Chapter 234
Karl felt a swell of pride when he learned how highly Elaine thought of him. He even shot his brothers a look as if to say, “See? Look how great her impression of me is!”
Henry and Glenn were annoyed by Karl’s mug expression and had the urge to beat him up on the spol
But with Elaine p
present, they managed to restrain themselves.
The three of them had been fighting since childhood. It was practically a daily routine.
Glenn chimed in. “Elaine, weren’t you in that popular variety show? Karl actually wanted to join you”
Karl would do anything to get close to his cousin
He stated. “I just couldn’t stand that shameless Trevon constantly bothering you on the show. He’s definitely Aunt’s son, blatantly bullying you while siding with that adopted girl like her mother. If I were on that show, I’d definitely make it clear that you’re under my protection”
Henry scoffed, “With Trevan behaving like this, I bet his other brothers are no better. Elaine, if they dare bully you again, I beat the living daylights out of them!”
Just talking about it made him itch to teach them a lesson.
Glenn smirked and said, “Well. Trevon is finally getting what he deserves. He has always been supporting Bianca, only for her to cause the Years family to be in financial trouble.
“They can barely cover the basic expenses of their household now I even heard he had a huge fight with her over it. In his social circle, he’s basically fallen from grace. Nobody takes him seriously anymore!
“Serves him right!” George c
to be such a disgrace.”
“Exactly!” Sandra agreed..
chimed in. “Who asked him to bully Elaine! I remember that brat when he was still a kid. I never thought he’d grow up
Elaine hadn’t realized her cousins had been paying attention to her all along.
Seeing them stand up for her filled her heart with warmth. The comers of her lips curled

unconsciously.
The more Karl talked about the Yeats family, the angrier he got. In the end, he turned to Elaine and said, “Elaine, don’t worry. If you show again, bring me along. I don’t care how many of those Years brothers show up. I can take them all on, no problem.”
“Okay, Karl,’ aid Elaine.
For some reason, this whole situation felt oddly familiar to her.
She couldn’t help but wonder if the original novel had a similar plot
However, she didn’t dwell on it.
on it. Instead, she focused on enjoying the meal with them.
But after dinner, it finally hit her that Karl was one of Bianca’s most tragic admirers in the
The novel
ever go on that
Karl didn’t even like Bianca, but she set him up. First, she stole his music and gave it to Trevon, then pretended to be Mandala, the mysterious songwriter who had been secretly writing songs for him.
At Karl’s lowest point, Bianca manipulated him into thinking she had always supported him, and that was how Karl fell for her completely and utterly
Bianca was truly shameless. Not only did she pose as Mandala, but she also acherned against Karl, leading him to run.
Karl later discovered that he was just one of Bianca’s many admirers. Heartbroken and defeated, he lost his drive and ended up settling for being just another guy waiting for Hianca’s attention
Who wouldn’t had that frustrating!
Therefore, Elaine was determined that she would not let Karl become Bianca’s foolish simp.
Calvin and Maggie had originally planned to had Elaine, hoping she would step in to mitigate the negative impact of the dragging incident
However, thury suddenly realized thui Elaine was nowhere to be found.

After extensiv

was no longer
What she didn’t realize was that the Elaine of today was almost unrecognizable compared to what she used to be in Boynton. She wa that neglected and pitiful daughter of the Yeats family
Instead, Elaine had transformed into an esteemed socialite in Lento City. Her status had risen dramatically from a worthless foster daughter to the most distinguished upper–class lady.
Her husband’s family was extremely powerful, while her maternal family was immensely wealthy. Both sides doted on her very much
At this point, Elaine basically could do whatever she wanted in Lento City:
Ever since reuniting with George, she had grown close to them, fining seamlessly into his family.
Sandra, in particular, had taken on a motherly role in Elaine’s life. After finding Elaine, she made time to take her shopping, introduce her to the social circles of wealthy ladies, and ensure she was well taken care of
Having no daughter of her own, Sandra treated Elaine as her own child, always bearning with pride whenever she introduced her to other socialites.
“You’re about to get married soon. This is one of the most important moments of your life. We need to ensure nothing goes wrong. Sandra said with a smile. “Though I can see that Kingsley treats you very well and adores you, having your own family’s support will always give you more confidence.
“Tve already discussed it with your uncle and grandfather. We’ll prepare the best for you, making sure you have a grand and glorious wedding. And when you have children, I’ll be there to take care of you.”
Sandra had lived long enough to understand many things, and there was some wisdom she wanted to pass on to Elaine.
“Auni Sandra, you’re the best. Elaine leaned into her aunt’s embrace, acting coy like any ordinary young woman would,
Sandra chuckled as she stroked Elaine’s hair, saying, “Silly girl”
Elaine walked into a restaurant hand in hand with her aunt, who swiftly ordered Elaine’s favorite dishes.
Just as they were settling in, Maggie stormed in furiously. “Elaine“”
The moment Elaine heard that voice, she felt an instinctive sense of irritation.
Sure enough, it was Maggie, her ex–brother’s admirer.
Maggie still thought Elaine had no one to pr
no one to protect her like before, so she had come here thinking she could teach her a lesson, just like in the past,
She had completely forgotten that her initial goal was to smooth things over regarding the drugging incident.
What she failed to realize was that Elaine was no longer someone she could simply bully.
Sandra immediately sensed the hostility from the unexpected visitor, and her expression darkened.
Without hesitation, she slammed the menu onto the table with a heavy thud.
