Chapter 1678


    Her dance was revered on global stages. Her stature in the dancemunity had precluded such casual performances.


    And now, she was to be a mere performer at a gathering? Reduced to an entertainer?


    “Miss Forbes, do you decline?”This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Larry’s voice sliced through the murmurs, his eyes glinting with scorn.


    The youngdies nearby fixed their gazes upon Selina.


    “She must begrudge the Moreno heiress’s return.”


    “How audacious of her to appear today!”

    “Indeed. Does she object? Does she still perceive herself as born into privilege? Her dancing here would be a benefit. The


    Moreno family show such grace. Another family wouldn’t entertain her presence.”


    Overhearing their conversation and encountering their scornful looks, Selina inhaled deeply, quelling the embarrassment and


    rage in her gaze.


    She straightened her posture, stepped onto the stage, and epted the microphone from Larry.


    “I''m grateful to my godparents for the opportunity to join tonight’s banquet. Though you’re not my birth parents, you hold the


    ce of most esteemed godparents in my heart,” she announced, her eyes misting slightly, her voice brimming with heartfelt


    gratitude.


    The Moreno couple remained silent, standing with solemn dignity.


    Turning to Rosalynn, Selina continued, “And Rosalynn, we should be like sisters and care for Mr. and Mrs. Moreno together.”


    Rosalynn stood there, at a loss for words.


    She harbored no desire to bond as sisters with such an individual, let alone jointly care for her parents.


    It was clear to her that Selina was ostentatiously parading her affection, aiming to demonstrate to all present that the Moreno


    family had not forsaken her.


    “Well, in honor of Rosa’s homing, | shall dance,” dered Selina, her gaze fixed on Rosalynn.


    “Rosa, might you grace us with piano apaniment?”


    The request to y the piano took Rosalynn aback, a flicker of intrigue passing through her eyes.


    ying the piano was no trivial feat like humming a tune.


    It demanded a solid foundation, not something within everyone’s reach.


    Was this a deliberate challenge by Selina?


    Aploy to embarrass her?


    As Rosalynn remained motionless, a silent scoff echoed in Selina’s thoughts.
