Cody paused in his signing, a momentary reflection gracing his features before he swiftly resumed. With a hint of
wistfulness in his gaze, he passed the notebook to Driscoll, remarking, “I never expected someone to remember
him.”
Driscoll smiled warmly. “My wife has vivid memories of him. She often spoke of the performance that propelled
you two to fame.”
Cody found himself fully submerged in his memories as those words reached him. That particular performance
held an unparalleled significance in his life. Without it, he realized he wouldn't be the person he had become.
“Who is he? Another violinist?” Elyse inquired, her curiosity piqued.
Cody snapped back to the present, nodding thoughtfully as he reached for his coffee. “We once learned from the
sinstructor. He was someone | both admired and hated.”
“Admired and hated?” Elyse echoed, puzzled.
Cody affirmed with a nod. “I hated his carefree nature despite his remarkable talent. He found joy in playing on
the street for anyone who would listen.”

Pausing, he softened his tone, a hint of nostalgia coloring his words. “But what | admired most was his
philosophy.”
“What philosophy?” Elyse pressed, intrigued.
“He believed music should be accessible to all, capable of touching every soul,” Cody explained. “Back then, |
prioritized technical prowess. | believed music belonged solely to concert halls, not the streets.”

“And what happened next?” Elyse’s surprise was palpable.
“Subsequently, | lost my way. It was he who guidedback.” Reflecting on that period, Cody couldn’t suppress
a smile.
Elyse had never imagined Cody's past to be so intricate. After a momentary silence, Cody turned to her. “You and
he share a resemblance, not just in appearance but in your approach to music. The difference lies in your
ambitions. He was content to play anywhere, while you strive for the stage.”
“But I'm not him. | have my own dreams to pursue,” Elyse admitted, with a bashful scratch of her head.
Cody nodded knowingly. “It'd be wonderful if he were still around. I'm sure he’d hold you in high regard.” A soft
smile played on Elyse’s lips.
Standing up, Cody remarked, “Well, it's tforto attend to my other guests. | won't keep you any longer.
Be punctual tomorrow.”
“I will. See you tomorrow,” Elyse bid farewell before departing with Driscoll.
Exiting the studio, Driscoll’s face lit up with relief as he turned to Elyse. “From this day forward, Cody Tucker shall
be your mentor. Let's celebrate tonight.”
Elyse’s smile glimmered with a hint of disbelief. “It all feels so surreal.”
Before long, their chauffeur arrived to pick them up. Unbeknownst to them, Jayden sat in a quaint cafe on the
second floor nearby. Finishing his conversation with Clive, his gaze inadvertently drifted to the window where he
caught sight of Elyse and Driscoll.
Clive took a sip of his coffee, noticing Jayden’s distraction. Following his gaze, he found nothing of significance
and inquired, “What's caught your attention?”
Jayden tore his gaze away, replying vaguely, “Just spotted someone unexpected.”
“Who was it?” Clive pressed.

Rather than answering directly, Jayden redirected the conversation. “What are your thoughts on Owen Group's
sudden move against Bayzee Group?”
Clive frowned. “Seems like a straightforward bid for market dominance to me.”
With a furrowed brow, Jayden added, “But doesn't it strike you as odd? | can’t shake the feeling they're targeting
me.”
Clive’s frown deepened. “You think they've found your role at the Bayzee Group?”
Jayden reclined against the chair with a casual air. “Hard to say. But Bryce mentioned something intriguing. After
my grandpa’s private meeting with Debora, she was swiftly entrusted with a significant responsibility. Do you
reckon she’s being groomed as his successor?”
After a moment's reflection, Clive replied, “It’s uncertain. Yet Enzo once envisioned you as his heir.”
Jayden’s expression soured slightly at the reminder. “Well, | won't be fulfilling that vision. He has likely already
abandoned hope in me.”
“They could uncover your connection to Bayzee Group. If that happens, they might target you when the time
comes,” Clive remarked with a nonchalant shrug.
