Chapter 1539 

Everyone listened to Yvonne’s speech, feeling something off about it, though they couldn’t quite say what. 

Still, she was a successful woman, someone far above their level. Compared to her, they were nothing but ordinary people, grains of sand on a beach, unnoticed and easily washed away. 

None of them believed a word she said. 

Some people were just born with every advantage, while others were born to do the hard work that kept the world turning. 

That saying couldn’t be more accurate. Those born with silver spoons in their mouths would never understand how the lower class truly lived. 

They couldn’t put themselves in others’ shoes. Empathy was a luxury most of them didn’t possess. 

There was an old saying: If you haven’t suffered someone else’s pain, don’t preach about kindness. 

It fit Yvonne perfectly. She had never endured real hardship. 

She only knew the comfort of her own life. 

Born into privilege and connected to people like Lucas and Edwin, she had no concept of struggle. With Edwin’s quiet support and her ties to Lucas, her career had been nothing short of effortless. 

While others faced obstacles, her path had always been smooth. 

Aurora and Yvonne were two completely different stories. From childhood, Aurora’s mother had always played 

favorites. 

Though Tessa’s weak health had led Grace to groom Aurora as the family successor, Aurora had been mature enough to understand the truth. 

She only got that role because Tessa wasn’t well enough to take it. 

Otherwise, she never would’ve even had the chance to compete. 

Aurora had known about Grace’s favoritism from the very beginning, but the more time she spent with her, the clearer it became-it wasn’t just bias; it was something ingrained in her bones. 

She couldn’t understand it. If Grace truly loved Tessa that much, then why have another child at all? 

Wasn’t bringing a second child into the world just another form of cruelty? 

Or perhaps no one ever cared how she felt. 

In the past, Aurora had looked back on her childhood as if watching a distant film. Back then, with her father’s love, she had thought herself one of the lucky ones. 

But after he passed, Grace’s strictness grew unbearable-cold, harsh, and unrelenting. 

Aurora had complained about it more than once.

She never understood why, as Grace’s daughter just like Tessa, she had to learn how to run a company, why she wasn’t allowed to pursue her own interests or do anything she actually enjoyed, 

She had always loved architecture and wanted to study design, but Grace forced her into business management. 

Meanwhile, Tessa was free to do whatever she pleased. Aurora was the only one denied that freedom. 

The thought darkened her gaze. 

She knew too well what it felt like to live without love. 

Before she could dwell on it further, Yvonne suddenly spoke up and mentioned her name. 

“There’s quite a bit of talent hidden among us,” Yvonne said with a smile. “If I remember correctly, Aurora runs her own studio, doesn’t she? That’s impressive.”
