Sophia and Cooper were both stunned when they saw the woman. The actress resembled Sophia very much in appearance. Though it was extravagant to say that they looked exactly the same, all her features, face shape and even her cheekbone were very similar to Sophia’s in the past.
Sophia felt a chill down her spine. Even Cooper thought it was unbelievable. Nevertheless, he could notice the difference as soon as he walked closer—they might look alike when they were immobile, but there were still dissimilarities between them once they started moving around, and they were two totally distinct individuals.
Moreover, the actress had a stiff face and heavy makeup on. Her skin was bad with large pores, and she had to touch up her makeup every half an hour to conceal the blackheads on her nose. Besides, the scar left from plastic surgery could be obviously seen on her face. There was no doubt his daughter was the prettier one!
The woman seemed to be a big shot as she had eight assistants following her around, all as busy as a beaver. Some served her drinks, while the others took care of her makeup and gave her massages.
Carmen saw the woman and recognized her the moment she arrived at the shooting scene. Excitedly, Carmen tugged at Sophia’s arm and exclaimed, “Mommy, I’m going to ask for Miss Faye’s autograph!”
Feeling resigned, Sophia was led away by Carmen to ask for an autograph from the celebrity. Suddenly, she thought of something. Isn’t this Faye Edwards?
Lately, parent-child variety shows such as ‘Where Are We Going, Dad?’ were becoming popular in Cethos, and these shows had successfully helped some obsolete actors regain their popularity along with their children. Following that, many television programs that were similar like ‘Where Are We Going, Mom?’, ‘Where Are We Going, Sis? and ‘Where Are We Going, Bro?’ emerged, all of which had high ratings.
Meanwhile, Faye Edwards was exactly the famous sister starred in ‘Where Are We Going, Sis?’. She was also one of the most popular A-list celebrities in Cethos currently. Carmen saw her on the television everyday, and she admired her extremely. Now that she had met Faye Edwards in person, she immediately got down to ask for an autograph and pictures with her. On the other hand, Sophia had no choice but to go along with her.
Sophia knew Faye and could barely remember her as Joe’s daughter. If nothing unexpected happened, Joe would have been gotten rid by Cooper already. Nevertheless, Cooper held on to his principle that women and kids should not be implicated by a man’s wrongdoing, so he did not go after Faye even when he sought revenge against Joe for Annabel.
Thus, Faye was still a popular A-list superstar, especially after starring in ‘Where Are We Going, Sis?’, which further boosted her fame. She was no longer the insignificant actress who had to ride on other people’s coattails.
Without Joe, Faye merely lost a father who was a loser that constantly caused her trouble. She was indifferent to losing her father, and in fact, she was even kind of glad about it. Nevertheless, she was unaware of Joe’s whereabouts, and she thought he had fled overseas to escape from the creditors, as he always had.
She would rather him die and disappear forever. She had been castigated for having a father who was a troublemaker, and anti-fans would constantly dig out Joe’s unattractive pictures and compare them with Faye’s features whenever they criticized the fact that she had plastic surgery.
Carmen skipped buoyantly toward Faye and said in a syrupy tone, “Miss Faye, may I ask for your autograph?” Holding a pen and notebook in her hands, Carmen lifted her head hopefully with excitement in her eyes.
Though she had already shot one scene, Carmen’s identity remained a secret as Michael was extremely protective toward her. The staff were not allowed to reveal her identity either, hence Faye assumed she was just a random kid who came from nowhere.
Surely, Faye heard the request, but she quickly shifted her gaze away after glancing at Carmen, pretending as if she did not notice her. She hated children the most! They were nasty and dirty… She would have loved to shoved them away if it was not for the shoot.
