Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 18

The second son of the Brooke family said, ‘Star. You might as well give up: you can’t win. It’s clearly written in the agreement, only if you win the Best Actress on your own without exposing your real identity and without using any resources from our family, that counts as a win You’ve got no background, no connections, and no capital, how are you going to make a splash in the entertainment industry? If you surrender now, Ill fly over and pick you up right away!“]

If it was fishing once a week, she could tolerate it; but dad fished every day in rain or sunshine And He never caught anything! Talk about boring to death!

Dad loved her very much, so of course he wouldn’t let her marry a man he didn’t like, but that man took this seriously and had been haunting her like a nightmare.
