“Who was beside Nina? I never see her.”


    “Would she be a new actress of Nina’s studio? She was fabulous. We’ll have apetitive rival.”


    Gracie’spanions snapped her out of her fanciful dream. She shifted her gaze from Nina to Anya.


    She didn’t recognize Anya immediately, but the wine almost spilled from the ss when she realized it was Anya standing next to Nina.


    Howe?


    She knew Anya came home, but she did not see her name on the attendance list for the banquet tonight.


    And Anya hadn’t be engaged in showbiz. Why did shee? And howe she went here with the famous Nina? She couldn’t bear it.


    She could just look up to Nina in the distance, but Anya could befriend Nina. She thought Anya did it because of pure dumb luck.


    “Gracie.” A starlet next to Gracie patted her and said curiously, “I think she looks like you pretty much.”


    Gracie panicked; she never talked to anyone about her rtionship with Anya because it would be like admitting her mom was a mistress if she did.


    So Gracie was scared to hear the starlet talk about their simrity.


    She looked like Anya indeed, after all, they had the same father; but Anya was much more beautiful because she had a beautiful mother, Lorie.


    Gracie never admitted Anya was more beautiful than her, but that was the truth.


    Gracie’s mother Luna was less attractive but she was good at flirting, which helped her have control over the new-rich Morgan.


    “But if she works for Nina, doesn’t she stand in your way considering your simr appearances?” The starlet sensed nothing wrong and continued.


    Gracie tightened her lips hard and looked at Anya not far from her with aplex mood.


    Gracie had no idea how well Anya got along with Nina and the other girls because Anya seemed to have little acquaintance with them before going abroad.


    She began to doubt whether or not Anya would engage in showbiz.


    But that did not suit her major. And Anya and her mother did not want to get involved in showbiz although lots of brokers invited Anya.


    Gracie knew that because she secretly kept an eye on their life before her mother’s affair with Morgan was exposed.


    Gracie and her mother were very jealous when they learned that talent scouts kept inviting Anya to try showbiz. They always want to be in showbiz because they thought being stars could bring much focus and quick money, which was much more interesting than working routinely.


    So they thought it was unfair that Anya, as a girl who showed no interest in getting into showbiz, was constantly chased by talent scouts, while no one contacted them though they wanted to get into showbiz badly.


    Such aparison made Luna and Gracie more envious of Anya.


    Luna asked Gracie to learn folk instruments whether toy a foundation for Gracie’s imaginary star career or topete with Anya and Lorie privately. Her young brother was no exception.


    Despite all Luna’s efforts, including getting Gracie into all kinds ofpetitions, buying the opportunities to have Gracie appear at some parties of TV stations, and using some connections to get her engaged in showbiz, nopany wanted to sign with Gracie.


    Luna asked the reasons, and one of them told her that a famous directormented like this after seeing Gracie’s photos and videos – ‘She looks not bad, but shecks a fascinating character, which determines she wouldn’t be promising in showbiz.’


    But they didn’t know that the director actually said harsh words about their moral quality. The person from whom they got the information retold the director’s words in a euphemistic way considering Luna gave him so much money.


    Gracie couldn’t keep sitting there remembering her past things and the miserable life caused by Anya.


    “I have to go to the bathroom,” she said to starlets around her.


    She then left holding her skirt.


    She needed to call her mother to ask if she deeply investigated Anya and knew what Anya was up to. Did Anya want to fight with her in showbiz?


    If that were the case, she would definitely lose because Anya beat her by appearance which showbiz highly valued.


    Anya came to her before she could leave. She stood with vignce.


    She had a bad feeling seeing Anya’sughter.


    “Long time no see, my dear sister,” Anya said to her with a smile.


    Her face became pale all of a sudden as she stared at Anya, frozen there.


    “Dear sister?” The starlets around her were astonished.


    She looked at Anya, her eyes imploring. She wished Anya could keep their rtionship a secret on this asion.


    If Anya exposed it, her mother’s identity as a mistress woulde to light. With such rigor of the management of showbiz, she would be then boycotted, which meant all she had achieved would go up in smoke.


    Gracie felt heartbroken at this thought.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    She was just one step away from bing a famous star.


    But Anya would not stop as Gracie wished.


    Over these years, Gracie had pestered her again and again by texting her or calling her.


    Luna had given her much trouble.


    And Luna even attempted to murder Lorie though Lorie gave up on Morgan.


    Thus, there was no reason for Anya to stop.


    “Didn’t Gracie tell you that she and I have the same father? She is actually younger than me by two or three months,” Anya said clearly word by word, looking at Gracie’s imploring eyes.


    Then, it was deadly silent.


    People began to exchange shocked looks after knowing it. Based on the age difference between Anya and Gracie, Anya’s father cheated on Lorie and the mistress was Gracie’s mother…
