Chapter 66
After saying this, Carson tugged at his daughter’s sleeve. “Kayla, why don’t you apologize to Elaine right now?”
This reversal of events left Tracy stunned.
Kayla felt utterly frustrated. It was Elaine who poured wine all over her, yet now Elaine was cleverly twisting the truth in front of Tracy, and in the end, she was being forced to apologize to Elaine. It made her sectie with anger.
Seeing Elaine standing calmly next to Ingram, having caused the scene yet suffering no consequences, Kayla’s eyes welled up with resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, “Why should I apologize? Dad, didn’t you ser her pour wine all over me? I won’t apologize–I want her to apologize to me instead.”
In front of so many prominent figures at the charity event, apologizing to Elaine would be an admission of guilt. It would ruin her reputation; she’d never be able to show her face again.
She then shouted, “Bianca, don’t worry. I won’t let this nasty woman bully you.

Bianca continued to patiently try to calm Kayla down, saying helplessly, “Kayla, Elaine hasn’t bullied me. Do you think there’s some misunderstanding between you two?”
Kayla remained furious, “How can you say she hasn’t bullied you? She was kicked out of Finley’s house by Shawn, and now she shows up at the charity event looking like this. She’s trying to steal the spotlight, acting like Zora on the runway. Doesn’t she know Finley and the Scott family are here too? What’s her real motive! Finley never cared about her, no matter how much she flaunts herself–it doesn’t change the fact that he doesn’t
even notice her
Kayla’s words were spat out through clenched teeth.
Kayla was seething because Elaine had stolen the limelight at the charity event. Not only did Finley treat her differently, but even other men’s attention was now focused on Elaine.
At a big event like tonight’s charity gala, there were supposed to be many excellent men, and Bianca’s reputation would naturally attract them. But, of course, Bianca only had one wach man, and he belonged to Finley. Tonight, all the outstanding men at the event were fair game for her.
Kayla had her eyes set on Kingsley
The first moment she saw him enter the banquet hall, it was as if the spotlight had shifted to him. He seemed to descend from the heavens, radiating an almost unearthly charm, making it impossible for anyone to look away.
But who could have expected that Elaine would dress like this tonight and steal the attention that was meant for Bianca!
Kingsley, with his perfect demeanor and looks, was a rare sight in Boynton Unfortunately, this perfect man chose to hold Elaine’s hand on the runway, instantly drawing a closer connection between them.
If Elaine hadn’t schemed at the charity event, how could she have gotten close to someone as noble as Kingsley?
In Kayla’s mind. Elaine’s presence at the charity event was part of a plot, not to mention the underhanded tactics she had used to steal the spotlight.
The man she had her eyes on was now snatched away by Elaine. How could she not hate her?
Bianca, hearing Kayla’s words, simply smiled and said. “Elaine did stand out today. She surprised everyone”
Indeed, Elaine had stolen the show tonight.
This was
was the first time she had appeared so beautifully in the public eye, completely overturning the previous image people had of her.
I wonder, does Finley think the same!
As she thought of Finley, Bianca’s gaze grew dimmer.
Even Shawn and Trevon, who were always biased toward Bianca, seemed complicated when they saw Elaine’s transformation. This was an Elaine they had never seen before.
Elaine, hearing herself being called a “nasty woman, didn’t react much.
In her past and present lives, she had been burdened with too many false accusations.
She had long stopped caring about her reputation.

Chapter 60
Before she crossed into this life, the more she cared about what others thought, the more she was manipulated by them, dying in bitterness
As long as she had no morals, no one could control her. This life, she would live by her own rules.
Elaine met Kayla’s indignant gaze, smiling faintly, “Only you would treat Finley like a treasure. To me, he’s nothing.”
Kayla’s face flashed, wanting to argue back but was interrupted by her father.
You, child. Lonly asked you to apologize to Miss Years, why are you being so stubborn? It’s all my fault for spoiling you” Carson said, helplessly. humming to Elaine and Tracy with a fake smile. “Miss Yeats, for my sake, can we just let this go?”
Tracy snapped out of her daze and said to Elaine, “Elaine, this isn’t a big deal. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, it’s over”
The Shepard Group’s real estate business was not something they could afford to offend
For a businessman, having more friends meant more opportunities,
But clearly, it was going to be at Elaine’s expense.
For Tracy, though, making Elaine swallow h
her pride had become second nature.
But Elaine wouldn’t let herself be humiliated like this
Elaine looked at the father and daughter, playing their parts so well. If Ingram hadn’t been there, Carson would have surely forced her to apologize to Kayla, instead of letting the issue blow over as it was now
So, she wouldn’t let them off so easily. She would make sure they didn’t get their w
way.
With a cold laugh, she scanned everyone and said, “Tracy, it’s not a big deal to you, but it is to me. Yes, I grew up picking trash with my mother. We didn’t seal or cheat, we just worked hard and lived honorably Compared to you privileged daughters, who don’t even know the value of basic life struggles, Em far better off!’
“So, what makes you think you have the right to point fingers at my mother and me?”
“What gives you the right to look down on this and that?”
She would defend her dignity.
As she spoke, Elaine’s eyes were sharp, ber voice clear and firm. Tracy felt a jolt in her chest, a flicker of hurt in her eyes that quickly disappeared.
You…”
Elaine had the audacity to call that scavenger her mother, when her real mother was right there–herself. Didn’t Elaine value her as a mother?
But that scavenger wasn’t even her real mother
Tracy was conflicted, feeling both hurt and resentful. She wanted to confront Elaine, but in the end, she swallowed her words. She felt that Elaine had completely dismissed her as her mother.
What Tracy never realized was that, all along, she had been biased toward Bianca and had neglected her own daughter.
