“Renee needs it give it to her
Jason was stunned
The banjo that belonged to Marcelo’s dad was off–limits but now he was allowing Renice okay it?
Jason knew that Renee and Marcelo’s marriage was arranged by his mother against his wishes.
He also knew his friend better than anyone.
Marcelo had never let anyone even a woman come close to him.
But why was he softening towards Renee?
Could he be falling for her?
This was starting to get interesting.
The water promptly returned,banjo in hand and presented it to Renee
That’s the one from the hall!” An onlooker immediately recognized the sacred banjo.
Just a short while ago,Catherine had taunted Renee asserting that the banjo in the hall was an antique meant for display only
Now, as Renee took hold of it,Catherine’s smugness seemed to fade, replaced by a sense of being publicly mocked
Catherine,masking her frustration with a forced smile,questioned the waiter.
“Isn’t that banjo usually off–limits to guests?
The walter nodded. “Usually it is.But the owner made an exception for Miss Renee, given her proficiency.”
The banjo,a prized possession overseen by Jason a titan in the entertainment industry, had never been lent out despite numerous requests.
Why w
was Renee being given special treatment?Catherine burn with jealousy.
“Renee, do you seriously think you can play the banjo?Playing the banjo is no easy feat. Don’t overestimate your abilities and bring more embarrassment to yourself. “Still upset that Renee was given the permission to play the banjo,Catherine lashed out
Hanes barely glanced at Catherine,then elegantly positioned the banjo on her lap her fingers gently touching the strings.
The initial notes rang out clear and melodic capturing everyone’s attention.

Its execution demanded exceptional skill and rapid hand movements.
Yet, Renee performed it with ease, as though it were a mere warm–up exercise.
Her gaze lowered her features radiating perfection and elegance, a spectacle for eyes and ears,
The audience was only jolted back to reality when Renee handed the banjo back to the water and offered her gratitude to him.
Even those not versed in music were captivated and enthralled by the quality of Renee’s performance
“Amazing!
“Absolutely beautiful!!
“Most talented lady I’ve ever seen!”
“She’s going to make a big name for herself!!
The crowd showered praised on Renee while Grace and Rocco were left speechlessly embarrassed.
Once again,their adoptive daughter had overshadowed their own biological child.
Catherine and Grace’s expressions darkened.
Since when did Renee play the banjo?
How was the able to play it that well?
Jason smirked and then replied. “You’re thanking the wrong person
I couldn’t believe it so I crawled
As it lowered Marcelo’s face came into view.
