Chapter 144
Yolanda hadn't intended to involve herself in the affairs of the Whitmores, but Yvonne's desperate attempts to
impress Diana had been somewhat amusing. To reclaim Diana's favor, Yolanda needed to continually outshine
Yvonne.
Since Brigham was the general manager of Starry Gemworks, he held significant authority in the company. For
Yolanda, getting Bailee a job there was as simple as making a phone call.
Anyway, it was not her concern what kind of social backlash Bailee might face once her colleagues found out she
got in through connections.
Eleanor, who was initially taken aback, sneered at Yolanda's statement. "Arrange it? What does a waste like you
can do? And you claim to know the general manager of Starry Gemworks? Tell me. How did you get to know him?
Did you meet him while he was visiting juvenile detention?"
Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. She couldn't believe Yolanda's claim about knowing Starry Gemworks'

"Don't make trouble at a tlike this, Yolanda," Diana said with a frown. She too doubted Yolanda's claim.
Given that the Henderson family had no connections with the Hansen family and Yolanda had just cout of
juvenile detention a month ago, it seemed implausible for her to know such a high-ranking individual.
Noticing that things might fall through today, Eleanor quickly softened her tone and said, "You know me, Diana.
I'm straightforward and blunt.
"What | said might have sounded harsh, but we genuinely need your help. You're well-connected in the socialite
circle, and | believe you have the means to help

Eleanor really knew how to control Diana perfectly.
With her mixed approach of pressure and flattery, Diana felt her anger subside somewhat. She sighed.
"Eleanor, it's not that | don't want to help, but | simply can't. The Hansen family is not someone I can reach."
"Please don't say that, Aunt Diana. Can you really bear to seestruggle to find a suitable job after
graduation?" Bailee chimed in, placing the blsquarely on Diana as if her lack of employment was Diana's
fault.
Diana nearly choked on her frustration at Bailee's emotional manipulation.
"Aunt Eleanor, Bailee, even if you insist, we genuinely can't help." Yvonne stepped in after realizing Diana's
frustration.
"The best | can do is to ensure Bailee skips the screening process, which is a significant advantage. If she works
hard, she'll surely "
Before Yvonne could finish, Bailee rudely interrupted her. "That's all nonsense! What's the use of just working
hard?
"My dad worked hard all his life, and we're still stuck in that shabby 800-square- foot apartment! We're nothing
compared to your wealthy families with villas and luxury cars!"

When Eleanor realized that Diana was still unwilling to help, her patience wore thin. "You refuse to do us such a
small favor. Have you really forgotten aboutnow that you've becwealthy?"
"Forget it, Mom. You don't have to beg them. Aunt Diana's family is rich now and clearly looks down on us,"
Bailee added.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Diana's voice trembled with anger.
"Bailee, wasn't itwho helped you get the acceptance letter when your college exam scores fell short? And
now you're turning your back on me?
"And Eleanor, think about it. Whenever your family faced difficulties, have | not helped you every time? Your
demands today are just too unreasonable. | can't help you!"
"What's unreasonable about our request?" Eleanor argued. "All | asked was for you to pull a few strings. For you,
it's just a matter of making a phone call."
"You!" Diana's face turned pale with rage. "You don't know anything! Do you think entering high society is that
simple?"
