How was she supposed to know that?

“Dylan, why didn’t you tell me you had stomach issues?” Eliana said, her tone reproachful. “You shouldn’t eat this. I’ll have the staff make you something else.”

Dylan’s brow furrowed, his gaze turning even colder.

“It’s fine. Just watch the child. I have company business to handle.”

But Miles chimed in, “Back when Stella was here, she cooked every single one of Mr. Ashford’s meals herself.”

Eliana stiffened. She knew Stella had waited on Dylan hand and foot like a housekeeper, but playing chef would be beneath the future Mrs. Ashford.

“Stella was just a maid,” she said coldly. “How can you call a woman Dylan never even properly acknowledged his wife? Don’t give her so much credit, Miles. Besides, she’s the one who destroyed Dylan’s bar out of revenge.”

‘That bastard Miles,‘ she fumed. ‘Does he still not get who the real lady of the house is?‘

Once she married Dylan, she’d find a way to get rid of him.

“That’s enough.” Dylan stood up abruptly, stumbling for a moment.

He fixed Eliana with an icy stare. “Eliana, Stella was not a maid. She took very good care of me.”

Eliana bit her lip, looking wronged, but said nothing.

Dylan didn’t notice her theatrics.

‘Was the Ashford family doomed to repeat the same disaster from three years ago?‘

The thought was terrifying. Right now, he had to stabilize the company.

Miles looked deeply concerned. “Mr. Ashford, we have to secure an investor, or the company won’t last another month.”

As their voices faded down the hall, Eliana sank into her chair, devastated.

What was she going to do?

Her good life was just starting over, and now the Ashfords were going bankrupt again?

It was like the family was cursed.

No, the Lamberts were the ones who had it out for her. If it wasn’t for her father, Jasper, none of this would be

Beatrice had just returned and overheard the conversation. Seeing the pale look on her son’s face, her heart sank.

She walked over to him. “Dylan, you have to pull yourself together. This time, you have to save the family on your own.”

She couldn’t believe it. If they couldn’t find an investor, the Ashfords would be bankrupt in a month.

‘No, this can’t be happening!’

She hadn’t had nearly enough of the good life, and at her age, she’d never find another man as successful as Dylan’s father–the man who didn’t love her and rarely came home.

The pain in Dylan’s stomach was intense. Without another word, he left with Miles.

Hearing Beatrice’s voice only made Eliana more anxious.

What now?

With her family having caused this mess, would Beatrice still favor her?

Eliana watched nervously as the Beatrice walked back into the room.

“Mrs. Ashford…” she began, her voice tight with tension.

“Don’t say another word,” Beatrice snapped, her face grim. “This is all your father’s fault, that old bastard. We had just gotten back on our feet, and now we’re facing bankruptcy again because of that property.”

The scandal with the bar had blown up. If the bar were still open, the property wouldn’t be an issue, but now all of their locations had been shut down for inspection.

It was infuriating.
