Chapter 918

Katie stood there, feeling so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear. Especially since Carolyn had stopped treating her as kindly as before ever since they had their falling out. Before, Carolyn would always pull strings for her and those investors would give her a little bit of respect because of Carolyn's influence.

But now... she realized that Kareem was completely unreliable. She couldn't believe that she used to trust his words and think that Carolyn really didn't like her, looked down on her, and had ulterior motives towards her.

When she really did have a falling out with Carolyn, Katie was dumbfounded. All those promises Kareem made to take care of her, make the Mcguire family support her more and make the company favor her were all lies.

If it wasn't for Carolyn lending a hand in helping Katie navigate through the entertainment industry before this point in time, there's no way Katie could have achieved what she has today - all these resources and status? It'd be nothing but a pipe dream!

This time around when filming this web drama series where Katie managed to snag the female lead role by pushing aside the original actress with some private funds from herself (which caused quite some pain), it was all thanks to her sister-in-law Carolyn who paved the way for everything.

Now that they've fallen out though, Carolyn doesn't even acknowledge or help Katie anymore. Even something as simple as asking Kareem to book them a VIP room is too much trouble for him now; let alone anything else he promised before.

Katie is at loss for words right now; Kareem isn't nearly as good-hearted or helpful as she thought he'd be. Past-Katie was truly blinded by his lies. She believed him back then but wants nothing more than to turn back time now... but it's already too late.

Especially since his father's health is deteriorating day by day while most of their family power has been handed over into Carolyn's hands. Although Katie knows one thing clearly. Kareem used her like an expendable pawn while also being at odds with big sister-in-law.

However, she doesn't have any chance left at redemption anymore.

She can sing and dance well enough while acting in web dramas but managing companies? That's more laughable than absurdity itself!

If she leaves home, then what will happen?

Her heart fills up with panic yet again; however, there seems no solution available.

Especially when big brother still hasn't come back from being detained yet... if he comes back though, maybe if I pout cutely enough, I might get some extra pocket money or ask him nicely about other things... But right now...

The more she thinks about it all, the sadder she was.

Yet here she stands inside this VIP room, caught between two worlds without any escape route available whatsoever.

If she could marry Brayden, even though the Wright family wasn't a prestigious family, Cody had the ability to make it big in Urgford.

If she became a daughter-in-law of the Wright family, then she would also have made it big.
