"Yeah, it's beautiful."
Her thoughts shattered, Xanthea snapped the lid shut. Was it just a coincidence? They barely met in their previous lives. How could he know her so well?
"By the way, Dad, Mom, Ethan, Samuel and Mirry, I have something to announce."
Christopher asked, "What is it?"
"I've decided to enter the showbiz."
"What?!"
As she spoke, the room fell into shocked silence, especially Miranda, who dropped her fork with a clatter.
She slowly lifted her head, disbelief etched on her face.
What was she up to now? Hadn't she always talked about pursuing a career in scientific research? Why the sudden switch to the showbiz? If she entered the showbiz, what would happen to her?
For years, she'd been leveraging her connections with the Nightshade family and Oliver to pull some strings at Oli·hea Media. If Xanthea made her debut…
Oliver, who treated her like his own daughter, would surely put the company's best teams and resources at Xanthea’s disposal, leaving nothing for her. Even if there were “leftovers”, they'd only be the scraps that Xanthea didn’t want!
Ethan looked at her sternly, "Xan, haven't you always wanted to be a chemist? The Scientific Research Institute of Crestwood Hall Academy has already sent you an invitation. Why switch to the showbiz all of a sudden?"
