The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 416

Everyone froze for a moment, then turned around to look.

Jasper stood a short distance away, wearing a half-smirk that bordered on mockery.

“So, someone with nothing but a middle school diploma, who’s spent five years as a housewife, can suddenly be hyped up as a genius violinist? Is that all it takes to be called a prodigy these days?

Honestly, the power of the internet these days is unbelievable. Even total nobodies can be dressed up as goddesses.

People online are so easy to fool, aren’t they?”

His words sent a ripple through the crowd; curious, skeptical eyes turned to Stella.

“Just a middle school education?”

“Wasn’t she a housewife for five years?”

“Seriously? I watched her performances online and she seemed genuinely talented…”

Jasper caught the murmurings and lifted his chin with disdain.

“Plenty of pop stars can autotune their live shows. A video performance—what does that really prove?”

The crowd erupted at his insinuation.

“So the videos were edited? That’s a problem. The contestants we invite are supposed to compete against international musicians. The finals will be broadcast live. We can’t afford to be embarrassed on the world stage!”

Antoney’s expression darkened at the commotion.

He fixed Jasper with a cold stare. “Mr. Wilkinson, is it really so gentlemanly to insult a lady in front of everyone?

Do you even know Star? Are you really so sure she only finished middle school?”
