Upon seeing how calm she was, Roger’s anger instantly flared up. “Do you think this is a small
matter?”
“I told you before that I don’t agree with you entering the entertainment industry. I can’t do anything to
help you if someone bullies you!” “I don’t need your help!” Stella cut him off. “I just hope that you can
take care of yourself. It’s my choice to act, and I’m here to tell you, not ask for your permission. Even
though you’re my brother, I wish you could respect my choices.” Roger wasn’t a calm person; his
attitude was a little aggressive. The minute class ended, he pulled Stella outside. “Why did you change
your mind to become an actress? Don’t you know how hard it is to be
one?!”
“Do you know that our school also offers film and television majors? People talk about the slightly
prettier-than-average girls. I don’t want you to live that kind of life.” Stella let go of his hand.
Seeing that there was no one around, she sucked in a deep breath and said, “Every industry has its
difficulties. I’ve thought it through and no matter what, I will bear whatever negative comment that gets
thrown at me.”
“But I don’t want you to suffer!” He subconsciously clenched his fist, feeling powerless. “You really
made up your mind?” He knew that once she made her decision it was hard to change her mind. She
had been that way since she was a kid. Stella nodded. “I have the script with me. Of course, I’m
serious about this.” Roger suddenly stared at her for a long time before he said, “Before this, you said
you went on a business trip. Was that a lie? You’ve decided to join the entertainment industry for a long
time, haven’t you?”
She was here today to tell him the truth.
There weren’t any secrets between them, but because of Weston, she had to keep lying.
“I’m sorry, Roger. I just don’t want you to worry.”
He didn’t say a word, a massive sense of frustration and failure enveloping him. He suddenly laughed
at himself. “I’m really useless, right? I only trouble you and can’t help you with anything.”
“Don’t talk like that. We’re family.”
“Exactly We’re a family. We should help each other. Why am I always troubling you?”
Stella instantly frowned. “Roger, don’t talk like that…” Right after she finished her words, footsteps
approached from the other end of the corridor. “Is Robb here?” The teacher from the school office
rushed over, knocked on the door of the classroom, and glanced inside, “Is Robb here? Come out for a
while please.” In the corridor, Roger let go of Stella and turned to the teacher. “I’m here. What’s the
matter?” “Robb, you’re here?” The teacher walked to him. “I have some things to discuss with you.
Come with me to the office.”
Afterward, she glanced at the woman next to Roger and said, “Get to class. Don’t stay in the corridor!”
“She’s my sister,” Roger explained. “Your sister?” the teacher fixed her glasses. Stella didn’t know if
she was imagining things, but she could feel the teacher sizing her up. “Since your sister is here. She
should come along too.”
Not only was Roger stunned but Stella was as well. “Me?”
What did this have to do with her?
The teacher didn’t want to elaborate more and simply said, “Just follow me and you’ll know.”
