Yvonne sneered. What a gold digger.
It’s only 50 million. Does this woman have money on the brain?
How ridiculous will it be to choose someone like her as the clan leader?
“I’ll pay the 50 million. Can we compete now?”
Finished
“My apologies for the poor hospitality. Cody, how could we make a guest crane her neck like this? It must be sore.”
Cody hurried forward to apologize at once.
Yvonne rubbed her neck, furious but holding it in. She had not forgotten her real purpose here.
When Stella stepped down, Yvonne spoke again.
“Besides painting, I want to compete with you in perfume making.”
“Now I recognize her! That’s Yvonne, the master perfumer.”
“She’s a legend!”
“Isn’t this unfair?”
“But the perfumer might not be good at painting either.”
“I wonder what the penalty will be for the loser?”
Stella smiled faintly. She knew exactly what this woman was up to.
The Corbin medical clan was famous not only for medicine but also for perfume.
Yvonne wanted to humiliate her so she would never dare join the Corbins.
It was ridiculous. Stella had never even wanted to go.
They had chosen her, not the other way around. The other candidates already hated her, and she was completely innocent.
“Fine. I accept.”
Stella agreed easily, catching Yvonne off guard.

“I’m also an internationally famous perfumer. My fee isn’t cheap either. Make it 50 million,” Yvonne said.
Stella chuckled. “You’re the one who challenged me. I’m just doing my job.” Yvonne was left speechless. “First, let’s set the terms for winning and losing.”
Yvonne was bitter but refused to waste the chance.
It was clear that if Stella refused to compete, she would get nowhere.
She had not expected Jasper to be so powerful.
Her stunt today had taken a lot of planning.
“I have only one demand: broadcast our competition live. For the results, we’ll each invite three respected masters of painting and perfume to judge,” Yvonne said.
“That’s unfair. Your judges will be biased and make up their minds early,” Jasper spoke up.
Jasper’s words drew nods from the crowd.
“There are plenty of people here. We can also display our works anonymously and let the whole country vote.”
Yvonne didn’t care about the final result.
She only wanted the Corbin elders to see Stella fail at perfume making, so they would rethink the heir selection.
agree,” Stella said.
lla.”
Stella smiled and whispered in his ear, “Dad, winning or losing doesn’t matter. I’m just here for a quick paycheck. Besides, wouldn’t losing be better? Do you want me to join the Corbins?”
The Corbins were absurd. They were richer than nations, but their younger generation lacked talent. So they hunted down blood relatives to join their succession battle, hoping a winner would restore the clan’s glory.
But if she actually led them to greater heights, those same losers would try to kill her. Why bother with such a thankless task?
“Won’t this shame you? You don’t have to compete.”
“Competitions have wins and losses. If I won every time, why would anyone else bother

entering? They might as well just hand me the trophy and prize money. Besides, she’s paying my fee. Quitting now isn’t my style.”
Jasper patted her shoulder. “Just enjoy the competition.”
Stella had inherited his talent for painting, but she was too busy to practice often.
“Can we start?” Yvonne asked impatiently.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Stella kept a polite smile.
“Sean, aren’t you going to stop her? Yvonne’s clearly doing this on purpose to embarrass Stella,” Shane said.
They were trying to eliminate Stella from the running, but why should she have to put up with this?
“Let’s watch.” Sean stared at Stella without blinking.
He had planned to guide her before he passed away, but the idea of making her the direct heir had faced fierce opposition.
She didn’t even want the position.
If his grandfather and he were gone one day, Shane would never be able to protect the Corbins.
Then the clan’s thousand–year legacy would fall to the side branches.
Stella and Leo were at least the grandchildren of his grandpa’s sister, part of the main bloodline.
“How will the competition work?” Stella asked, ready to finish quickly and collect her
pay.
“No tools except paper and paint. But you can use accessories from your own body. That won’t be against the rules.”
Stella glanced at her jewelry and smiled meaningfully.
“No brushes? How can she paint?”
“This woman is setting her up.”
“Maybe she’s scared of losing to Master Inkblot.”
“But she can’t use brushes either. It’s fair, right?”
