She quit the music lessons arranged by the company after a few classes and started demanding to form a team.
The Media Mogul’s company is filled with talented people, graduates from prestigious schools abroad, geniuses from a young age.
Yet, for my sister, they had to write songs for her to choose from and endure her insults: “I’m a phenomenal teenage idol now. No one would care about your garbage if it wasn’t under my name. You’re all living off me. I’m the backbone of this team, and you’re overpaid!”
But her popularity was overwhelming, and the agency could only persuade the team to tolerate her unreasonable demands. My sister was smug, often messaging me to ask how I was doing, wondering if I was crying every day.
At a Charity Gala we were both invited to, she saw me looking perfectly fine and even more radiant, and she instantly got angry. “Nora Bennett, you’re still alive?
Did you rent or steal this dress? It reeks of desperation.” I smiled and corrected her, “Sorry, I’m now called Nora Bennett.”
My sister acted like she heard the funniest joke, her eyes full of ridicule. “You think being adopted makes you a princess? You’ll probably go home and continue washing dishes. I’m sure Madam Daphne has been giving you a hard time. The worst is yet to come.”
Just then, Madam Daphne finished her conversation with some ladies and walked towards us. I was about to greet her when my sister suddenly grabbed my arm. She pulled me back so hard that I almost tripped over my elaborate gown.
She then cozied up to Madam Daphne and sweetly said, “Hello, Madam, I’m the girl who saved your husband. I’m Lydia Bennett. If it weren’t for my sister stopping me, I would have been your daughter.”
She put on a look of deep regret.
“Sigh, my sister always wanted to be adopted by a wealthy family. She almost got together with a very rich man who visited the orphanage, not caring about his age…”
Seeing Madam Daphne’s expressionless face, she thought she had successfully aligned with Madam Daphne, who disliked me.
She immediately began to berate me with increasing viciousness. “I’ve always disapproved of my sister’s behavior!
I’m nothing like her. I never covet other people’s things, nor would I take over someone else’s space and shamelessly laze around! I’m entering Hollywood to work for Bennett Corporation, so Madam, feel free to throw any resources my way. We’re all family.”
She thought these words would win Madam Daphne’s favor. But to her surprise, Madam Daphne took my hand, looking at me with love and warmth.
“Nora, aren’t you cold wearing so little? Don’t get caught up in looking good and freeze yourself. I’ll have someone bring you a jacket right away.”
Mom?! Lydia Bennett was stunned, as if struck by lightning, upon hearing this unfamiliar term. At this point, people began to gather around, and Madam Daphne announced loudly, “Everyone knows I’ve been seeking medical help for years without success.
Now that heaven has sent Nora to business and in life.”

blessing. I hope that in the future, everyone will look after my daughter both in
The elegantly dressed ladies chimed in support: “Oh,
course, I’ve heard your adopted daughter is extraordinary, making big deals right from
the start.”
“Truly, like father, like daughter. Miss Bennett really takes after you and Mr. Bennett.” “I see a resemblance between Miss Bennett’s features and yours, Madam. What a fate! Haha.”
“Two great beauties, we’ll definitely support Miss Bennett wholeheartedly!”
Just like in the past life, at that gala, I was surrounded by people handing me business cards, while my sister stood in the outermost corner, ignored by al!.
Not only that, but from this day on, my sister was blacklisted by Madam Daphne.
The agency soon terminated her contract, citing her inability to deliver songs and neglecting her work, and demanded compensation.
In both my past and present lives, Madam Daphne left her no room for retreat: “I never liked that girl from the moment I saw her. She dares to bully my people? She’s asking for it.” She even released my sister’s scandals, like her diva behavior, smoking, and drinking, online, causing a public uproar.
[Oh, turns out she’s just a little punk. I thought she was some genius girl.]
