Chapter 111 Humiliation
The sibling duo’s performance on stage had everyone completely stunned and overflowing with joy. They all wished that Sylvia could join every concert of Blake’s, but they knew that was a wishful thinking. Sylvia hadn’t planned to come up and sing. It was Blake who insisted repeatedly.
With no other option, Sylvia agreed to come up and sing a couple of songs before stepping down. What she didn’t expect was that her brother’s fans would be so warm and enthusiastic that after hearing two songs, they even clamored for more.
So, the siblings sang two more songs, again harmonizing perfectly together. Even without any rehearsal and with just acapella, their connection was unmistakable. Those two songs, sung without any instrumental backing, sounded even more extraordinary sung by them.
Sylvia had crafted the lyrics and music specifically for Blake, elevating these classic songs to new heights with their shared rendition.
After finishing, Sylvia intended to leave the stage, ignoring the fans‘ calls for an encore, What kind of joke would it be to upstage her brother at his own concert?
Once Sylvia had left, some fans were still grumbling. They had adored Blake, but after Sylvia’s spellbinding performance that evening, some were ready to switch idols. Suddenly, Blake seemed “just okay‘ in comparison. Despite being a global superstar, Sylvia’s abilities as a songwriter, composer, and singer seemed just as impressive. They fancied that if Sylvia launched a singing career, she might even
outshine Blake.
In their excitement over Sylvia, the fans had forgotten Blake’s own talent. Although Sylvia was the genius behind many of the songs, Blake had also created some masterpieces himself. Unfortunately, at the moment, the fans only had eyes for Sylvia, leaving no room for Blake.
But Blake wasn’t upset. On the contrary, he was thrilled that his little sister was so well–loved by the fans. Seeing her welcomed so warmly as she left the stage made him truly happy for her.
“All right, all right,” Blake said after Sylvia’s exit, amusing the crowd. “Thank you for showing so much love for my sister. But let’s not forget, she’s the heir to our family business. If she were to debut as a singer, who would run our company? We’d have to take to the streets!”
It was unusual for Blake to joke with the audience, but with Sylvia there, he was full of jest. The crowd was even more eager for Sylvia to stay on stage a bit longer.
They were used to a very different Blake–a bit grumpy with his biting wit, ready to snap at anyone who crossed his path. Only today did they see the softer side he showed towards Sylvia.
Having shared a light moment/the crowd looked forward to Blake’s next set. But instead of continuing the concert, he teased them with news of something else.
“I’m sure you’ve noticed,” Blake continued on stage, “apart from the unique performance we had today with a special guest, there’s someone else who was invited to join us.”
It was then that the fans suddenly remembered. Amidst the excitement of Sylvia’s Impromptu

performance, they had overlooked the official guest performer of the evening.

The audience was fervently trying to recall who that invited guest was. Some were even scrolling through their phones, but people seated in the front row knew exactly what Blake had in mind for today.
“I knew it,” Miranda chattered excitedly, rubbing her hands together. “Their whole family has a knack for surprises. After that resounding slap in the face to Cyril and his folks at the birthday bash, it looks like. Katrina’s set to be the next ‘star‘ of the show. Can’t wait to see what happens!”
There was an air of anticipation among the crowd. Some fans, having checked their messages, already knew who the expected guest was, and frankly, were a bit resistant to the idea. Although they hadn’t been at Sylvia’s birthday party, they had seen enough online to know about the beef between Sylvia and Katrina.
And so, when Blake was about to announce the official guest, Katrina was nowhere near eager to take the stage. She feared it would be a spectacular embarrassment, vastly worse than the last time. The thought
alone was unbearable.
Blake didn’t care if she was ready to face it or not; he turned stone–faced.
“How come the person who shamelessly insisted on coming to my concert won’t step up to the stage? Are you scared because of the wrong you did to my sister? Oh, I must be wrong. Surely someone who could shamelessly lure Cyril wouldn’t be afraid to show their face now!”
The crowd gasped upon hearing Blake’s words–were they really supposed to hear this?
Katrina, standing offstage, had gone pale. She hadn’t expected Blake to dishonor her publicly. Despite her international fame, why was she being treated like this?
“If I were you,” Blake continued, his tone ice–cold, “knowing my connection with Sylvia, I would’ve thought about paying off the penalty fee rather than showing up. You should’ve known that I wouldn’t let you leave here without facing consequences. Consider how you tormented my sister because you’re about to find out how payback feels.”
Blake’s message was crystal clear to everyone: this guest wasn’t invited for honor but for a very public
humiliation.
Katrina, close to tears, felt genuinely wronged now–not like earlier, when she had only been faking. She truly hadn’t known about Blake and Sylvia’s relationship, and upon discovering it, she did want to pull out of their agreement but couldn’t afford the astronomical compensation fee.
After all, she had begged to be part of this concert–it was not by Blake’s invitation. She had hoped to stick around and reap some benefits, but now it was impossible to stay.
Not only could she not stay, but her reputation was also about to go down the drain.
