Eliana was speechless. Stella really had a sharp tongue.

“And for the record,” Serena continued, her voice cold, “my being here has nothing to do with either of you. I’m not trying to get anyone’s attention. Dylan loves you, so there’s no need to tear me down the second you

see me.

“You should have a little more confidence in yourself, Eliana.”

‘Confidence?‘ Eliana thought, panicking. How could she be confident? She had stolen Stella’s life. She knew Stella wasn’t after Dylan anymore, but she wanted to use him to eliminate Stella for good.

Her father, Jasper, hadn’t made a move yet, and she was terrified Stella would uncover the truth. If Dylan found out, it would all be over.

Even Dylan felt Eliana was going too far. “Eliana,” he said, his expression serious, “I’ll take you to another waiting room.”

Eliana bit her lip. Her goal was to stop Stella from competing. The only way to do that was to stay close and find an opportunity to frame her.

She forced a gentle smile. “Dylan, let’s just–stay here. I don’t want people to think we’re getting special treatment. Besides, it’s not like there’s anything really between me and Stella. It’s just… the way she schemed against you behind your back really upset me.”

Serena was speechless. The incident at the bar had been her own doing, a deliberate jab at Dylan.

The man was a blind fool, unable to even recognize the person who had saved him. More importantly, she needed to find out if Liam was her son.

Dylan led Eliana to a bench on the side.

Serena stood up and moved away, putting as much distance between them as possible.

Dylan watched her, his brow furrowing. ‘She really despises me now,‘ he thought, a dark look clouding his handsome features.

To Eliana, Serena’s action was a deliberate humiliation.

‘She knows about my past illness,‘ Eliana fumed internally. “That’s why she’s making such a disgusting show of avoiding me!

How could she get rid of Stella for good?

Stella had no family or friends, which meant she had no obvious weaknesses.

‘How do I make Dylan completely despise her?‘

Eliana already had a plan in mind; she just needed the right opportunity to set it in motion.

“Serena, I’m here!” Vivian Quinn burst into the room, beaming at her stunningly beautiful friend.

Dylan recognized her as the friend he’d seen with Stella outside the lounge.

A faint smile touched Serena’s lips. “Vivian, what are you doing here?”

Vivian was dressed to the nines. Today’s event was a who’s who of the fashion world, and she was eager to see and be seen.

“You didn’t even tell me you were competing! My grandpa did. He sent me over to keep you company and make sure no one gives you a hard time,” Vivian said with a charming, playful smile.

Serena felt her own smile relax, warmed by her friend’s presence.

“It’s fine. No one would dare bully me.”

“Hmph! You say that, but you only ever tell me the good news. I ran into my grandpa the other day, and he said things haven’t been as easy for you as you let on. After this competition, you’re telling me everything that’s happened these past few years. Everything.”

Serena gave a resigned sigh. Vivian was her only true confidante.

And it was true; she always kept her struggles to herself.

She nodded with a smile. “Okay.”

Dylan frowned as he watched them. Stella had been in a contract marriage with him for years, and she’d been so secretive that even her closest friend didn’t know about their relationship.

‘But I thought she was an orphan,‘ he wondered. ‘How does she have a grandpa? Or is it her friend’s grandpa?‘

More competitors began to arrive.
