Even the youngest children from prestigious families were often well-versed in languages and arts such as piano.
Although Emily's mental age was now around eight years old, playing a smooth piano piece was no problem for her.
As the melody filled the banquet hall, it became clear to everyone that Emily was no longer the retard she once was.
Although she still looked innocent, she was undoubtedly no longer mentally impaired.
When the piece ended, Emily gracefully curtsied to the guests. She lifted her skirt in a show of proper etiquette and happily ran over to Shannon, looking like a lively butterfly.
"Shannon, did I play well?"
Shannon was more tolerant of kids. She nodded and praised Emily, "Not bad at all."
Emily had only missed two notes.
Considering that the girl had just recovered and was able to recall what she learned eight years ago, it was quite an accomplishment.
Shannon didn't have obsessive tendencies and didn't demand perfection.
Seeing their interaction, the surrounding guests came to their senses. They finally realized that the claims about Shannon curing Emily were true.
Suddenly, the guests felt even more admiration for Shannon.
It looked like the Jensens were going to have a remarkable person among them.
Cecily hadn't even started using Emily's incident to her advantage, and the Shaws had already vindicated Shannon.
She couldn't understand why the Shaw couple would go out of their way to support an 18-year-old girl just because she cured Emily. She found it amusing.
Nonetheless, those who had been making snide remarks earlier now fell silent.
Seeing that someone else had stepped in to set things right, Shannon felt no need to argue with those people. She began to feel bored.
As if sensing her thoughts, her phone buzzed in her handbag. She opened it to find a message from Benjamin.
Although they had exchanged contacts previously, Shannon and Benjamin had only shared two messages so far.
"Shannon."
Shannon turned to see Bradley standing not far away while holding a bag. Dressed elegantly in formal attire, he was clearly here to attend the banquet.
"If you're here for the banquet, you can just go inside."
Although she had already made things clear between them, she had no reason to stop him from attending a Jensen family event.
Besides, she wasn't the only one being celebrated tonight.
After speaking, Shannon turned to leave. But then she heard hurried footsteps behind her. Turning around, she saw Bradley approaching her while explaining.
"I came to find you."
Shannon frowned but didn't respond.
This time, Bradley didn't look at her with that "just admit you like me" expression. Instead, he looked more casual and genuine.
