Bending close, he sealed the conversation with a kiss.

Certainly not, because he wouldn't be with her over the next four years. Instead, he would be waiting for her in the future... At that time, Rena would already be a mature woman and a mother of three children.

Unbeknownst to Rena, she reveled in their togetherness.

Handsome and affluent, Waylen possessed a deep understanding of her. She felt at ease in his company.

Following breakfast, Waylen accompanied Rena to school.

His vehicle was quite conspicuous.

As they reached the school gates, Rena refused to proceed further, yet their presence drew a fair share of attention.

Gnawing at her lower Lip, she said unhappily, "It's all your fault Saddened by her situation, Waylen offered a comforting kiss.

"I'll change the car tomorrow."

Tempted, Rena bestowed a kiss on his chin before stepping out of the car.

Watching her retreating form, Waylen finally identified whom Alexis resembled.

Alexis took after him.

Yet, there was a striking resemblance to the young Rena.

Waylen dialed a number, stating.

"Spread the word that the original piano solo opportunity was designated for Aline. Eventually, the school selected Rena due to her background. Ensure Rena‘s protection around the clock."

That afternoon, Rena crossed paths with Aline.

News of the piano solo had traversed the music school, generating a spectacle of sorts.

Aline seethed with resentment.

Since Rena had got so much, why did Rena snatch her opportunity? Many celebrities in Duefron would be present in this school anniversary. It was an important opportunity for Aline.

She was not willing to give up so easily. Seeing Rena's composed demeanor, she sneered, “It's not over yet. Don't get too comfortable.”

Unperturbed by such opportunities for self-presentation, Rena harbored no interest.

Aline's intent lay in establishing connections with celebrities. Rena had no such desire, yet she wouldn't willingly forgo an opportunity that had been granted to her by the school.
