"I'm not going back until I find Elena!"
George sighed.
Just then, Dylan's phone rang.
"Hello, Dad." Dylan's expression turned serious.
"Haven't you played around enough? Are you not planning to come back?"
"I have something to take care of here..."
"What could be more important than the company? Do you still want the position of CEO? If I don't see you tomorrow, don't bother coming back at all!"
Xavier hung up.
"What did the Chairman say?" George asked.
"What do you think? Prepare to return. Leave more men here and search everywhere. You must find Elena!"
***
Elena arrived in Cresden City later that morning.
"This is where I live. If you don't like it, you can leave!" Bianca opened the door and spoke to Elena.
It was a small two-bedroom apartment in an older building in a less desirable part of Cresden City.
Wealthy people didn't live here; it was mostly renters.
The apartment was cramped, the walls were yellowing, and everything looked worn out.
Bianca paused. She could sense the heartache behind Elena's smile.
She had assumed Elena's life had been smooth sailing. She didn't know her childhood had been like that.
She couldn't help but say, "Then we're about the same. My father is the Chairman of the Fairchild Group. When my mom married him, he had nothing. She built his success with him, but then he kicked her out and married his secretary. That secretary tried to ruin us. My mom and I lived a nomadic life since I was little. She wouldn't be satisfied until we were ground into the dust."
"No one would believe he's my father if I told them! It's laughable! Look at this place I live in, and look at where they live. That's why I swore I would climb my way up. I don't want to live like this anymore."
Elena saw Bianca's eyes glistening with tears. She finally understood why Bianca had been so vain before.
"I believe in you. One day, you'll surpass your father! Actually, your design work is quite good. I've always admired it."
Bianca swallowed her tears. "What's the use of good designs if I'm always overshadowed by you? Honestly, I hated you. I was jealous of you!"
Elena shrugged. "Can't help that. There are plenty of people who are jealous of me. One more doesn't make a difference."
