Chapter 74
“Yeah, it’s beautiful.”
Her thoughts shattered, Xanthea snapped the lid shut. Was it just a coincidence? They barely met in their previous lives. How could he know her so well?
“By the way. Dad, Mom, Ethan, Samuel and Miny, I have something to announce.”
Christopher asked. “What is it?”
Tve decided to enter the showbiz”
Thath”
As she spoke the room fell into shocked silence, especially Miranda, who dropped her fork with a clatter.
She slowly lifted her head, disbelief etched on her face.
What was she up to now? Hadn’t she always talked about pursuing a career in scientific research? Why the sudden switch to the showbiz? if she entered the showbiz, what would happen to her?
For years, she’d been leveraging her connections with the Nightshade family and Oliver to pull some strings at Oli–hea Media. If Xanthea made her debut
Oliver who treated her like his own daughter, would surely put the company’s best teams and resources at Xanthea’s disposal, leaving nothing for her. Even if there were “leftovers“, they’d only be the scraps that Xanthea didn’t want!
Ethan looked at her sterly, “Xan, haven’t you always wanted to be a chemist? The Scientific Research Institute of Crestwood Hall Academy has already sent you an invitation. Why switch to the showbiz all of a sudden?”
Susanna chimed in, “Yeah, Xan, has Oliver been filling your head with ideas again? Don’t listen to him. You’ve got to stick to your goals and not be fade.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ethan Mom, I havent given up on my dreams. I just don’t want to enter the institute as a specially invited student. At the end of the year they’re recruiting for a top–notch research team and it’s gonna be a tough selection process. I plan to apply then. In the meantime,
wanna try my hand at the showbiz for six months.”
wholeheartedly support this!” Samuel grinned, serving her a slice of steak.
“Why buy yourself in a research institute? You’d disappear for months on end, and I’d miss you like crazy! But if you’re in the showbiz, not only can I see you at home, but I can also catch you on the news and TV. Remember your stint on The Masked Singer“? It was a hit! Loads of my colleagues are your fans. They even asked my secretary for your autograph!”
“see” Christopher looked at her, noticing the serious expression in her eyes, “You’ve always been decisive. Since you’ve thought this through, I won’t say much. With your uncle and Oli hea Media on your side, I’m not worried.”
“But” Miranda picked up her utensils, looking worriedly at Xanthea, “You said the research team would have strict evaluations. Won’t taking a six–month break jeopardize your studies?”
“Huh?” Xanthea blinked, “Well, even when I’m not ‘on break, I’m not exactly studying, am I?”
Laughter erupted around the room, even as Miranda, who had failed the threshold to Kingswood Academy three times, clenched her utensils, her face turning a shade paler.
Was she mocking her? Not only had she stolen her championship on “The Masked Singer“, but now she was also after her resources in the showbiz. It was too much!
She must not let her enter the industry. She just couldn’t!
“Xan,” before Matthew could speak, Xanthea cut him off, “Matt, you don’t have objections, right? Because you said you’d support whatever I love”
Matthew was instantly silenced by her words, swallowing back his concerns.
Truth be told, he didn’t want Xan to enter the industry. She was outstanding, and gorgeous. Once she stood before the cameras, her brilliance would be magnified, attracting all sorts of unwanted attention.
