Chapter 2197


    ‘That''s what people in my parents’ circle and other outsiders refer to me as," Isabel said with a candid smile. "But as far as I''m


    concerned, you''re still my agent and you don''t have to treat me any differently, so don’t worry about these titles."


    Unbeknownst to her, Amanda’s hand was quaking with excitement. She was this close to dropping the phone.


    How could she possibly not be concerned?


    The actress she had been working for as an agent for thest five years turned out to be the rumored daughter of the wealthiest


    family in Westchester!


    As much as equality in society was valued, one could not deny that there were clear distinctions between social sses. She


    had run through the gauntlet in the entertainment industry and built a solid reputation for herself, meeting countless wealthy


    people in the course of her career. Despite all that, it was nigh impossible for her toe into contact with someone of Isabel''s


    social ss! She came from such a background that even the wealthiest businessman had to bend over backward in her


    presence.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Amanda took a deep breath to calm herself. "| cannot believe you''ve kept it a secret for so long."


    Isabel exined, "I just wanted to be a normal actress, so | didn''t want anyone to know about my background.”


    If not for the circumstances, she still would not have disclosed her true identity.


    Amanda sighed exasperatedly again before expressing jovially, "Well, anyway, there are no more false ims and rumors about


    you online anymore. All those media outlets have issued formal apologies for defaming you back then. Several of them have


    even personally contacted me to ask you for forgiveness."


    Isabel said bluntly, "| won''t forgive them."


    If circumstances were different and she did note from such an affluent background, there was not a chance that they would


    bend over backward and put on a sincere show of asking for forgiveness. If anything, they would double down and continue


    ndering her with everything they have, such was the ruthless nature of the entertainment business!


    Amanda agreed, "That''s exactly what | was thinking as well! Back then, they would not help us no matter how many times |


    asked. | even began begging at one point! Well, serves them right!"


    Isabel expressed sincerely, ‘Thank you for your hard work, Amanda."


    "You don''t have to thank me. I''m just doing my job." Amanda said warmly, "Also, we''ve been getting a lot of endorsements from


    all sorts of differentpanies. One of them has an event tomorrow. Do you want to..."


    ‘Turn them all down."


    "Huh?"


    “Other than acting and some features on variety shows for publicity, I''m not interested in any other offers."


    All this time, her only passion was in acting. Now that her true identity had been exposed to the world, she no longer needed to


    worry about taking on various endorsements and contracts. Besides, she would much rather save them for her fellow actors who


    needed them for their ie.


    Amanda hesitated briefly before agreeing, "Alright, I''ll pass on the message.”


    "By the way, Amanda, I''m going to double yourmission going forward. You can just take it from the sry | get from the roles


    I star in and variety show features. Also, | have an unupied vi in Westchester nearby Cloudy Heart Lake, so I''m going to


    hand you the keys when | get back to Westchester. It''s yours now."


    She knew that Amanda had been dedicating the majority of her time over thest five years to managing her affairs. If she was


    going to stop entertaining any endorsements and contracts, that would mean Amanda would lose out on a sizeable chunk of


    ie. She had to do right by Amanda and make sure that she had a stable ie stream.


    Besides, she had more than enough money topensate for the losses.


    Amanda was taken aback by this offer. It took her a while to process this information, then she began to stammer, "No... no


    need, Isabel. | get that you’re being kind, but..."


    "It’s settled! Anyway, you must have a lot of work to do, so


    I''ll get out of your hair."


    With that, she hung up.


    Her phone was still being bombarded by countless messages.


    Most of them were people she knew in the industry, congratting her on the swift upturn of events. Many of them expressed


    surprise at her revealed identity, and their tones were all friendly and heartfelt.


    It was aplete 180 from the hostility she received when she was cklisted.


    Ramona, with whom she had not been in touch for some time, also sent a message to the group chat with her and Triss.


    "Oh my God, Isabel, you were the daughter of the Carters this entire time?"


    "| can’t believe it. You''re a big shot!"


    ‘To be honest, | just got caught up on thetest events and found out about everything that''s been happening to youtely. I''ve


    been so busy filming and our crew doesn''t allow us to use our phones, so I''ve been out of touch for so long. | can''t believe


    people were so terrible to you!"


    These messages were sent roughly half an hour ago, which more or less aligned with the timeline of when the official letter was


    just posted on Carter Corporation''s official page.


    Isabel briefly nced over the message before proceeding to quit the group chat without any hesitation. After that, she sent a


    private message to Triss. It was a sticker of a cartoon figure shing a smile.


    Ever since Decker and his group began targeting her, she had very limited support from the people around her. Save for Amanda


    and Ca who were stressing their minds over her wellbeing, Triss was the only other person who had publicly defended her and


    expressed solidarity. Even when she was subjected to countless ridicule and insults, she refused to take down her posts.
