?Chapter 1048:


    Rosanna turned slightly and found herself staring into Raegan’s eyes.


    Recognition flickered across her face. “You’re… Ms. Cooper’s assistant, aren’t you?”


    “Impressive. You still remember me,” Raegan replied with a faint smile. “I assume you’re eager to meet Ms. Cooper. I do have a way, though I’m uncertain if you’re brave enough to try it.”


    Her gaze lingered on Rosanna as she leaned closer and whispered, “I’ve heard you’re skilled at the piano. What if you perform tonight at the reception? If you manage to face your fears and finish the piece, I’ll make sure you’re introduced to Ms. Cooper.”


    The suggestion stunned Rosanna.


    Memories of her defeat at Maia’s hands in a pianopetition rushed back, reminding her why she had abandoned the instrument ever since.


    Why would Raegan demand such a thing?


    And how could this woman possibly know about the scars she carried?


    “I’ll do it.” Clenching her fists, Rosanna forced herself to agree.

    At the same time, Kiley noticed Raegan already speaking with Rosanna, and her smile deepened.


    Although she was curious to meet Rosanna, she would never allow her eagerness to be too apparent.


    Barriers and trials had to be set in ce so that Rosanna would cherish the privilege of standing before her.


    In addition, Kiley wanted Rosanna to break free from the shadow Maia had cast over her. Only then could she be considered a weapon sharp enough to wield.


    Kiley’s mind never rested, always turning with schemes and calctions.


    Before long, Rosanna was seated at the piano.


    Several guests recognized her instantly, and whispers spread quickly among the women.

    “Isn’t that the Morgan family’s daughter? How could she possibly receive an invitation from the Cooper Group?”


    “That’s right! She caused such a scandal before. Everyone here still remembers the scene she created with Axell at the party.”


    “I heard the Morgan family disowned her. The only daughter they acknowledge now is Maia, though I also heard Maia has already cut ties with them.”


    “That’s right. Word is the Morgan family regrets it terribly, and they began treating Maia like their true daughter and even defend her whenever they hear someone speak ill of her.”


    “How ridiculous! The impostor has taken the ce of the rightful one.”


    Each remark struck Rosanna like a de as she stood beside the piano. She bit her lower lip, trying to steady herself against the sting of their gossip.
