"Sis, what are you doing here?” gulped a flustered Yuliana. Elaine had taken her by surprise.
Snorting at pathetic Yuliana, she took a seat on the sofa.
"Knowing you, if I hadn't come over, you probably would've burned this house down."
Hearing this, Yuliana burst into tears. She collapsed into Elaine's lap and wept.
"Sis, what am I supposed to do? The Fuller Group has terminated my contract, and Shane has abandoned me!"
"It's alright, you'll get through this. It's not the end of the world," consoled Elaine as she patted Yuliana's head. This was one of the rare occasions where she did not berate Yuliana for her stupidity.
Yuliana looked up at Elaine in confusion.
The termination of the contract with the Fuller Group meant that all her chances to work on advertisements and endorsements would be dashed.
Wouldn't this spell her doom?
"It's all my fault. Why did I ever drug him? I might as well have burned all my bridges with him," wailed Yuliana.
Suddenly, her mood transformed and she spat furiously, "It's all that b*tch's fault. If Charlotte Emerson hadn’t been stirring up trouble, our relationship would have borne fruit already. This would never have happened at all!"
"Oh, my precious little sister, the only thing the Fuller Group did was end your contract. They aren't going to rob you of your title as the Fullers' daughter-in-law."
Elaine's lips curled into a sinister smile. However, Yuliana seemed to not catch her drift.
She began to explain to Yuliana.
"From what I’ve heard, Raina has begun her investigation into Charlotte. So long as you keep Raina under your wraps, we still have a chance at turning things around."
Yuliana quickly wiped her tears away and nodded. Remembering Raina' s reaction earlier that day, she said, "Sister, it's as you anticipated! She absolutely hated a mistress in a relationship."
"Haha!" cackled Elaine, putting an end to the conversation.
She stood up and got ready to leave. Before parting ways, she reminded Yuliana, "Don't waste your time on Shane, focus your attention on Raina."
Once more, Yuliana nodded and bade Elaine farewell.
But in a twinkling of an eye, a burning rage came over Yuliana, and she began scheming a plan.
