None of her efforts had gone to waste.
In her world, among everyone she knew, someone of Julian’s standing was extremely rare.

For ordinary people, they might never cross paths with someone as influential as him their entire lives.
It was nearly impossible for a regular person to marry into wealth.
Even celebrities struggled to do it, let alone someone average.
Rosalie’s family wasn’t particularly wealthy among overseas students–at best, middle–class.
Social divisions were even more obvious abroad, with strict unspoken rules in each circle. Rosalie had worked incredibly hard just to fit in with the local elite crowd.
Even then, she could never reach those at the very top.
And Julian was far above all of them.
This trip home, she was determined to win him over–ideally all the way to marriage.
Rosalie was a realistic person. She didn’t believe in romantic love; she only cared about practical benefits.
She knew exactly what she wanted.
Over the years, she’d carefully maintained a certain image in front of Julian.
Once they met in person and spent time together, some things might slip.
She could pretend forever, but it would be exhausting.
The best plan was to marry him. Even if they divorced later, she’d walk away with a huge fortune.
And with Julian’s help, she would easily enter high society.
As for whether he would marry her, she was about eighty to ninety percent sure.
After all, during their conversations, Julian had shown immense interest in her.
She prided herself on knowing how to play into a man’s desires.
Once they met face–to–face, she would make him completely obsessed with her.
She’d turned down his offer to pick her up from the airport, wanting to keep him on edge a little longer.
Back then. Quinn was still married to Chase and utterly miserable.
She’d looked defeated, lifeless, with a dull, pale complexion.
But now…
Even with no makeup on, her skin was smooth and fair, glowing with youth. Her clothes were simple, yet she radiated an irresistible charm.
Rosalie had always considered herself superior and looked down on her so–called sister.
She’d always thought Quinn only had a prettier face, nothing else.
But seeing Quinn now, jealousy flared inside her like wild grass.
She wanted to see a worn–out, helpless, haggard Quinn.
The last thing she wanted was to see her still young, beautiful, vibrant, and utterly captivating.
Despite her inner turmoil, Rosalie had always been excellent at putting on a polite front in public.
