Chapter 848


    Jenna was suddenly struck by a shocking thought. Was her sister Sylvia... but she held it back.


    Her heart pounded wildly, as if it could burst out of her throat at any moment.


    She swallowed hard. What if... what if it was true?


    No, impossible. How could her sister be Sylvia?


    Sylvia was so powerful and perfect, how could she have such a useless little sister like herself?


    Jenna instinctively rejected and denied the thought.


    She had never helped her sister except to hold her back, always making her help herself. She felt


    ashamed and terrible for even having such an absurd and terrifying idea.


    Jenna spat on herself fiercely and lowered her head in sadness.


    If only she could be Sylvia''s real little sister, that would be so happy...


    Cody and Sylvia were caught off guard when Mrs. Wright''s hypnosis unexpectedly broke down,


    restoring her memory.


    Tiana rushed over in the afternoon upon hearing the news, embracing Mrs. Wright together after years


    apart.


    "I know you forgot about me," Tiana said through tears. "I knew that was your pain all along so I never


    dared to bring it up or contact you too much."


    "Tiana, it''s my fault," Mrs. Wright cried as tears fell onto the bed sheets below them both. "I''m just too


    stupid to forget Monica."


    Tiana supported Mrs. Wright whoy half-sitting on the hospital bed with concern written all over face.


    "How did you get poisoned? If your body fails now, what will happenter?"


    "Why didn''t you tell me about this big thing happening at home?" Tiana continued with worry etched


    across every feature of hers. "If there is nothing going on at home, then I cane here every day to


    apany you!"


    Mrs. Wright shook slowly, shaking her head. "It''s my fault for being stupid enough to believe Vita."


    She recounted Vita''s story with great sadness while Tiana stared wide-eyed in shock. "How can there


    be such a vicious girl? It''s too much."


    "Anyway," Mrs. Wright held Tiana''s hand tightly,"she got what she deserved."


    "When I''m better we''ll go visit Monica together... She must feel very lonely underground..."


    "Okay," Tiana nodded tearfully as memories of their youth flooded back into view before they parted


    ways again for now..


    She looked up at Sylvia, who was sitting on the nearby sofa. "Thank goodness, Monica''s daughter is


    still with us. Sylvia is so talented, she really outshines her mother and inherits Monica''s perfect genius


    genes."


    Mrs. Wright couldn''t help but respond, "Monica was also a genius like Sylvia back then and was


    famous in our school. She not only had good grades but also could draw, dance and do experiments.


    At that time, she participated in some national universitypetitions and won first ce."


    "It was a physicspetition. The conclusion she drew from the experiment shocked the academic


    circle; it was amazing!" Tiana continued Mrs. Wright''s words, "Monica seemed to have a brain even


    more brilliant than a genius; unfortunately, beauty fades."


    "Fortunately, Sylvia is also a genius," Mrs. Wright said proudly with her face beaming.


    "You think I''m stupid? I forgot about Monica before but now I have to call Sylvia my sister too? Isn''t that


    messing up our family tree?"


    Tiana''s furrowed brows gradually rxed as her eyes sparkled with joy; instantly she raised an


    enchanting smile. "What should I say about you?"


    Whileughing at herself Tiana looked at Sylvia. "Sylvia, she''s your mother''s best friend calling her


    sister doesn''t seem quite appropriate, right?"


    Sylvia shrugged indifferently. "I''m used to it; suddenly changing what we call each other makes me feel


    ufortable."


    "It''s just one name or another," Mrs. Wright said emotionally moved by what they were saying as tears


    streamed down her face again. "Look at this lovely child of yours! How can anyone not love her?"


    "Too bad for your younger sister..." Mrs. Wright mentioned Sylvia''s younger sister.


    "I always believe that my mother and sister haven''t really passed away yet... maybe they''re living


    happily somewhere in this world," said Sylvia with a slight smile on her lips carrying hopefulness on her


    face which appeared so natural andfortable under the light of the hospital roommp- like an


    exquisite jade lotus blooming inside its light.


    For some time, no one spoke until Jonathan brought several gifts into the ward, sat down on the sofa,


    carelessly saying. "Mrs. Wright, these are some supplements for you to take care of your health."


    Jonathan slowly edged his way towards Sylvia, speaking to Mrs. Wright but with a grin on his face as


    he looked at Sylvia. "Hey, boss, I heard your movie is about to be released?"


