She then turned to Elena, her eyes beaming with immense pride. She wrapped her arms around her youngest daughter in a tight embrace. "I am so incredibly proud of you, my dear. Even though you are only my second-born child, you behave so much better than the first-born. You will do very well as the leader of our empire, and I know for a fact that I will never have any regrets making you my successor."

"Thank you so much, Mom!" Elena cheered, basking in the glory.

    She hurriedly put her luxury shoes back on and scurried out of the office, taking the elevator down to the grand lobby. She sat nervously on one of the plush waiting chairs, her eyes glued to the front entrance.A few minutes later, a luxury car screeched to a halt outside the glass doors. Elena stepped out, wearing a glamorous outfit and a thick layer of makeup to hide the mark on her face. She held her chin up high, strutting toward the entrance of Astra Corp like she owned the entire block.But the moment she tried to walk through the heavy security gates, two massive, heavily armed corporate guards stepped directly into her path, blocking her completely.Elena stopped dead in her tracks, her temper instantly rising. "What the hell is the meaning of this? Move out of my way! Madam Selene personally called for me to come here!"The lead security guard looked down at her with a completely stone-cold expression. "I am incredibly sorry, ma'am. But after what happened during your last v

    "No," Selene said firmly, slamming her hand lightly on the desk. "I absolutely refuse to sign anything with you."Georgia’s eyes widened, and her face turned pale. Panic seized her throat. If this deal slipped through their fingers because of a tiny scheduling issue, the Sinclair family would become the laughingstock of the entire high-society world."Please, ma'am! Please, Madam Selene!" Georgia begged, her voice rising in a desperate panic. "I will get her here in an instant! I will call her right now and force her to come down here!"With trembling fingers, Georgia pulled her smartphone out of her designer handbag. She quickly dialed Elena’s number and pressed the phone tightly against her ear, praying her daughter would pick up.Back across the city, Elena was actually standing inside a high-end luxury car dealership, happily admiring a sparkling, brand-new sports car. When her phone buzzed, she answered it instantly."Hey, Mom! Have you signed the massive deal yet?" Elena asked,

    "Yes, Ma'am! We gave her the full royal treatment just as you ordered!" the receptionist replied proudly.Selene took her private executive elevator straight to the top floor. A professional smile formed on her face as she walked down the hallway. She was fully expecting to open the doors and see Isabelle—the brilliant, humble woman who had written the beautiful proposal and whom Lance cherished above all else.But the moment Selene pushed the heavy office doors open, her smile completely vanished.Her eyes widened in absolute shock and confusion.There, sitting carelessly on her expensive designer leather sofa, was Georgia. The old woman had her shoes off, her bare feet resting in the hands of a massage therapist, while her mouth was stuffed with expensive food. The entire office smelled like a buffet, and dishes were scattered everywhere.Selene stood frozen at the entrance, her expression turning cold."What the hell is going on here?" Selene asked with a frown.Georgia’s heart ski

    "U-Uhmm, it's nothing, Mom!" Elena stammered, quickly forcing a very weak, sickly cough. She rubbed her forehead and faked a miserable expression. "The thing is... I am just not feeling too well today. My stomach hurts, and my head is spinning."Georgia looked at her skeptically. "Not feeling well? But you have been jumping all around the house in pure excitement since early this morning.""Uhmm, I think it's because I haven't fully recovered from that horrible ambush by those street thugs the other day," Elena lied smoothly, trying her best to look fragile. "I think it is actually much better if you go to Astra Corp today, Mom! I have already met Madam Selene briefly, but since you are the matriarch, meeting her face-to-face is a wonderful idea. You need to know our supreme business partner one-on-one!"Georgia paused, thinking about it for a moment. She nodded her head slowly. "You know what? That is actually a very valid point. It is highly professional for the main matriarch to si

You will do very well as the leader of our empire, and I know for a fact that I will never have any regrets making you my successor.""Thank you so much, Mom!" Elena cheered, basking in the glory.The entire room erupted into loud applause once again, clinking their glasses together as the grand ceremony continued late into the night before finally coming to an end.Later that night, Elena was so incredibly excited that she could barely sleep. Her mind was racing at a million miles per hour. She was now the official Head of the Sinclair family business, a corporation that had suddenly become one of the biggest, most powerful entities in the entire region.She spent hours lying in her luxurious bed, happily scrolling thr

    To Georgia, the answer was completely obvious. In her eyes, Lance was a man who had just spent the afternoon pretending to be the General, making him the most obvious, untrustworthy liar in the room. There was no way she would let an outcast ruin her family's greatest night.Georgia slammed her hand heavily on the podium, the loud thud echoing through the speakers."ENOUGH!!!" Georgia roared at the top of her lungs. "I have had absolutely enough of your nonsense, both of you! Isabelle, I only invited you here tonight out of pity so you and your starving family could eat some free food! And now, you still dare to stand there and spin these disgusting lies to humiliate your sister?! You have completely crossed your limits!""But Mom!!!" Isabelle shouted, tears finally streaming down her face."I said ENOUGH!" Georgia screamed back, her eyes filled with pure hatred. "Get out of my house right now, and don't you ever come back! I never want to see your pathetic faces anywhere near our fam
