Even if we were wrong about her , theres gotta be a reason for it ! The thought flitted through her mind , but it was enough to make her feel justified again .

She straightened her back , her confidence quickly renaming .

Shawn , however , wasnt as sure .

His expression turned awkward , guilt creeping in as the pieces started to click Rubbing his temples , he sighed and admitted reluctantly .

This time … yeah , I screwed up .

I misjudged her .

Bianca , as poised and perfect as ever , stepped in with a warm smile .

Lets bring Elaine back soon , okay ? Shes probably upset after being misunderstood .

We need to make things right before it gets worse .

But Tracy wasnt about to back down just yet Even if she didnt push Blanca into the water , her attitude was still our of line .

She acts like were the ones who owe her something .

What are we supposed to apologize because the babies got switched ? Like thats our fault ? Honestly , the more I think about it , the more pissed off I get .

Shawn kept quiet , frustration simmering under the surface .

He couldnt deny Tracys point Elaine could be difficult .

Blood ties or not , over a decade of separation had created a gap between them that felt impossible to bridge ..

How are we supposed to treat her like family when she still felt like a stranger ! he thought bitterly .

If only Blanca had been our real sister … things wouldve been so much easier .

Finally , Shown made up his mind .

Til go pick Elaine up tomorrow .

Well talk this out and clear up the misunderstanding right Tracy didnt argue , though her lips pressed into a thin line .

Deep down , she agreed it was the ri move .

But shed never admit that out loud .

Still , with Elaine gone , her back pain had flared up again .

Even acupuncture wasnt helping anymore , and without Elaine around to assist , her frustration had only grown .

Shes doing this on purpose , trying to guilt trip us Tracy muttered under her breath .

She knows exactly how to push our buttons Neither Tracy nor Shawn realized just how serious things had gotten .

The next day , Shawn went to the hospital , only to find out that Flaine had already been discharged the day before His chest tightened as panic set in .

He pulled out his phone and dialed her number , but the call didnt go through .

Shed blocked him .

Shawns face darkened .

He wasnt used to being ignored , let alone shut out completely .

Sure , theyd made a mistake this time , but he hadnt expected Elaine to cut ties so decisively .

Leaving the hospital without a word ! Blocking his number ? It felt like a slap to the face .

Frowning , he switched to another number and called Elaines agent , Mavis , He figured the least he could do was offer Elaine a role in a big budget movic to smooth things over .

Mavis , caught off guard by Shawns sudden generosity , immediately agreed .

She didnt even bother hiding her excitement .

Of course , of course .

Ill let Elaine know right away But Shawns so called generosity wasnt born of guilt or remorse .

No , this was all about keeping Ebine out of Biancas way .

Slawn had always gone out of his way to prioritize Bianca , showering her with the best resources and opportunities .

It was thanks to him that Bianca fud gone from an unknown nobody y to one of the brightest rising a stars in the industry .

Elaine , on the other hand , had only tasted brief success .

Her hit fantasy drama Rose had captivated audiences and shot up in ratings , bur Shawn had serpetly sabotaged her .

1/3 Dream Read Romance … Download 320 PM Chapter 7 He planted rumors , spread dirt about her , and even blocked major TV networks from airing the series .

What couldve been her break through was crushed before it even had a chance to flourish .

Why ? Because Shawn was terrified of Elaine outshining Bianca , Every time the two sisters clashed , Shawn instinctively took Biancas side .

And whenever Elaine fought back , he hit her where it hurt most her Career It was like punishing Elaine was his way of protecting Bianca .

Mavis , unaware of just of how deep Shawns favoritism ran , couldnt hide her confusion .

By the way .

Shawn added , tell Elaine to unblock my number , will you ? Blocking her own brother is one thing , but me ? Come on .

What kind of childish nonsense is that ? His tone was tinged with both frustration and disbelief .

Mavia didnt understand Elaines drastic actions .

Sure , Elaine could be headstrong , but cutting off her big brother entirely ? That was extreme , even for her .

