She almost had it…

In the evening, as per the time stated on the invitation, Cecilia had her driver take her to the opera house.

As soon as she arrived, she noticed quite a few famous people and media personnel present.

There were also some former college classmates.

Stella had booked the concert hall and the exhibition hall of the opera house. Entry was strictly limited to those who were invited. Anyone else was turned away.

Cecilia entered with an invitation in hand and was guided to a spot that offered a broad view.

From there, she had a view of most of the venue.

At first, she didn’t quite grasp Stella’s intentions, not until she saw that familiar silhouette before the performance began. Then, she understood.

Surprisingly, Nathaniel had also arrived. He sat in the first row,

Didn’t he say he wouldn’t come?

Cecilia couldn’t help but scoff. Whenever he faced Stella, he never truly rejected her.

Stella was brimming with satisfaction.

With Nathaniel present, the media flocked to cover Stella. All the news about her was positive.

Those affluent college classmates who used to look down on her were now vying for her attention, hoping to get close to Nathaniel. They were all relentlessly pursuing her.

However, their plans had fallen through. This was because Nathaniel was surrounded by bodyguards, making it impossible for anyone to get close to him.

Before long, a bodyguard respectfully approached Cecilia.

“Ms. Smith, our CEO has requested your presence.”

Without any reason to refuse, Cecilia stepped forward.

For a moment, all eyes were on her.

“Isn’t that Cecilia?”

“Didn’t they say she was dead?”

“Exactly! She has come back from the dead!”

The classmates who knew Cecilia were whispering amongst themselves.

Cecilia sat next to Nathaniel under the weight of curious gazes from all around.

“Mr. Rainsworth, why did you summon me? Is there something you need?”

Nathaniel’s sharp gaze fell upon her. “Didn’t you say you wanted to recover your memory? I’m here to help you.”

For some unknown reason, a sense of unease began to creep up from the bottom of Cecilia’s heart under his scrutinizing gaze.

Fortunately, Stella took the stage at that moment.

On stage, Stella immediately noticed Cecilia sitting with Nathaniel. A glimmer of hidden emotion flashed through her eyes, but she didn’t let it show.

Before she began to sing, she slowly started to speak.

“The song I performed today is a new one, dedicated to my first love, who also happens to be the only person I’ve ever loved.”

First love, the only one she had ever loved…

Back then, everyone in the school knew that Stella, a pauper, had managed to latch onto the influential Rainsworth family, specifically Nathaniel.

Hence, everyone knew she was referring to Nathaniel.

Since it was essentially an internal performance, some people began to cheer.
