Chapter 322
“In the future, I’ll always stand by your side and try to avoid contact with Ada.”
Silvia remained silent for a while before she nodded and said, “Alright. I hope you’ll keep your word.“.
With that, the two of them reconciled. However, they both knew that it was impossible back to the way
things were. There was also an unspoken agreement that they would not mention the matter again.
In the following week, Silvia got busy working on designs with Rita. She would often leave home early
and returnte.
She only knew what had happened to I when Scarlett called. The film executives had terminated
I’s contract, and there were rumors online about her being a sugar baby.
“Miss Pond, things have been rough for I. If you have some free time, I was hoping that you could
come over andfort her.
After she got the address of I’s hotel, Silvia hurried over.
I was surprised to see her. She frowned and asked, “Did Scarlett send you here?”
Silvia nodded. “Don’t me her. If I hadn’t been too caught up with work and missed the updates on
Twitter, I would’vee earlier.”
“I’m fine. Scarlett tends to blow things out of proportion.”
Silvia ignored her excuses and sat beside her. “Why did they suddenly terminate your contract?”
I shrugged. “Snow’s boyfriend is the main investor in this movie. He threatened to pull out unless I
was reced. The director agreed to his demands since he was facing a lot of pressure.”
She had encountered such situations before gaining fame. But back then, she yed supporting roles
that could be easily reced.
She did not expect to face the same thing once she was famous.

Silvia frowned. “What’s the deal with the online gossip about you being a sugar baby?”
I’s expression changed after she heard the question. She clenched her teeth and exined, It’s all
because of David. He came over to check on me after he learned that I was injured. A reporter took
photos of us and started spreading rumors online.
“But that reporter was probably afraid of David retaliating, so he pixted our faces in the photos.
Despite that, people still found out that it was me.”
Seeing how angry she was, Silvia remained silent for a few seconds.
“What does David n to do?”
輯
“What else can he do? If hees forward, it’ll confirm that he’s the person in the photo. I don’t intend
to fuss about this. The hype will die down after some time, and no one will pay attention to it anymore.”
“Alright. I was worried that you might be upset about it on my way here. Now that I see you’re okay, I
feel relieved.”
I wore a confident smile and said, “Don’t worry. I climbed up from the bottom. How can such a trivial
matter bring me down?”
Silvia smiled too. “Well, you have some free time now, so you can treat it as a vacation. You haven’t
been able to rest properly in the past few years.”
I shook her head. “ording to my mother, my brother wants to buy a house because he’s getting
married soon. She asked me to help him pay for it. It just so happens that I turned down a TV series
due to scheduling conflicts with ‘A Thousand Years.‘ Since I’m not in the movie anymore, I n to
ept the TV series.”
Silvia frowned. “Isn’t the money that you give them every year enough?”
Although I was an actress, most of the money she earned from filming went to her family. As a
result, she only had a few hundred thousand dors left.

“My brother’s girlfriend wants to buy a house in Imperial City, and she has her eyes set on a detached
vi. It costs over fifty million.”
“I, I think you should stop giving money to your family. Ever since you won Best Actress, you’ve
given them most of the money you’ve earned. In the past, they were just like any other regr family,
but they’ve never thanked you. Now, they’re asking you to buy a house for your brother’s wedding as if
it’s normal. They don’t treat you as a family member at all. They only treat you as a cash cow.”
Silvia never nned to tell I these things. After all, she was just an outsider, and I had to face the
truth herself.
To her surprise, it looked like I needed a reality check.
