?Chapter 715:

    Eva had never had children of her own. Although Wanda wasn’t rted to her by blood, she cherished Wanda deeply, pouring all her hopes into Wanda’s future. Wanda understood this perfectly and always knew how to charm Eva with just the right words.

    Wanda began weaving her tale effortlessly. “Mom, the Craig family introduced me to this friend, and the project is in partnership with Ublento Medical University. It’s trustworthy, I promise. While I’m not your biological daughter, and my standing in the Campbell family isn’t like the other girls, which I know brings you regret, I want to achieve something big, something that will make you proud and win real respect in the family. Then, maybe Dad will see you differently, too.”

    Eva never grew tired of hearing these promises—those words always went straight to her heart.

    People on the outside had no idea just howplicated the dynamics inside the Campbell family could be, but Wanda understood every detail after growing up there.

    The rtionship between Arthur and Eva was far from happy. Eva loved Arthur obsessively, but Arthur felt nothing for her. His marriage to Eva happened only because the family elders had insisted on it. Even after the wedding, Arthur had always kept his distance. He’d never shared a room with Eva, so she had no chance of having children with him. How could there be a family when Arthur refused to be close to her?

    Throughout her life, Eva had done everything she could to win Arthur’s affection, always wishing he might care for her one day. Wanda knew all of this, and every word she spoke went straight to Eva’s heart.

    Hearing Wanda’s promise, Eva broke into a delightedugh. “Wanda, it makes me happy to see you so driven and thoughtful. If you want to build a business, I’ll support you all the way. I’ll transfer the two billion dors to you right away.”

    A sweet and triumphant tone colored Wanda’s voice. “Thank you, Mom!”

    Minutes after the call ended, a message popped up. The two billion dors hadnded in Wanda’s ount.

    Arthur might never have given Eva his love, but she still had the title of his wife, and the Campbell family made sure she wanted for nothing. On top of that, Eva owned shares in the Evans Group, so her wealth was secure.

    Wanda spotted the extra two billion sitting pretty in her ount and let a smug smile spread across her face. In her mind, being Eva’s one and only daughter gave her every right to spend that money freely, and not once did she feel the slightest bit guilty for lying.

    Just then, Trinity approached, having finished her own call. “Wanda, one billion has already been wired to you, but Mom and Dad want you to know our wealth isn’t what it used to be. Business is tough and money is tight.”

    Every chapter lives on g a lno vels ;m

    A wave of impatience crossed Wanda’s face. “I already know! Once I handle Elliana and marry Cole, I’ll be the Evans family’s future matriarch. The Craig family will benefit beyond measure—one billion will seem like pocket changepared to what’sing!”

    Trinity said nothing, biting her lip. Still, she couldn’t hide a pang of envy mounting inside. Marrying Cole to be thedy of the Evans household, bringing numerous benefits to the Craig family, and bing its great benefactor—this had once been her dream. Now, Wanda had taken her ce, and she felt like a bystander in her own story.

    Curiosity edged into Trinity’s voice. “Wanda, I still don’t get why you agreed to that ugly Elliana’s request. With all the Campbell family’s power, you could get rid of Elliana in an instant. Why pay her five billion?”
