Yina looked at Cherry Miller suspiciously.
"My silly girl." Cherry Miller gave her a helpless look. "Honestly, I'm always on your side. I want you two to get along, so I've really thought this through. Yina, Miles Gu bullied you—don't you want to get back at him? Imagine if his Second Persona falls for you, and then you tell him you've only ever loved his Primary Persona, and you'll never love the second one! Think about Earl Field, think about Madam. Don't you get it? Why has the Chairman been jealous for over twenty years? It's because Earl Field has loved Madam for all that time! The best way to punish someone isn't to watch them fall, but to make them regret it forever! You need to make Miles Gu regret breaking off the engagement today!"
Yina's eyes lit up!
She knew Cherry would never let her down.
"But how can you be sure Miles Gu's Second Persona will fall for me?" Yina still had doubts.
"Back when Madam suggested Miles Gu get engaged to you, he wasn't forced at all—he was genuinely thrilled for ages. What does that tell you? Even without the engagement, Miles Gu's Primary Persona was already drawn to you. If his strong Primary Persona couldn't resist your charm, how could a Second Persona created by hypnosis?" Cherry Miller was totally confident in Yina. "Your strengths aren't just about status or family background. It's your knowledge, your talent, your character, and your grace. People only see you as the heiress of the Yin Family, but they don't see the hardships you've endured for this identity over the past twenty years. All that effort wasn't wasted. It turned into your personal charm, and it'll always be with you."
"If Miles Gu couldn't help but fall for you the first time, he'll definitely fall for you again. When his Second Persona is smitten, you can give him a cold rejection—doesn't that sound satisfying?" Cherry Miller shifted in her seat and continued, "Ethan Yin thinks the same way. He wants to use feelings to trigger Miles Gu's Primary Persona. When Miles's Primary Persona senses another persona chasing after you, don't you think he'll be provoked and snap awake?"
"Will it work?" Yina was still unsure.
"Drop the doubt! It'll work!" Cherry Miller cheered Yina on. "And just because Miles Gu moves into Sunset Manor doesn't mean you'll be together all the time. We'll hang out as a group and watch if he gets jealous! Once he starts noticing you, he'll gradually discover all your best qualities. By then, Elisa Field and Alice will be nothing but passing clouds!"
"Men of the Field Family are destined to be drawn to Yun Family Women," Cherry Miller said with pride. "Back then, Earl Field was famous for being against marriage. He'd seen every kind of beauty and faced every kind of hardship. But once he met Madam, he was completely captivated. The Yun Family's heritage can't be matched by those flashy outsiders! You're a Yun descendant, so you have the qualities of Yun Family Women too. Be confident! Lose anyone's face, but never lose the face of a Yun woman!"
Yina, who had been bent over, suddenly straightened up!
That's right, Cherry's right!
She might have the Yin surname, but she's true Yun Family blood!
She can't lose to Elisa Field!
"You're right. I can't chicken out!" All the gloom vanished from Yina's face. "Even if the worst happens, isn't it just like now? What's there to worry about?"
"Exactly! That's the spirit!" Cherry Miller kept cheering Yina on. "Even if Miles Gu is one of the most handsome men out there, there are plenty of good-looking guys! Just think about Madam's group of admirers—there are even more in our generation! And as for Elisa Field, we've all met her. She's not as pretty as you, not as well-born, not as talented, not as genuine, not as deep! With a woman like that, what do we have to fear? Even if love is blind and irrational, I don't believe Miles Gu could be that blind, ignoring the facts and letting love cloud his mind!"
"Miles Gu's Primary Persona isn't ruled by love, so his Second Persona won't be either. And even if the Second Persona is, do you think those fanatics in the Field Family would allow it? If that were the case, why would they work so hard to awaken his Second Persona? A family leader can't be ruled by love!"
"Back when the Chairman was pursuing Madam, she might have come from humble beginnings, but she had talent, character, depth, and ability! So, Elisa Field only got ahead thanks to hypnosis, but when it comes to real charisma, she loses every time!"
You had to admit, Cherry Miller's words were seriously persuasive.
Yina grew more and more confident. "Mm, I'll listen to you!"
