Then Dad and Carter tried to talk her out of it.
Still nothing.
That’s when Mom lost her shit.
I almost burst out laughing when Fern told me
this.
In their eyes, Delilah was a brilliant pianist, a
freaking prodigy. At the very least, she’d
become a world–renowned musician.
Instead, she chose the one thing they hated
most.
Now, their business partners would have
something to gossip about.
And those two cared about their image more
than anything.

Their precious gem was throwing her life away.
How could they ever love her the same?
Just like they never loved the ugly, awkward me
with only a high school education.
Delilah’s path to stardom wasn’t smooth.
At first, she used her “rich girl with a dream” persona to build hype.
But there were too many of those in Hollywood.
The internet didn’t care.
They pumped tons of money into her marketing,
and it went nowhere.
She didn’t want to start with small roles.
Instead, she went on a bunch of no–name
reality shows.
After six months, she was still a nobody.
く
But then she found her secret weapon.
On one of the shows, Delilah connected with a
newbie actor who’s also hot as hell.
They started faking a relationship, buying likes,
buying followers and trending topics.
It was a genius plan to get more and more
exposure.
Even I noticed the hashtags when I was on
TikTok.
It was clear that the public loves them!
She finally got what she wanted: fans and fame.
But every rose has its thorn.
Delilah was engaged to a boy since she was a
child.

His name is Shawn, and he’s supposed to be in charge of the Smith Company one day.
Everyone thinks that my adoptive family is so
lucky.
However, Shawn’s grandma had a different
thought in mind.
Delilah is having a love affair with someone, so
she is really pissed off and is currently in the
hospital.
The first thing that she did when she woke up is
to make Shawn end the engagement between
him and Delilah.
Fern said that nobody in the house is in a good
mood because of this. Delilah is scared to go
home because of this problem.
Lucy told her to move out and find a new place
to live.

I understand why Mom and Dad are furious.

Smith and my adoptive family has a partnership
in business.
If this issue continues, it will be hard for both
sides to work together.
I transferred Fern a lot of money and told her to
find a better place to live.
She and Lucy are frugal. I’m worried that they
won’t use the money.
It’s really important that girls should feel safe
wherever they go.
The screen shows that Fern is still typing, but
she’s not sending any messages.
I know that she’s ashamed to accept this.
Then, I told her that I’m planning to go back to
<
my family when the semester ends and that I
need help finding a place to stay.
It’s the perfect time to go back home and visit
them.
When I got to the mansion, Dad and Mom were
sipping tea in the living room.
Their eyes widened when they saw me.
