    Today’s livestream room was extremely lively. Everyone was discussing Sharon’s embarrassing


    incident.

    Although the public rtions team had managed to suppress the trending topic, there were too many


    people watching the live broadcast, and it was impossible to silence them.


    Even Louis’ mother, Lydia, knew about it.


    She called Louis and, with restrained anger, said, “Louis, do you remember what you promised me


    back then?”


    Upon hearing her words, Louis’ expression turned cold, and he replied in a low voice, “Mom, you…”


    Lydia interrupted with impatience, and this time, she was truly furious. “Do you know that because of


    you, I’ve be a joke in the upper-ss society? How many people areughing at me behind my


    back?”


    “When you insisted on marrying Sharon and even gave up on the marriage alliance, I gave in because


    we could not bear to reject you. You’ve always been sensible and outstanding since childhood. It was


    the first time you had pleaded with me and your father.”


    “But there was a condition: you had to work even harder to make up for the losses caused by not


    pursuing the marriage we had arranged!”


    “But now, look what you’ve done,” Lydia continued. “It’s one thing that Sharon embarrassed herself, but


    the fact that you embarrassed yourself and her is another. Are you trying to infuriate me to death?”


    She took a deep breath, and her voice turned hoarse. “Do you have nothing else to do? The Phil family


    business spans various industries and different kinds of scope. Are you so idle that you can easily


    engage in those deals? You even have the spare time to apany Sharon on variety shows?”


    “Participating in variety shows is fine, but at least you should have a n in mind. First, to shape a


    positive and rtable public image, to increase


    1/3


    your poprity with the public. Second, to promote the Phil family.”


    “But what did you do? You only know how to embarrass the family!” Lydia eximed, her frustration


    growing. “Do you know that the variety show producer has already filed aint to your


    grandfather? If I hadn’t acted quickly and intervened, he would have found out about this, and you can


    imagine how disappointed he would be in you!”


    Lydia continued, her anger intensifying, “For no reason, why did you have to pick a fight with that young


    star, Kelly? The Phil family invested in this variety show to make money, not to pamper you like an


    emperor!”


    “Look at you. How many times have you resorted to schemes? Can you handle Kelly? Are you


    brainless now? The producer and your uncle warned you not to mess with Kelly. Don’t you even think


    about why?”


    “Louis…” Lydia was utterly disappointed. “I never thought you would be this arrogant!”


    With that, Lydia hung up the phone with a loud m.


    Louis, still holding his phone, was lost in thought for a while before slowly regaining hisposure.


    Sharon walked up to Louis with a troubled expression. “Louis, did you see it? The way everyone looked


    at me just now, they were all looking down on me! And that Kelly, what is she so pleased about? She’ll


    have her share of misfortune sooner orter.”


    Louis, who had previously found Sharon’s temper cute, like watching a child throw a tantrum, now


    stared quietly at her.


    He suddenly felt that she was foolish. Could it be that when she saw Kelly in her eyes, all she could


    feel was jealousy in her heart? Why was she so


    shallow?


    Louis turned his head and decided not to pay attention to Sharon.


    Despite Sharon’s usualck of intelligence, she was particrly sensitive to Louis’ emotions. She


    immediately realized that he was not happy.

    She quickly came over and carefully tugged at his sleeve. “Louis, are you tired?”


    Her face was full of worry, and her tone was filled with self-me. “It’s all my fault. I can’t do anything


    well. I’ve troubled you.”


    Louis adjusted his tie and, with a tone of suppressed impatience, said, “Mother has arranged for you to


    meet the etiquette teacher.”


    Upon hearing this, Sharon’s face changed, and she looked at Louis in disbelief.


    Was he despising her? He knew that she hated those so-called aristocratic etiquettes. He knew that


    she loved freedom and did not want to be like those so-called noblewomen who had no thoughts of


    their own. She wanted to achieve her career. He had said that he would support her, but they had only


    been married for a short while. Had he forgotten his promise?


    Sharon suddenly let go of Louis, and a stubborn look appeared in her eyes as if she were a warrior


    fighting against feudal and malicious forces. “I won’t meet the etiquette teacher. If I ever learn etiquette,


    it will be for acting, not for those so-called social gatherings!”


    Louis was starting to have a headache. He did not expect Sharon to think this way. He rubbed his


    temples and was about to exin.


    Sharon had taken a step back and said each word with determination, “Louis, you said before that I am


    free to choose what I want to do. I like acting. I want to be an internationally renowned actor. I will


    never give up on this dream.”


    With that, she turned resolutely and walked away.
