Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 439

Bryant had been whisked away by a famous director to discuss potential investments.

I was deeply engaged in conversation with Bella when a waiter approached us.

"Ma'am, your juice."

"Thank you."

Such service was typical at these kinds of gala dinners.

I didn't think much of it and reached out to take the glass just as Summer walked over. Bella immediately reached out to touch her forehead with concern. "Sweetie, Ivy mentioned you were feeling a bit under the weather. How are you feeling now? Better?"

"Much better, Mom."

Summer stood obediently by her side, her eyes filled with longing as she looked at Becky. "Becky, I saw online that next month you're going to be on that slow living reality show. Can I come with you and experience it too?"

I had a pretty good idea of what she was after—the idea of breaking into showbiz hadn't left her mind.

The show Becky was joining involved selecting a quaint village and inviting several seasoned actors along with a few fresh faces to live a leisurely life of dining and farming together. It was hugely popular and eagerly anticipated each season. While ordinary folks rarely got the chance to appear as guests, it wasn't impossible for Summer. After all, being born into such an exceptional family, could anyone deny her excellence?

However, Bella furrowed her brows and exchanged a glance with Ivy, clearly not expecting Summer to bypass her and go straight to Becky. Becky was a bit taken aback too. But they were all seasoned in handling delicate situations, and she deftly tossed the topic back to Bella. "Well, that's really up to your mom. Showbiz can be a tough world, and she loves you too much to want you to endure that hardship."

I wasn't surprised at her response. After all, Becky was showing respect not to Summer, but to Bella. And given Bella's stature, it indeed wouldn't make sense for her daughter to enter the entertainment industry, where the cons often outweigh the pros. She had suffered enough and wouldn't want her daughter to go through the same.

Yet Summer didn't get it, pouting. "Everyone says showbiz is tough, but I just want to experience it." She tugged at Bella's arm. "Please, Mom? You know the producers..."

"Alright, alright," Bella sounded exasperated but finally gave in. Summer's eyes lit up. "You're the best, Mom!"

Breaking into showbiz was a dream for many. But for Summer to have this dream baffled everyone present. Becky glanced over at me and suddenly offered, "Jane, what about you? A spot on the show could really boost your profile."
