Beatrice frowned, thinking it over. “It’s not impossible to ruin her, but you can’t let her trace it back to you. If she does, she come after you with everything she’s got. She’s totally done with Dylan now.
“She coldly cut off all those deals, pushing the Ashford family straight to the edge of bankruptcy. If Dylan wasn’t so sharp. we’d be finished by now.”
‘Stella really is ruthless, Yvonne thought.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t let her trace it back to me, Yvonne smirked darkly. She had more than enough ways to handle this.
At the entrance, Yvonne handed over her invitation.
Seeing that Serena had already gone inside, she was surprised. “Mom, how did she get an invitation? Does she know the Quinn family, too?”
Yvonne was burning with jealousy.
The Quinn family’s heir was just as handsome and successful as Spencer. No matter which one she married, it would mean life of luxury and privilege.
A flash of jealousy flickered in Beatrice’s eyes. Stella could pull off things that were totally out of her league.
Her dreams were way bigger than her actual skills.
If she had the chops, she’d want to be just like Stella, handling everything in the business world with total ease.
Beatrice spoke with envy, “Back then, Stella didn’t even bother with any networking events. She just made a few calls and pulled the Ashford family back from the dead.”
Yvonne bit her lip, unwilling to accept it. “Mom, does she really have some secret identity? Honestly, she’s just pathetic.”
‘No way I’m letting that happen,‘ Yvonne thought.
Stella was only fit to be the Ashford family’s bootlicker.
She’d already forgotten she wasn’t the Ashford heiress anymore.
‘So, now that you know she’s got some secret identity, you just want to use her for everything she’s got, and when you’re done, treat her like a stray dog and stomp her into the ground?” An icy, mocking voice suddenly sounded right beside them.
Beatrice jumped, but when she saw it was Dylan, she quickly pulled herself together.
She frowned, her tone sharp. “Dylan, are you really going to make things difficult for me over an outsider?
“Stella is an outsider? Mom, someone as ungrateful as you is bound to end up alone, Dylan said coldly.
He added, “You went out of your way to cover up Eliana’s past and even forced her into marrying me. What was going through your head? You’ve always cared about reputation, but Stella isn’t even good enough to get an invite
How could someone as nasty and full of lies as Eliana ever be good enough to be my wife?
Beatrice was scared out of her wits, she knew she had to keep this from Dylan at all costs.

“D–Dylan, I swear, I only learned about this afterwards,” Beatrice stammered.
Dylan didn’t even bother listening. He strode inside with Miles.
Beatrice watched Dylan’s retreating figure, her brows furrowed.
Yvonne stomped her foot in frustration. ‘How could Dylan act like that?‘ she fumed.
Just wait, Yvonne thought, her eyes flashing with malice. ‘Once I finally meet my real dad, we’ll team up and take everything Dylan has for ourselves.
As the mother and daughter stepped inside, Beatrice felt painfully self–conscious seeing all those ladies dripping in luxury.
After the Ashford family’s downfall, custom couture was a thing of the past for her.
Yvonne, meanwhile, was already blowing up her group chat.
[Stella’s here too, Rosalia. Let’s take her down tonight. Don’t forget. She totally screwed you over last time.]
[Yvonne, are you nuts? This is the Quinn family’s party. If we cause any drama, my family could lose everything. Seriously, you won’t believe what I just saw tonight. We’d better keep our heads down.]
Yvonne read the message, her jaw clenched in frustration.
“Tonight’s the perfect chance,’ she thought.
She’d finally scored an invitation, and with Stella here, too, there was no way she was going to let this chance slip by. ‘Who did she bump into?‘ Yvonne wondered, suspicion flashing in her eyes. ‘What could’ve scared her this much?”
Yvonne: [Rosalia, who scared you like this?]
