A message from his friend popped up: "Yeah, that's her! Isabella, the daughter of the Lancasters, the wealthiest family in Vaelion City. The one who won the international gold medal for piano and a ton of other awards!"
Darius looked embarrassed. "So what if she can play the piano? Isn't she just some girl who grew up in the sticks? Hailey said the woman didn't even finish high school before she got kicked out. A woman like that... she can't hold a candle to Hailey."
"And she thinks she can marry into a prestigious family? Riley probably has no idea where she comes from, does he?"
"Shut up!" Adrian's fingers tightened into a fist, veins bulging on his hand.His gaze turned cold and menacing as he stared at the phone.
His friend's words echoed in his mind—
Riley was interested in her.
He wanted to pursue her, to marry her.
Serena... how dare she!
How could she?
After leaving him, she was acting like a social butterfly, flitting between all those men.
And what's more...
Those men were all people he dreamed of connecting with, people who were completely out of his league.
But now, Serena had effortlessly integrated into their circle, attending events where he couldn't even get past the front door...
She was shining so brightly.
Serena... just how much had she been hiding from him?
First, it was her racing skills and the suspicion that she was Skye.
And now, she had revealed a talent for piano that surpassed even the daughter of Vaelion City's richest family, the Lancasters.
If...
If she had shown these extraordinary abilities sooner...
How could he... how could he possibly have ignored her for four years?
"Hey, hey, Adrian, that's my phone! Mine!" his friend cried out, reaching for the device as Adrian looked ready to crush it.
In the scuffle...
The video's progress bar was accidentally moved.
Adrian’s eyes widened in pure shock.
He shoved his friend aside and stared intently at the screen.
There... standing below the stage, dressed in an expensive gown, was a disheveled and terrified-looking Hailey!
