Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 49

"I don't want a career in entertainment. What would I do with your resources?" Mira glanced at him and replied.

"Then why are you participating in the performance showcase?"

"For fun. Can't I cultivate a hobby? Also, I have a recording of our conversation last night where you all tried to get my spot. If you dare to lower my score during the competition, I'll release it immediately."

He watched her, her long ponytail swaying as she spoke. Her face was as delicate and beautiful as ever, but her expression was stern. Damon's heart sank.

Where was the gentle, obedient sister who used to look at him with such adoration? He wasn't home often. When had his family's relationships become like this? Was it all because of Mara's arrival, and their favoritism?

"Don't doubt Mira's words. She'll do what she says she'll do. I hope you can live up to the title of 'judge.'"

"But what about Mara's reputation?"

"We'll think of something else."

"I know, Ethan. But there's one thing I don't understand. The dynamic between us as a family... it seems to have changed."

"Is it normal for Mom and Dad to defend Mara so blindly? Is it normal for us to be so biased? Given that, Mira's reaction to the family is pretty reasonable."
