Chapter 85 Stop talking nonsense , Shawn frowned and said , Youre upset because Sharon snatched that role from you .
But the most important thing right now is your career in the entertainment industry .
Biancas face darkened as Shawns words , which were meant to comfort her , left her feeling more lost than ever .
It stung , especially since the lead female role shed fought so hard for had been taken from under her nose by Sharon .
From now on , Sharon would be her true rival .
And what was with Sharon ? What had she done to deserve this kind of behavior ? Was she unaware that behind Bianca stood the entire Galaxy Entertainment ? How dare a tiny Joy Entertainment go head to head with them ? Mom , Ill go talk to Sharons boss , Bianca said , trying to maintain her composure .
Good , Tracy replied eagerly , then quickly moved on to another topic .
And what about Starlight Fashion ? Hows it going ? Have any shareholders started grumbling about Elaine yet ? If the companys not doing well , surely their interests are affected .
Theyre bound to complain .
Tracy and Ella were both waiting for Elaine to mess up so they could swoop in at the next shareholder meeting , tear her down , and convince her to return Starlight Fashion to the Yeats family .
They thought theyd be able to pressure Elaine into stepping aside .
After all , they had Graham backing them up .
But Shawns tone was flat as he responded , Starlight Fashions performance this year is at the top of the city .
Last Sunday , Sally hosted a performance report meeting , and Starlight Fashion broke nearly a decades worth of sales records , even surpassing previous market shares .
Word is , Elaines planning a celebration , inviting all the other shareholders .
Its probably already the talk of the company .
Tracys face froze , her eager expression shattering like cracked glass .
What ? How could this be ? Back when Elaine rejected Biancas offer to join the company , Tracy and Ella had been so certain Elaine would eventually fail .
Theyd planned to wait for her to falter , and then take advantage of the situation .
But less than six months later , Starlight Fashion had outperformed all other companies and broken past records .
Clearly , Elaine wasnt the incompetent fool theyd believed .
Well , looks like Grandma might be disappointed .
We all thought Elaine would give up Starlight Fashion soon enough .
Now it seems shes determined to go head to head with us , Tracy muttered through clenched teeth , still refusing to believe in Elaines success .
Shawn simply sighed and turned to leave .

Bianca , watching him walk away , felt a brief flicker of something in her chest but said nothing .
She was the perfect image of the kind , understanding sister they all adored too poised to show any weakness .
No matter what , she couldnt let herself be seen as anything less than the darling of the family .
As Shawn stepped out of the room , he bumped into Tucker .
Tucker ? What are you doing here ? Shawn asked , raising an eyebrow .
Tucker stood just outside , lips twitching in a half smile , eyes carrying an unreadable look .
Oh , nothing much .
Just came to check things out .
Since youve finished comforting Mom and Bianca , Ill leave you to it .
Shawn raised an eyebrow at Tuckers odd behavior but didnt comment further .
He assumed it was just the lingering effects of everything with Elaine .
Tucker was a smart guy , he trusted him to keep it together .
Meanwhile , Elaine had returned to the Morgan family estate with Kingsley .
Their engagement was already in the works .
As soon as Elaine walked in , she was pounced on by the little cat , Book Elf let out an excited meow , one that was almost grating to the ears .
It was clearly thrilled to report something important , though a bit too worked up for its own good .
Kingsley , thinking the cat was stressed out and worried it might hurt Elaine , quickly scooped it up and cradled it in his arms .
Realizing it had ended up on the lap of the fragile , intimidating villain , Book Elf froze for a second , clearly startled .
It was still scared of Kingsley , unlike Elaine , who had earned the cats affection and loyalty .
After all , it wasnt as though it had special privileges with Kingsley , and if it irritated him , who knew what might happen ? Book Elf turned to Elaine with a pleading look , silently begging for help .
Its fine , Elaine said , meeting Book Elfs gaze .
She understood what it was trying to say .
She gently took the little cat from Kingsleys arms and 1/2 ΘΑ Dreame Read Romance … 4.4 FREE Open 1:08 PM Chapter 85 explained , Its not stressed out .
Its just happy Im back .
Kingsley nodded , seeing that the cat had calmed down , its claws neatly tucked in , and remained motionless in Elaines arms .
He didnt press the matter any further .
Elaine carried the cat into the room .
Elaine , youre amazing ! As soon as they were inside , Book Elf exclaimed excitedly , Do you realize how badass you are ? Youve somehow won over both of your brothers ! You probably dont know , but its Shawn and Harlan .
Harlans emotional pain is probably just as bad as Tuckers so heartbreaking that I almost feel like forgiving them myself .
Shut up , Elaine said coldly , cutting off Book Elf mid sentence .
Book Elf , dont make me slap you .
Dont forget , youre still a cat .
If I want to give you the hardest slap , I can do that anytime .
Do you want to test me ? How dare it speak as though it had the right to forgive her brothers on her behalf ? Once shed made up her mind , she wasnt going back .
Did they honestly think that after begging her for forgiveness , shedding tears , and pleading with her to come back , she would just fall for it ? That she would still be the same girl who had given her heart to them in the past ? It was too late .
The people they once were , she could never reach them .
And now , she didnt care about them anymore .
Elaine continued , Do you know how mad I was when you told me to keep trying to please those brothers , to win them over ? I was so angry I even wanted to smack you then .
Book Elf shrank back a little , looking sheepish .
Alright , alright , I was just joking .
Ill call you Elaine , okay ? Elaine , youre amazing .
It was clear Book Elf wasnt going to challenge Elaine .
After all , it still relied on her to complete its mission .
Elaine sighed .
Whatever .
Youre just a robot .
Youll never understand human emotions .
But let me tell you something : when they chose Bianca over me , when they showered her with all their love and attention , they should have known this would be the result .
No matter how hard they beg , no matter how pitiful they become , I wont turn back .
Theres no way Ill ever forgive them .
Because this is what they deserve .
They deserve it .
How could her own family favor a girl who had no blood relation to them ? Elaine would never get over that betrayal in this lifetime .
Honestly , seeing them now , groveling and begging like this it gave her a sense of satisfaction .
Beyond that , she felt nothing else .
Book Elf immediately raised its little paw , like a faithful follower , and declared , Ill stick with you for life .
