isma offered a faint smile but didn’t respond. Her aloof demeanor made it clear that she considered herself too above it all to engage with Elaine.
Shawn’s face darkened, his expression a mask of restrained fury as he processed Elaine’s words.
How dare she say Bianca’s designs are subpar? She even doesn’t understand what “Ada” means in the industry and the success of Celestial Angel he thought.
The board members around the table exchanged uneasy glances, visibly uncomfortable with Elaine’s audacity. They were all too aware of Ada’s international success, something far beyond Elaine’s reach
Hut the mention of Sally’s involvement had them hanging on, waiting to see if Elaine could actually deliver on her promise.

Shawn, sensing the shift in the room, sneered. He leaned forward, his voice dripping with disdain. “Elaine, you’ve gone too far. Bianca’s design skills are beyond anything you could ever understand”
Elaine undled her tone lazy but sharp. “Oh! Is that so?”
“Of course,” Shawn scoffed, his gaze cutting. “You’re just a figurehead in the design department. You have no real skills. Don’t tell me you actually understand fashion design. You’re in no position to critique Ada.
The final w words were even tinged with disdain as if he thought Elaine was overestimating herself.
Flame raised an eyebrow, saying casually, “Yeah, I don’t know anything about fashion
Shawn opened his mouth, ready to argue, but Elaine’s calm interruption shut him down. “But I could get Sally on board.”
She leaned forward, her fingers lightly tapping on the table, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “That’s right–Sally Belvoir. She’s leagues ahead of your Ada. Tlur’s my qualification”
Shawn blinked, has disbelief obvious. He stared at Elaine, wondering if she was serious
Just then, the door to the conference room swung open,

The room fell into stunned silence.
The shareholders, who had been skeptical moments before, were now buzzing with excitement.
Sally’s appearance had completely shifted the mood.
“It’s really hert Sally! they thought, eyes wide in awe.
One of the shareholders who had questioned Elaine earlier stood up first, greeting Sally with an excited grin. “Ms. Belvoir, we’re thrilled to have you here. On behalf of the entire board, welcome!”
The atmosphere in the room had completely changed, as if everyone had just woken from a dream. Their attitudes and expressions shifted in an
They certainly hadn’t expected that Elaine could know someone like Sally, a legend in the fashion world and a student of its most revered names.
For her to step into Starlight Fashion was nothing short of monumental,
No other design company in Boynton could boast such a connection.

Flause chuckled softly, recognizing the playful tone. “Of course. I have my secretary show you the way!
Sally flashed a bright smile, completely ignoring Bianca, as she followed the secretary out of the room.
Sally’s deliberate cold shoulder left hanca stiff for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

Shawn, distracted, didn’t notice the subtle tension in the air. His mind was still grappling with the fact that Elaine knew someone as influential as Sally
“Maybe it’s a coincidence, Shawn thought, disbelief growing. Flanet A street brawler with no real ties to the fashion world! She couldn’t possibly know someone like Sally. She’s not Bianca, after all‘
When Sally finally arrived, the meeting came to an end

Lone said with a polite nod.
“Miss Yeats, let’s have dinner sometime, another added.
“Yes, my wife would love to meet you,” a third chimed in
Elaine gave a calm nod, her smile unwavering. She handled the social mieraction with ease, a stark contrast to the image many had of her as a “reet girl” she exuded confidence–far from the rough image prople had of her past
In her previous life, Elain
Elaine had been the laughingstock of Starlight Fashion. Her crude behavior had given Bianca the perfect opening.
“Not this time, she vowed, eyes narrowing. This time, I’ll turn the tables”
cally thinking.
Elaine’s lips curled into a sly, unreadable smile as she watched the shareholders leave. None of them could fathom what she was really
Bianca, observing from the side, noticed the shift in the shareholders‘ demeanor and felt a pang of unease.
As Elaine’s figure disappeared from view, Tucker, quickly followed her out.
The room was left with just Shawn and Bianca.
Bianca’s voice was soft, tinged with regret. “Shawn, I’m sorry. I know today didn’t go as we expected.”
Shawn snapped out of his thoughts, his gaze softening as it landed on Blanca. “Don’t say that, Bianca. This wasn’t your fault. I thought everything would go smonthly, but Elaine is just too stubborn“
His voice filled with quiet reassurance. “You’ll always be the best. Sally might have a reputation, but I believe she’ll regret crossing you. Just wait and

Shawn’s thoughts lingered on the words his parents had once told him–Bianca was destined for greatness.
He clenched his jaw Bianca will win. Elaine will regret this. I know she will, he thought.
Buanca continued her tone gentle. “Elaine must still be upset about Finley. She’ll never forgive me for that. But the truth is, after I went abroad, I had no contact with him. But she never believed that.
Until now, Bianca still thought Elaine had feelings for Finley, that she was still hung up on him.
But the truth was, Elaine had already decided to cut ties with everyone–including Finley.
Sadly, those around her were still trapped in the past, unwilling to wake up
Shawn’s expression softened further while he gently parted her shoulder. “You don’t need to feel guilty. I believe in you. As for Elaine, no matter how heartbroken she is, she can’t take it out on you,”
Blanca shook her head, her eyes downcast. “I just hope she can forgive me one day”
