Roland's POV

After sending the last message to Gina, I waited for her reply but did not get any. Dad was chatting with some business partners. I was looking at my phone every now and then, waiting for a reply from Gina.

Some of Mum's friends came over, and she chatted with them for a bit. I was not listening, but then someone mentioned that GL was present.

    Roland's POVAfter sending the last message to Gina, I waited for her reply but did not get any. Dad was chatting with some business partners. I was looking at my phone every now and then, waiting for a reply from Gina.Some of Mum's friends came over, and she chatted with them for a bit. I was not listening, but then someone mentioned that GL was present."You mentioned the last time that you wanted to invite her for your birthday makeup but booked late. Maybe you can take the chance to ask her for an exception," someone said."Why bother? Everyone who asked her this evening was politely declined because of health issues," another replied."It depends on who is asking. I heard she did a home call for Mrs. Lopez today. She has refused that for ten years now," another said."Are you sure?" one of the ladies asked. I honestly could not understand why ladies were so particular about their looks. "Of course. I overheard Mrs. Peterson complaining bitterly about it. She said her sister-in-

    Gina's POVAfter my performance, I returned to the waiting area, sat for a bit, and took pictures with Jane, who insisted.After that, I found an excuse to leave. I returned to the room and changed back into my outfit as Gina."You are not leaving yet?" Lisa asked me."No. You load Mum's things into the car and leave first," I instructed.I got out of the changing room and returned to my seat.When I arrived, only the elderly woman was sitting there.I picked up my phone and texted Mum.Where are you?"Your eyes look a lot like someone I know," the elderly woman said.I blinked. "Oh," I answered awkwardly. I did not understand what she meant by that statement.Mum once said my eyes looked so much like my grandma's. I was about five years old when she died. Honestly, I could barely remember her clearly.The woman kept looking at me. Her gaze felt like she was trying to see through me, and I was not sure how to react.I received a message from Mum saying she would be right back.Just as

    NarratorGrace was looking at the person speaking on stage. Meanwhile, the nanny, Leah, was taking in her reaction. Could she really be the one? she thought.Although the last time she saw Ellen, she was twenty, the person before her—apart from looking older—looked a lot like the Ellen in her memory. At first, there was nothing in her reaction. She even drank water calmly, but her reaction at the mention of Liam's name, and even the way she looked at him on stage, was too strong to ignore.After thinking for a while, Leah decided to test her."CEO Liam had a tough childhood, losing his parents early. Now, seeing him standing tall, I can finally rest easy." Her voice was soft, her gaze fixed on the stage, but in reality, she was watching Grace for a reaction.Grace, hearing those words, took a deep breath. From this woman's statement, she confirmed that the person on stage was indeed her brother. But why did he not come looking for her? she wondered.She took another deep breath to cal

    Grace's POVI felt a sudden bitterness watching my daughter get humiliated by Julianna and her friend. My daughter should be the princess of the Lopez family.All these years, I had never thought of returning to the Lopez family without hearing from my brother, but today, I felt the need to disobey.I thought we were going to be chased out, but it turned out that Mrs. Lopez had given us an invite that could not be revoked. I guessed she did it because of her sister-in-law; after all, I had refused to do her makeup. Judging by her daughter's attitude, she would be petty."When do you plan to expose your identity? You don't plan to have a wedding with a mask, right?" I asked Gina when we found our seats.It was in a good spot. There were just four seats at our table. The fourth person was not here yet, so I was not worried about the wrong people hearing it."Mum, since when do you care so much about what others say?" Gina asked."It is not that I care; I just don't see the point of cont

Just a few days ago, she said she had the perfect opportunity for me to investigate.She managed to get me an invite for the Lopez anniversary celebration. Although it was a normal ticket, I was glad to have it. Even Ethan, who had been acting strange for a few weeks, was soon all over me.His mother had been subtle about being against our relationship, but hearing that I managed to get an invite for this occasion, she started treating me as well as when Ethan and I first made our relationship public.She even offered to pay for my dress for the event.I happily accepted it.

    Gina's POVI did not expect to run into Julianna here, but I had no reason to explain myself to her.I let her believe whatever she wanted. Mrs. Lopez offered us an invite, and Mum accepted it. I felt it was a good thing. I could wait inside until it was closer to my time to perform.I immediately sent instructions to Lisa, asking her to bring me a change of outfits. Mum and I first got changed. Mrs. Lopez let us use a room close to the location to store our things."Let me help with your makeup," Mum said. She helped with my makeup, and as usual, I was looking beautiful.The three of us, holding the invites, walked over to the hall.It was an event center owned by the Lopez family. It was attached to the main house and was hardly opened to the public. This family was quite traditional."Aunty Grace," just as we stepped into the hall, we ran into Emily and Ethan.I looked at them.