Shawn , after all , was the eldest sibling a man of strict principles and rigid discipline .

But his softer side , his tenderness , was reserved entirely for Blanca .

After hanging up the phone , Shawn felt a wave of relief .

As far as he was concerned , the matter was under control now .

Hed give Elaine some time to cool off , then sit her down for a proper lecture .

Someone had to raighten out that temper of hers .

It wasnt until the third day that Elaine finally powered her phone back on .

Almost inimediately , she got a call from Mavis , who sounded way too cheerful .

Elaine ! Guess what ? Mavis practically yelled into the phone .

Kingsley stepped in and cleared up the whole misunderstanding ! The Yeats family knows now you had nothing to do with Rianca falling into the water Elaine stayed silent , lesting her words sink in .

And , Mavis continued , barely pausing for breath , your brother agreed to let you star in God of War at This isnt just any movie its directed by Korner Bruce ! You know , the Komer Bruce .

His films are box office gold and critical darlings .

The studio even announced it on Twitter youre officially the leading lady ! This is huge ! But Elaine didnt react .

She didnt sound excited .

In fact , her tone was so calm it was unsettling .

Im not taking the role , she said , her voice cold and Mavis had always believed Shawn genuinely wanted Elaine to succeed .

But Elaine knew better .

To her , this wasnt an opportunity it was an insult wrapped in shiny packaging .

A token of forgiveness after being falsely accused .

A slap followed by a candy .

Once , the mightve been thrilled by this offer .

But now ? Now it felt meaningless .

Im done with handouts , Elaine said , her voice sharp with finality .

I dont want anything theyre offering me ? Elaines mind drifted back to the past .

Shawn had gone out of his way to crush her career just to prop up Bianca .

Her own brother .

Shed once confronted him , demanding answers , and his response still stung to this day : I didnt want Bianca feeling inferior to you .

Shes already insecure because of her background .

Every decision Shawn made was calculated , cold , and heartless .

He didnt care about family or feelings .

And every time he cut her down , Elaines heart grew colder .

Now she felt nothing .

If thats how he wanted to play , fine .

She wasnt going to be their pawn anymore .

This movie ! They could give it to whoever the hell they wanted .

She didnt care .

She was done being used , done being a stepping stone for Bianca .

The Yeats family name , their affection , their privileges Bianca could have it all .

Tint that what they want anyway ? she thought .

are you out of your mind ? This is a once in a- What do you mean youre not taking it ? Mavis finally found her voice , sounding panicked .

Elaine , are you lifetime chance ! Its Korner Bruce , for Gods sake ! 2/3 G Dreama Read Romance ..

Download Chapter 7 Mavis Elaine said firmly .

Im not the same Elaine Yeats I used to be Once , shed craved her familys approval so badly it hurt .

Shed poured her heart and soul into proving herself , hoping theyd finally see her value .

But now , she realized how stupid that was .

When someone already hated her , it didnt matter what she did She could move mountains , and theyd still find a way to tear her down .

Even breathing feels like a crime thought in the their eyes .

So why bother ? she is wasnt some Elaine logged onto Twitter and typed out a single post , short and direct .

She announced her decision to step down from the film .

This grand rebellion .

She just didnt care anymore .

Shawns offer was nothing more than a guilty gesture after screwing her over , and to her , it was meaningless .

She wasnt going to play along .

Mavis , still in shock , eventually let out a long sigh .

You know what ? she said , her tone softening.

I get it .

She had been living in Biancas shadow for so long .

Maybe this was what she needed .

So , whats next ? Mavis asked gemily .

Do you have a plan ? Elaines eyes glinted with quiet determination .

Trn stepping away from the entertainment industry , she said .

At least for now .

Im going back to the countryside .

No deadlines , no spotlight , just peace and quiet .

Mavis nodded slowly .

She remembered Elaines humble beginnings in a tiny village , far removed from the glitz and chaos of Boynton Maybe leaving everything behind and going back to her roots was exactly what Elaine needed .
