bullied and targeted, you must ask me to speak up for you. She said that if you really want to take this path, you will definitely know what kind of barrier you are about to face. But if you still want to continue, then she will give you the manuscript and the recording, as well as the recording and will that she gave you.”
“I was a terrible mother. All that was left for my daughter was what I was obsessed with and the stigma of being an outsider.” At this moment, Sharon was sobbing in Levi’s arms as she listened to the recording Lynn left behind.
“That’s why I treated you like that during the first public performance of the casting selection. It was because there was a photo of your mother in that stack of music scores; it was only then that I realized that you looked more like her than I thought. When I realized that you were called Sharon, I knew why her name on the Internet was ‘DS.’ This meant that she really loved your father.” Levi spoke very casually, but her eyes would turn red from time to time. But the moment she looked at Sharon, her tone was mostly comforting.
“It’s true? I clearly said that I wouldn’t cry again before I cleared Mom’s name, but Ms. Levi, don’t you know that Mom quit the industry back then?” Sharon tried her best to calm down. The sorrow in her eyes didn’t stop her from investigating this matter.
“I naturally know, but I think that’s all nonsense. You haven’t been in this circle for long, so you don’t know that Gabriel is the kind of person who will do anything for benefits! At that time, your mother and Quentin were both famous composers and piano artists. If your mother hadn’t been suddenly exposed, Quentin wouldn’t have her current status!”
Sharon nodded. She didn’t know what kind of person Gabriel was at all, but upon careful thought, her mother was the kind of person who was very immersed in the things she liked and didn’t have any desire to socialize. Therefore, for a long time, the media’s evaluation of her mother was that she was pretending to be noble.
When Sharon flipped through the past newspapers, she could see that Quentin often said that Lynn didn’t care about her at all back then, nor did she care about the invitations to movies and television dramas. She had a condescending feeling, but according to Sharon’s understanding of her mother, her mother was probably just in a daze or thinking about a song.
“Actually, according to the time, you happened to be four years old when your mother encountered these problems. Gabriel invests in movies and television dramas. Could it be that he forced your mother to film them, but your mother only wanted to focus on making music and was thus forced to death by Gabriel?”
