Elian really was a master manipulator, always playing this same game.

He’d put on that calm, dignified front, acting all proper and principled, but who knew how shady he was behind the scenes?

Thank god Gianna had Regina’s miracle healing meds. Otherwise, she would’ve been laid up for weeks.

The injury should’ve taken at least a month and a half to fully heal, but in just one week, she was already 70 to 80 percent recovered and cleared to go home.

Her recovery was so fast, the doctors who didn’t know the full story just chalked it up to her having an unusually strong constitution.

Emery, on the other hand, gave herself all the credit.

She firmly believed it was her daily effort, personally making Gianna bone broth from scratch, that had worked wonders.

According to her, not only had Gianna’s complexion improved, but even the tendons in her injured foot were regaining strength.

Gianna just nodded and smiled the whole time, playing along with her praises, but inside, she’d rolled her eyes a thousand times.

If her recovery had really depended on this idiot’s soup, she’d still be bedridden, drowning in broth with zero improvement.

Thank God Regina wasn’t as hopelessly naive as Emery. Emery was the definition of easy to manipulate, always acting clever and headstrong, when in reality she was just a gullible airhead.

Hah. What a joke.

If Regina hadn’t insisted she keep Emery around for future use, Gianna would’ve kicked her out of the Nygards a long time ago,

Her reputation in the entertainment industry had already tanked, and there was no bouncing back easily now.

So she had to act fast. Getting into Nygard Group was her next move.

She’d make sure everyone in the industry, especially those uppity socialites, saw that she was more than just a washed–up celebrity. She had other cards to play.

But landing a respectable, powerful position at Nygard Group wasn’t going to be that easy.

Gianna knew that perfectly well. The company was full of talented, cutthroat professionals. Even if she had connections, she’d still need real leverage, something that could shut the shareholders up.

And with the mess surrounding her public image, there was no doubt her entry into the company would be met with resistance.

Which meant one thing: she needed Regina to work her magic, specifically, a little pillow talk with Raymond.

“Mom, why hasn’t Dad brought me into Nygard Group yet? I can’t stick around the

entertainment industry right now. It’s too hot. But I also don’t want to sit around at home doing nothing.”

Gianna had come straight to Regina for a reason. She needed her to put pressure on Raymond.

She’d never been the type to sit back and play the sweet, useless rich girl. That wasn’t who she

was.

She was Gianna, and she wasn’t just going to be another pretty face. She was going to be a powerful, capable heiress with real influence.

Only then would people like Vincent and Diana finally understand just how much she was truly worth.

“You think I haven’t talked to your dad? But after what happened last time, the shareholders are even more fed up. Right now, there’s no way they’d let you in without a fight,” Regina sighed.

Just thinking about the last press conference gave Regina a headache. Gianna’s little stunt had backfired again, and it had only made things worse.

Regina had warned her it probably wouldn’t work. After all, Amelia was sharp and calculating. No way she’d fall for the same trick twice.

The signal jammer had already been used once on the yacht, and Amelia had been caught off guard that time. But the odds of her falling for it again? Slim to none.

Gianna, of course, refused to listen. She’d convinced herself the jammer was foolproof, like it gave her a free pass to pull whatever shady crap she wanted without it getting recorded.

She even had the nerve to promise Regina she wouldn’t act impulsively, that she’d let her know if she ever planned to do anything.

And yet here they were. She’d gone rogue again, cornered and desperate, and look where it got

her.

If she’d known it would turn out like this, she would’ve taken the jammer back herself. That way Gianna wouldn’t have had the chance to act out and get played at her own game.

Regina regretted it over and over. She had underestimated Amelia badly.

“So what now? You’re just going to leave me hanging? I wasn’t even that interested in joining Nygard Group at first. You all were the ones who kept pushing me to go to headquarters. Now, when I finally decide I want to go, you’re telling me you can’t make it happen?” Gianna snapped.

Of course, she’d never admit the truth that the entertainment industry had stalled for her and she had nowhere else to go.

Right now, Gianna was throwing a tantrum without restraint, a total contrast to the sweet, obedient image she showed at the Nygard Residence.

“Getting into Nygard Group will definitely happen, but we have to find a proper reason, something big enough to make it look legitimate, to bring you in with a splash, not as a favor,” Regina said firmly.

Regina absolutely wanted Gianna inside Nygard Group. That had always been the endgame.

But Gianna couldn’t go in looking like she’d been shoved through the door. She needed to walk in with her head high, welcomed with applause.

“So how do we do that?” Gianna asked immediately. She knew her mother always had a plan and looked at her expectantly.

“Don’t rush it. From what your dad told me, the shareholders are already trying to bring Amelia into Nygard Group. Some of them even want her to replace Marcelo,” Regina said.

“What? Amelia’s going to Nygard Group, and she wants to replace Marcelo? On what planet does she think she can do that?” Gianna’s voice went up an octave.

It wasn’t just the idea of Amelia replacing Marcelo. Just the fact that she was headed for Nygard Group at all made Gianna’s blood boil.

Why did that bitch have to compete with her for everything?

She’d stolen her brothers‘ attention, their parents‘ affection, tried to fight her in the

entertainment world, taken her fans, and stolen her spotlight. Now she wanted to take this from

her too?
