At eight o'clock, all the lights at the venue suddenly went out. It was extremely dark.
Several blue beams of light shone on the stage in the next second. A woman in a limited blue gown sat in front of the piano. The music she played silenced the clamor.
Everyone quietly looked at her. Her hair was long and beautiful. With the ethereal music, she looked like a mermaid.
Someone in the audience said, "Is she the heiress of the Johnson family who just returned from studying abroad? | haven't seen her for so many years. She's truly exceptional! | guess no one in Marisburg is more outstanding than this young lady." After the music ended, Megan Johnson lifted the bottom of her dress as the final act. Many in the audience applauded.
Some people noticed Megan seemed to be looking at someone. Everyone followed her gaze.
The person she looked at was Ethan.
Leyton found some information about Megan on his phone and told Ethan about her.
It turned out that Ethan and Megan were high school schoolmates. However, Ethan did not remember her.

Megan walked down from the stage and went to David Johnson. She said, "Dad." David was the most influential tycoon in Marisburg. Half of the Johnson family's wealth derived from connections with the government. His status in Marisburg was unparalleled.
He looked at his daughter with satisfaction, "Let me introduce you two. This is the CEO of the Arnold Corporation in Ventropolis.
And this is my daughter, Megan." Megan and Ethan looked at each other, nodded, and greeted each other.
David asked his daughter, "Why didn't you come and find me after you came back from overseas? You've really surprised me!" Megan smiled, "As long as you're happy.” Leyton suddenly leaned close to Ethan's ear. He then covered his mouth and whispered.
Ethan squinted slightly and glanced at the phone in his pocket. There were unread messages from Madelyn. There was also an unanswered call.
Ethan asked, "Did Madelyn text you?" Leyton answered, "She didn't." Ethan left the venue without saying goodbye. This was usually not allowed according to etiquette.
The happiness in Megan's eyes faded when she watched him leave.
