these words were spoken, the whole room erupted. People looked at the calm and beautiful little fairy on stage and then at Cody and Rebecca, who were halfway up from their seats with expressions more thrilling than a roller coaster ride, and at that moment, chaos ensued-
“No way. Isn’t this Ms. Nelson part of the famous Nelson family!
“Something is strange. I attended Ms. Nelson’s birthday party before. She was pretty, for sure, but nothing this stunning. At first, I thought she had had some work done, but clearly, it’s not the same person.
“I knew it. That daughter of the Nelson family got into trouble for plagiarizing in a fashion design competition. It even caused Nelson Inc’s shares to drop a few points. How could she suddenly be so accomplished?”
“But Mr. and Mrs. Nelson admitted it was their daughter, right? Before the performance started, the Nelson family was boasting that it was their daughter who would play the piano piece.
“Exactly, they were all set to get on stage and take photos with the seniors. If it wasn’t their daughter, wouldn’t that be a huge embarrassment?”
“It was said this Ms. Nelson isn’t the biological daughter. When she was a child, there was a mix–up at the hospital. The Nelsons found their real daughter but didn’t announce it. We thought it was a rumor, but it seems she’s their biological daughter.”
“Oh my gosh, if it were me, I’d have announced it to the whole world with such an amazing daughter. Why are the Nelsons. keeping it a secret?”
“What else could it be? A kid raised outside can’t compare to the one brought up by themselves. The birthday party of Ms. Nelsons was so extravagant that everyone was envious. They love their adopted daughter so much that biology doesn’t stand a chance”
“Oh dear, what a tragedy. No wonder this girl says she has no parents; she’s probably heartbroken by how the Nelsons are handling things.”
“She is talented with great piano skills and even took a picture with the four seniors. Not just in Crescentville–a daughter like her brings honor to the family nationwide. If I were the Nelsons‘ ancestor, I’d be haunting their dreams, scolding them for not appreciating her greatness.”
Amidst the flattering praises and the sudden noisy criticisms, Cody and Rebecca were speechless and found themselves in an awkward and embarrassing situation they had never faced before. They couldn’t decide whether to stand up or sit down.
Initially, they were supposed to bask in the admiration of Crescentville’s elite, but now it all turned into a laughingstock
The mastermind behind this whole mess was Shakira. She took the glory that should have been Yvette’s. She insisted on being the center of attention, causing us to be laughed at. This naturally rebellious girl wouldn’t stop until she made our lives miserable.
The couple’s faces turned from pale to flushed with anger. If the coordinators hadn’t come up to motion them back to their seats, they might have left due to embarrassment.
Their eyes were red with fury as they watched Shakira calmly taking pictures with the seniors acting as if she hadn’t just caused a big commotion.
They looked at her as if they wanted to tear her apart then and there.
On stage, Shakira posed for numerous photos with Matthew and the seniors from different angles. They took almost a dozen shots, but Matthew still wasn’t satisfied.

Shakira whispered, “Alright, it’s time for me to go.”

Matthew chuckled and deliberately raised his voice. “No need to be shy, kid. Considering your parents dead, we really should have a few more photos with you.
Shakira said, “Thank you so much, grandpas.”
Cody and Rebecca were so angry that they nearly turned blue. They thought, We are not dead. We’re still alive and plan to live to be a hundred.
In the front row, Benji. Calton, and Gavin were already doubled over with laughter. If the time was right, they would have popped the champagne and celebrated. Even Kyle, who was usually as gentle as jade, couldn’t help but crack a smile.
“Wow, Ms. Shakira Nelson sure has a sharp tongue,” Gavin chuckled, rubbing his chin with amusement.
After first seeing the girl beside Walter, they, as good friends of Walter, didn’t mention it but quietly did some investigating. So, they were all too familiar with the trouble at the Nelson family concerning Shakira
Walter gazed at the dazzling woman on stage, his admiration clear on his handsome face. As she played, her fingers moved gracefully over the keys, her elegant demeanor leaving a lasting impression on him.
Walter’s eyes were deep–set and filled with endless darkness; he thought, ‘medicine, cooking, fashion design, and piano
At first, he wanted nothing more than to strangle her. Now, he was grateful he had kept her by his side.
Walter thought, ‘Shakira, how many secrets and surprises do you have that I don’t know about?
“Hey, look at Mr. Lopez. He has become quite lovestruck. Hasn’t he?‘
Upon hearing the teasing from the side, Walter didn’t look away continuing to openly watch as Shakira’s patience faded. while she posed for forced photos on stage. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly. “Not bad. keeping up the good work.”
Calton widened his eyes, almost choking. That performance was amazing. Is it only a steady work? Mr. Lopez sure has high standards.
Benji tilted his head, looking proud. “She’s my future sister–in–law, so she has to match up with my brother.”
Hearing this, Calton and Cavin exchanged a glance and suddenly realized it made a lot of sense. If she was not strong enough, how could she possibly stand up to Big Devil?
