"How good could she really be? She’s just a pretty face who happens to fit Lucas’ taste."Her tone was laced with jealousy."Besides, I think she’s useless. Other than her looks, she’s got nothing."Michelle was a little surprised. Her daughter was beautiful and poised, the kind who always drew compliments whenever they went out together.Yet now she was admitting that Aurora was pretty.When a woman acknowledges another woman’s beauty, it means the other must be truly stunning.That thought made Michelle curious. Just how beautiful was this woman, if even her daughter said so?Something like that would’ve been unthinkable before."Alright, get some rest."Yvonne nodded, feeling a little disheartened. "Mom, I’ll head back tomorrow then."Also, make sure to tell Dad he needs to deal with the online situation as soon as possible."
"If not, I could’ve just stayed here."The moment she thought of Aurora still being by Lucas’ side, her heart felt like it was crawling with ants.How could she accept that the man she’d chased after all her life now belonged to someone else?Hearing her words, Michelle finally felt relieved.She’d been afraid her daughter might do something reckless.After all, she only had one daughter."Yvonne, don’t forget who you are. You don’t need to stoop down and fight over a man with someone like her."Michelle kept reminding her patiently."Your background is nothing like hers. You have loving parents who protect you. And her? She’s lucky just to be in the same room as you. Don’t lower yourself."Yvonne nodded, thinking her mother made perfect sense."Don’t worry, Mom. I’ve never forgotten what you taught me. I won’t lose myself over a man."Her tone grew firmer. "Besides, I still have you and Dad. What matters most to me now is making sure my studio gets back on track."Hearing that, Michel
"Back then, we should’ve been firmer and gone ahead with arranging their engagement when they were young."Michelle now felt very regretful; after all, she was quite pleased with Lucas as a son-in-law.Not only was he powerful and influential, his family background was something she knew well.Just looking at his appearance made her daughter’s heart race.Besides, her daughter genuinely liked him.With all those factors together, she felt even more that Lucas was the best choice for a son-in-law.She just hadn’t expected him to marry so early, and to keep it from all of them.At the thought of that, Michelle felt very displeased. "Have you checked on that girl? Who exactly is she?"Hearing that, Charles looked at her sharply. "What do you mean by that? You don’t mean you have something in mind, do you?"Michelle smiled awkwardly. "What could I possibly be thinking? I’m just a housewife; I’m only curious."After all, our daughter was already excellent, yet that kid Lucas still didn’t th
After all, everyone online knew about their relationship. That was why she refused to let go. But now, judging from what her father said, if she didn’t back down, she might bring disaster upon the entire Song family. Between the man she loved and her family’s safety, she no longer knew how to balance the two.Yvonne glanced at the comments online, unsure what she was feeling.Then another message came in from Charles.[ I’ve seen what’s being said online. If you don’t want your studio shut down, you’d better come home immediately. ][ If Lucas already called me personally, what makes you think he won’t come after your studio next? ]The words jolted her awake. She finally understood her father’s intention. He wasn’t just trying to control her; he was trying to protect her.But even so, she couldn’t bear to return defeated. If she went back now, wouldn’t that make her look like a pathetic joke in Aurora’s eyes? She couldn’t stand seeing Aurora so smug. Nor could she accept becoming
She wanted to stand beside the pyramid, not beneath it looking up. She wanted to stand on equal ground with Lucas.And how could Charles not see through his daughter’s thoughts? He knew she was too ambitious. There was a time when he’d even considered marrying her to Lucas, but ever since learning that Lucas was already married, he knew that door was closed. There was no point forcing something that would never happen.Lucas calling him had made one thing clear—he had no interest in Yvonne at all. Pushing the matter further would only erase whatever little goodwill remained. Lucas wasn’t the kind of man to hold on to sentiment. Charles knew that better than anyone.So how could he possibly stand by and watch his daughter throw herself into the fire?“So, you really won’t come back?” Charles let out a long sigh. He understood her ambition too well. But the man was married now, pursuing him any further would only make her look foolish.“My mind’s made up, Dad. Please don’t interfe
“How did I raise such a deceitful daughter after all these years?”Yvonne asked in confusion. “Dad, what do you mean by that?”Her heart began to race in panic. Clearly, Lucas must have told her father something. Otherwise, he wouldn’t question her like this. Yvonne knew her father’s temperament all too well, which only made her more certain Lucas had spoken to him.Sure enough, Charles snapped angrily, “How much longer are you planning to hide this from me? Lucas already told me everything.”His tone grew harsher as he continued, “I’m warning you—go back abroad right now! Don’t stay here any longer and make a fool of yourself.”“I won’t!” Yvonne’s voice rose in defiance.“When did you become like this?” Charles shouted back, his tone sharp and unyielding. “I’m telling you, there’s no room for discussion. You’re leaving, and that’s final.”“Impossible! I’m not going anywhere!”Her voice grew louder, filled with determination. Once Yvonne made up her mind, nothing could shake her.
