Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1286 Sonia Treating Sonia as a Thespian

Emmeline had no intention of competing with Sonia in singing because she simply couldn’t sing.

However, she would gladly sit in the audience and enjoy the show if Sonia was willing to make herself a

Thespian.

Sonia, wearing high heels, gracefully ascended the stage.

She exchanged a word with the accompanist, and the musicians began to play ‘Un bel di vedremo.

Sonia positioned herself on the stage, looking the part, and with a clear and bright voice, she started

singing. Oscar applauded, “Excellent!”

Emmeline joined in with the applause. “Brava!”

Abel stood by, chuckling.

“Un bel di, vedremo levarsi un fil di fumo sull’estremo confin del mare. E poi la nave appare. Poi la

nave bianca entra nel porto, romba il suo saluto…”

As the aria ‘Un bel di vedremo’ continued, Sonia sang with precision and elegance, captivating most of

the guests in the garden.

Those who knew her recognized her as the mayor’s daughter, but those who didn’t. whispered to each

other, “Who is this new actress singing in the Struyrian opera? Not bad!”

Michaela was initially proud, but her expression quickly fell when she heard the whispers. However,

she couldn’t openly confront anyone and had to suppress her feelings.

“Grandfather,” Emmeline poured tea for Oscar. “Sonia’s performance of ‘Un bel di vedremo was really

excellent, even comparable to the masters. Is there another piece you’d like to hear? I can request it on

your behalf.”

“Let’s go with Libiamo nelieti calici,” Oscar happily suggested, “that one is also beautiful.”

Emmeline stood up and addressed Sonia on the stage, “Ms. Steiner, Grandfather requests ‘Libiamo

nelieti calici, please continue!”

Sonia, pleased that Grandfather enjoyed her performance, smiled gracefully and nodded. She gave a

courteous gesture to the audience and said in her Struyrian opera style, “Please listen, Grandfather, to

Libiamo nelieti calici”.

The accompanying musicians began to play Libiamo nelieti calici”, and Sonia proved that she wasn’t

just bragging. She performed the aria with remarkable skill, earning cheers and applause from the

audience. When the piece ended, she took a graceful pose to acknowledge the applause.

“I’d like to request another one,” Emmeline said, “how about ‘O mio babbino caro?””

Sonia was taken aback and thought, What do you make of me, a thespian?!

“Can’t you sing it?” Emmeline asked, “Grandfather and the audience are looking forward to it.”

Some guests in the audience joined in. “Yes, ‘O mio babbino caro! That one!”

Sonia found herself in a difficult spot, her face turning darker. However, she couldn’t back. down either.

Not when Oscar was in high spirits!

This time, she had truly dug her own grave.

Sonia despised Emmeline from the bottom of her heart and wished she could tear her apart. on the

spot. Her piercing eyes glared at Emmeline with intense hostility.

Emmeline noticed Sonia’s piercing gaze and responded by making a mocking face, infuriating her even

more.

Michaela’s face turned almost black with anger, and she wished she could strangle. Emmeline. But

how could she dare to act when Abel was guarding his wife like a protective deity, never leaving her

Emmeline, Michaela thought, her eyes filled with fury. Just you wait! Let’s see how long you can keep

laughing!

“O mio babbino caro, mi piace, è bello, bello. Vo’ andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l’anello!”

The music played as Sonia belted out the aria.

Emmeline, listening to her every note, had already started to admire her.

If this woman hadn’t had a deceitful heart, she would have been quite the talent! It’s a shame her

talents weren’t put to good use and could only be considered misdirected.

Sonia had had enough by the time she finished ‘O mio babbino caro’. However, the audience wanted

more, cheering,

“Encore!”

Michaela couldn’t bear it any longer and stood up, addressing Oscar, “Mr. Ryker, Sonia is exhausted,

and she has already sung several pieces. Can we call it a day?”

“Yes.” Oscar waved to Sonia from the audience. “Come down. Let me reward you!”

Sonia quickly descended from the stage. However, on the last step, she slipped and tumbled down

ungracefully.
