Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 989:

Elyse walked away from Elite Lux, her pockets empty, eyes lifting to the vast sky where dark clouds threatened rain.

Regret crashed over her. If she had known things would turn out like this, she never would have harmed Brylee.

Now, with no one left to turn to, what was she supposed to do next?

Elyse tracked down Nina. “You should be supporting me in my old age. Give me five hundred grand a month, and I’ll stay out of your way.”

Nina’s response was flat. “I don’t have any money.”

Elyse had no interest in pretending to be a doting mother anymore. All she wanted was cash. “You’re a big-time celebrity now, and you expect me to believe you’re broke? Come on. I’m not asking for much—just half a million!”

Nina sighed. “I’m still new to this industry. Daniela gave me a shot, and that’s the only reason I even have a chance at making it.”

Elyse narrowed her eyes. “You’re lying. Daniela didn’t pay you? That’s impossible! I know her—she’s never stingy with money.”

Nina nodded. “That’s true. Daniela offered me money, but I refused. Since I live and eat with her, I told her to treat it as living expenses. Instead, she set up a fixed-term savings account for me—one I can’t touch until it matures. So, no, I really don’t have any money right now!”

Elyse squeezed her eyes shut in frustration. “Why a savings fund? How much did she even put in it?”

Nina shrugged. “I don’t know, but like you said, Daniela wouldn’t shortchange me. Since my health isn’t great, I added a clause—if anything happens to me, the money will be a thank-you gift for Daniela’s support. It won’t count as an inheritance.”

This completely shattered any chance Elyse had of getting her hands on the money.

Elyse made a spectacle on set, snatching up a megaphone and disrupting the shoot with a loud commotion.

“Gather around, everyone! See for yourselves! The so-called big star! Ignoring her aging mother, leaving me to rot in a tiny apartment! Look at her, Nina Dury, leaving her own mother in a dingy rental, waiting to die.” Her voice was loud enough to attract a crowd.

It was like she had finally found the perfect stage for her performance.

“Take a good look at her! Is this what a real star looks like? Celebrities are supposed to be role models, yet she tossed her own mother aside. How can someone like her even call herself a public figure?”noveldrama

Elyse stirred up chaos, showing no concern for the fragile career Nina was just beginning to establish.

Nina stood off to the side, her gaze icy as she silently observed the scene.

Elyse turned to the reporters, throwing out accusations. “I was a single mother! I struggled to raise Nina on my own! I adored her! Every single outfit she wore as a child—I made them with my own hands!”

Nina let out a quiet scoff, her thoughts dripping with sarcasm. Her clothes had been made from the scraps left over after making Natalie’s clothes.

“I was always there! I never missed a single parent-teacher meeting, no matter what!”

Of course, she never missed Natalie’s meetings. But when it came to Nina, she had skipped her biggest dance competition. The day Nina won her award, she stood on stage, scanning the crowd for a familiar face—there was none.

Elyse went on, “I kept a close eye on her studies, made sure she excelled, and even sent her abroad for higher education! Look at her now—Nina Dury, an outstanding success!”
