Chapter 332
Changing Only For Her
âHave you ever thought about joining the entertainment industry now that Sophieâs running an entertainment company? I think youâll be successful if you become a celebrity, especially with your good looks.â
âYeah! I sincerely think youâre suited for the entertainment industry, Willa! Youâll definitely be one of the most stunning individuals in the industry if you do join.â
âAlso, Sophieâs entertainment company belongs to the Tanner family. If you enter the company, youâll no doubt gain lots of resources thatâll help make you famous! If you canât marry into a rich family, you should consider working in the entertainment industry. Itâs easy to earn money there, donât you think so?â
A few of Willowâs 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!â
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.
âDonât worry. If I do join the entertainment industry, Iâll be sure to bring you all with me.â
Just as Willow was visiting the restroom, she met Sophie and Ysabelle in the corridor.
âCome 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 donât 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.
âSister? 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, Ysabelleâs 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 didnât speak her mind right then and there. âI heard youâre opening an entertainment company. Iâd like to join your company. Iâm sure Iâll 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 youâre exceptionally beautiful or something? I canât believe you donât 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 couldnât help but glance at her.
Then, she rejected, âMy company canât sign a contract with you.â
Fury surged within Willow. âYou!â The money sheâs using to open her entertainment company belongs to the Tanner family anyway. So why canât I join?
However, when she recalled she was the one asking for favors, she had no choice but to stifle her emotions.
âSophie, no matter what, weâre still sisters. And sisters are supposed to help each other out, no?
Whatâs the problem with helping me? Iâm not asking for much. I just want to be a part of your company.â
She didnât think that her request was anything too outrageous.
âWhy should I help you?â Sophie couldnât help but raise her eyebrow.
I canât 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
âOur company has certain standards when it comes to choosing who to hire. You donât meet that standard,â came Sophieâs reply.
âWhy donât I meet your company standards? I look attractive, donât I?â
Sophie snorted, amused. âDo you think having a pretty face is all it takes?â
âOf course. There are plenty of people in the entertainment industry whose sole competence is being attractive, isnât it?â Willow didnât think she was worse than those people.
âItâs time for class, Sophie. You should stop wasting time talking nonsense with her. Letâs go.â Ysabelle held the belief that it was pointless to talk to someone with no self-awareness.
âYou canât do this to me, Sophie. Didnât you open your company with the Tanner familyâs money?â
âSorry to disappoint you, but I used my own money to open the company. Thatâs why I wonât let you in.â
With that, Sophie turned around and left with Ysabelle.
Willowâs hand curled into a tight fist. How shameless! I canât believe she said she used her own money.
Thereâs no way she has that much money! Does she think Iâm stupid? Thereâs no way that money doesnât 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, âWhatâs wrong? Why do you look so down? Itâs nearly time for your university entrance exam. You should put away all your thoughts and focus on that.â
âDo you know Sophieâs 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 Groupâs 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.
âWhat 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. Iâm 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 wonât agree to that.â
âThis is my own matter, Mom! I want to decide for myself.â
Charmaine was speechless.
âYouâre the only person who still supports me, Mom. You must have my back. Once I become successful, you wonât have to be angry anymore.â Willow was aware of her motherâs lack of status in the family.
Her words moved Charmaine. âFine. Since this is your choice, Iâll definitely support you unconditionally.â
No matter what happens, Willowâs my only support. So what if Sophieâs amazing? She doesnât care about me or even sees me as her mother!
Willow requested, âThen, can you talk about it with Sophie? Iâm 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? Itâs not like you donât know Sophieâs temperament. If sheâs unwilling to do something, no one can change her mind. Donât worry, Iâll find you a very good agency.â
âOkay! Donât worry, Mom. Iâll definitely give it my all this time. I wonât let you down! Iâll make sure those who look down on me no longer have the chance to do so. One day, Iâll squash them under my boots.â
âI believe you! Donât worry, Iâll be sure to support you with all Iâve got when the time comes. I still have some money on me.â Once again, Charmaine chose to stand on Willowâs side.
