Deep down. Tracy knew it her daughter had truly pulled away–not just from her, but from the entire Years family.
Tracy h
chad always believed that, no matter what rifts or conflicts cropped up between them, they’d find a way to work through it. She thought it was just a matter of time, that they still had plenty of time in heal and reconnect.
But now, the daughter she’d carried in her womb, the flesh of her flesh, was slipping away, little by line. I felt like a sharp knife carving into her heart, slowly choking her with pain as if her very soul was being pierced.
Would Elaine never let me back in she thought
Tracy felt regrets seep into her bones, thick and suffocating
She regretted not responding when Elaine had called her “Mo” all those years ago.
She regretted not pulling Elaine into a warm embrace when she offered to do acupuncture on her–instead, she had distanced herself, afraid of Bianca seeing their closeness and becoming hurt
There were so many regress. So many.
Especially this morning when she’d come across the bracelet Elaine had once given her. It had seemed too plain, too old–fashioned, so Tracy had tossed it aside and shoved it into the back of a drawer.
Elaine had given her so many things like that tokens of love.
Now, looking at those forgotten gifts. Tracy couldn’t help but feel the weight
ght of memories flood over her. Tears welled up in her eyes
Elaine had truly loved her as a mother, but Tracy had never properly cherished that love.
No love, once rejected, would ever bum as brightly as it once had
Those moments of indifference and coldness had pushed Elaine further and further away. Without even realizing it, Tracy had driven her daughter into full–blown opposition
Tracy thought. Elaine, I was wrong! I know now that I was wrong!
All she could do now was hope–hope that one day, she might get the chance to make things right.
Bianca, however, never expected that, even now. Tracy would continue to defend Elaine.
It was just as the online commentators had said, no matter what, blood always ran deeper. No matter how much things changed, that bond was the strongest. Bianca, on the other hand, was just an outsider, someone who could easily be discarded and hurt without a second thought.
From a place where Tracy couldn’t see, Bianca’s eyes burned with hatred–for the first time
She believed that everything that had happened was Elaine’s fault. Everything
She was where she was because of Elaine.
And she was not going to sit by and let it all happen.
She couldn’t understand why no matter how she tried to appear kind and innocent, life never seemed to let her off the hook
Bianca had convinced herself that Elaine’s rejection by her new family–parents, brothers, grandmother–was all Elaine’s own doing. Elaine had been so manipulative, so scheming, always trying to win the family over and roh Bianca of her place in the Years family.
With that kind of heart, Bianca believed, Elaine didn’t deserve to be born into such a prestigious family. She didn’t deserve Finley
Bianca couldn’t understand why, after all this time of quietly enduring, never confronting Elaine head–on, she had ended up losing everything. Her high status. Her place in the family.
Everyone was now rallying behind Elaine.
Bianca felt like she was on the brink of becoming the villain.
If Elaine knew why Bianca was turning so bitter, she would probably laugh herself silly, thinking. Bianca loves playing the innocent, delicate little girl, always blaming everyone else for her misfortune”
Of course, Elaine had never ser
seen a protagonist’s “villain turn before. Maybe she’d even be curious to see it happen.
Meanwhile, the reputation of both the Years family and Galaxy Entertainment was taking an unprecedented hit.
The company’s stock price was plummeting, and even the firms that had planned to collaborate with them were starting to waver, adopting more

The scandal was still trending, and it wasn’t just the entertainment world being shaken. Public opinion was crucial. And a family willing to throw their daughter under the bus for profit? That made everyone nervous.
Business partners had better he careful–not knowing when they might end up getting burned by people who were this ruthless and cold–hearted. The first person to feel the direct effects of all this was Robert.
He had been representing the Yeats family’s subsidiaries at a major event and was about to finalize a business deal with a key executive. Just as they were on the verge of signing, a secretary suddenly approached the executive and whispered something in his car.
The executive, who had been moments away from agreeing, immediately stood up, apologizing and claiming he had to leave for an urgent matter.
The deal was off
