Chapter 690 Not all efforts pay off in this world. For most people, all the hustle was just spinning their wheels.

They said life was a mix of fate, fortune, and the hand they were dealt. They could plan their moves, but it was the fate that had the final say.

Those dealt a poor hand and down on their luck, no matter how hard they pushed, they just went around in circles within their class.

Only a rare few, both hardworking and lucky, manage to break free from their shackles and climb the social ladder.

Sierra heaved a sorrowful sigh. She too was born into wealth and happiness.

Had it not been for that plane crash, she'd still be basking in her parents” adoration and affection.

Life was as unpredictable as a game of poker.

After enjoying some afternoon tea, everyone headed down to the lake for some rowing.

Aurelia, Yuna, Skyler, and William shared a boat. Yuna took the oars.

In a casual tone, Aurelia said, "Skyler, remember asking Tanya this morning if Geoffrey'd been to Elysium? You know what she told me?" Skyler's eyes widened with curiosity, "What did she say?" Aurelia's voice dropped to a whisper, "She said Geoffrey is just an imaginary brother you made up. That he doesn't even exist." Puffing up his cheeks, Skyler retorted, "I knew she would say that. She's just like my mom and dad. They only believe her, not me. They think | have an overactive imagination. Don't you believe me, Angel?" Aurelia shook her head, replying, “Of course, | believe you, Skyler. I'ma hundred percent on your side. I just find it odd that Tanya would deny Geoffrey's existence." "Because Geoffrey gets up to no good, and Auntie worries the cops might nab him,” Skyler explained earnestly.

Aurelia was in her thoughts. She had to admit Tanya was a shrewd woman.

She had one son in the spotlight, the other hidden in the shadows.

With Skyler's naive mind, the Heninger family found it hard to take his words seriously. They'd never suspect Tanya of wrongdoing, especially not toward her own child.

"Why doesn't Tanya stop him from doing such things?" Skyler pursed his lips, "She doesn't see it as wrong. She even praises Geoffrey, saying he's smarter and more capable than me-" William patted his shoulder, "No way Geoffrey's cooler than you. You're the coolest.” Skyler scratched his head and grinned. With Aurelia and William believing in him, he felt at ease.

On another boat, Tanya was observing the scene.

She didn't want Skyler to get too close to Aurelia, fearing he might be influenced.

She hadn't anticipated, when sending Skyler to Elysium, that Aurelia would become such an influential figure in his life, evolving into his beacon of hope and salvation.

Sierra and Megan shared Tanya's boat.

Megan's gaze was fixed on Leopold and Lana's boat. She wanted to join them, but Leopold refused, taking only Lana, and even leaving Aurelia behind.

Lana's smug smile, as if carved in stone, was a clear provocation, nearly driving Megan mad with anger.

Tanya caught every bit of her frustration, "Acting like this will only make Leopold despise you more, pushing him away." Megan didn't see it that way, “If | turn a blind eye and let these vixens wrap around him, won't my position be even more threatened?" “Think about how Jessica did things. If you can win her over, who could shake your status then?" Tanya whispered.

Mentioning Jessica lit a fire in Megan, "Jessica is all for Aurelia, and she's the one shutting me out. She used to like me, and it's definitely Aurelia bad-mouthing me, making her misunderstand me"
