Their Mistake, Her Rise - Chapter 162: Chapter 162

Clara came rushing upstairs less than an hour after the call, banging on Eunice's door in a flurry. "Eunice, open the door. You have to see this!"
Eunice, still frazzled and unsure if the person she'd called would actually help, opened the door and asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
Clara was so excited she could barely get the words out. She shoved a package into Eunice's hands, her face practically glowing. "Check where it's from."
"Mom, seriously? Is this really the time to care about some random package?" Eunice grumbled, but still started opening it.
The next second, Clara blurted out, "It's from the company you've wanted to get into!"
Eunice froze. She looked closer and almost forgot to breathe. "This is from Marlowe Group. But I never even sent them my resume. Why would they send me anything?"
"Open it! Maybe it's a surprise," Clara urged.
Suddenly, Eunice remembered the person who'd promised to help her. She tore open the package and found an offer letter inside. "Mom, I got hired by Marlowe Group! And the job is team leader in the marketing department."
The two of them were so excited, it felt like they'd just hit the jackpot.
Clara snatched the letter and looked it over again and again. "Is this real? Eunice, you're amazing!"
She added, "They must have seen how talented you are. That's why they sent you an offer right away!"
Eunice just smiled, not about to tell her mom what it really took to get this job.
Clara was so happy that her voice shook. "Eunice, I always knew you were the best. I'm going to call those people who looked down on us. No one can say you aren't good enough now."
After calling around, Clara was on cloud nine. Those ladies who used to avoid Eunice were now falling over themselves to suck up to her.
Some even begged Clara to help their kids get into Marlowe Group too. All the flattery made Clara feel like she was back in her prime, when Eunice brought honor to the family in Jelonsburg's elite circles.
When Clara hung up, she said, "Eunice, you're incredible. I never thought joining Marlowe Group would turn things around so much—your status is even higher than before!
"I'm throwing you a party to celebrate your new job. Everyone will know you're not just joining Marlowe Group, but leading a team. Let them all be jealous."
Eunice was just as pleased. She'd finally redeemed herself and left her past behind. She could now erase all the shame Zoe had brought her with her brand-new identity.
Clara threw a dinner party at home that very night, inviting a whole crowd of friends and relatives.
If this had been before that day, everyone on the guest list would've kept their distance from the Evans family, not wanting to get caught up in Eunice's drama.
But things were completely different now.
Eunice had landed a spot at Marlowe Group, and not just any job—she was coming in as a team leader, a position with real clout.
Her status was on a whole new level now.
Just getting in Marlowe Group as a regular employee was enough to boost her family's standing by leaps and bounds, let alone being a team leader.
Many people, hoping to get their own kids into Marlowe Group, rushed over to the party, each one bringing fancy gifts for Eunice.
Looking at the mountain of presents piled up in the corner and hearing everyone's endless praise, Eunice couldn't help but hold her head high.
"Eunice, you're seriously amazing! Marlowe Group is as fancy as it gets, and you actually got in. We could only dream of having your talent," someone gushed.
"That's right, Eunice. As your friends, we're all so proud of you," another chimed in.
"My mom asked me to bring you this limited Hermès fall bag. I remember you always liked this one, Eunice," one girl said.
"I've got a one-of-a-kind diamond jewelry set, designed by a master just for you," another offered.
"Oh, please, those are so basic. Look at mine—this is a global limited-edition makeup set, almost impossible to get. If Eunice uses it, she'll be the most beautiful girl in Jelonsburg," someone else said.
The same rich girls who used to avoid her like the plague were now lining up to give gifts and chat her up, but Eunice just acted cool and distant, barely paying attention.
Still, that didn't stop them. They kept trying to win her over, and Clara, watching happily from the side, was beaming.
Sean had called to say that ever since Eunice joined Marlowe Group, the family's business suddenly gained a lot of attention—big companies wanted to work with them.
All of this was thanks to Eunice. Clara couldn't help but marvel at how capable her daughter was.
Even when her reputation was in trouble, Eunice managed to turn things around. It was clear the Evans family's future depended on her.
There was no way Clara would let Zoe mess up Eunice's life again.
Just as everyone was celebrating, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Where's Zoe?"
Eunice's happy face instantly turned sour.
She thought, 'Zoe, again. Why would she be mentioned at my party?'
Right then, Zoe finally walked through the door. As soon as people saw her, they looked from Zoe to Eunice, who was surrounded by friends and treated like the star of the night.
The socialites who always hung around Eunice weren't clueless—they all knew the two sisters didn't get along. They started teasing Zoe.
"Well, look who's back—the vulgar girl."
"Even in Jelonsburg, she'll always be a vulgar girl. The only Evans heiress is Eunice."
"She's nothing but trouble. She can't compare to Eunice. You know, Eunice already got into Marlowe Group."
"Not everyone can get in Marlowe Group—especially not some vulgar girl who shouldn't even dream about it."
