The camera opened on Leafie, who waved cheerfully to her audience. “Hey everyone, it’s your girl Leafie! No fancy setup today-just something truly special. I have a real stunner to introduce to you all!”

She gestured dramatically off-camera. “Alright, let’s swing over and meet our gorgeous star-the one and only Sweetheart Queen!” The lens instantly shifted to frame Tiffany.

She offered her signature, perfectly practiced smile, then gave a graceful wave. “Hello everyone, I’m Tiffany Lawrence-though many of you know me as the Sweetheart Queen.”

The live chat erupted. The screen scrolled uncontrollably with waves of: [Aaaaaah!]

[She’s an absolute goddess! Unreal!]

[Tiffany’s just perfection-so elegant and poised. A literal storybook princess!]

[Beautiful and talented? The complete package! I’m a fan for life!]

The feed overflowed with adoration, a relentless cascade of praise-the audience utterly captivated, completely engrossed in worshipping Tiffany’s every feature.

Meanwhile, the fans who had gathered outside, thinking their presence would grant them a live view of the competition, found themselves stranded. Only verified media had been admitted; everyone else was barred from even approaching the entrance.

They milled about in growing frustration, desperately scheming for a way to get inside.

Just then, a voice cut through the noise. “Hey, Leafie’s streaming live right now! She’s featuring our Tiffany- everyone, get in the live room!”

The crowd immediately pulled out their phones, pouring into the stream en masse.

By then, the viewer count had already skyrocketed into the tens of thousands.

On screen, the superstar streamer Leafie stood side-by-side with Tiffany, both sporting flawless, idol-level makeup in matching styles-so coordinated they kind of looked alike.

The chat, already energetic, now exploded with admiration for both of them.

[Leafie and the Sweetheart Queen together-they look like siblings! Both impossibly gorgeous!]

[OMG, Sweetheart Queen, you could easily succeed on your looks alone-how are you this talented too?]

[For real! It’s almost sad how hard some unattractive girl is trying to claw at a title she can’t earn on her own merit.]

As the chat scrolled with fervent hype, the group of fans who had just seen Alicia in person shifted uncomfortably.

The guy who’d asked for her number earlier was utterly speechless. All he wanted was to shake these oblivious stans through the screen and tell them. “You have no idea. Alicia is the real visual queen-she could dominate on looks alone if she wanted. She’s just genuinely low-key, not the type to flood your feed with selfies”

But with the stream exploding in real-time, he didn’t dare type a word. He simply watched quietly, hoping the camera might somehow capture that goddess-tier face one more time.

Just then, the doors to the Crystal Room swung open from the outside.

A voice called out, “It’s Alicia!”

Every head in the room turned toward the entrance.

Leafie immediately signaled to her cameraman, “Quick-get the door!”

Viewers in the live stream fixed their eyes on the screen, while the fans who had seen Alicia outside fought the urge to close the app.

‘Once Alicia appears on camera, what’s going to happen to our Tiffany? They struggled internally, hearts twisted with secondhand anxiety.

But Tiffany remained their idol. Even if she wasn’t quite as striking as Alicia, she had her own appeal-her talent, her grace, her polished presence. They loved her for more than just a pretty face.

They were here to stand by their Sweetheart Queen. Awkward or not, they weren’t going anywhere. They stayed in the stream, silently rallying.

For a moment, both the chat and the Crystal Room fell completely still-as if someone had hit pause on the entire scene.

Then a woman appeared in the doorway.

She wore a simple black business suit, looking entirely ordinary.

The chat instantly blew up with snarky comments. “Wait, that’s Alicia? Seriously?”

“Look at her outfit-did she just come from her shift at a chain store?”

Quiet snickers rippled through the reporters in the Crystal Room.

The woman offered a courteous smile and gestured toward the entrance. “Miss Lawrence, we’ve arrived at the Crystal Room. Please, do come in. Following the event, Mr. Yates has arranged a lunch for you in VIP Room 1.”

“Thank you,” Alicia replied softly, stepping past her into the room.

She wore casual athleisure wear and flat shoes, her hair pulled up in a high ponytail that gave her a youthful, energetic appearance,

When Edward spotted her, he chuckled quietly but remained seated. He had no intention of drawing unnecessary attention to her-too much familiarity would only spark speculation about favoritism.

Chapter 140

He simply renamed to his seat and sat down

His children glanced at Alicia’s casual attire and immediately dismissed her. Compared to their warm reception of Tiffany, they didn’t even consider approaching Alicia.

With the crowd milling about, Alicia didn’t seem to notice them.

She simply flashed a brief smile toward Edward before making her way directly toward Tiffany and Leafie.

She came to a stop directly in front of them.

The camera smoothly adjusted to frame all three women in a single shot.

Tiffany and Leafie were both impeccably styled, their makeup flawless. But standing beside Alicia’s fresh- faced, natural beauty, their carefully crafted appearances suddenly seemed overdone.

Tiffany’s hands tightened at her sides, a sharp twist of disbelief tightening in her chest. ‘How did Alicia manage to look even more radiant than the day before yesterday?” There she stood-tall and slender, with that graceful neck and an air of effortless elegance that seemed to command the room.

Though Tiffany was dressed in head-to-toe designer labels and professionally applied makeup, she suddenly felt utterly outclassed. Her posture lacked Alicia’s natural grace, her neck didn’t carry that same elegant line, her waist seemed less defined, and as for her legs? There was simply no comparison.

A fresh wave of hatred burned through her. Twelve years-Alicia stole twelve years that should have been mine. If she hadn’t been taken, if she’d been raised with the Lawrences’ resources and care, she would have had that same effortless grace. But the years of hardship and manual labor had taken their toll-evident in her posture, her shorter stature and legs, and the missed opportunities that could never be reclaimed. All of it was Alicia’s fault.

And now, here Alicia was, wearing simple athletic wear and no makeup, as if to prove she didn’t need any of it. It felt like a deliberate insult, a public demonstration that even at her most dressed up, Tiffany could never measure up to Alicia’s natural advantage.

“She’s doing this just to humiliate me, Tiffany thought bitterly,

Her carefully crafted image as the elegant, beautiful artist was crumbling into something almost pitiful.

She gritted her teeth, her gaze sharpening into a glare of pure resentment.

Yet Alicia only met her with a warm, open smile. “You’re here early, sis.”

For all her cunning, Tiffany was still only twenty, and the storm of envy and fury in her eyes was unmistakable. In that moment, she looked less like a polished socialite and more like someone fighting the urge to tear Alicia apart.

The camera captured it all-every flicker of emotion, every unspoken tension.
