Chapter 317 The Special Guest
If Emma hadn’t ruined her face, Naomi wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

She’d already spent four million just on medical bribes and treatment. And now she had to wear this synthetic skin in public while gritting her teeth through the pain beneath it.
All of it–because of Emma.
“Emma, did you need something from me?” Naomi stepped forward deliberately, showing no intention of avoiding her. Instead, she went on the offensive.
Emma hadn’t expected Naomi, whose face and reputation she had destroyed, to still dare show her face–let alone face her head–on like this.
She gave a cold laugh and reached out to grab Naomi’s chin.
Naomi quickly pulled back, afraid the fake skin on her face might get exposed.
Emma sneered, “Didn’t think your face could heal so fast. Doesn’t matter though—we wrecked it once, we can wreck it again! Don’t think hiding behind a new face means you can do whatever you want. I’m warning you stay away from Soren!”
Emma had always liked Soren. She was a huge fan.
Naomi, hearing that Emma had come to warn her off over Soren, suddenly felt a boost of confidence. “That won’t work,” she said sweetly. “Soren invited me to be his special guest tonight. If I promised to stay away from him, the whole concert would have to be canceled.”
Emma’s expression changed. “Liar! The special guest is chosen randomly tonight–how could you know it’s you?”
“Oh, Ms. Emma, you’re too naïve. Do you really think a concert like this would pick someone at random?”
Naomi smiled. “It’s been decided in advance. I’m scheduled to rehearse with Soren tonight, so I really don’t have time to waste here with you.”
She had come to school early precisely because she needed to rehearse with Soren.
Emma’s face turned darker by the second.
She’d been hoping to be chosen herself–only to find out Naomi got the role?
The others didn’t want to believe it either. The idea that Naomi had been chosen as the guest felt absurd.
Someone stepped forward and snapped, “You’re full of it! Why would they pick you? Talk is cheap- someone like you doesn’t deserve to be near Soren!”
Soren wasn’t just a celebrity–he was the head of Westbrook’s biggest entertainment company. A top star, young, wealthy, and famously decent.
Every girl in the scene dreamed of marrying him. He was never involved in scandals, never showed favoritism. The idea of a pre–selected guest? Unbelievable.
“Believe me or not–it doesn’t matter. You’ll find out soon enough,” Naomi said, her voice calm.

She hated Emma for destroying her face. Getting to rub this in her face was just the revenge she wanted.
Seeing Emma frozen on the spot, speechless, made it all the sweeter.
Naomi strolled proudly to her assigned seat–front row, center stage.
It was the seat of a star.
The students nearby were fuming at how arrogant she was acting. Someone looked ready to drag her off right there.
But Emma spoke coldly. “Let’s go.”
“But-”
“I said let’s go!”
Emma shot one last venomous glare at Naomi before walking away, and her group followed behind.
Naomi sat down smugly.
So what if Emma was the heiress of the Aurora family?
She still couldn’t beat her.
That thought made Naomi feel unbeatable.
To her, Emma was nothing.
