Chapter 201: Chapter 201

If it were before, if someone wanted it, she’d just give it away as a favor, but now that she knows how effective these skincare products are, she can’t bear to part with them.

"Then talk to your daughter, ask her to make more, and consider us aunties more..."

Yvette saw everyone saying this and remembered how Paige had mentioned starting a skincare company before. She had doubted Paige and thought Jared was indulging Paige’s antics once again.

Maybe Paige’s idea was indeed the right one.

Since that’s the case, she should help Paige spread the word.

So Yvette said, "It’s , she’s planning to start a skincare company with a few friends, and you can buy it when the time comes if you want."

"Wow, she really started a company? I’ve been waiting for this day!"

Because of Paige, even some ladies who didn’t get along well with Yvette before were now incredibly envious of her.

As a second-marriage woman, and an average-looking one at that, being able to marry into a wealthy family, gain her husband’s respect and protection, and even have her stepdaughter care about her, what good luck she has.

All women, why don’t they have the kind of luck Yvette has?

Those ladies have been visiting the Sterling Family frequently, sometimes even meeting outside, allowing Yvette to resume her usual social interactions.

Once, when Skylar saw them, she was about to go over and say hi, but as she got closer, she heard Yvette talking with those ladies.

The central figure of their conversation was Paige, and they were all envious of Yvette having such a freely-gotten daughter.

Yvette had a proud look, referring to Paige as "our Paige," and anyone not in the know might really think Paige was her biological daughter.

Skylar’s face was very unpleasant as she quietly walked away.

After Yvette parted with that group of ladies, Skylar appeared in front of her, her face gloomy.

"Mom, you’re always saying your daughter this, your daughter that. Is Paige really your daughter?"

She smirked, "Did you forget that I’m your daughter?"

Yvette’s face stiffened slightly, "Since I’ve married your Uncle Sterling, Paige is naturally also my daughter."

"You treat her like a daughter, but does she see you as a mom? Why are you so self-delusional?," Skylar sneered. "Paige doesn’t think much of you, she looks down on you from the core. Otherwise, why doesn’t she call you mom? You’re sticking your warm face to someone else’s cold shoulder, do you really think she takes you seriously?"

Yvette’s expression turned a little ugly. In fact, she didn’t care what Paige called her, as she wasn’t Paige’s birth mother and couldn’t have such expectations.

But the way Skylar put it did make her feel somewhat uncomfortable inside.

"Skylar, don’t talk nonsense! Paige has already shown enough respect to me as her stepmother!"

A family formed halfway through; mutual respect is already fortunate enough. She didn’t understand why Skylar always demanded so much more?

"Respect? Ha, if she respects you so much, then why is she so fixated on Sterling Family’s inheritance? Why is there no share of VastReach stocks in your name? You’re the official lady of the Sterling Family, but in reality, you’re just living under someone else’s roof. I heard that back when Paige’s mother was alive, she held ten percent of VastReach shares. Now, Paige holds fifteen percent of VastReach’s stocks, but what about you?"

Yvette frowned, "Paige’s mother and your Uncle Jared were a perfect match; VastReach’s shares were part of her dowry, and it’s only natural that Paige inherited her mother’s shares. I came into the Sterling Family with nothing, and I’m already satisfied with the good food and clothes..."

"You’re satisfied, but I’m not!" Skylar’s eyes reddened, "I’ve worked so hard, not to end up with nothing in the end!"

Yvette wanted to persuade Skylar, but Skylar ran off.

Yvette looked heartbroken; she had no idea what to do with this daughter of hers anymore.

She even had a premonition that if Skylar continued , in the future, both Skylar and herself would find themselves in very awkward situations.

But what could she do? She really couldn’t discipline this daughter of hers.

No matter how much others praised Paige, Skylar just refused to believe Paige was capable of anything.

Once she believed, wouldn’t that be admitting she was inferior to Paige?

Only by firmly holding on to this belief could she have the confidence to bring down Paige.

When Lana was once again called out by the girls, she realized her former friends seemed to have undergone a major transformation—everyone’s skin seemed to have suddenly improved dramatically; those who had acne no longer had any, and those with freckles no longer had them. Their faces looked soft and smooth, like freshly peeled eggs.

Even a few who often stayed up late and had severe dark circles no longer had them now.

The key thing was that they surprisingly had the courage to go out with no makeup.

A whole group of them, and she was the only one wearing makeup.

Lana was dumbfounded, "How did your skin suddenly become so smooth?"

"Of course, it’s because of the skincare cream God Sterling gave us; I use it every day, and it works pretty well."

"Me too, me too. All my pimples on my face are gone now, and there are no acne marks left. My God, our God Sterling is truly amazing."

Lana very much wanted to suspect that these people had all been bribed by Paige and Summer.

But the fact that their flaws had disappeared was also undeniable.

Could Paige and Summer bribe one of them, but it’s impossible to bribe everyone, right?

Moreover, these were people she often hung out with; she knew what they were like and couldn’t possibly lie about this.

However, their enthusiastic praise of Paige at the moment really made them seem like they were selling a pyramid scheme.

Lana looked at her cousin, "Cousin, why does the scar on your hand seem to have faded?"

Lana’s cousin had injured her hand playing around as a child, requiring several stitches, which left a scar that had grown larger with age. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Not long ago, she saw her cousin, and the scar on her cousin’s hand was still quite obvious.

Now at a glance, unless looked at closely, it’s hard to see any trace of her hand being injured.

Her cousin proudly said, "What are you talking about? I’ve been using the scar removal cream from God Sterling, see how well it’s working? Now do you finally believe?"

In the midst of contemplating life, Lana suddenly grabbed her cousin’s hand, "Cousin, cousin, we’re sisters, right? Use a little bit on me too, just a little, let me try it out..."

Her cousin refused, "The samples God Sterling gave us are so small, there’s very little anyway, and I’ve been using it sparingly. There’s not much left, so I can’t give it to you."

Refusing flatly, Lana sneaked to her cousin’s house to look for it, only to find that her cousin had hidden it very securely.

Lana was in despair, "Cousin, how can you be so heartless and cold to me?"

Her cousin, "I told you before not to want it, now you’re eating your words?"
