Having been given a second chance at life, she now possessed the power to choose her own path
forward
As a child, she had dreamed of bing a star she saw on TV. However, after numerous events
unfolded, she gradually lost the right
to dream.
Yesterday, a call from Reece stirred something within her heart. Pursuing stardom as a whim didn’t
seem too bad.
“But is this really okay?”
Tricia couldn’t help but nce at the pile of documents on Sophie’s desk
In recent months, S Corporation’s turnover had already surpassed the peak of Burke International, truly
establishing it as amercial titan in Devonport
If Sophie, the person in charge, were to pursue a career in entertainment, what would be of
them?
Feeling the weight of her responsibilities, Sophie stood up and patted Tricia on the shoulder, saying, “I
believe you can handle it. fil double your year–end bonus.”
Tncia found it hard to be excited.
In the afternoon, Sophie and Jenna enjoyed afternoon tea at a café downstairs. Jenna spit out a
mouthful of coffee in surprise. “You’re pursuing stardom? Jenna wiped theer of her mouth, saying.
“You’re not joking with me, are you?”
Sophie frowned, asking, “Why so surprised?”
“Even if the Russell family went bankrupt, you still have S Corporation. You don’t need to be a
celebrity and let people gossip about you
In the eyes of ordinary people, being a celebrity meant being in the spotlight, the most dazzling
existence.
But in their high society circles, celebrities were merelymodities, mere possessions.
Families of standing would never wish for their children to be celebrities. Actors were regarded as
the lowest of the low.
Sophie, however, disagreed. “My decision to enter show business isn’t just a whim. With Russell
Enterprises facing bankruptcy, it will undoubtedly affect ourpany to some extent. Right now, there’s
a significant public demand for my debut, which provides a perfect opportunity for some positive
publicity.”
Hearing this, Jenna was astounded. “You’re absolutely right. With you and Reece, thepany could
save a fortune on endorsement fees when expanding internationally.”
No sooner had Jenna finished speaking than she eagerly asked, “Does Colby know about your ns?”
Sophie didn’t respond, merely sipping her tea with an expressionless face. “He doesn’t.”
Seeing Sophie’s expression, Jenna realized her foolish brother must have erred. She couldn’t help
saying. “Are you upset because he hasn’t been in Devonport these past few days with all that’s
happened?”
“One can’t always depend on someone else. He can’t be by my side at all times. What’s there to be
upset about?”
It was a lesson she had learned in her previous life.
Having been rebom, she had met Colby and thought he might be an exception. Vet, these past few
days had shown her that even Colby couldn’t always be there for her.
“Colby must have been held up by something important. I’ve never seen him care about a girl as much
as he does about you. But as you know, the nature of his work is quite unique“
Colby was no ordinary businessman. His past life was one on the edge, living days no one else could
imagine.
Jenna still wanted to make a case for her brother, but Sophie simply smiled and said, “Perhaps, from
the beginning, we were never meant to walk the same path. Jenna, you don’t need to try to bring us
together anymqm.
“Who says we’re not meant to walk the same path?” A deep voice sounded from behind

Sophie turned around, only to feel a chill in the air. Colby had hurried back, looking as if he hadn’t slept
in days, his expression weary.
Jenna stood up abruptly. “You actually came back? Do you have any idea how much has happened to
the Russell family these past few days? Is this how you chase after a girl? Disappearing when she
needs you the mos!!”
