With my face, even if I canât be the main lead, I can still do the second or third female lead.
â
Wilton turned to her and said, âThe assistant director originally wanted you to play the third female lead, but apparently, the two scriptwriters objected.
It took a lot of effort to convince the crew to let you have a part.
â
Ivy was fuming.
âWho are these scriptwriters?â
âOne of them is Rosalynn.
The other is your sister,â Wilton answered.
Ivyâs eyes widened.
âTheyâre the scriptwriters for the TV drama?â she asked in disbelief.
âYes,â Wilson confirmed.
âI heard that this TV drama was a novel adaptation.
Rosalynn is the author of that novel.
Your sister was hired by one of the investors.
The two of them have a lot of power in the crew.
â
Shadows crossed Ivyâs features, her expression darkening.
Of all people, it had to be those two.
Ivy thought of how her marriage was ruined by Tilda.
Fury rushed through her.
âDad, can you believe that? First, Tilda destroyed my marriage, and now sheâs out to sabotage my career.
She clearly targeting me.
Arenât you just going to let this go?â
Her complaints caused Wiltonâs brows to furrow.
âIvy, youâre an excellent dancer, and youâre majoring in it.
Why are you so bent on pursuing acting? If you donât want the role, you can refuse.
You donât have to join the cast.
â
Hearing this, Ivy couldnât help but blurt out angrily, âI canât accept that! Dad, my reputation was already ruined, thanks to Tilda.
I have no other choice but to accomplish something to make everyone look up at me again! Thatâs why being an actress is the fastest and easiest way.
I can be famous as soon as possible! This is my opportunity to restore my reputation! Donât you see that?â
However, Wilton seemed to disagree.
âIvy, different professions have their own rules.
You donât even have a background in acting.
How are you so sure that you can easily be a famous actress? It wonât be as effortless as you may have anticipated.
If you want to restore your reputation, why donât you do what youâre good at? Dance well and perform on a bigger stage so that more people will know you.
Isnât that the sensible thing to do?â
Ivy retorted, âDad, you donât understand.
No matter how well I dance, my popularity wonât go as high compared to when I became a successful actress! Tell me this.
How many of those famous actresses do you know are really skillful and excellent? They were only getting projects and advertisements either because of their strong backers, or they were spending money themselves.
As long as the companies behind them get their fill, they donât care if the actresses under them are actually good or not!â
Wilton got her point, but he still didnât want to agree.
Renata, who had been silent all the time, chimed in, âWilton, since this is what she wants, why donât you just let her do it? Are you going to hurt Ivyâs feelings and deprive her of an opportunity just because Tilda is against it? Donât you want her to be able to restore her reputation? I think you are being unfair.

Wilton glanced at her with a cold snort and said unhappily, âRenata, for so many years, Iâve only been partial to Ivy.
Donât you realize that?â
Renata responded, âReally? Tilda destroyed Ivyâs marriage.
But did you ever blame Tilda for it? Is that what you call being partial to Ivy? Although they are not from the same mother, the blood of the Larson family flows in their veins.
But Tilda hates Ivy so much that she makes her look like a joke in the upper class of Skrix.
After being involved in such a mess, no wealthy families will be willing to accept Ivy in the future unless she redeems herself in a grand way!â
Her words just made Wiltonâs face darken even more.
Before he could say anything, Ivy added, âThatâs exactly what I am talking about! Dad, do you know that even lowly commoners dishonor me so casually now? I have suffered so much grievance, and you wonât even get justice for me!â
The two echoed with each other, ganging up on Wilton.
