Chapter 254

After this brutal one–two strike, Margaret stood seething, her chest heaving with rage.

“You told me you had this under control!” Margaret snarled, spraying spittle as she leaned over the kneeling woman. “Well?! Explain this ‘celebration banquet‘ Elara is having tonight!”

Stinging from the humiliation and the physical blows, and nearly gagging from the old woman’s breath, Amelia fought the urge to immediately wipe her face. She took a deep, steadying breath, forcing an aura of complete control.

“Dowager,” she said, her voice dripping with feigned confidence. “Let her have her party. In fact, the bigger the spectacle, the more they boast about the drug’s efficacy… the harder the fall will be when reality hits.”

Margaret’s eyes narrowed. She slowly settled back into her chair. “What game are you playing?”

“Our drug has also reached the stage of applying for clinical trials,” Amelia revealed, rising to her feet. “We are also holding a celebration banquet tonight. At the Blue Agate Hotel, as well.”

Margaret’s gaze was piercing. “I don’t care if you can develop a drug. What I want is for Elara to fail!” If that girl truly succeeded, how could she ever hope to control her again? The thought made her blood boil. And she couldn’t believe that wretched girl had it in her to develop something so significant. Had she underestimated her again, just as she had with Gavin, allowing him to grow into the untouchable power he was today? Was she making the same mistake with Elara?

Wincing slightly from the pain in her knees, Amelia stood and walked over to Margaret. She poured the older woman a fresh cup of tea, a cold, calculated smile playing on her lips. “You have my word. I’ve never forgotten what you truly want.

“Elara will not succeed. She will never, ever slip through your fingers.” Her tone was so absolute, so sure, it sounded like the matter was already settled.

Elara’s POV

In the evening, I walked into the Blue Agate Hotel with Colton.

Sylvia has never liked crowded events, and no matter how much I tried to coax her, she refused to come. She did say, though, that when the drug launches and there’s a press conference, she’ll definitely be there to support me.

Elias and Chloe were already waiting in the hotel lobby. Seeing us arrive, they immediately walked over.

Right before we left, Sylvia thought my dress was too plain. She dragged me upstairs and changed me into a custom made, embroidered black evening gown.

It was perfect for the occasion.

Elegant and tasteful, yet intricately beautiful.

The off the shoulder design showed off my collarbones, and the perfectly tailored waistline accentuated my slender figure. It added a touch of maturity I don’t always have, softening some of my usual girl next door vibe.

Elias seemed momentarily stunned, but he kept his composure. “Teacher, Song/song, you’re here,” he said with a smile.

“Elias.” I returned his smile, linked my arm with Chloe’s, and we all headed towards the elevators.

We’d just stopped in front of them when I heard a scornful, cold laugh behind me. I turned and saw Amelia, her makeup flawless, wearing a lavish light purple sequined strapless gown, dressed to the nines.

“Elara, long time no see,” she said, a meaningful smirk twisting her lips. “I heard you’ve also developed a breakthrough cancer drug?”

– Also.

Not a single one of us gave Amelia a second thought.

Watching my utterly ruffled demeanor. Amelia looked like she was grinding her teeth to dist. Raw hatred surged in her eyes.

That bitch.

Just wait, she thought. Wait until this bitch’s clinical trials fall spectacularly. Let’s see what she has to be so sing about then.

The thought made a slow, cold smile spread across her face again.
