Dn’s hands were tucked into his pockets, looking indifferent. He shrugged and nced admiringly at


    M.


    M didn’t engage him any further. She walked away with Phoebe on her heels. They met ‘Sienna at


    the other end of the room.


    It was Sienna’s first time at such avish party among the upper crust, and she was nervous because


    she didn’t know anyone there. M walked over to her and greeted, “Sienna.”


    Sienna quickly took M’s hands and said, “I finally get to see you.” M gave her a gentle smile. She


    could feel the sweat in Sienna’s palms.


    “Don’t be nervous. Everything will be okay.” M tried to calm Sienna, who nodded in


    response.


    “I’ve no idea where your mom has gone to. She was just right here,” Sienna looked around. “Sienna,


    after today, Betty’s no longer my mom, and I’m no longer Suzanne,” M said.


    “What’s your name, then?”


    “Wanda Hoffis,” M whispered into Sienna’s ears.


    Sienna smiled. “What a beautiful name. Wanda, your parents gave you such a lovely name.


    “It was Nathan’s idea,” M giggled.


    Sienna looked confused. Suddenly, the entire party was shrouded in mystery as the music changed


    and the room dimmed.


    All eyes were drawn to the stage. Stage lights slowly emerged from the backstage door as the music


    grew melodious.

    enthusiastically despite the cliché remarks.


    Basking in happiness, Sally had the sweetest smile and was glowing like a princess.


    M surveyed the crowd and saw that all the important guests had arrived–television executives,


    lawyers, prosecutors, policemen, the mayor, and the very influential Defense General, Nathan.


    Phoebe leaned in close to M’s ear and asked, “M, when do we start?”


    “Where’s my grandparents?” M asked.


    Phoebe pointed at the side of the stage. “They’re sitting over there. They’ll be doing the speeches


    soon.”


    After a moment of thought, M said, “Let’s not wait any longer and begin.”


    Phoebe’s excitement grew, and a smile slowly spread across her face. It was finally time for the big


    move. She pulled out a remote control and pointed it at the screen on the stage before pressing a


    button on it.

    not Sally Hoffis. She’s a fraud.”


    Murmurs erupted from the crowd as they pointed at the screen. Dn and Sally were stunned. on


    stage. They followed where everyone looked and slowly turned around.


    Dn was dumbfounded, while Sally was flustered.


    Her face went pale as she angrily demanded, “Who’s behind this? Who did this? Turn it off now!”


    “It was me.” Phoebe calmly made her way out of the crowd.


    All eyes in the room turned to her, eager to know who she was.

    authority as she approached the two of them.


    A shadow fell over Dn’s face. The sight of Phoebe reminded Sally of Suzanne, which deepened her


    guilt. She couldn’t hold back her rage. “Security! Remove this woman. She’s not my guest. Remove her


    now!”

    threw them over her shoulders and mmed them hard to the floor.
