To be honest, Penny had never thought she would end up in the entertainment industry.

After sending that message, she felt really embarrassed.

It wasn't just that the chubby kid would actually respond to her messages—it was because he would show concern for how she had been doing lately.

After all, he had achieved great success and fame now. Penny could occasionally see posters of products he endorsed on the streets. You might even hear kids mentioning his name when students were on vacation.

He wasn't exactly a top-tier celebrity, but he was definitely well-known.

Who would have the time or interest to care about this Penny, who had faded into the crowd?

The three years of high school were one of the most significant periods in most people's lives.

A while ago, Penny and Cecilia came across a reunion of old friends at the restaurant when they went out to eat.

The owner mentioned it was a class reunion, with the people's average age being over 60.

    Of course, when it came to Bubbles, Penny currently felt quite relieved. The Walker family didn't lack money, so he didn't need to degrade himself for his career.He had a sunny and cheerful personality, being a straightforward guy who couldn't keep things to himself. He mentioned that he had never been bullied in his circle.Penny sighed, remarking that having connections and confidence really made a difference no matter what you were doing.Of course, her trust in Bubbles also stemmed from the friendship they built over those years as classmates.After tutoring Bubbles for over a year, a bond between teacher and student naturally developed. If she didn't have even this basic level of trust, Penny would have despised herself.After finishing their meal, both parties had pretty much reached a consensus.Penny and Cecilia had a general understanding of his progress over the past few years and their company's current state.After Bubbles signed the contract to join the industry, t

    Penny signed a ten-year contract with Bubbles' company.It might be due to her connection with Bubbles, or perhaps because she was attractive and easily recognizable on camera, but the company gave her a decent amount of resources.She couldn't compete with those big celebrities. But, compared to some artists who didn't even have a chance to be in the spotlight, Penny seemed to have quite a bit of access to resources.Her first assignment was a low-budget web series invested in by the company, where she played a supporting villain role, earning a pay of 140 thousand dollars.After splitting with the company and deducting taxes, she ended up with around 40 thousand dollars.She didn't have many scenes in the show and was with the crew for about a month. The production covered her meals and accommodation.In just over a month, she earned what she used to make in a year, and that was when she worked all year round without any days off, doing translation work every day.No wonder ev

    The cast wasn't entirely made up of professionally trained actors.The leads had some experience before, but they weren't very popular and only played minor roles in the past. This was their first time playing the main characters.The supporting actors were even less known.Naturally, Penny was a complete novice. Not only had she never acted before, but she was also entirely unfamiliar with the process.The other actors had some experience, but mostly in minor roles without much understanding of the industry's norms.There was someone who transitioned from being an internet celebrity, which brought some attention to the production.Despite that, she was down-to-earth and friendly, often buying treats like desserts and juice for everyone. The team really liked her.Since they were all around the same age, they got along very well.The director was also young. His main concern was to make this show as good as possible. Only after that did he think about whether he could make more

    Since Penny received a considerable amount of payment for her role, she no longer felt the need to make sacrifices.After the film crew wrapped up, she discussed moving with Cecilia.The unit in their small apartment in the urban village had indeed been tidied up nicely by them, but the fact remained that it was old.The upstairs and downstairs neighbors were all strangers. It was hard to feel at ease with all kinds of people living there.Even though public safety had improved significantly compared to the past, it was still important to remain cautious and vigilant.If people found out two young girls and an elderly woman lived here, it was inevitable that some people might start getting ideas.Not everyone in this world was a good person. Compulsory education wasn't accessible to everyone, either.Even those with advanced education might possess an ugly heart beneath their exterior.Additionally, the hallways in the apartment were narrow and dim, with no elevators.It was d

    Cecilia gave a cold snort from the side. Because they were very close, she didn't hold back from joking around."How dare you compare yourself to Penny? She's been attending classes every day for the past three months, figuring out how to act, and carefully selecting roles that suit her."But you've always been so busy with everything else. If you can still be as good as her, then you must be born for this industry."Bubbles scratched his head. "That's true."The class instructor also laughed and praised Penny while also reminding Bubbles to stay diligent.He said, "The entertainment industry nowadays is fickle, unlike in the past when actors were grounded in their work."Nowadays, people join this line of work just to gain fame. Popularity is the key, and acting skills have become secondary."Bubbles, although you're popular now, at least you have the heart to learn. You need to work hard in the future."You all need to remember that popularity is temporary. There will always

    Of course, Penny did not get caught up in it. She still knew what she was doing.Compared to the dream-like world of acting, Penny had no complaints about her current situation.She had chosen a new family for herself, and they got along really well.In the past, her family considered her a jinx and couldn't even be bothered to stay in touch. She used to receive nothing but sarcasm and mockery from them.Now that they weren't in contact with one another, it was actually quite nice.For Penny, this kind of life was pleasant.A week after having that meal with Bubbles, Penny received a new script.There were quite a few scripts handed to her, but none of them were for high-profile projects. They were all low-budget productions, which meant her pay wouldn't be very high.However, compared to an average person working a nine-to-five job, it was still much better.Aside from winning the lottery, Penny couldn't think of any way for an ordinary person to become wealthy overnight.An

    Penny was rational.She wasn't as pessimistic as Cecilia about having fewer scenes and lower pay. She thought the character she was playing was genuinely well-designed.She was also well aware of the shortcomings of her physical appearance.Even though everyone said she was beautiful, her striking appearance also attracted criticism.In the industry, there was a saying that appearance should immediately appeal to the audience.Even if someone was extremely attractive, they were destined not to become very popular if they didn't make a good first impression. It was especially so if people had to make an effort to get to know them better.Some celebrities may not be particularly attractive, but they could gain many fans as soon as they made a public appearance, all because they were dressed in cute and sunny ways.It was similar to Jessica Brown, a rising star who had recently become very popular.Although she had the influential Winston family's support, she wouldn't have skyroc

    The large amount of attention brought both positive and negative consequences.The good news was that Penny's name had quickly become known by most people.But the bad news was that most of the comments about Penny came from Bubbles' female fans, so one could imagine the amount of criticism.Although Bubbles was not an idol, he debuted through a talent show and carried some of that idol vibe.For fans like these, an idol dating someone was almost like a crime. If it got exposed, it would become an unforgivable offense.There were also some onlookers just there for entertainment. Some praised Penny for being beautiful, saying she would definitely become popular in the future.On the other hand, some were malicious, accusing her of excessive photo editing and saying she looked artificial.Their comments suggested she had undergone a lot of plastic surgery, and they wondered how many procedures she must have had.Bubbles also received a lot of criticism, but it was more out of fru

    Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production

    "Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar

    All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s

    Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu

    Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made

    "I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re

    Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia.

    Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o

    In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
