The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1401

Chapter 1401: 651 Encounter_5 Chapter 1401: 651 Encounter_5 This sound, it’s a wooden fish.

Next comes a woman’s low chant, accompanied by the soft sound of a guqin, sending shockwaves that strike directly at your heart.

The first person that came to Josephine Rinto’s mind upon hearing this was Aubree Groove.

She has heard this song countless times at school.

It’s the lead track of Anton Cook’s new album.

As soon as it was released, it quickly gained popularity throughout the country.

The school radio tirelessly played this song every break time.

...

Josephine Rinto could hum along instinctively; she knew the melody and lyrics by heart.

For this song, Anton Cook forsook the hodgepodge of Western musical instruments and used traditional Chinese instruments like the Guqin, Pipa, Dizi, Erhu, and Bianzhong for accompaniment.

His clear voice passionately singing, gave a vivid sense of scenes.

It was as if you could see the snow on the high mountains, quietly flowing through the ancient times, no matter how many years passed, the feelings deep from the soul remained fresh.

Josephine Rinto would listen to the song in silence every time.

She thought Anton Cook was a born singer.

His talent was unrivalled in today’s music scene.

Even a hundred years from now, his music could still be shared.

Perhaps this was the charm of a classic.

After the song ended, Bellona Capris across from her exclaimed, “I don’t know why, but this song reminded me of Aubree Groove.”

Josephine Rinto felt scornful within.

What a pretense!

Such remarks were all over the internet.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Aubree for a while.

Although I shouldn’t ask about her private matters, I consider Aubree a friend.

So, I wanted to ask, is she…not in Pethkids lately?”

Josephine Rinto raised an eyebrow, “You don’t know?

Ah, right, something like this, Miss Groove wouldn’t necessarily tell you.

You two aren’t that close after all.

Miss Groove went overseas.

It’s not a secret, she prefers to keep a low profile.”

“I see,” said Bellona Capris, not pressing further.

Shifting the subject, she chuckled, “I sure seem to have a lot of connections with The Rintos.”

Here it comes, Josephine Rinto thought, not holding it in any longer.

She chuckled, “Oh?

Do elaborate.”

“Dallyn and I were high school classmates, and I went to university with Mr.

Rinto.

At the last Hart Group annual meeting, due to unforeseen circumstances, I didn’t have a chance to exchange greetings.

It’s quite a pity.”

“If there’s an opportunity, could you ask Dallyn to introduce me to Mr.

Rinto?

He’s always been a respected senior of mine.

His deeds are widely circulated at our school.”

“Really?

Sir McKay is that impressive.

It seems simple, there’s an equestrian competition at the Western Suburbs Horse Race Track next month.

Master McKay will be there.

How are your equestrian skills, Ms.

Capris?”

“Master McKay likes women who are good at the equestrian sports.

If Ms.

Capris could perform there, you’ll definitely catch Master McKay’s eye.”

Bellona Capris laughed, “Thank you for letting me know.”

After Josephine Rinto left, Bellona Capris sat there alone with a small smile on her lips.

This woman was cunning, too, going overseas?

What a lie.

Where Aubree went didn’t concern Bellona Capris, her priority was to establish a foothold in Pethkids.

Whether it was the Harts or the Rintos, she wanted them all.

That woman, who was too close with these two families, was too much in the way.

Without her around, it saved Capris the trouble of removing her.

Bellona Capris sipped her coffee leisurely.

She quite liked Pethkids; once back, she didn’t want to leave.

The equestrian competition next month?

Bellona Capris smiled.

What a coincidence.

—

Josephine Rinto hummed a song as she entered the Rinto residence.

Agave Rinto squinted at her, “What’s making you so cheerful?”

Josephine Rinto suddenly crowded closer to Agave Rinto and scrutinized his face.

Taken aback by sudden close inspection, Agave Rinto pulled back his face, glaring at her.

Josephine Rinto blinked, “Master Mckay, do you know how many women in Pethkids have their sights on you?”

“A dog can’t spit out ivory,” Agave Rinto grunted disapprovingly.

“Ai, what a calamity.

Today, a woman carefully hinted that I should act as a go-between for you.”

A chill instantly came over Agave Rinto’s handsome face, “Josephine Rinto.”

Josephine Rinto chuckled, “Those naïve women won’t shed a tear until they see the coffin, of course, I’ll play along.

Master Mckay, you’d better pray.”

Before the furious Agave Rinto could answer, quickly scurried upstairs.

Soon, Butler Rinto snuck into Josephine Rinto’s room.

Josephine Rinto, in the midst of changing her clothes in the cloakroom, said helplessly, “Dad, why don’t you knock before entering?”
