Chapter 412
Bianca Savigny had been gushing over Evelyn Roland for a full hour, her enthusiastic praise making Evelyn's ears ring.
Her phone suddenly buzzed violently.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Messages flooded in one after another.
Alexander Roland. Julian Roland. Edward Roland. Sophia Roland. Sebastian Valdemar. Olivia Valdemar...
A cascade of bank transfer notifications.
Each one came with a note: "You must accept this."
Evelyn's lips curved into an involuntary smile.
Their unanimous concern warmed her heart.
Meanwhile, the financial world of City A was in an uproar.
The moment the Fortune Ranking was announced, the entire business sector reeled.
Château Blanc and CH Jewelry Inc. saw their stock prices skyrocket, with related discussions breaking a million mentions.
"Evelyn Roland!"
Vincent Valdemar stared at his computer screen, grinding his teeth.
What chilled him more was the crisis befalling every company that had insulted Evelyn at Mount Pilatus.
Vanity Jewelry had vanished without a trace.
The shareholders of another conglomerate were dumping their stocks.
Behind it all, Sebastian Valdemar and the Roland Group's influence was unmistakable.
A cold sweat broke on Vincent's forehead.
He had to act fast.
The ripple effects of the Fortune Ranking spread even further.
Countless elite families began plotting marriage alliances.
"If only we could marry Evelyn Roland..."
"Where else would you find a daughter-in-law like her?"
The next morning, both the Roland Estate and Château Blanc were simultaneously besieged.
A line of luxury cars stretched a kilometer from the estate gates.
The entrance to the winery was completely blocked.
"We're here as customers!"
"Let us see Miss Roland!"
The head of security stood stone-faced at the winery entrance. "No invitation, no entry."
A few slick-haired heirs stamped their feet in frustration. "Do you know who my father is?"
But such tactics held no weight on Roland territory.
Both locations remained impenetrable. Not a single intruder caught even a glimpse of Evelyn.
