At Starlight Fashion, whispers about the tense relationship between Elvine and Bianca were no secret
By announcing Bunca’s promotion and her takeover of the design department, Shawn had made his intentions clear he was making a power move to humiliate Elaine
He had been nathless with her, as always.
Elaine sat quietly in the boardroom, an ironic smile creeping onto her face.
So, this is your idea of punishment, Shawn! Elaine thought feeling the cold wright of his words press down on her
She had expected this

for Bianca, Shawn would do anything
The look in Elaine’s expression g grew colder. This is the
he moment when I stop pretending to be the quiet, obedient sister!
Shawn finished his announcement and glanced toward Elaine, waiting for a reaction
Originally, he hadn’t planned to announce it so quickly, but with Elaine’s behavior lately, he felt there was no other choice.
He wasn’t about to let her think she could sit back and ignore this. He wanted to see her squirm, to make her understand who was in control now, completely disregarding the embarrassment it would cause Elaine.
Elaine remained unmoved, her expression a carefully constructed mask
The room fell silent. Most of the executives and shareholders exchanged uncertain glances. “Well? Shawn pressed, the tension in the room thickening Does anyone have any objections?“.
When Elaine didn’t speak, many assumed she had given in
They knew how capable Bianca was, and compared to her. Elaine’s talents seemed lacking
Bianca’s public persona as a famous actress and influencer was enough to push Starlight Fashion into the spotlight
The company had thrived these past years, largely thanks to Shawn’s leadership.
If Elaine had continued to run things, the company would probably have collapsed by now
Exchanging knowing glances, the shareholders began to sing Bianca’s praises.
One shareholder began, his voice dripping with praise. “With Bianca leading the design deparunent, we will undoubtedly see great success.
“She brings an undeniable charm and appeal”
“Yes,” another added. “Her beauty alone will bring attention to the brand. The products will fly off the shelves”
to its reputation,” the third one added.
“Miss Bianca’s beauty truly lives up to its m
They all nodded in agreement. Elaine was not surprised. Bianca’s beauty had always been her weapon, and her popularity only made it easier for her to win over the crowd.
Banca sat gracefully in her chair, responding to the shareholders with gentle poise
The entire scene appeared harmonious and pleasant.
Blaine’s voice cut through the chatter, cool and sharp. I disagree”
The neni froze. All eyes turned to Flaine, stunted by her sudden defiance.
Elaine leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on Shawn with a mocking smile playing on her lips as though she had just heard a joke:
With her striking beauty, Elaine’s cold demeanor caught everyone’s attention

Chapter 31
She was nothing like the woman they had once ignored.
The shareholders were stunned at her beauty
In the past, Elaine had been a Innoding, indifferent person, never paying much attention to her appearance or clothes.
She always kept things simple, which led people to underestimate her looks.
By contrast, Bianca was lively, her personality upbeat, and her public appearances meticulously polished, making her beauty appear almost
To the outsider, Bianca was the clear winner in both personality and appearance.
But w, Elaine seemed to have completely transformed.
She wore a dress chosen by Grace, and with her already impressive presence, the addition of Grace’s style made her seem radiant, almost like a clamorous movie star.
“Everyone here knows that the head of the design department becomes the true power behind Starlight Fashion,” Elaine continued, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “So, Mr. Years, what exactly do you intend to achieve by putting Blanca in my placer”
Elaine sat with a relaxed, almost playful air, her raised deyebrow exuding challenge. It was a clear provocation
Shawn pressed his lips together tightly, his anger simmering beneath the surface.
The shareholders, who had assumed Elune was silently agreeing with Shawn’s decision earlier, were now taken aback.
Shawn had always gone to great lengths to push Bianca forward, even going so far as to manipulate public opinion to undermine Elaine’s career
The Yeats family’s entertainment resources were funneled into cl
elevating Bianca, while Elaine had never resisted.
But now it was as though Elaine had completely transformed, no longer concerned with Shawn’s feelings or the company’s politics..
Shawn’s face darkened
Though he held a position as an executive director at Starlight Fashion, he was not the boss. There were decisions he couldn’t make on his own. If Flaine had stayed silent, he could have pushed the decision through without issue.
But now, in front of the shareholders, Elaine had made a public stand against him.
She had left no ro
no room for Shawn to explain himself, exposing his petty little schemes to the entire room.
Shawn was taken aback, struggling to believe that Elaine would go this far.
But he had forgotten that he had pushed her into a corner, leaving her with no choice but to stinke back.
Blaine wasn’t finished yet.
Elaine’s voice dropped to a low, venomous tone. “Shawn, don’t forget–Starlight Fashion was entrusted to me by Grandpa.
“I be damned if you think you can just waltz in here and take it from me. Are you really prepared to betray Crandpa just to make Bianca the next queen of this company?”
Elaine s umile was sharp, filled with burner
Elaine didnt give Shawn a chance to defend himself, immediately exposing his dirty little schemes to everyone,
Her final words were laced with such sharp sarcasm that they left Shawn feeling utterly humiliated
Shawn had long ceased to be the brother she cared about, and Elaine showed no hesitation in stripping away his false image for all to see.
“, you and I was just a figurehead in the design department Elaine smiled, the mockery clear in her voice.
She had never tralized just how little Shawn thought of her
Her eyes narrowed, and she confronted lam directly. “Shawn, how dare you?”
