A kiss

As Amelia approached Elena, she waved her hand in front of her nose, frowning at the overwhelming smell of alcohol. “Why did you drink so much? What kind of behavior is this?”

The tone in Amelia’s voice was the same one she used to use with Madelyn. The frustration that Elena had been bottling up suddenly surged within her, like a beast ready to break free from its chains.

Her eyes were red from the alcohol as she glared at Amelia with a

sharpness that cut through her drunken gaze.

Amelia was taken aback by the intensity of that look and lost her

composure. “Why are you staring at me like that? Let me remind you that I invested a lot in raising you, not so you could end up wasting your life like

this.”

“Wasting my life? Why am I wasting my life? Because the Garcia family is done for! You’re no longer Mrs. Garcia, and I’m no longer the eldest daughter of the Garcia family!” Elena shouted.

Amelia went silent. Her face paled when Elena lashed out suddenly. The Garcia family was bankrupt?

She had been in denial, refusing to accept the reality of their situation. She continued to keep in touch with her social circle. However, lately, all those women she used to be close with had started avoiding her and cutting phone calls short with flimsy excuses.

Now, Elena’s blunt words forced her to face the truth. The Garcia family was truly finished.

“What are you saying? Even if the Garcia family is bankrupt, I spent so much time and effort raising you. You still have plenty of opportunities ahead of you,” Amelia said.

“Do you think it’s easy to get into Unity Studios? Without bringing in any valuable projects, I’d have a hard time even getting a permanent position!” Elena retorted. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

With the Garcia family finished, if Elena could make a name for herself the studio, they wouldn’t be left with nothing. Who cared about a family business? Raising a successful child was the real source of pride.

The thought of regaining her lost status through Elena’s success made Amelia soften. Tm sorry. Elena. I was just worried when I saw you drinking so much. It pains me to see you like this. ”

Elena’s head pounded from the alcohol. Instead of calming her, Amelia’s words only made her angrier. “There will be more instances like this

“What do you mean by that?” Amelis asked.

I need to outshine her at work,” Elena säid.

At that moment, Elena realized just how vastly different her life was from Madelyns. Why did Madelyn get to have everything while she was left with nothing? What made Madelyn so special?

Amelia was confused “What does this have to do with Madelyn?”

“You don’t know? She works at the studio too. She already has Andrew, so why is she there? is she trying to take something else from me?

The thought of Madelyn stealing yet another opportunity from her filled

Elena with rage.

Amelia’s face grew paler as she processed the news that Madelyn was also at Unity Studios.

“What is she doing there?”

“She’s a designer. Didn’t you know?” Elena asked.

Amelia had truly been in the dark. However, now, it all made sense about why Madelyn had shown up today at Milton Building, where successful people often conducted business.
