Chapter 310:
That answer brought a flicker of ease to Eleanino’s face. With the tension lifting, she pivoted back to business. “The first anniversary gala for Star Wish Investments is coming up in a few days. Want me to go with you p>
As the vice president and Alden’s closest associate, her attendance would only be expected.
Alden never paid much attention to formal events, so he gave a casual nod. That was all the confirmation she needed.
Another exhale slipped from Eleanino’s lips. From that point on, their talk stayed firmly rooted in business.
Eleanino handled it well—sharp, attentive, even more precise than Dorian ever had been. Alden didn’t hold back in acknowledging her effort.
Whatever storm had raged inside her seemed to quiet down. She kept her composure and never uttered Helena’s name again.
But the moment their car stopped in front of the Star Wish Investments building and they went their separate ways, everything changed.
With quick steps, Eleanino disappeared into a quiet corner of the lot, her face stripped of its earlier calm. Clenching her jaw, she pulled out her phone and made a call—to the one tailing Helena’s every move.
Her voice was low but lethal. “I want her to suffer. If she gets off easy, don’t even think about getting paid p>

With each mental replay, her anger simmered hotter, eventually boiling over until she found herself unable to concentrate on her work.

“Wow, this dress is stunning! Are those actual diamonds sparkling on it p>
Eleanino turned toward the source, and her suspicion was confirmed when she saw Helena’s close friend, Valeria.

Eleanino, who had meticulously researched Helena and her associates, recognized Valeria instantly. Despite her humble origins as a psychologist, Valeria was examining a dress from Valemont Couture—the brand’s latest creation, encrusted with diamonds and carrying a million-dollar price tag.
A sardonic grin twisted Eleanino’s mouth as she approached, interrupting the sales associate before she could respond to Valeria. With an air of casual disdain, she commented, “This brand is synonymous with luxury and rarity. The materials they use are always authentic. Your question, Miss Clark, evidently shows that you are unfamiliar with the finer things p>
Valeria, unbothered, met Eleanino’s gaze and admitted candidly, “You’re right. I’m not accustomed to this level of extravagance. But you, Miss Haynes, seem perfectly at home here—perhaps you missed your calling as a sales associate for such an elite brand p>
