She shifted gears, her voice regaining its strength. “But I’m also absolutely certain that wit that stubborn, resilient girl who grew up in the orphanage, there would be no Riley stand here today.

“However, I’m not here today to talk about how tough things were back then. I’m here to t those experiences for shaping who I am now.

“That’s why I’m also announcing that, on behalf of Harper Group, I will be donating thirty million dollars to this orphanage to establish the DreamWings Foundation. I hope this fur will ensure that every child here-whether they’re adopted someday or not-can get a goc education without worrying about money, and grow up with the confidence to choose thei own path in life!”

The moment she finished, the room fell silent for a second before erupting into thunderou applause.

That applause wasn’t just for the generous donation-it was for the remarkable maturity an clarity Riley showed, well beyond her years.

And right in the middle of that roaring applause, Sebastian, who had been sitting quietly in audience, leaned over and murmured something to his assistant beside him.

The assistant immediately understood and quickly made his way over to the event host, whispering a few words.

A look of surprise flashed across the host’s face, and then she announced in an even more excited tone, “Ladies and gentlemen! I’ve just been informed that Mr. Torres, president of Torres Group, has decided to personally donate an additional fifty million dollars to the DreamWings Foundation!”

If Riley’s thirty million had lit a fire in the room, Sebastian’s casual fifty million sent the atmosphere into overdrive.

He didn’t even take the stage. He simply showed his support for his wife in that quiet yet powerful way.

Inspired by the couple, other guests also opened their wallets generously. Donations kept climbing, turning the event into an unprecedented success.

Melissa sat frozen in her corner seat, the crowd’s noise and applause fading into a blur around her.

Her gaze cut through the room and landed on Riley, who had already stepped off the stag returned to Sebastian’s side.

Riley accepted her husband’s gentle adjustment of her blazer with calm composure, seem to glow with a radiance that was almost too bright to look at.

Melissa suddenly realized that the revenge and humiliation she’d imagined had only ever existed in her own mind.

Riley had long since moved past all those small, personal grudges.

This daughter she’d never cared for or loved had grown up standing tall through every sto entirely on her own, becoming someone truly remarkable-right under Melissa’s nose, in: place she’d never bothered to look.

In a daze, Melissa saw in Riley everything she had ever dreamed of.

That was exactly the kind of woman she’d pictured countless times for Elsie.

Independent, outstanding, resilient-someone who could stand beside anyone without fadi into the background, even capable of stealing the spotlight.

But reality was harsh.

The daughter she’d raised so carefully, Elsie, though sweet and charming around others, was like a hothouse flower that wilted outside the greenhouse. She simply didn’t have what it too to stand on her own.

An indescribable bitterness welled up in Melissa’s chest.

Maybe it was precisely because she’d seen Elsie’s weaknesses that she’d poured all her energy into her, trying to pave every step of the way.

The event gradually drew to a close amid warm applause.

Guests began to leave, but Melissa felt glued to her seat, her feet too heavy to move.
