Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 859 Embarrassment

Everyone had their eyes glued to Selena, thinking she wouldn't dare step up.

In the high society scene, Selena was a nobody. If it wasn't for Raymond, no one would even know her name.

Right then, everyone was ready for some drama, throwing mocking glances her way.

Austin was getting jittery on the side, but then he caught a glimpse of Selena heading towards the stage.

Everyone's jaws dropped. Was Selena nuts? If she went up now, she'd totally embarrass herself.

Selena wasn't dressed to impress tonight. She was here for business, so her simple outfit was a stark contrast to Aria's glammed-up look.

These high society shindigs happened a few times a month. Selena wouldn't have shown up if it wasn't for business.

Once Selena got on stage, she gave a slow nod to the crowd, then looked at Aria with confidence.

Aria's face turned sour. 'Selena actually has the guts to come up. Fine, tonight she'll be the laughingstock of the whole circle!'

"Selena, I've decided to play Kiss the Rain. You can play The Devil's Tremolo," Aria said with a bright smile, lifting her skirt and taking a seat at the piano.

The stage lights were all about Aria, making her look even more stunning.
