The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 319

Kali couldn’t help but scoff at Citrine’s words. “Crush me? Wow, you sure talk big.”

Citrine didn’t bother to respond, waving her hand impatiently. “Less talking, more dancing. You’re up first.”

At that, Kali’s expression shifted, her face suddenly serious.

Today, she was going to show Citrine what real domination looked like.

She picked a notoriously challenging routine.

The moment the music started, Kali stepped into the spotlight.

When it came to dance, Kali believed she was born for it. From the very first beat, her every move was seamless, her body gliding across the floor with an effortless sensuality that sent shivers through the crowd.

When the song ended, the entire room erupted in applause.

“Kali, you’re amazing! I’m rooting for you!”

“She’s got me hooked—are you trying to reel me in like a fish, goddess?”

“I’d marry you twice in three years if I could!”

“I already know what we’d name our kids!”

…

As the cheers died down, Kali lifted her chin, confidence radiating from her, and shot Citrine a disdainful look. “Your turn.”

Citrine’s expression was calm, almost indifferent. “You’d better pay attention.”

The next track began. Citrine swept her chestnut hair behind her shoulders, the strands catching the light as she moved.

She was dancing to the exact same music, performing the same choreography as Kali.

Hearing the whispers around her, Kali’s face turned a furious shade of red.

She thought it was over, but out of nowhere, Citrine turned to her and asked, “Kali, do you know the story behind the lyrics of this song?”

Kali hesitated, caught off guard.

The story? Wasn’t it just a random track? What story?

“Don’t know, do you?” Citrine pressed, her gaze fixed on Kali.

Surrounded by students, Kali shot a quick, embarrassed glance around, then nodded, swallowing her pride.

Citrine broke into a mocking smile. “So this is the level of culture from Crestwood University’s star student? Color me disappointed.”

She continued, her tone casual but cutting. “This song is actually about a love story from the World War II era. The heroine, Jenny, and the hero, Parker, met at a military academy. Both became officers, drawn together by their shared sense of duty. Their bond deepened as they served their country, leading them to marriage. But that time was full of turmoil and war; long separations were inevitable. Each answered the call of duty, taking on separate missions. Years later, they were both killed in action. The lyrics are inspired by those first days of their bittersweet love story.”
