Chapter 541:
A playful laugh escaped Elliana as she flicked his forehead. “And since when did that concern you?”
On the sidelines, Lance risked a glance at Cole. A chill swept through him—Cole looked ready to erupt. Did Cole really have to glare at the world like that?
Drama swept into the ballroom as Trinity made her entrance, instantly seizing everyone’s attention. She was dressed to the nines. In a lavish custom gown and adorned with an array of glittering jewels, she carried herself with the poise and grandeur of a true princess. No one could miss Trinity’s eagerness to show off her supposed future as Milena’s prized protégé. She’d surrounded herself with the city’s socialites, who now trailed after her, eager to lavish compliments.
Elliana took in the scene unfolding before her, the corners of her mouth curling into a meaningful smile. Trinity had turned this banquet into a full-blown spectacle, every detail screaming for attention. The thought of Trinity’s precious “Milena” being unmasked as a fraud painted a clear picture—Trinity’s pride would crumble, and the humiliation would be impossible to hide.
Trinity glided across the marble floor, her gown swishing with dramatic flair as she approached. “Elliana, what a pleasure to see you here tonight. I know you’re passionate about medicine as well, so let me introduce you to Dr. Atkinson later.”
Gossip churned through the crowd, whispers growing into a wave. “Isn’t Trinity amazing? Even after Elliana embarrassed her at the Craig family’s engagement party, she’s willing to make introductions. That’s real generosity.”
“Let’s be honest—being picked by Dr. Atkinson proves Trinity’s the real star. Test scores aren’t everything, Elliana.” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
“Who cares how well Elliana does on the SATs? Medicine isn’t just about books—she’s not cut out for the real thing!”
Clustered around Trinity, the city’s elite cast sneering glances at Elliana.

Basking in the glow of their praise, Trinity looked down her nose with an unmistakable smirk.
No longer shielded by her title as Cole’s wife, Elliana stood as living proof that people loved to kick you when you were down and scramble to praise the powerful.
The Craig family, in particular, shot daggers at Elliana, clearly savoring their chance at payback now that her ties to the Evans family had been cut.
Unmoved by their scorn, Elliana answered every glare with a cool, serene smile, completely unfazed by the chatter.
Suddenly, the doors swung wide and a booming voice rang out. “Dr. Atkinson has arrived!”
All at once, the entire hall turned in unison, excitement buzzing through the air.
Elliana spun along with the crowd, her heart hammering in her chest. At last, she would come face-to-face with the impostor brazen enough to parade as Milena in Ublento. Her eyes narrowed, ready to witness the next act of this elaborate deception.
