Chapter 708
Chapter 708:
Remaining motionless, Elliana maintained her disguise—messy hair, tattooed face, unremarkable clothing. She sat calmly on the sofa, perfectly still, as befitted her reputation as Rosa, the master of the house.
As the atmosphere thickened, Elliana’s figure looked all the more slender compared to the broad-shouldered men in black.
Upon arrival, the black-clad men wasted no time, arranging themselves in two lines to form a passage down the center of the room.
Trinity arrived in the next breath, strolling confidently forward with the eyes of the room following her every move.
Just a few weeks back, Trinity had been the subject of society’s laughter after taking a fraud as her mentor. Now, the humiliation was gone—she strode in, radiating renewed confidence and swagger.
Trinity had always enjoyed being under the spotlights, though she used to wear a gentle mask for the Evans family’s benefit. But with the Campbell family standing behind her now, she discarded all pretense, letting arrogance define her every step.
Elliana’s gaze followed Trinity’s approach, her eyes detached and almost amused, as though she were watching an act meant to entertain.
In Elliana’s eyes, those like Trinity only knew how to wield power for cruelty and grovel for mercy when the tables turned. Such people were always playing the fool.
But not once did Trinity flinch under Elliana’s stare. Arrogance swelled within her, for she finally felt invincible. With the Campbell family recently settled in Ublento and her sister being the Campbell family’s heiress, she felt a new kind of strength—one that could not be threatened.
Past insults at Elliana’s hand burned in Trinity’s memory, fueling her desire for payback. This was the day she intended to reclaim her dignity, no matter the cost.
Towering over Elliana with a smug grin, Trinity scolded, “Elliana, I arrive and you don’t bother to greet me? You just lounge there as if you own the place. Have you really not caught on to who’s running Ublento’s elite circles these days?”
Elliana responded calmly, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
Trinity expected her words to strike a nerve, but Elliana’s cool detachment left her momentarily speechless. “You honestly still believe Cole has feelings for you? He’s put you behind him—my sister is all he cares about now!”
A moment later, she asked, “Are you even aware who my sister is?” For more chapters visit

Elliana saw right through the attempt at bravado and met it with a shrug. “I couldn’t care less about your sister’s name. What really fascinates me is this: weren’t you the one pining after Cole all these years? And now, after everything, he’s about to become your brother-in-law. Tell me, does that not eat at you?”
“You!” Trinity’s face clouded with frustration. Her plan to shake Elliana’s confidence had backfired almost instantly. In just a handful of words, Elliana had already put her on edge. It was true—jealousy and disappointment gnawed at her. That wound would never truly heal, knowing Cole would never be hers.
With a huff, Trinity drew herself up and snapped, “So what? Even if I can’t have Cole, he’s still marrying into my family. The Craigs and Evans will always be tied together by marriage, and you—Elliana—you’ve been shut out by the Evans family for good!”
Chin lifted in triumph, Trinity aimed to make Elliana’s loss sting. “Did you hear, Elliana? Ruben has already made it clear—everyone in the Evans family is forbidden from having anything to do with you now.”
