Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 214 Center Stage

Not long after, Sierra glimpsed a woman in a chic white dress popping up on the screen.

The dress was classy and simple, with one shoulder bared, giving a peek at a long, graceful neck that reminded Sierra of a swan.

Slap! Sierra’s hand slammed onto the dressing table, sending things nearby shaking.

The makeup artist and photographer hired by Sierra wisely stayed silent.

Sierra’s face darkened. Maggie was not wearing the dress that had been sent to the school for safekeeping!

Sierra could not believe Maggie’s luck in dodging this disaster.

If not, she would have seen Maggie embarrassing herself in front of everyone.

Feeling let down by the lack of drama, Sierra felt a pang of frustration, wondering why Maggie chose to switch dresses right before going on stage.

So infuriating!

Sierra reclined in her chair, coldly gazing at her phone as she watched Maggie stride to the center of the stage and speak into the microphone.

Sierra shrugged off Maggie’s dress change, knowing she had already arranged for her foundation to be swapped with a powder that would disfigure her.

Within twenty minutes, Maggie’s face would start to itch unbearably, followed by swelling and reddening. If she couldn’t resist scratching, it might even begin to ooze and bleed.

When the moment arrived, irrespective of her performance, she would only have the chance to charm others with her looks in her dreams once more!

Sierra laughed, thankful she had planned ahead and prepared; otherwise, Maggie might be able to avoid this again.

Maggie took to the stage, introducing herself, her school, and her participant number briefly.

Under the intense stage lights, she radiated an elegance and grace reminiscent of a fairy misplaced in the real world, strikingly beautiful.

Nathael, seated centrally in the audience, watched her intently, his eyes filled with a soft affection.

Soon after, Maggie moved towards the piano, an old black instrument that awaited her touch.
