âHave you ever thought about joining the entertainment industry now that Sophie's running an
entertainment company? I think you'll be successful if you become a celebrity, especially with your
good looks.â
"Yeah! I sincerely think you're suited for the entertainment industry, Willa! You'll definitely be one of
the most stunning individuals in the industry if you do join.â
"Also, Sophie's entertainment company belongs to the Tanner family. If you enter the company,
you'll no doubt gain lots of resources that'll help make you famous! If you can't marry into a rich
family, you should consider working in the entertainment industry. It's easy to earn money there,
don't you think so?â
A few of Willow's sidekicks suggested her the same thing.
Willow was slightly moved when she heard that.
âIf you do end up in the entertainment industry, you have to bring me in with you, all right, Willa? I
want to go too. I can play a supporting role for you.â
âMe too, Willa!"
Hearing them saying that made Willow think she would definitely become famous.
She believed that as long as she was incredibly famous, she could marry into any rich family she
wanted.
âDon't worry. If I do join the entertainment industry, I'll be sure to bring you all with me.â
Just as Willow was visiting the restroom, she met Sophie and Ysabelle in the corridor.
"Come over here, Sophie. I have something I want to discuss with you,â Willow uttered in an
arrogant tone.
Ysabelle shot a glance at Willow. Ugh... This woman is everywhere. Why do we keep bumping into
her?
When it came to Willow, Ysabelle had very little patience. âCan you stop it already, Willow? We don't
have time to talk nonsense with you here. Sophie is a very busy woman.â
âI just want to talk to my younger sister. What does that have to do with you? Who do you think you
are?â Willow was annoyed that an outsider like Ysabelle was trying to get in between her
conversation with her dear sister.
"Sister? When did you ever see Sophie as your younger sister? Having an older sister like you is like
having a stroke of bad luck around!â Sharp-tongued as ever, Ysabelle's words managed to make
Willow scowl.
Just then, Sophie finally said, âJust tell me what you want.â
Willow hesitated briefly, but when she saw how Sophie was acting, she knew her chance would slip
away if she didn't speak her mind right then and there. âI heard you're opening an entertainment
company. I'd like to join your company. I'm sure I'll be famous if I become a part of the
entertainment industry.â
âMy goodness, who gave you the confidence to be this shameless? Do you think you're
exceptionally beautiful or something? I can't believe you don't feel embarrassed saying that while
looking like... this,â said Ysabelle. I knew there was no way she was being nice to Sophie for no
reason.
Upon hearing that, Sophie couldn't help but glance at her.
Then, she rejected, âMy company can't sign a contract with you.â
Fury surged within Willow. âYou!â The money she's using to open her entertainment company
belongs to the Tanner family anyway. So why can't I join?
However, when she recalled she was the one asking for favors, she had no choice but to stifle her
emotions.
"Sophie, no matter what, we're still sisters. And sisters are supposed to help each other out, no?
What's the problem with helping me? I'm not asking for much. I just want to be a part of your
company.â She didn't think that her request was anything too outrageous.
"Why should I help you?â Sophie couldn't help but raise her eyebrow.
I can't believe she has the audacity to ask me for help.
Hearing that, Willow knew she had to lower herself, for there was nothing else she could do. âI know
what I did in the past was wrong, Soph. Will you fulfill my request if I apologize to you?â
"Our company has certain standards when it comes to choosing who to hire. You don't meet that
standard,â came Sophie's reply.
"Why don't I meet your company standards? I look attractive, don't 1?"
Sophie snorted, amused. âDo you think having a pretty face is all it takes?â
"Of course. There are plenty of people in the entertainment industry whose sole competence is
being attractive, isn't it?â Willow didnât think she was worse than those people.
âIt's time for class, Sophie. You should stop wasting time talking nonsense with her. Let's go.â
Ysabelle held the belief that it was pointless to talk to someone with no self-awareness.
âYou can't do this to me, Sophie. Didn't you open your company with the Tanner family's money?â
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I used my own money to open the company. That's why I won't let you
in.â With that, Sophie turned around and left with Ysabelle.
Willow's hand curled into a tight fist. How shameless! I can't believe she said she used her own
money. There's no way she has that much money! Does she think I'm stupid? There's no way that
money doesn't belong to the Tanner family.
With that thought in mind, she became even more determined to enter the entertainment industry.
Willow was still unhappy even after returning home.
When Charmaine saw how her daughter looked, she asked caringly, âWhat's wrong? Why do you
look so down? It's nearly time for your university entrance exam. You should put away all your
thoughts and focus on that.â
âDo you know Sophie's opening an entertainment company, Mom?â Willow replied with a question
of her own.
Charmaine shook her head.
There was no room for her involvement in Tanner Group's matters, so she had no idea what Sophie
was up to.
âRight now, the most lucrative job in the world lies in the entertainment industry, Mom. One can
earn tens of millions just by filming a show,â Willow explained.
"What do you mean?â Charmaine was confounded.
âMom, I want to join the entertainment industry and take part in a television show or even a movie.
I'm going to enroll in a film school instead of college.â If becoming a celebrity was the only way for
her to marry into a rich family, then she would not hesitate to choose that path, for that was her
only goal in life.
âFilm school? Your grandfather won't agree to that.â
âThis is my own matter, Mom! I want to decide for myself.â
Charmaine was speechless.
âYou're the only person who still supports me, Mom. You must have my back. Once I become
successful, you won't have to be angry anymore.â Willow was aware of her mother's lack of status in
the family.
Her words moved Charmaine. âFine. Since this is your choice, I'll definitely support you
unconditionally.â
No matter what happens, Willow's my only support. So what if Sophie's amazing? She doesn't care
about me or even sees me as her mother!
Willow requested, âThen, can you talk about it with Sophie? I'm not asking for anything else. I just
hope I can join her entertainment company.â
Hearing that, Charmaine hesitated for a moment before saying, âHow about you sign a contract
with another company, Willa? It's not like you don't know Sophie's temperament. If she's unwilling
to do something, no one can change her mind. Don't worry, I'll find you a very good agency.â
"Okay! Don't worry, Mom. I'll definitely give it my all this time. I won't let you down! I'll make sure
those who look down on me no longer have the chance to do so. One day, I'll squash them under
my boots.â
âI believe you! Don't worry, I'll be sure to support you with all I've got when the time comes. I still
have some money on me.â Once again, Charmaine chose to stand on Willow's side.
