Chapter 1024 "Wow, Lila, you look absolutely stunning tonight!" "Lila, happy birthday!" "Lila, may I have this dance?" The Fletcher family had gone all out for Lila's birthday celebration, inviting the elite of Cloudflare City's upper class. It was clear how much importance they placed on her, and everyone in attendance understood this, treating her with great kindness and respect.
Lila, with her flawless makeup and sweet smile, gracefully declined the young man who had asked her to dance. Instead, she said with a grin, "You should invite my sister-in-law to the opening dance. She's an amazing dancer." The young man's gaze shifted toward Selena, and his eyes lit up with admiration.
Selena was dressed in a sleek black gown, simple in design but perfectly tailored to accentuate her elegant figure.

"Selena, Lila's dress isn't suitable for dancing. Why don't you take the opening dance tonight?" Nathalie maintained a warm and gentle expression, exuding the appearance of a loving mother-in-law, her act impeccable. To outsiders, it seemed as though she and Selena shared a harmonious relationship.
A few guests nearby turned to watch the interaction, and Nathalie was certain that Selena wouldn't dare refuse. After all, a rejection here would surely tarnish her standing in their social circle.
Selena's eyes flickered briefly before she set her champagne glass down.
"Alright, I'll give it a try," she said, seemingly agreeing.
