Chapter 88
Diana had no idea that the woman in front of her was Elaine’s mother, just as Tracy didn’t know that the Elaine from Radiant Media was her very own daughter.
75
Seeing that Elaine had already arrived, Diana didn’t bother with any pleasantries with her secretary, hastily excusing herself
to leave.
Tracy walked into Shawn’s office, expecting to find the head of Radiant Media, but instead, she was met by none other than Elaine.
Her brow furrowed in confusion. “Elaine, what are you doing here?”
At this moment, Tracy certainly didn’t suspect that Elaine was the president of Radiant Media.
Elaine, a playful smirk tugging at her lips, teased, “Why can’t it be me? Mrs. Yeats, did you buy the whole world or something? Have you started deciding who gets to come and go?
Tracy locked eyes with Elaine, unable to say a word. The bitter truth hit her–her daughter truly seemed unwilling to recognize her anymore, and her tone was sharp with hidden barbs.
“You know that’s not what I meant, Tracy said softly, trying to maintain some composure.
Elaine let out a cold laugh, her voice dripping with mockery, “Oh Well, I was under the impression that mouths were for talking. If you don’t clarify, how am I supposed to know what you mean?”
Tracy was rendered speechless
She couldn’t strike out, and she certainly couldn’t win in an argument, so she chose silence instead.
As a woman with seven sons, Tracy had always been at the top of the household hierarchy, pampered by her sons and husband. But now, for the first time in front of her children, she was humiliated. She couldn’t help but glance at Shawn. silently pleading for help.
Shawn, however, ignored his mother completely. He placed the termination letter on the desk and addressed Elaine, his voice firm. “Elaine, if you don’t terminate your contract, I promise you the next six months will be very generous. Variety shows, movies, TV dramas–you’ll have access to all the company’s resources.
Tracy’s eyes widened in surprise.
If this had been before, there was no way Shawn would have ever supported Elaine. Galaxy Entertainment had always been all about Bianca. And if Bianca found out about this? She would be devastated
Besides, giving resources to Elaine? That would be a waste, wouldn’t it?
After a moment of hesitation, Tracy opened her mouth, attempting to interrupt Shawn’s words. “Shawn, I think what you’re doing might not be the wisest. You should at least consult Bianca-
Before she could finish, Shawn cut her off sharply. He knew exactly what Tracy was thinking.
He looked at his mother, fighting to keep his temper in check. “Mom, can you please stop interfering with the company? Don’t forget. Im the president of Galaxy Entertainment. Every decision I make has a purpose.
“I hope you won’t stand in the way of my If Grandpa Grandma, and Dad want to replace me, then fine. But until

then, please stay out of it
The tension in the air was palpable as Shawn’s words hit hard 1 brow twitched with anger, a vein pulsing in his forehead.
Now, it all made sense. Why had he once been so swayed by Tracy, believing all her negative talk about Elaine?
It was Tracy’s relentless voice in his ear, day after day, year after year, constantly belittling Elaine’s abilities and qualifications.
Elaine had never been the incapable person Tracy painted her tabe
He had seen her talent firsthand at a charity event. Elaine was anything but the hopeless case his mother described. In fact, she was possibly much more capable than anyone realized.
And Tracy? She had completely misunderstood her.
Shawn paused, his expression growing somber. He had to admit maybe if their brothers had cared more about Elaine, shown her a little more love and attention, their relationship wouldn’t have deteriorated like this.
Tracy, caught off guard by Shawn’s harsh words, froze. Her face crumpled with hurt as she voiced her grievance. “Shawn. what are you saying? I was just making a suggestion. Why are you yelling at me? You never used to do this, and I wasn’t wrong either!”
Shawn remained unmoved. “Mom, this is business. Please, take this seriously. Don’t bring personal emotions can convince Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad to remove me from this position, I won’t say another word”
into it. If you
The weight of “business as usual‘ hung heavily in Shawn’s voice. Tracy could only stand there, speechless. Elaine raised an eyebrow, looking mildly surprised. Her voice was lazy and dripping with sarcasm. “What? Have I been hexed or something? How else could I suddenly be the lucky recipient of such good fortune?”
She glanced at Tracy’s face, clearly soaked in frustration Elaine couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Tracy and Bianca were so alike in their personalities, both spoiled, pampered, and doted on by everyone around them. This dynamic made their mother–daughter relationship appear unbreakable, far more intimate than the bond Elaine shared with her own mother.
The Yeats family boys were truly something else–they’d managed to make Bianca cry. Now, they were reducing their own mother to tears. It was almost too funny.
But Elaine wasn’t interested in getting involved in their family drama. She was content to just sit back and watch.
Shawn, with a tight jaw, nodded. “Yes.“”
He truly did want to make it up to Elaine, but he still didn’t understand how deep the wounds ran. His past actions had left scars too deep to erase.
Elaine’s expression hardened in an instant as she stood up, her eyes cold. “Shawn, whether you and your mother are putting on some kind of act or scheming behind my back doesn’t matter. None of it affects me. Whatever you offer me, I can’t accept. So, it would be best if you stop wasting my time and just sign the termination letter.
Although Elaine knew from Book Elf that Shawn regretted his past treatment of her, she still deliberately chose to provoke him with these words.
Hearing Elaine speak like this, Shawn’s emotions finally spilled over, his voice dropping to a quiet, resigned tone. “Elaine, I’m not scheming. Just consider this my way of making it up to you?
