Chapter 30 Yelena's Cracks This ... how could she possibly accept it ? 40% Finished " Find a way to get my stream's numbers up . And why the hell is Rosie's so high ? Did the producers do something , or did Christopher buy her traffic ? " Yelena was squatting in the bathroom , whispering furiously to her manager , Susie . " I've already looked into it , " Susie replied calmly . " Rosalie and the production team haven't bought anything . All her heat is from viewers pushing it up themselves . But her livestream chat is clearly being managed- any extreme comments or insults get instantly banned . Strangely though , her Facebook hasn't been touched . I think Mr. Xavian's intervention is just to protect the kids ... " " You're sure ? " Yelena asked , doubtful . " Check her Facebook comments yourself , " Susie said . " And - I just spoke with Jingran . He says he's planning to meet with Rosalie soon . " " What ? Really ? " Yelena shot up , eyes suddenly alight . " Have I ever lied to you ? " Susie chuckled . " Once they settle the date , I'll know ahead of time . Then we'll have room to maneuver . Let her enjoy herself for a few days . The higher she climbs , the harder the fall ." " I don't want her to suffer some epic downfall , " Yelena said , biting her lip . " I just can't stand watching her chained up in that marriage . I want to help her break free . " The truth was , Yelena had never really seen Rosalie as a threat . What she truly feared was Christopher . She remembered the day she found out Rosalie was carrying his child - shock , fear , and a sharp pang of envy all at once . Shock , that Rosalie had actually gotten pregnant with Christopher's baby . Fear , because she knew how desperately she herself had schemed to get close to him , to marry into the Xavian family . And envy , because Christopher never touched women . She had exhausted every trick , even bribing a hotel waiter to spike his drink . And yet - Rosalie had been the one to reap the fruit . That night , seething , Yelena had thrown herself into Tristan's bed just to spite her . But her rage deepened when she realized Rosalie might use the child to secure her place as the Xavian family's young madam . So when she discovered Rosalie planned to terminate the pregnancy , Yelena had been giddy with joy , ready to drive her to the clinic herself . Her mother stopped her . Worse - her mother told her father . Rosalie was locked away like a prisoner until she gave birth , denied any chance to escape . 1/3 12:10 Thu , Sep 18 G Chapter 30 Yelena's Cracks 林 家 48 % Finished Then came the bitter twist : her mother promised that she , Yelena , would step in - take Rosalie's place , marry into the Xavian family , and " care for " Rosalie's bastard . She hadn't been thrilled ... but how could she resist the title of Mrs. Xavian ? And then Christopher's answer landed like a blade : either Rosalie and the children stayed together under his protection , or he would have none of them . Over two brats ? He could have had any woman bear him heirs if he wanted . The fury that night nearly drove her to kill Rosalie and those children . But she didn't dare . Christopher had placed eyes in the hospital the moment he learned of the babies . The entire Leigh family had paid for it , facing his retaliation again and again . Their business had nearly collapsed . Rosalie herself had been unwilling to marry Christopher , resisting him even under pressure . And after being forced into the family , she'd made his life anything but peaceful . For that , Yelena had thought she'd won . She'd married Tristan out of spite , then drawn Jingran into her web , using him to tempt Rosalie , to throw the Xavian household into chaos . And for a while , everything had gone exactly as she envisioned : Rosalie spiraled , screaming at her children , beating them , playing right into her narrative . Even joining Mama vs. Mayhem was part of the show - proof to Christopher that she , Yelena , was the better choice , that his rejection of her had been sheer stupidity . But now ... now everything was unraveling . Rosalie's numbers soared , her reputation shifted , and Yelena felt her control slipping through her fingers . Her grip tightened on the phone . She barely heard Susie's parting words . A sharp knock jolted her back . She opened the door to find her son pouting , glaring up at her . " Mom , were you just playing on your phone in the bathroom ? Why were you in there so long ? You're always fast . And when are you making food ? Me and Grandpa and Grandma are starving . " Yelena's eyes darkened before she smoothed her expression . She bent down with a tender smile . " Sorry , sweetheart , my tummy hurt today , so I stayed in there a bit longer . I didn't mean to make my baby hungry . It's my fault . I'll cook right now , okay ? " She'd even sent the household staff away to polish her perfect - wife image ... But it had backfired . Now she had to cook not just for her son , but also for Timothy and his wife . The thought of spending millions only to end up playing maid soured her face .
