“But didn’t Mr. and Mrs. Nelson confirm she was their daughter with their reaction just now? Before the performance, they were making such a big deal about how their daughter was going to play the piano!”

“Exactly! They were even preparing to go on stage and take photos with the Elders. If she wasn’t their daughter, they have really made a fool of themselves!”

“I heard that the current Ms. Nelson isn’t actually their biological child. Apparently, there was a mix–up at the hospital when she was born. Later, they found their real daughter, but they haven’t made it public. Looks like this girl is actually the real Ms. Nelson!”

“Wow, if I had a daughter that talented, I’d be shouting about it from the rooftops! Why on earth are the Nelsons hiding her?”

“What else could it be? The child grew up without them. How could she possibly be as important as the one they raised? That extravagant birthday party they threw–every other wealthy family must be jealous. They pamper their adopted daughter so much, but we all know that blood doesn’t always make someone better!”

“That’s just cruel. No wonder she says she has no parents. The way the Nelsons treated her must have hurt her deeply.”

“She’s a musical prodigy! And she even got to take photos with The Four Elders. Forget about Eragos- there’s no other daughter in the country who’s as impressive as she is. If I were one of the Nelsons‘ ancestors, I’d be haunting them, cursing them for not recognizing their own treasure!”

The surrounding chatter quickly shifted from compliments to a more judgmental tone. Willard and Olympia, unaccustomed to this level of humiliation, didn’t know whether to stay seated or leave.

They had imagined themselves soaking in the admiring gazes of the elite from all over Eragos, but now, those looks had turned into mockery and scorn.

And the reason for all of this? Charmaine.

It was Charmaine who had stolen the limelight that was supposed to be Leah’s. It was Charmaine who had taken center stage, leaving them in this embarrassing situation.

This rebellious daughter had done nothing but bring them trouble, and it seemed she wasn’t done making things worse.
