Chapter 555

Jenny Elkins, the apple of Paul Elkins' eye and a lively presence in America's elite social scene, was at the center of a swirling rumor mill. Whispers were circulating that Paul was keen to forge a stronger bond with Mr. Everett, hinting at a possible marriage alliance. The rumor mill was in overdrive at Bennett Corporation, buzzing with the news that Mr. Everett planned to announce his remarriage at the upcoming dinner, with none other than Jenny as his bride-to-be. It was the kind of juicy gossip that hadn't hit the high society circuit in ages. The paparazzi were over the moon, spreading the sensational news like wildfire to grab every bit of attention.

By the next day, Everett and Jenny's story was dominating the headlines, each one hotter than the last.

When Yasmine saw the headlines, it felt like her world turned upside down. Her dreams of becoming a socialite hadn't even had a chance to take off before they were crushed. She couldn't take her eyes off Jenny's picture in the paper-her effortless beauty and prestigious family background made it clear why Joy had mocked her delusions the day before.

It was obvious that Mr. Everett wouldn't choose her, no matter what. Yet, he had let her into his world, given her a taste of the luxury and attention she thought were out of reach. How could she just go back to a mundane and modest life? She had saved him by donating blood during a critical moment, believing it meant he owed her his hand in marriage.

If Selena, whose only edge was her looks, could marry Mr. Everett, why couldn't she? Especially when she had been acting the part of the future Mrs. Bennett at the company. If she didn't secure her place now, how could she continue working there?

As these thoughts consumed her, Yasmine's gaze grew dark.

Meanwhile, Jenny was just waking up when she got a call from someone claiming to be Everett's secretary. The secretary, on Mr. Everett's orders, was there to take care of her needs.

"Well, that's thoughtful," Jenny mused, raising an eyebrow. Without dwelling on it, she replied, "Alright, I need to get all dolled up for tomorrow. You handle the makeup, the dress, everything." With a slight smile, Yasmine replied, "Of course, Ms. Jenny."
