Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

"Did you forget! This hotel has investments from Crown Group, Since it's Ms. Lane performing. It's likely the piano was brought in by Crown Group Turns out it has been in the Lane family's possession. Today is truly an eye-opener. Not only do we get to see Ms. Lane perform, but also witness the very piano Beethoven once played!" someone from the crowd said.

Ruby's pale fingers danced gracefully across the black and white keys, and the music flowed like a stream in full, vibrant bloom

She was playing none other than Beethoven's globally renowned masterpiece, the Moonlight Sonata.

There was no doubt that Ruby deserved her world champion title. Her performance was nothing short of breathtaking

At that time, Timothy re-entered the hall and looked at

sed at Ruby who was commanding and shining on the stage. He could not help narrowing his eyes, mesmerized

Ruby indeed had every reason to be proud, standing tall like a queen with her aura fully unleashed. The frustration from their earlier confrontation faded into the background as he watched her. Meanwhile, looking at Ruby's performance, Cora and Sara could not resist bringing up the old gossip about Ruby's pursuit of Trevon

"I think Trevon is blind. He let such a remarkable woman go and turned her into a laughingstock by choosing Selina..." Cora complained. After all, anyone who stood against Selina was her friend

To be fair, Ruby was indeed outstanding, but Selina was not lacking either. Just the sheer number of talents the latter held was far beyond others. Cora's disdain for Selina was palpabl "Cora, don't uy that. Selina is still my daughter no matter what," Sara responded unhappily.

Cora turned in disbelief. "Sara, are you crazy? You still defended Selina after everything she did to you?"

"That's not the same thing. Ruby may be impressive, but Selina is no less so. Selina is so talented, how could Ruby be compared to her!" Sara said.

She did not realize her words were a stark contrast to what she said last time. That did not sound like what she would say last time.

Now, she completely regarded and embraced Selina as her daughter.

"Sara, tell me the truth, what the hell happened! You wouldn't speak up for Selina like this before Cora's intuition screamed that something significant had occurred, something she did not know about. Otherwise, why would Sara, after everything Selina had put the Harvey family and the Clark family through, suddenly be defending her? Unless, of course. Sara had gone crazy

"I've just come to realize that I'm her biological mother and we share an unbreakable bond of blood. It's only natural for me to feel proud of her, no matter what our relationship has turned into, Sara said.

Cora fell speechless. Crazy! This is insane! No wonder Quinton's answers were so vague when I pressed him, she thought.

Looking at Sara, Cora knew she had to get to the bottom of it.

"Sam, I don't care what happened to you. You may have the capacity as a mother to forgive Selina, but I don't! Timothy was destroyed by her, and as for me... You know exactly how she bumiliated me! You can stay out of it, but don't stop me from seeking justice! Cora fumed.

Sara was at a loss for words

She could not stop her closest friend from hating the daughter she so desperately wanted to reconcile with. The thought gave her a throbbing headache.

Keath and Herbert were also enjoying Ruby's performance,

"What a pity Kenth could not help bur sigh.

Ruby was indeed an exceptional woman, with perfect appearance, ability, family background, and aura. She was a perfect match for Trevon Just the fact that she had the guts to go to the Brady residence alone and directly promote herself to Maverick and Keith was enough to impress anyone.

If that marriage had gone through. Trevon might already have children by naw

But things did not fall through. Not only did Thevon reject Ruby, but he did so in the most humiluting way possible, turning her in a Laughingstock.

Even if Crown Coming did not make a log deal out of it, its cooperation with hight Group fell through completely.

With those thoughts, Keith could not help glancing at Trevon, who was not paying attention to the performance on stage and instead sipping champagne and looking at Selina with unmistakable affection. Keith sighed. Everyone has their preference. They were just not fated with each other, he thought.

"Dad, I don't think it's such a pity. What's important is that Trevon is happy. Selina is good too. Herbert chimed in, rare in his defense of Selina.

The only way to completely win someone over was through power, and Selina had reached a height that Herbert could not imagine "You brat, you don't understand these things, Keith said.

Selina was engaged in enjoying Ruby's performance. Finally, she offered her thoughts and said, "Her piano skills are indeed impressive, definitely world champion level."

Charley could not help but speak up. "Selina, I can't tell if you're just being generous or if you genuinely appreciate her. No matter what she thinks now, she's still your rival in love."

"Only equals can be rivals. If we're not even evenly matched, how could she be my enemy? Selina retorted.

Her words left Charley momentarily speechless. He even gave her a thumbs-up.

"Selina, you're really arrogant, but I like it. Charley said.

even considering her a competitor. It was obvious

He thought only Selina would dare to speak so dismissively about the Crown Group's heiress, not even to him that Selina was absolutely confident in herself

If any other woman had said that, not only would no one take her seriously, but Charley would also think the person was ignorant.

The performance ended, and loud applause broke ou

Ruby got up, bowed to everyone, took the microphone, and said, "I have a small request. To elevate the atmosphere of tonight's banquet, could f Invite Ms. Harvey to come up and perform a piece?"

The directness of her request caught everyone off guard. There was hardly any preamble, just a straightforward challenge.

All eyes immediately fell on Selina

Charley was bewildered. "W-Was Ruby targeting Selina? This doesn't make sense. She had been so composed and honorable when dealing with Timothy earlier. Now, she was turning around and issuing a challenge. Was it all an act? he thought. Even Timothy was stunned

Ruby's rejection of him had been so dignified, and now she was inviting Selina to perform, setting up a direct comparison of their talents, all just for Trevon.

He thought the idea of working with him to break up Selina and Trevon was way better.

Selina's deep, tranquil eyes s

shifted to Ruby.

When she met the latter's gaze, she saw no provocation, only a flame of intense curiosity,

It was something teetering between good and bad, purely neutral,

With that one look, Selina saw through Ruby that her target was her, and not TrevonPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Her lips parted slightly as she asked, "Why
