Anneliese slammed her phone onto the desk. The sharp sound cracked against the wood and echoed in the air. She spun her chair around, crossed her arms tight, and fixed Gianna with a smile that carried no kindness.
“So, Gianna, what now? Do you have more advice for me today p>
Gianna lifted her brows, her voice dripping with mock ease. “It was just a question. Why so uptight? My mother is a world-famous wedding dress designer. She has her own brand. She’s collected countless classic gowns.
“She never designs for just anyone. I thought I’d be generous and ask if you wanted me to introduce her. But from the way you’re acting, it seems you don’t need her help, right p>
Anneliese tilted her head, her eyes cool and unreadable.
“A few days ago, you stood beside your cousin and threw accusations at me. And now you want to recommend your mother as my gown designer? Gianna, you shift your stance so quickly I can’t even follow it p>
She would have to be out of her mind to put her wedding dress in Gianna’s mother’s hands.
India had chased Jonathan for years. The Fullbusters and the Malones had both considered tying their families together.
It didn’t take much thought to guess how the Malone family saw her.
If she went to Gianna’s mother for a gown, it would look like a challenge.
And Gianna’s mother would never agree. The only one left humiliated would be her.
Gianna let out a sharp laugh. “I live on my own terms. Not like you, Anneliese, who thinks too much about everything. I offered kindness, and you turned it into poison. If you don’t want it, then fine p>
She turned her back and stormed away.
Anneliese didn’t waste another glance. She picked up her phone again, but her interest in the gown photos had faded.
She dropped it aside and pulled the research papers closer instead.
Inside the White family estate, a loud crack split the silence.
Melanie’s palm had slammed across Selina’s cheek.
Red bloomed across her face in seconds.
Melanie pointed a shaking finger at her. “It was you again! You knew Anne was a top student at Astoria University from the start. This is all your fault! Without you, we never would have treated her like that p>
The scandal had spread across every corner of the internet. The Whites had seen it all.
At first, Melanie believed Anneliese’s disgrace was a chance. She even cooked several dishes herself, packed them up, and set out to find her. She thought it was the moment to patch things up.
But she never reached Anneliese. By the time she came back, the tide had already shifted.

Anneliese no longer needed their pity.

And when they discovered she was a student at Astoria University, shame burned through them. They had mocked her as a dropout, a failure, someone beneath Selina. Now they regretted every word.
They remembered each time they scolded her as useless. They remembered how Selina always cut her off. They realized Selina had known all along.
When Selina returned to collect her things, Melanie blocked her path. The moment she pushed, Selina sneered and admitted it.
“Ha. So she’s some top student at Astoria University. Big deal. If you had cared at all when you first brought her in, you would have found out. And now you throw blame on me? Her success has nothing to do with you. Don’t forget, she isn’t even your blood p>
Her mocking eyes swept over Melanie, then landed on Perseus and Christopher.
“Brothers, I’m the one with your blood. Not her. I know you’ve been selling the family’s assets. Some of that belongs to me and Billy. You don’t get to keep it all p>
The house was a ruin.
Every servant had been sent away. Rooms were empty. A broken vase lay shattered by the door. Debt collectors had already come.
Tomorrow, the estate could be gone. Selina returned only to grab what she could. She stuffed designer bags and jewelry into her arms, anything that could be sold.
“You’re dreaming! You won’t take another cent from the Whites. Get out p>
Melanie’s hair was wild, her voice raw with fury, her face carved with years she hadn’t yet lived.
Perseus stepped up to steady her and glared at Selina. “Leave p>
Christopher seized Selina’s arm and dragged her toward the door.
She carried nothing. She was thrown out and stumbled into a black Mercedes waiting outside.
Her uncle Hiroto sat behind the wheel. The moment she slid in, he leaned toward her.
“Well p>
Selina’s face was pale as paper. Her eyes shone red with panic. Her voice shook hard.
“Uncle, they must have told Jonathan everything! I just said I knew they sold off the White family’s assets. They didn’t deny a thing p>
