Chapter 156 On her way back to the villa , Elaine could clearly feel Biancas gaze lingering on her back, Naturally , she had no intention of looking back .
Blanca , you want to know what I truly want ! I want to be the protagonist .
Elaine thought , I want to thrive in my own world , independent of you .
My life wont be controlled by you .
This is just the beginning .
President of the Cello Association ? Just one of my many sock puppets .
There are more surprises ahead .
Bianca watched Elaines figure disappear into the distance , her fists slowly clenching beneath her sleeves , Not only was Elaine impeccably dressed with class , but she also resided in a beautiful garden mansion She carried herself with the poise and elegance of the social elite , showing no trace of the years spent wandering and scavenging with her penniless foster mother .
She had far surpassed Bianca .
Anyone who knew Elaines past would surely marvel at such a remarkable transformation .
Bianca muttered to herself .
Youre really something .
Ehine .
When Elaine made her entrance earlier , even the most refined ladies in high society could not help but admire her , referring to her as a graceful princess with unparalleled elegance So if Elaine is the graceful princess , what does that make me ? I grew up in a distinguished family and should have been the one praised for my appearance , poise , and all my other attributes , Bianca thought .
Perhaps, for Bianca , this was the outcome she most feared .
Bianca could not quite figure out what she truly wanted anymore .
Bianca used to want her brothers affection , the love of her family , and the admiration of fans .
She had it all , but then , one day , Elaine no longer cared to compete with her .
Now , what Bianca craved was the sense of superiority and thrill that comparing herself to Elaine brought .
In many dramas revolving around fake and real daughters , the fake one seemed to always triumph in the end .
She enjoyed the best education and love from family and friends and was also showered with adoration from the servants .
As she grew older , she would inherit the familys wealth , stocks , and jewelry , inevitably finding a perfect match from a prestigious family Transitioning effortlessly from a privileged young woman to a high society wife , she would have it all truly a life of success .
The real daughter , on the other hand , would grow up in hardship , largely ignored and with little to show for herself .
Even if she was eventually reunited with her family , their affections would still be directed at the child they had raised , not her The fake daughter would be the one with all the luck .
She would be the chosen one , but Bianca felt that her life did not seem to follow that pattern .

Bianca was not sure how much time had passed before she called for a car to take her back home .
At that moment , the Yeats familys home was shrouded in a heavy , oppressive atmosphere .
After being scolded by Ella , Jepson felt even more frustrated and instructed the servant to bring him a bottle of wine .
However , what weighed more heavily on his mind was the situation with Elaine .
Why did Shawn pass along such a message ? Jepson pondered .
Likely due to the Yeats familys characteristic pride , Jepson , like his brothers , had an inherent arrogance , especially when it came to Elaine .
Even now , with everything in disarray , he was still unwilling to phone Elaine .
Jepson Jepson sipped his This wine in quien quiet contemplation , his mood improving when Bianca walked in .
He asked , Oh , Bianca , youre back ? + Chapter 156 Yeah , Bianca replied .
Jepson watched Bianca as she removed her shoes those sharp high heels , striking yet dangerous He recalled that Bianen had gone to Elaines engagement party .
Jepson took a thoughtful sip of his drink , wanting to inquire about Elaine, but hesitated , afraid it would damage his pride .
His dislike for Elaine had been unmistakably blatant in the past .
Among the seven brothers , Jepson and Calvin were the harshest toward Elaine .
Yet , ironically , Elaine always seemed to follow them around the most .
They could not deny that it fed their egos It was as if , no matter what they did , Elaine would always go out of her way to do anything for them .
But this time , upon returning , Jepson sensed that something had changed at home , and he could not understand what was going on with Elaine .
However , he did not think anything major had happened .
Jepson cleared his throat .
So how was it ? sit ? he asked .
Bianca was confused by his sudden question .
What do you mean ? she asked puzzledly .
Jepson furrowed his brows .
Didnt you go to Elaines engagement party ? Did you meet her ? Did she say anything ? Or did she mention me ? Whatever issues she had with our parents , grandmother , or the others , it shouldnt have anything to do with me and Calvin , right he thought .
Oh right , and theres Travis whos somewhere off having fun .
The three of us are innocent Jepson did not think Elaine would make any moves against him .
He felt that Harlan and the rest had made things sound more dramatic than they WETE .
Biancas heart sank .
She felt a wave of frustration wash over her .
Why is everyone so fixated on Elaine now ? Before , Elaine was practically invisible , she thought frustratedly , Regardless , she answered politely .
No , Elaine never mentioned you , Jepson After hearing Biancas answer , Jepsons previously hopeful expression turned somber once again .
Did she say anything else ? Jepson asked .
Bianca shook her head This time .
Jepson could not keep his composure anymo He thought back to the message Flaine had conveyed through Shawn , but it did not make sense to him .
What does Elaine really want ? Could she be holding onto resentment because of the fish pond incident ! Jepson thought .
Do you have Elaines contact information ? he asked Bianca .
At this point , Jepson no longer cared about his pride and wanted to call Elaine immediately .
After Bianca provided the contact , Jepson dialed the number without hesitation Elaine , meanwhile , was at the office , celebrating with Sharon .
Sharon was so excited she could hardly contain herself she had just received an invitation to the award ceremony , confirming her film had been nominated Upon receiving the call , Sharon screamed in joy , wrapping her arms around Elaine and twirling around in excitement .
Having gone from being an unnoticed , hated figure to a successful star with both a strong reputation and substantial earnings , Sharon was deeply grateful for the advice Elaine had provided her behind the scenes .
As Elaine popped open a bottle of wine , she glanced at the phone screen and immediately recognized the caller .
2:05 PM c Chapter 156 Still , she answered the call Jepson said , Hello ? Elaine asked , Who are you ! 190 Jepson , caught off guard by Elaines words , struggled to suppress his frustration .
Elaine , its me , Jepson .
How is it you cant even recognize my voice any more ? Oh , its Mr.
Yeats , Elaine replied nonchalantly .
But I must remind you that I dont have a brother .
Jepson had already set aside his ego to reach out to Elaine , but her coldness shattered the fragile bit of dignity he had left .
In the past , Jepson had disdain for Elaine , even harboring a strong aversion toward her .
However , he had set aside his pride to make this call to Elaine , yet he was met with the sting of her rejecting the very idea of having a brother .
