Chapter 220
As Amelia approached Elena, she waved her hand in front of her nose, frowning at the overwhelming smell of alcohol. âWhy did you drink so much? What kind of behavior is this?â
The tone in Ameliaâs 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. âWhy 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.â
âWasting my life? Why am I wasting my life? Because the Garcia family is done for! Youâre no longer Mrs. Garcia, and Iâm no longer the eldest daughter of the Garcia family!â 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, Elenaâs blunt words forced her to face the truth. The Garcia family was truly finished.
âWhat 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,â Amelia said.
âDo you think itâs easy to get into Unity Studios? Without bringing in any valuable projects, Iâd have a hard time even getting a permanent position!â Elena retorted.

With the Garcia family finished, if Elena could make a name for herself the studio, they wouldnât 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 Elenaâs 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. â
Elenaâs head pounded from the alcohol. Instead of calming her, Ameliaâs words only made her angrier. âThere will be more instances like this
anywayâ
âWhat do you mean by that?â Amelis asked.

I need to outshine her at work,â 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 âWhat does this have to do with Madelyn?â
âYou donât 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.
Ameliaâs face grew paler as she processed the news that Madelyn was also at Unity Studios.
âWhat is she doing there?â
âSheâs a designer. Didnât you know?â 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.
