Her dance was revered on global stages. Her stature in the dance community 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?”
Larry’s voice sliced through the murmurs, his eyes glinting with scorn.
The young ladies nearby fixed their gazes upon Selina.

“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 accepted 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 place 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.

A ploy to embarrass her?
As Rosalynn remained motionless, a silent scoff echoed in Selina’s thoughts.
