She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 251

Finally, the host announced loudly from the stage.

“And now, let’s give a round of applause for the one-in-a-million brand ambassador for Project NovaGate—”

Evelyn Hale was ecstatic and quickly helped Lila straighten her dress.

“Go on, hurry. Remember to pose…”

“Elina Ward!”

When the host called out that name, Evelyn and Lila froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

Lila was dumbfounded.

Evelyn was just as stunned.

For a moment, neither of them could process what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Elina, who had been ready backstage, was led onto the stage by a staff member.

Elina was wearing a Sunnybrook Kindergarten uniform today.

It wasn't the one Lila had scribbled on.

It was a brand-new, clean uniform, and she looked absolutely radiant.

She had memorized her speech and delivered it with confidence and emotion, earning a wave of applause.

Even after Elina had finished her speech as the new brand ambassador, Evelyn and Lila were still completely bewildered.

Especially Evelyn.

What was going on?

Weren't they told that her Lila was going to be the brand ambassador?

How did it suddenly change?

Evelyn couldn't understand it.

She felt like she was trapped in a bad dream.

“Mommy, what’s happening? Didn’t you say I was going to be the brand ambassador? Didn’t you say I was going to be a star?”

The more Lila spoke, the more aggrieved she became, her lip quivering.

Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into loud sobs.

“Shut your mouth!” Evelyn glared and roared.

But she could only take her frustration out on Lila.

She frantically pulled out her phone and called Bryant Lennox.

“Is there anything else?”

“Uh… no…”

“Then I’m hanging up.”

“Bry—”

Before Evelyn could finish, the line went dead.

Beside her, Lila was crying so hard she could barely breathe.

Evelyn, however, didn't even have the energy to scold Lila anymore. She couldn't wait, so she contacted Bryant’s assistant directly and got the project lead’s phone number.

“Hello, am I speaking with the project lead for the Project NovaGate brand ambassador selection?”

Not knowing who was on the other end, Evelyn’s tone was humble and polite.

If this was all just a mistake, there might still be a chance to fix it.

“Evelyn? Why are you looking for me?”

The familiar voice coming through the receiver made Evelyn’s blood run cold.

“Melanie Royce?! Why is it you?!”
