Chapter 55: 056: Live up to expectations

Hearing this, Moira nodded slightly.

Indeed, playing the violin is greatly influenced by one’s mood and environment.

Overall, Elizabeth Thompson’s violin-playing skills are quite impressive.

She has great potential.

Moira took Elizabeth’s violin and played a few notes, then said, “You need to pay attention to this tone. Give it a try.”

“All right.”

Elizabeth tried it out.

A note flowed from the strings.

Moira frowned slightly, “Play a little heavier.”

Elizabeth added more force to the note.

Moira was still not satisfied and said, “Elizabeth, don’t be nervous, just pretend you’re at home.”

Elizabeth nodded slightly, but the notes she played still did not meet Moira’s expectations.

Because no matter what, the sound of the violin this time was not on the same level as what she had heard last time.

Having heard better sounds, Moira knew that Elizabeth could achieve a higher standard.

With a guilty expression on her face, Elizabeth said, “Master, I’m sorry. I’ve disappointed you. I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I just can’t recreate the feeling I had last time at home.”

Seeing Elizabeth so guilty, Moira immediately comforted her, “It’s okay, Elizabeth. At your age, being able to play the violin this well is already very impressive. Even though it’s not as good as last time, I believe that as long as you practice well, you’ll certainly be the best.”

Elizabeth is only eighteen years old this year, and her violin skills are so good. Given time, she is bound to achieve great things.

“Thank you, Master.” Elizabeth looked at Moira, “l will not let you down.”

On the other side.

Viola Thompson rode her bike with Mantou to the pet clinic.

There weren’t many people at the moment.

“Doctor, our cat hasn’t had much appetite lately.” The doctor was a young man, “Did you bring the cat?”

Viola nodded slightly and took Mantou out of her bag.

Upon seeing Mantou, the doctor said in surprise, “Wow, it’s so chubby!”

This wasn’t a cat.

It was practically a ball.

Viola smiled slightly, “He used to eat three cans per meal, so he put on some weight.”

“Doesn’t he eat cat food?” the doctor asked.

Viola nodded, “He does, three cans plus thirty grams of cat food.”

“No wonder he’s so chubby.” The pet doctor took Mantou from Viola, “How much does he eat in a day now?”

“Now he can’t even finish a can in a day.”

“That’s little?” The doctor furrowed his brow.

“Yes.

The doctor held Mantou, “Let me weigh him first.”

Mantou remained obedient, sitting quietly on the scale and elegantly licking his paws.

“He weighs a total of twenty pounds.” The doctor adjusted his glasses, “How old is he now?”

“Four months.” Viola answered.

The doctor laughed, “He’s grown so big in just four months. What’s his name?”

“Mantou.”

The doctor took Mantou’s temperature and performed a series of examinations. Finally, he looked up at Viola, ‘Young lady, your cat has no problems at all.”

Viola frowned slightly, “Then why doesn’t he eat?”

The doctor continued, “Did he eat something outside? He could have caught a mouse, too.” “Thank you, doctor.”

“You’re welcome.’

Learning that Mantou was fine, Viola let out a sigh of relief and then took Mantou back home.

At the Lentz Clan’s residence.

Terrence Lentz stood on the balcony, watering the plants with a spray bottle.

Adam Swantz lit a cigarette and smiled, “When did you develop an interest in this, Terrence?”

He was actually growing plants.

Before, there was not a single blade of grass on this balcony.

Terrence Lentz did not respond but looked towards a tree in the distance.

There was a fat yellow cat on the tree.

The next second.

The fat yellow cat jumped onto the balcony with a “meow.”

Terrence Lentz smiled faintly and reached out to pick up the cat.

Seeing the cat, Adam Swantz was even more surprised. “Terrence, you have a cat now?”

“Is there a problem?” Terrence raised an eyebrow.

“No,” Adam Swantz nodded his head and scratched his head, “it just doesn’t seem to fit your style! When did you get your cat?” After knowing Terrence for over a decade.

He had no idea that Terrence had a fondness for pets. Without answering, Terrence said, “Go to the room and bring the cat food.” “All right.” Adam Swantz went to the room immediately.

The cat food was on the table and could be seen as soon as he entered.

Adam Swantz secretly thought, “Wow.”

Not only was the cat eating imported canned food, but it was also top- grade Wagyu beef. A small can cost more than two hundred dollars.

He didn’t even eat as well as a cat.

Adam Swantz picked up a can and went outside, handing it to Terrence.

Terrence took the can, “One is not enough.” Adam asked, “How many do you need, then?”

“Five,” Terrence replied.

“Damn! He eats more than I do, No wonder he’s so fat.” Adam Swantz continued, “By the way, Terrence, your cat really needs to lose weight.”

The fat yellow cat seemed to understand and lifted his cute little head, meowing once.

“Why don’t you lose weight?” Terrence retorted.

Adam said, “I’m not fat.”

Terrence slightly raised his eyes, those phoenix eyes staring at Adam, “Is he very fat?”

Although it was just a faint phrase.

Adam Swantz felt a chill down his spine and immediately shook his head, “Not fat, not fat at all.’

As he finished speaking, Adam continued, “By the way, Terrence, I’ve completed that proposal.”

“Send it to my email.”

“All right.” Adam nodded.

Terrence leisurely opened the can of cat food, and then said, “Come to Fanlta with me tomorrow. The plane is at seven-thirty in the evening.”

At seven-thirty.

Adam returned to the Swantz Family home.

Ever since the quarrel with his father, their relationship has not improved.

Remained tense.

Seeing Adam’s return, Matthew Swantz naturally had no friendly expression. He thought for a moment and said, “Starting tomorrow, go work at the company. Derek will guide you.”

At his words, Derek Swantz squinted his eyes.

This matter had not been discussed with him beforehand by Matthew Swantz.

“l don’t have time.” Adam flatly refused.

Mrs. Swantz immediately came over and said with a smile, “Adam, this is such a great opportunity. Hurry up and thank your father!”

It was only after she had begged Matthew Swantz for a long time that he had agreed.

For his mother’s sake, Adam turned his head to look at Matthew Swantz,

“Thank you for your kindness, but I really don’t have time.”

Upon hearing this, Matthew Swantz’s face turned black as coal, “You say you have no time for real work, but you spend all day wining and dining with that good-for-nothing!’

How could he have given birth to such a wastrel?

Shame-faced.

“Hurry up and apologize to your father.” Mrs. Swantz said.

“l did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?” Adam looked at Matthew Swantz, “If you really can’t stand me, I can move out of this house!”

Matthew Swantz, furious, pointed outside, “Move! Get out of here right now! ” He wanted to see how long Adam Swantz could survive out there without relying on him.

Hearing this, Adam turned and walked away.

Mrs. Swantz grabbed Adam’s arm, “Adam!”

“Let him go! Let him leave!” Matthew Swantz pointed at Mrs. Swantz and said..
