"You are Aunt Melissa's daughter?" Nina widened her eyes in surprise. Then, she looked at Stephanie and asked suspiciously, "Then, who are you?"
"I, I am..." Stephanie was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Her name is Stephanie. She is my stepsister. Her mother used to be a servant in the Simons family." Margaret curled her lips and said with a smile.
Stephanie turned out to be the mistress' illegitimate daughter.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. So, her mother was a servant at home. That's just disgusting."
This was the type of person that all wealthy ladies hated the most. At this moment, everyone's gazes changed as they started looking at Stephanie with glares of despise.
Nina had a change of expression as well. Though she was indeed proud of her own skills, she couldn't help but admire someone who was better than her at the piano.
And Margaret was definitely that someone who was better at the piano than she was.
One must know that Nina was a direct person who had no filter when she spoke.
Since she now admired Margaret, the moment she learned about Stephanie's identity, she became even more openly disgusted with her.
"So, you are the daughter of a mistress. Then, why did you admit it when I asked you if you were Aunt Melissa's daughter?"
Stephanie's heart froze. She immediately pretended to look pitiful to gain some sympathy from others. She explained, "I don't know. I thought you asked me if I am the daughter of the Simons family..."
"The Simons family? Who are they? I've never heard of them," Nina said disdainfully.
Stephanie bit her lip and felt the gaze of the surrounding people. It angered her greatly and made her feel completely worthless.
"I don't even know how you got in," Nina frowned and said with contempt.
Stephanie was so angry that her entire body started trembling. She could not wait to scream at the top of her lungs that she was invited by Master Sherman.
However, when she thought of what Mr. Wayne had said, she had no choice but to shut up.
Although Stephanie could be a little impulsive when she was angry, she knew how to control herself depending on the severity of a situation.
If she really revealed Master Sherman's identity, she would be digging her own grave.
She dared not offend such a powerful person.
"Forget it, let's not talk to these people. Your name is Margaret, right? Let's go, let me take you to meet someone." Nina pulled Margaret away as she said this.
Margaret did not know how to respond.
This girl had just been rude and aggressive to her, but at this moment, she reconsidered and even invited her along to introduce her to others.
What a fickle-minded lady.
Margaret turned to look at Monique. After all, she came to the banquet with Monique.
She could not just leave her alone.
Monique also noticed Margaret's gaze. She then smiled and said, "Go with them. I'll go mingle with some people that I know. You don't have to worry about me."
It was only then Margaret began following Nina.
"Serene, come look." Nina pulled Margaret to a corner.
Margaret saw a girl look up. The girl was wearing a white dress, looking like a bright moonflower.
"She's great at the piano," Nina continued to say with excitement.
"I know, I just heard her play," Serene said with a smile. She looked at Margaret and said, "Margaret, do you still remember me?"
It was Serene Taylor.
Margaret's cousin!
They had met once when they were young, but as time went by, their relationship deteriorated.
Therefore, the two children did not see each other again.
"Yes, I do." However, Margaret still had an impression of her.
