?Chapter 709:

    A loud, mockingugh burst from Trinity. “Look at you now—utterly abandoned by the Evans family! Who cares if you were a star student, won Cole’s affection, and even saved Barbara’s life? None of it matters anymore. You’re out, just like that!”

    Elliana listened in silence, her face impassive, which only seemed to fuel Trinity’s anger.

    Trinity had counted on her words to crush Elliana, to spark outrage or at least a reaction. Instead, Elliana’sposure remained untouched. “You really have …

    “Idea what’s going on, do you?” Trinity asked, her gaze hardening. “Let me ask again: Do you know who my sister is?”

    Already ahead of her, Elliana met the question with a smirk. “Funny, I was under the impression your parents only had one daughter. Unless there’s some secret love child out there. Did your father get involved with someone from the nightclubs?”

    That hit a nerve. “Watch your mouth!” Trinity retorted, herposure slipping. “Don’t drag my family’s name through the mud!”

    Elliana shrugged. “I’m only saying what most people would guess.”

    Trinity’s whole frame shook with frustration, her jaw clenched as she fought to rein in her temper. Eventually, she collected herself and shed a victorious grin. “Have you ever heard of the Sun Group? Their reach is worldwide. Do you know the Campbell family, the real force controlling the Sun Group?”

    Elliana answered with a casual shrug, “Never heard of them.”

    Trinity, eager to make her sister’s introduction a grand spectacle, was once again denied that moment by Elliana’s indifference.

    As Elliana’s wordsnded, Trinity could barely contain her outrage, hands trembling from sheer frustration. “Elliana, for someone internationally hailed as the renowned Rosa, you sure are ignorant for having never even heard of the Sun Group or the Campbell family. Honestly, what kind of sheltered life have you been living?”

    With an amused tilt of her head, Elliana offered a sly smile. “Sun Group, Campbell family… Should I be impressed by those names?”

    “They’re not just impressive—they’re untouchable! When the Campbell family acts, the whole world pays attention!” Trinity’s voice rose, anger contorting her features. “It was the Campbell family who drove your Rosa brand to bankruptcy. Don’t you dare look down on them!”

    “Well, they certainly sound intimidating,” Elliana yed along, her tone lightly touched with feigned awe.

    A hint of satisfaction crept into Trinity’s voice as she continued, “My sister? Wanda Campbell. She’s the Campbell family’s only daughter, and they treat her like a princess!”

    gα?ησν????s, where the best stories live

    Trinity finished her boast and fixed her gaze on Elliana, eager for a flicker of rm or dread to appear. She waited, but Elliana remained unruffled.

    Instead, Elliana just blinked in calcted confusion. “You’re a Craig, and she’s a Campbell. In what world does that make you sisters? If anything, you’re just acquaintances who get along.”

    Trinity hurried to exin, “Wanda really is my sister—by blood! She was adopted by the Campbell family and grew up in the Campbell household, that’s all.”

    A look of mock realization crossed Elliana’s face. “Oh, so she’s adopted. Here I was thinking she was born a true Campbell heiress!”

    “You!” The remark made Trinity’s jaw tighten in silent outrage.
