Joanna was a little surprised to see Mr. Scotting over himself. If she hadn''t been able to clear her name today, her coboration with him would have been over. Mr. Scott''s arrival would only boost her fame even further.


    Natalie had always been her stepping stone.


    Thankfully, there were still media nearby to capture the moment Mr. Scott came to pick her up. She was about to hit it big.


    This Natalie was still as foolish and easy to manipte as ever.


    Joanna was ecstatic.


    "Mr. Scott, thank you foring. I appreciate you making the trip," Joanna said with a gentle smile. Seeing the smile in Mr. Scott''s eyes, she felt even more smug.


    Mr. Scott''s smile was meaningful. “Joanna, as long as the misunderstanding between you and your sister is cleared up, everything will be fine. You''re sisters, there''s no need to make things so ugly."


    Natalie saw the way Mr. Scott''s eyes lit up when he looked at Joanna. It was a ssic case of mutual interest, impossible to stop. She spoke first. "You''re right, Mr. Scott. Your name is legendary in the entertainment industry. It''s such an honor to finally meet you in person."


    "Don''t worry, those issues were just minor squabbles between us girls. It''s all sorted out now. My sister is so aplished now; she could crush me with a single word. Naturally, I wouldn''t dare to oppose her. Since you''re here to pick her up, I''ll leave her in your hands."


    Joanna watched Natalie''s brilliant smile, which seemed to make the rest of the world fade away.


    It was a beauty that cut to the bone, and Joanna was filled with jealousy.


    Natalie''s passive-aggressive words, both elevating and demeaning her, made her blood boil.


    Her sarcastic tone was infuriating, but she knew it was true-Natalie was exceptional, and she would never measure up.


    Mr. Scott was also momentarily dazed. He smiled and asked, "Ms. Sanders, have you ever considered acting? I could manage both of you sisters."


    Natalie was startled by the offer. She wouldn''t dare. This man was a predator.


    He was known for preying on young, beautiful women from the lower ss. She was actually looking for a chance to report him, but she needed solid evidence to bring him down.


    She smiled and shook her head. "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Scott, but my interests lie elsewhere. I prefer a more rxed lifestyle."


    Joanna seized the opportunity to


    add, "Mr. Scott, my sister can''t be an actress: She didn''t even graduate from high school. If her background were exposed, it would damage your reputation."


    Natalie chimed in with a smile, "That''s right, Mr. Scott. I''m just a country girl. I''m not cut out for the entertainment world. Please take good care of my sister, I''ll be going now."


    Mr. Scott smiled.


    I''ll


    "Of course, Ms.


    Sanders. Your background doesn''t matter. With your beauty, you could take the entertainment world by storm If you ever change your mind, you cane to me anytime I''ll always have a lead role waiting for you."


    Up close, he realized Natalie was far more beautiful than Joanna.


    Natalie''s beauty radiated from within.


    Joanna was stunned by his words.


    She had always known how beautiful Natalie was. In the past, she had constantly goaded Wendy into making sure Natalie dressed inly, never allowing her to outshine her.


    Wendy understood, so she always made Natalie dress in ordinary clothes and never bought her pretty dresses.


    That was how her beauty had been concealed. But now that Natalie was out of their control, her fashion sense was bing more stylish, and her beauty was impossible to hide.


    Joanna took a deep breath and changed the subject. "Mr. Scott, when can we sign the contract?"
