The Rose He Showed Off Is Putting Down Roots in a Garden of Her Own novel Chapter 321

Elara was inherently brilliant. Her academic record had always been stellar, and though her marriage had temporarily stalled her career, true talent could not be hidden forever. Thanks to Zane's unreserved mentoring over the past few weeks, she effortlessly deciphered the hidden meanings behind the power players' words.

Actually, sometimes it wasn't that the elites refused to let you into their circles; it was simply that you couldn't speak their language. It was just like the old saying: the insiders saw the strategy, while the outsiders only saw the spectacle.

If your comprehension wasn't on their level, their casual guidance would fly right over your head. They couldn't converse with you, let alone bring you into the fold.

Because of this, Elara's growth over the past year had been exponential.

When a woman achieved such a profound transformation in a single year, it was impossible for any man not to take notice.

Julian arrived a bit later. He froze for a moment when he saw Elara in the living room before finally greeting the elders.

The Neville elders offered Julian a seat, and the staff promptly served him tea.

Julian kept his expression neutral, but he couldn't stop himself from stealing glances at Elara.

In the past, there had never been a place for her in this elite living room.

But today, she was here representing the Vance family.

Her previous style had always been gentle and unassuming, but today she dressed with sharp, intellectual elegance.

Everything was moving in a new direction. She hadn't fallen apart or wallowed in misery after the divorce. He had severely underestimated her.

A bitter knot tightened in Julian's chest. From now on, they would inevitably cross paths at government galas, industry summits, and high-society banquets. They might even find themselves seated at the same boardroom table.

The very thought of that future filled him with relentless agitation.

Then, his mind wandered to Zane. Perhaps they would get married. She would become Mrs. Whitaker...

Now that his child with Vanessa was gone, he realized every step he had taken had been a catastrophic mistake.

Because Julian was present, Elara exchanged a few polite pleasantries before standing up to take her leave.

Just as she did, she saw her sister Vivian and Gideon walk in from the courtyard, one after the other.

It seemed their breakup hadn't been a clean break after all.

She had no fondness for Gideon and no desire to make small talk, so she prepared to lead her sister out of the Neville estate.
