Leila feIt a sharp pain, like someone had kicked her hard in the stomach.making it spasm.

She lay on the ground for a few seconds before managing to get up by holding onto the wall.

As soon as she stood up, she noticed a long tear in the hem of her skirt.completely ruining its original beauty.

"Haha, serves you right!" A kid at the door was gleefully shaking his butt at her.

Leila felt dizzy, and by the time she looked up, the kid had already run off.

She was furious and shouted, "Nora! Nora!"

Nora rushed in, "What's wrong? Oh my god, how did your dress get torn?"

Leila gritted her teeth, "Get me the surveillance footage, find out who came in here just now."

Nora nodded and asked, "What should we do now about your dress?"

"Go get the spare one," A look of regret flashed in Leila's eyes, and she scolded loudly, "It's all your fault. Why weren't you watching over me? Go get it now!"

Owen, who was hiding behind the curtains, took the chance to sneak out unnoticed.

The two kids met up in the banquet hall.

Raymond's little face was lit up with excitementas he covered his mouth

and said to Owen, "You should've seen the look on that wicked Leila's face.so pale."

Owen's brows drew together,"What if she finds out?"

Raymond waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm the only kid in the family.what can that wicked Leila do to me? You know what? She is all smiles in front of you but stabs you in the back. Last year on my birthday,she was so nice to me in front of others, but as soon as they left, she called me a jinx because I accidentally stepped on her skirt."

Owen's expression was thoughtful, "No wonder you're displeased with her."

Raymond put his arm around Owen's shoulder and headed towards Sophia, "Listen, as long as I don't agree, she can never marry my uncle.".

"You're that powerful?" Owen looked at him with admiration but was clearly skeptical.

Raymond immediately stopped, "Of course, just wait and see."

"Owen." Sophia noticed them, "Where did you go just now? Is this the classmate you mentioned?"

Owen nodded, looking like a little adult, "We went to the restroom.This is Raymond Spencer."

Raymond sweetly called out, "Hello, MMrs. Tudor, you're so beautiful."

He looked at Sophia, then at his friend, and scratched his head suspiciously.

"Why don't you two look alike? Everyone says I look just like my mom."He asked.

Sophia's face stiffened. Owen wasn't her biological child, so it would be strange if they looked alike.

"I look like my dad. My dad is dead." Owen spoke softly, "Raymond, don't bring this up again. It makes my mom and me sad."

Raymond looked apologetic, nodded, and went to his family.

Sophia pulled Owen to sit next to Amelia and told her about the conversation.

Amelia was briefly startled, increasingly feeling that her son didn't seem like a four-year-old child.

"Owen. try not to talk too much in crowded places. The more you say, the more mistakes you might make, understand?" She patted Owen's head and advised.

Suddenly, a low sneer sounded behind her.

Amelia immediately stiffened, knowing without turning around who it was.

"Ms. White, are you overstepping your bounds?" Chris stared at her ears with a half-smile, his intense gaze making Amelia feel extremely irritated.

She took a deep breath, put on a smile, and turned to look at him,speaking in an exceptionally tender tone, "Mind your own business and leave me alone"

Chris raised an eyebrow and smirked, "Is this how Ms. White talks to her savior? People might think you're a heartless shrew if word got out."

What a venomous man!

"Ms. White is not a shrew. She's very kind to me, like a beautiful fairy." At

this moment. Owen stood up. "I don't allow you to talk about Ms.White like that."

It's amazing how a kid like him could always remember so many titles accurately and say them at the right time.

Chris glanced at him and changed the subject, "What's your name?"

"I don't like you, and I don't want to tell you." Owen turned and sat next to Sophia,ignoring Chris.

Amelia felt delighted and couldn't help but tease, "Mr. Spencer, you are quite a loser, even a child doesn't like you."

Chris replied coldly, "Luckily, he's not my son, or I'd spank him."

Amelia quickly fired back, "Whoever becomes your son is unlucky. But with Mr. Spencer's wedding to Ms. Ross approaching,you'll probably have a son soon. I hope you won't be looked down upon in the future."

Chris's face turned cold, and a chill emanated from him.

At this moment, the host took the stage and introduced the concert's program. The first part was the grand entrance of the main character, Leila.Amelia glanced absentmindedly,feeling puzzled.

Today was supposed to be Leila's big day, but why was she wearing an ordinary evening gown?

Although the gown was paired with extravagant diamond jewelry, it couldn't hide the dullness of the white satin dress.

All the lights in the venue went out, leaving only a soft spotlight on Leila.However,the effect was mediocre because the large diamonds on her ears

and neck refracted the light, making her face somewhat blurry.

As a result, the audience and media had little reaction,and some even whispered that she couldn't carry off the jewelry.

Leila's eyes reddened wwith anger.

Originally, the spotlight and her stunning diamond dress were supposed to complement each other, making her shine like a princess. Her team had even conducted a simulation experiment for this.

But she couldn't back down.

She had more important things to do.

"Before the concert begins, I have something to announce." She smiled and glanced backstage.

Nora immediately brought up the painting.

Seeing the painting, Amelia's expression stiffened.

It was the one she had painted.

"What's going on? We're here for a concert."

"Yeah,why bring out a painting covered with cloth?"

"What are they doing, making it so mysterious?"

The audience whispered among themselves.

"Everyone,please bear with me for a moment." Leila began her monologue.

"Today is a very important day for me. The people who care about and support me are all here,including the person I love the most."

The audience immediately applauded, like thunder.

Amelia couldn't help but frown. Was Leila goingto confess?

Chris was right behind her, and she wondered what he was thinking.

"Thank you all for your support. I'm very excited." She smiled,seemingly with tears in her eyes, "When I came back, I said I would win back my first love, and today is the day."

She looked towards the audience, in Chris's direction.
