Mia Winslow wanted to say something, but when she looked around, everyone was staring at her with eyes full of curiosity and mockery. They must have heard about her being the illegitimate daughter of The Winslow Family. They must be secretly laughing at her! Eleanor stepped forward, her ear almost touching Mia’s, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, she whispered: "Mia Winslow, do you think that with Vincent Preston dead, and no evidence, plus your parents shielding you, you won’t have to pay any price? No jail, no legal consequences, huh! Is there really no other way to punish you?" Mia Winslow came out of the studio, and people along the way were pointing and talking about her. She was so embarrassed that she was flushed red, hurriedly leaving while taking out a recording pen to listen to its content. However, in the recording of Eleanor’s words, not a single sentence admitted that she planned the whole thing; she was slick! Mia Winslow was so angry that she smashed the recording pen on the ground, breaking it into pieces. She went home to find Yvonne and Eugene Winslow looking upset. "How did those people outside find out you’re my biological daughter?" Eugene Winslow blasted with accusation at Mia, "Mia Winslow, is it because you feel unbalanced and unwilling to be the stepdaughter that you deliberately leaked the news? Mia Winslow, I’ve never treated you harshly since you were a child, yet you damage my reputation !" Mia Winslow looked at Yvonne in confusion and apprehension. Yvonne’s face was grim as she said, "Your dad and I attended a charity event today and were mocked by several of your dad’s competitors, saying your biological father is indeed your dad, and accused me of seducing him without shame..." Mia Winslow’s features resembled Eugene’s, and in this elite circle, rumors wouldn’t spread unless they were close to the truth. "And they said I used my ex-father-in-law’s influence to do business in Hongkong, only to be a fool for leaving evidence like you!" Eugene now deeply regretted agreeing to let Yvonne have the child; he thought it would be a son, but she turned out to be a useless daughter! "Dad! This is Eleanor’s conspiracy, she set us up!" Mia exclaimed in grievance. "You say it’s Eleanor, but where’s your evidence?" Eugene didn’t believe Mia at all. Ever since Mia had overwhelmed Jude with medicine to the hospital to deal with Eleanor, Eugene had seen her with tinted glasses. Yvonne suddenly found a vent for her anger and immediately said: "Eugene, Mia is your biological daughter, don’t you know her better? How can you not trust her?" "She didn’t grow up under my eyes, I only now see how crooked she’s become!" Eugene sneered, looking at Mia with disdain, "You used violence against Eleanor before, and now used Jude’s car and joined forces with Vincent Preston to harm Eleanor, all aiming to kill her! If she really wanted to harm you, she would have called the police and had you jailed instead of using such tactics! Huh? If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have known how vicious you’ve become toward Jude!" Yvonne’s eyes widened, finally realizing the horror. Eleanor’s series of moves seemed conceding but were actually advancing by retreating. The rıghtful source is 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 "Eugene, don’t forget how Melody Nash, Eleanor’s mother, betrayed you!" Yvonne reminded in time, "Only me and my children have stood by you from the start; we are your real family!" Eugene’s face of anger froze and then twisted into a darker rage. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger towards Mia, saying: "Mia Winslow, your reputation is ruined now. Stop thinking and acting recklessly, I will find you a marriage alliance as soon as possible, stay put for now!" Mia was devastated, stumbling and falling to the ground. Instinctively, she wanted to brace herself, but her left wrist to hand was numb, causing her to fall completely, in utter disgrace. Her hand was useless. Wendy Vance’s interviewing style was highly distinctive, concise and precise, with an exceptional level of professionalism. The interview went smoothly, ending half an hour earlier than scheduled. Eleanor went to the restroom and when she came out, she saw Wendy standing by the sink, quietly watching her. "Waiting for me?" Eleanor asked. Wendy nodded, not underestimating Eleanor’s youth. She bowed respectfully, "Mrs. Grant, thank you for giving me such a precious opportunity today!" "I didn’t do anything." Eleanor sidestepped, not accepting such formal gratitude. Wendy smiled, a smile mixed with a touch of bleakness and a bit of relief. "I’ve worked hard for years, earned double degrees in broadcasting and economics, all to become a financial host, but ended up facing Mia Winslow. Over the years, she not only took resources that should have been mine, but her standout interview drafts were also my work. Mrs. Grant, if it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have my day to shine; I’ll always remember your kindness!" "Opportunities go to those who are prepared; today is the result of your hard work. Miss Vance, I wish you a bright future and that all your wishes come true!" Eleanor didn’t know these details, only feeling that Mia’s reputation didn’t match her abilities and suspected she had ghostwriters stealing others’ efforts. "Why so long?" Adrian Grant was waiting for Eleanor outside the restroom. Eleanor didn’t answer, inexplicably giving him a look, thinking he was weird for waiting outside the ladies’ room. Wendy followed them out of the restroom, escorting Adrian and Eleanor out as a gesture of importance. Halfway through, Eleanor suddenly saw a familiar figure: "Vivian Quinn?" Wendy followed Eleanor’s gaze and saw a woman dressed all in Chanel and flat shoes, and without Eleanor asking, explained very accommodatingly: "Miss Quinn is here representing Hawthorne Corporation for a business talk." "She talks? She’s empty-headed, can she handle it?" Wendy grew to like Eleanor even more, saying with a smile, "Someone from Hawthorne Corporation had come earlier; everything was basically settled, she’s here to take credit." Just like Mia Winslow used to steal her achievements. Eleanor’s face turned cold at once. It seemed that Trevor Hawthorne really intended to let Vivian Quinn take a big role! Even after sitting in the car, Eleanor was still thinking about Trevor Hawthorne. "If you plan to see Blake Lockwood tomorrow, bring bodyguards." Adrian’s voice brought Eleanor’s mind back. She looked at him in surprise; he could already guess her plan? The chauffeur started the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Eleanor suddenly said voluntarily: "I’m the one who leaked the news about Mia being Eugene’s illegitimate daughter." Adrian raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised. Eleanor turned to him, her tone defensive and mocking: "What, you think I’m sinister?"
