?Chapter 717:

    Once back at the house, Wanda returned to business without missing a beat. “I’ll wire five billion right now,” she said bluntly to Elliana. “But how do I know you’ll vanish from Ublento tonight as promised?”

    Elliana smiled withposed grace. “Rx, Miss Campbell. Who in their right mind would choose death over a fortune? Fifty billion and a peaceful life abroad sound far better than waiting around to be killed by your family.”

    Wanda let out a derisive snort. “At least you’re smart enough to make a wise decision.”

    Without another word, Wanda signed the fifty-billion check with swift precision and handed it to Elliana.

    Elliana took it, eyes scanning the amount before she offered Wanda a cool smile. “Miss Campbell, I admire your efficiency. I’ll start packing right away. By tomorrow morning, Elliana Marsh will be nothing but a memory in Ublento.”

    Wanda’s lips curved into a tight smirk. “Good. You’d better follow through. If I catch even a whisper of your presence in Ublento by five tomorrow morning, don’t me me for what happens next. The Campbell family has countless ways of making people disappear—painfully and permanently.”

    Elliana simply nodded, still smiling.

    With a final, narrowed nce, Wanda turned and strode off. Trinity and the bodyguards trailed behind her, and soon, Regal Grove sank back into stillness. Both sides walked away feeling victorious. Wanda was convinced she’d effectively forced Elliana into exile—an exit sweetened with money and sharpened with veiled threats. Once Elliana was eliminated abroad, nothing would stand in the way of her engagement.

    But Elliana had already unraveled Wanda’s n. Unshaken, she had her own moves to make. She’d intended all along to let the identity of Elliana Marsh vanish from Ublento, evading the Campbell family’s reach. She would return to Ublento under a new name to tie up unfinished business at Ublento Medical University. The five billion Wanda had offered? That was just a pleasant surprise—an unexpected reward for ying her part so convincingly.

    As the doors closed behind Wanda, Adah plopped down beside Elliana, grinning and shing a thumbs-up. “Elliana, your ability to make money never ceases to amaze me. One tense standoff and boom—five billion richer!”

    The Four Guardians swarmed in with enthusiasm. “Elliana, you’re incredible! Who else could turn a death threat into a payday?”

    Elliana chuckled, her expression calm and calcting. This windfall was just a bonus. The real n was still in motion.

    She stood, eyes gleaming with resolve. “Alright, time for the next phase.”

    The first phase of Elliana’s n began with a clean te—dismissing all the staff and security at Regal Grove.

    The Four Guardians wasted no time. Within the hour, they packed their things and gathered to bid Elliana farewell. “We’ll be waiting for you at Rosewood Vi!”

    Rosewood Vi was the safehouse prepared for Elliana’s new identity—a temporary haven while the final steps of her transformation took shape. ording to intel from the Thorn Rose organization, Arthur had recently acquired Harmony Estate, a staggering property nestled high in Ublento’s mountains.

    It was the pinnacle of luxury—perched on privatend, facing the sea, and surrounded by sweeping views that seemed to belong in a dream rather than reality. It was a ce ordinary people might nevery eyes on, let alone live in. Even among Ublento’s elite, few could im such opulence.
