Chapter 227
When Bianca returned to Boynton, the first person she sought out was Finley. Though no one knew what she’d done in Lento, the lingering dread of almost bring caught still gnawed at her heart.
She knocked on Finley’s door in the dead of night. When he saw her, his surprise quickly turned to joy–he hadn’t seen the news online yes.
“Bianca, didn’t you go to Lento to find Calvin? How are you back so
Bianca
at his doorstep, saying nothing, her face breaking into a fragile yet beautiful smile.
“Finley, I’ve finally found you. With that, she collapsed weakly into his arms, her breath brushing against his chin
“Finley, you don’t know how helpless and terrified I felt when I was in Lento. But now, seeing you, I’m not scared anymore.”
Finley’s heart ached as he held her, spinning to take her back to his room. “Don’t worry, baby. I’m here.”
Bianca tearfully recounted everything that had happened at Lento. The more she cried, the more Finley’s heart chattered.
“I only believed Maggie’s nonsense, and thought there was another man in Elaine’s room. We were both so blinded by rage, we barged in with everyone else. Who knew, who knew we’d find Kingsley.”
She couldn’t even finish that sentence- embarrassing.
Of course, she didn’t say that last part out loud.
Finley listened, his mind now understanding the full story.
“Maggie… she’s the one who’s obsessed with Calvin, right?”
Bianca nodded. “Yes”
It wasn’t just obsession–it was a full–on obsession.
No wonder. Her seven brothers were all extraordinary, the elite of the elite. It was normal for the rich young ladies around them to develop feelings for her brothers.
To get close to them, many of those women would try to win Bianca over, just like Daisy had.
Finley said. “I remember there’s bad blood between Maggie and Elaine. It’s probably because Maggie’s holding a grudge against her, so she went out of her way to cause all this. Since she’s the one behind all of it, we won’t let her drag you down”
“Don’t worry. I’ll go explain things to Elaine
Bianca smiled softly, watching how Finley was so protective of her. “Finley, you’re so kind”
She knew that as long as she played her cards right,
t, acted fragile in front of him, Finley would always choose to protect her over Elaine.
Cheryl, upon hearing Bianca had fled the scene, couldn’t help but laugh. “Elaine, what’s up with Bianca? Supposedly a big shot, yet she nins off at the slightest scare? The police haven’t even come knocking, and she’s already gone.”
“Yeah, now she’s left Calvin to clean up the mess. Wonder what he’s thinking right
Elaine, of course, knew that Bianca had rushed back to seduce Finley. She just smiled faintly and explained to her friend.
“If she didn’t rush back, how would she play the sympathy card with Finley! This whole drugging incident will inevitably make its way to Boynton. Bianca’s terrified that the truth will come out, and everyone will see her as the evil woman behind it all, shattering her innocent image. So now, she’s going back to smooth things over.”
Cheryl scoffed. “At this point, she’s just focusing on her man game. No surprise there. She’s been getting crushed by you lately, so I guess she’s putting all her effort into the one area she can control–men
“But will Finley buy Bianca’i liri! I’ve realized, Blanca’s a master at spinning sony
Blaine smiled. “Why wouldn’t he believe hert As long as Bianca shrils a few tears, Finley will be all over her, thinking she’s sweet and pure, and that I’m just the nasty one trying to bring her down”
Cheryl gritted her teeth. “She’s or crafty woman, setting up everything in advance. Though her plot against you failed, she’s still coming out unscathed. She could go back to pretending to be the sweet, innocent girl”
Ugh, Finley blind. Once Bianca’s true colon come out, I bet he’ll regret it. Honestly, I’m kind of looking forward to je“

Bianca in her rush to return to Boynton, hadn’t even had a chance to meet the illegitimate son of the Morgan family. Who knew when that meeting would happen.
Meanwhile, the drama surrounding Bianca continued to stir online.
Although there was no solid proof linking Bianca to the drugging of Elaine, a video of Bianca and Calvin storming into a room to catch someone the act had gone viral.
Bianca’s barely contained excitement as she barged in, followed by her shocked and disillusioned reaction afterward, were clear as day. Netizens had screenshot the contrasting expressions and were circulating them nonstop.
“Oh my god, I’m dying laughing. When Bianca saw four or five men in that room, one of them being Elaine’s fance, her face was priceless!”
“Bianca’s dumbfounded face after the failed cheating attempt–I could laugh at this forever. Pure embarrassment!”

Janel who hadn’t expected Blanca’s fall from grace to be so dramatic, was starting to panic. In the past, Rianca had the support of Finley and the
heirs of the Yeats family, which made her career a smooth ride. Now, her reputation was in ruins.
Janet who had high hopes for her daughter to take over the Yeats family legacy, was afraid Bianca’s dream of living the high life would crumble if the family gave up on her.

Though Bianca had always felt Janet, her godmother, was somewhat kind, she couldn’t stand being lectured by a woman who was nothing more than her father’s mistress.
Janet, I don’t think you have the right to judge me.”
Bianca’s laughter was tinged with anger Janet was nothing more than the mistress her father kept, a lowly position.
Even though Blanca wasn’t a biological daughter, she was still the acknowledged heir of the Yeats family. Who was Janet to lecture her?
But what Bianca didn’t know was that the very woman she looked down on was actually her real mother.
With those words, Bianca ended the call abruptly.