    Sylvia nced at him nonchntly. "Yeah, we''re in post-production and waiting for approval before


    setting a release date."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely buy out the theater and support you," Jonathan patted his chest confidently.


    "But boss, how about letting me make a cameo appearance when you shoot the next one? I''ve always


    wanted to try acting."


    Although he was an e-sports yer, he had always harbored a desire to act.


    He just never had the opportunity.


    "Sure," Sylvia nodded her head. "I actually nned on incorporating e-sports themes into my next film."


    "What?" Jonathan was stunned - did he just luck out?


    "You can have a small role," Sylvia smirked. "But let''s wait until ''The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady'' is


    released before we start nning for the next one."


    She had this n all along - ''The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady'' was meant to showcase Poppy and


    Honey as dual female leadspeting for awards.


    After it premiered she would submit it for consideration at the Peony Film Festival.


    The Peony Film Festival was highly regarded within their industry - winning an award there would


    increase an actor''s value exponentially while also solidifying their status within the industry through


    recognition of their talent.


    If Poppy won this award, she would be the youngest actress ever awarded Best Actress in


    history!


    Sylvia thought excitedly but didn''t say anything aloud since both Poppy and Honey winning awards


    would be great news regardless of who took home what prize.


    Honey''s acting skills were rapidly improving under Brock''s tutge and she even managed to shed her


    signature physical characteristics that once defined her image.


    Sylvia couldn''t help but feel hopeful about whaty ahead.


    At Ritter Vi, everything felt lifeless since Ashlyn returned from Graley Piano Competition empty-


    handed; everyone in the Ritter family seemed weighed down by some inexplicable depression,


    especially Mrs. Ritter who wore a scowl every day like everyone owed her millions of dors!


    "Crash!" Another cup shattered apanied by Mrs. Ritter''s irritable yelling. "Are you clumsy? Can''t


    even brew tea properly! What kind of tea is this? From years ago? So bitter!"


    "Brew it again!"


    The maid trembled in fear, quickly squatting down to clean up the broken ss while constantly


    apologizing, "I''m sorry, madam. I''ll go make a new one right away."


    She was so nervous that she cut her hand on the ss shards and didn''t even feel the pain as fresh


    blood oozed out. She hurriedly picked up the pieces and ran into the kitchen.


    Ashlyn had just returned from a party with some socialites when she saw Mrs. Ritter''s ugly face as


    soon as she walked in.


    "Mom, what''s wrong?"


    "What else could it be? That bitch Sylvia!" Mrs. Ritter eximed angrily. "She submitted her movie for


    review and it''s causing a stir on Twitter."


    "So what if she did? It has nothing to do with us," Ashlyn said as she changed her shoes and sat down


    on the couch with her bag.


    Mrs. Ritter''s face darkened instantly. "With her fame, if it gets approved for release, she''ll gain more


    attention again and who knows how much money she''ll make."


    Ashlyn blinked. "Mom... you''re not thinking of making a movie too, are you?"


    "You mean my little aunt?" Ashlyn swallowed nervously before continuing," Mom, although my little


    aunt has some power now but I don''t think this is such a good idea? We shouldn''t involve our entire


    family..."


    Abduh Mcguire was Mr. Mcguire''s cousin but he was considered part of the Mcguire family''s


    coteral branch. He never expected himself to have quite some talent which allowed him to progress


    smoothly along his career path. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been able to marry Ashlyn''s aunt, Ashly

    Watching Mrs. Ritters back emitting strong resentment even though it was just from behind made


    Ashyln feel worried.


    Every time they shed with Sylvia, the Ritters always lost miserably. This time ... what would happen?


    In the night sky where moonlight faded away slowly like smoke while stars were sparse, the whole


    world seemed asleep.


    Sylvia came out of bathroom after taking shower; her skin was fair and tender while wet hair draped


    over shoulders. She used towel to wipe them off while walking around.


    Franklin was reading a book when he heard some movement and looked up to see Sylvia. He couldn''t


    help but feel his throat rolling and a hidden me in his eyes.


    Brock''s voice sounded helpless. "Something happened with the movie."


    "The movie? How could something happen?" While Sylvia answered the call, Franklin took over drying


    her hair with gentle movements, patiently wiping away the wet strands.
