Chapter 62
Jennifer met Sheena’s eyes, confused at Sheena’s confidence in claiming her gown was genuine.
Moreover, when did Sheena learn to tango?
Even Jennifer had only recently learned the sophisticated dance that was popular among the higher
echelons. The Lover was exceptionally challenging, and she could barely remember all the steps.
What if Sheena really knew the dance and performed better than her?
Jennifer felt uneasy.
Seeing that Jennifer remained quiet, Sheena smirked. “Are you afraid, Ms. Moore?”
Her words were a blatant provocation.
If Jennifer did not accept, it would undoubtedly reflect poorly on her, possibly even making her appear
guilty.
Erin immediately stepped up to boost Jennifer’s confidence, saying, “Jenny, don’t be afraid. If she’s
suggesting it, let her go first. Let her have her wish to embarrass herself in public!”

Jennifer’s eyes lit up. She had almost forgotten that Sheena’s gown was a knockoff, and even if she
danced well, the seams would likely give way, leading to embarrassment.
With that in mind, Jennifer said, “Since you insist, let’s consider these two dances today as a form of
entertainment for our esteemed guests.”
Then, she lightly lifted the hem of her gown, smiling as she bowed to the audience.
Her gesture was very well received by the crowd, earning a lot of approving glances from them.
When it came to the choice of who would dance first, Jennifer decided to take the lead as she was
confident that Sheena would embarrass herself with her dance moves. Moreover, she wanted to draw
attention and create anticipation for Sheena’s performance.
Since the Lover was a partnered dance, Jennifer instinctively looked in Elijah’s direction. However, he
was nowhere to be seen.
In a situation like this, Jennifer could not simply run out to find him. Instead, she chose one of the more
handsome guests among the many who had invited her to dance.
As the music began, the two moved to the rhythm of the melody.
Jennifer’s dance was not the most stunning, but she remembered the first half’s steps and performed
them fairly well. Nonetheless, the banquet was held for her homecoming, so the crowd applauded her
efforts.
Jennifer was delighted, thinking her performance had impressed everyone, and she danced
enthusiastically. However, as she danced along with the music and executed an upward arm
movement, she suddenly heard a faint tearing sound from inside her arm.
The sound was barely audible, drowned out by the music, but as the person experiencing it,
Jennifer felt it distinctly.
Did her gown’s seam tear at that moment?
Jennifer panicked, wondering how that was possible when her gown was undoubtedly genuine,
Was it because her movements were too big?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeeling frustrated and anxious, Jennifer restrained her movements. However, she missed a beat
because she was distracted, and her right foot accidentally stepped on her dance partner.
An abrupt silence fell over the scene.
Blushing with embarrassment, Jennifer quickly pulled her foot back, ending the dance.
“I’m sorry about that. I’ve only recently returned from overseas, and I began learning Lover just two
days ago. So, my performance wasn’t up to par.”
Erin was extremely gracious, saying, “Jenny, it’s really impressive for you to dance like this after
learning it for just two days!”
Many of the guests joined in with compliments for the sake of the Moore family’s reputation.
Kennedy and Vanessa smiled in response.
Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, now even more convinced that her earlier mishap was due to her
overzealous movements.
She refused to believe that her gown was a knockoff!
Although not performed flawlessly, the dance had at least ended without any major issues with the
gown.
Everyone turned to look at Sheena.
Erin was ready for Sheena to embarrass herself, and she smugly said, “It’s your turn!”
