In an instant, the shallow friendship between these socialites and Aeolian shattered. They gathered around Maeve and began chattering away.

Maeve was engulfed by a sea of excitement from the girls. Their words of flattery nearly swept her away.

Acolian's expression soured as if she had swallowed a lemon. She had just mocked Maeve's designs as tacky. But the Socialites were rushing to book an appointment for dress customization with Maeve. Their excitement was like a slap in the se to Acolian.

Acolian's dark eyes were fixed on Maeve but she stayed silent. No one knew what Aeolian was scheming

The birthday bash began soon after.

The birthday gift Ella had prepared won Jean's favor and stole the spotlight, even earning her praise from Harry. "This is very thoughtful of you, Ella. Come to the company and lend me a hand from next week onwards," Harry said. His words caused a stir. The other members of the Morris family started to lose their calm.

Even though Ella was the eldest daughter, the Morris family had a tradition that the family business would only be passed on to sons. This meant that no matter how much she was favored, she would not get a chance to take over the business. Therefore, her cousins, who had the right to inherit the family businesses, did not take Ella seriously at first.

But Harry's words made it clear that he was prepared to break this tradition. This meant their positions in the family business would be threatened.

Their faces turned pale as they eyed Ella with caution. Ella always seemed nonchalant about the family business but it turned out that she was the most ambitious of them all.

Ella had not expected that the birthday gift she had prepared with genuine intentions for Jean would lead to such a pleasant surprise.

Her cousins were always mocking her, that her status as the eldest daughter meant her duty would be nothing more than just forming a marriage alliance.

Now that Harry was willing to give her an opportunity, Ella was determined to show her worth.

If it were not for Maeve, this opportunity would not have been possible. For a brief moment, Ella's gratitude for her was almost immeasurable.
