Chapter 7 With Elaines messy history and the complicated drama between her , Finley , and Bianca , Tracy couldnt help but feel uneasy .
Even if we were wrong about her , theres gotta be a reason for it ! The thought flitted through her mind , but it was enough to make her feel justified again .
She straightened her back , her confidence quickly renaming .
Shawn , however , wasnt as sure .
His expression turned awkward , guilt creeping in as the pieces started to click Rubbing his temples , he sighed and admitted reluctantly .
This time … yeah , I screwed up .
I misjudged her .
Bianca , as poised and perfect as ever , stepped in with a warm smile .
Lets bring Elaine back soon , okay ? Shes probably upset after being misunderstood .
We need to make things right before it gets worse .
But Tracy wasnt about to back down just yet Even if she didnt push Blanca into the water , her attitude was still our of line .
She acts like were the ones who owe her something .
What are we supposed to apologize because the babies got switched ? Like thats our fault ? Honestly , the more I think about it , the more pissed off I get .
Shawn kept quiet , frustration simmering under the surface .
He couldnt deny Tracys point Elaine could be difficult .
Blood ties or not , over a decade of separation had created a gap between them that felt impossible to bridge ..
How are we supposed to treat her like family when she still felt like a stranger ! he thought bitterly .
If only Blanca had been our real sister … things wouldve been so much easier .
Finally , Shown made up his mind .
Til go pick Elaine up tomorrow .
Well talk this out and clear up the misunderstanding right Tracy didnt argue , though her lips pressed into a thin line .
Deep down , she agreed it was the ri move .
But shed never admit that out loud .
Still , with Elaine gone , her back pain had flared up again .
Even acupuncture wasnt helping anymore , and without Elaine around to assist , her frustration had only grown .
Shes doing this on purpose , trying to guilt trip us Tracy muttered under her breath .
She knows exactly how to push our buttons Neither Tracy nor Shawn realized just how serious things had gotten .
The next day , Shawn went to the hospital , only to find out that Flaine had already been discharged the day before His chest tightened as panic set in .
He pulled out his phone and dialed her number , but the call didnt go through .
Shed blocked him .
Shawns face darkened .
He wasnt used to being ignored , let alone shut out completely .
Sure , theyd made a mistake this time , but he hadnt expected Elaine to cut ties so decisively .
Leaving the hospital without a word ! Blocking his number ? It felt like a slap to the face .
Frowning , he switched to another number and called Elaines agent , Mavis , He figured the least he could do was offer Elaine a role in a big budget movic to smooth things over .
Mavis , caught off guard by Shawns sudden generosity , immediately agreed .
She didnt even bother hiding her excitement .
Of course , of course .
Ill let Elaine know right away But Shawns so called generosity wasnt born of guilt or remorse .
No , this was all about keeping Ebine out of Biancas way .
Slawn had always gone out of his way to prioritize Bianca , showering her with the best resources and opportunities .
It was thanks to him that Bianca fud gone from an unknown nobody y to one of the brightest rising a stars in the industry .
Elaine , on the other hand , had only tasted brief success .
Her hit fantasy drama Rose had captivated audiences and shot up in ratings , bur Shawn had serpetly sabotaged her .
1/3 Dream Read Romance … Download 320 PM Chapter 7 He planted rumors , spread dirt about her , and even blocked major TV networks from airing the series .
What couldve been her break through was crushed before it even had a chance to flourish .
Why ? Because Shawn was terrified of Elaine outshining Bianca , Every time the two sisters clashed , Shawn instinctively took Biancas side .
And whenever Elaine fought back , he hit her where it hurt most her Career It was like punishing Elaine was his way of protecting Bianca .
Mavis , unaware of just of how deep Shawns favoritism ran , couldnt hide her confusion .
By the way .
Shawn added , tell Elaine to unblock my number , will you ? Blocking her own brother is one thing , but me ? Come on .
What kind of childish nonsense is that ? His tone was tinged with both frustration and disbelief .
Mavia didnt understand Elaines drastic actions .
Sure , Elaine could be headstrong , but cutting off her big brother entirely ? That was extreme , even for her .
Shawn , after all , was the eldest sibling a man of strict principles and rigid discipline .
But his softer side , his tenderness , was reserved entirely for Blanca .
After hanging up the phone , Shawn felt a wave of relief .
As far as he was concerned , the matter was under control now .
Hed give Elaine some time to cool off , then sit her down for a proper lecture .
Someone had to raighten out that temper of hers .
It wasnt until the third day that Elaine finally powered her phone back on .
Almost inimediately , she got a call from Mavis , who sounded way too cheerful .
Elaine ! Guess what ? Mavis practically yelled into the phone .
Kingsley stepped in and cleared up the whole misunderstanding ! The Yeats family knows now you had nothing to do with Rianca falling into the water Elaine stayed silent , lesting her words sink in .
And , Mavis continued , barely pausing for breath , your brother agreed to let you star in God of War at This isnt just any movie its directed by Korner Bruce ! You know , the Komer Bruce .
His films are box office gold and critical darlings .
The studio even announced it on Twitter youre officially the leading lady ! This is huge ! But Elaine didnt react .
She didnt sound excited .
In fact , her tone was so calm it was unsettling .
Im not taking the role , she said , her voice cold and Mavis had always believed Shawn genuinely wanted Elaine to succeed .
But Elaine knew better .
To her , this wasnt an opportunity it was an insult wrapped in shiny packaging .
A token of forgiveness after being falsely accused .
A slap followed by a candy .
Once , the mightve been thrilled by this offer .
But now ? Now it felt meaningless .
Im done with handouts , Elaine said , her voice sharp with finality .
I dont want anything theyre offering me ? Elaines mind drifted back to the past .
Shawn had gone out of his way to crush her career just to prop up Bianca .
Her own brother .
Shed once confronted him , demanding answers , and his response still stung to this day : I didnt want Bianca feeling inferior to you .
Shes already insecure because of her background .
Every decision Shawn made was calculated , cold , and heartless .
He didnt care about family or feelings .
And every time he cut her down , Elaines heart grew colder .
Now she felt nothing .
If thats how he wanted to play , fine .
She wasnt going to be their pawn anymore .
This movie ! They could give it to whoever the hell they wanted .
She didnt care .
She was done being used , done being a stepping stone for Bianca .
The Yeats family name , their affection , their privileges Bianca could have it all .
Tint that what they want anyway ? she thought .
are you out of your mind ? This is a once in a- What do you mean youre not taking it ? Mavis finally found her voice , sounding panicked .
