The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 260 - Orchidia Beauty

The next day, Jennie's name and photos of her in a fiery red dress were all over the newspapers, TV and several websites. For now, they still didn't know much about her. All they knew was that she was a popular musician.

Most of the music critics praised her interpretation of the two pieces she performed last night. There were a couple who didn't like her playing, but these particular critics were anti-fans of Maestro De Luca in the first place. Because Jennie performed at the maestro's concert, they were already biased against her. Overall, people raved about her performances, even going as far as to call her a rising star in the world of classical music.

In addition to her prowess on the piano, everyone was also talking about her red dress. Her photos wearing it topped several best-dressed lists. Many fashionistas, celebrities and socialites wanted to know who designed it, hoping that they could also wear the same dress.

Then an art collector posted a photo of a painting on his blog. It was an oil painting of a fierce woman rising from the mouth of a volcano, lava covering her body. The image looked extremely similar to Jennie's red dress. The painting was titled "Forged in Fire" by the artist Ashandra Knightson.

Some people, especially Ashandra's fans, started accusing Jennie of plagiarism. But before the situation escalated, the art collector made another post.

"Ash and I are good friends," the art collector wrote on his blog. "So I called her and spoke to her about this issue. To my surprise, Ash said that she was the one who designed the dress based on her own painting. Some of you may not know but Ash also dabbles in fashion design. She also told me that she and the pianist Jennie Kim are friends. I've also been tasked by Ash to let everyone know that she made the fiery red dress exclusively for her friend. She won't make the same dress for other people. That's all. So stop attacking my friend's friend. Jennie didn't plagiarize."

The art collector's blog posts quickly went viral. Now people became even more curious about Jennie.

Who was this young woman that she was friends with the artist Ashandra Knightson? Not only that, she was also seen with a group of impressive people during the concert.

After watching her piano performance, nobody doubted her connection to Maestro De Luca who valued talent and potential in young classical musicians.

But why did she also seem to be close to Enrique Valdez? The legendary hitmaker wasn't a classical musician. Tabloids claimed that according to "insiders", Jennie was the hitmaker's latest lover. He never married but was known to have a string of lovers. Each fling never lasted for more than a few months.

There weren't a lot of mention about Lisa in the media, even though there were many people in the concert who witnessed him and Jennie acting intimate on several occasions, kissing and cuddling.

It was just the nature of the media. A relationship with the famous hitmaker Enrique Valdez sounded more exciting, more scandalous especially in the West. Lisa and Jennie's relationship would only become big news if it was revealed in their country.

Lisa already took steps to control the flow of information so that the news about him and Jennie wouldn't reach home. Although he wanted to shout out their relationship to the whole world, he knew that doing so would only make it harder for her to prove herself in her career. They would naturally reveal their relationship to everyone in the right time.

Several European media outlets reached out to her, inviting her for interviews. However, she declined all of them. She didn't have time for interviews. She had a more important matter she needed to do at the moment.

The siblings Alona and Alric Bauer met with Jennie in the hotel suite's living room. Alona was the one who sold the skincare products to Jennie at the street market a few days ago. Her brother, Alric, was a gangling man with hair as blonde as his sister.
