When Riley learned that the trending song Never Say Goodbye was penned by Lily, a wave of panic washed over her. She could sense the battle lines being drawn. This was no coincidence–it was Lily’s deliberate move against her.

Riley didn’t know much about Aurora, the singer of the song, but one thing was crystal clear: with Lily’s talent and support, Aurora was destined for stardom. This realization hit Riley hard. She feared for her career, knowing firsthand how powerful Lily’s songwriting was.

After all, it was Lily’s songs that had propelled Riley to the heights of fame. She couldn’t deny that her success was largely built on Lily’s lyrics and compositions. The thought of losing her position and career to another artist, someone with the same support she once had, left her in a state of pure anxiety.

Unable to sit still, Riley decided to confront the issue head–on. She rushed to the Miller family mansion, seeking answers or reassurance.

Upon arriving, she was greeted by the sound of a heated argument. Rose’s furious voice echoed through the mansion as she shouted at her father, Morgan.

“Dad, why weren’t we invited to the fashion show?!” Rose yelled, her face red with anger. “Everyone important is going to be there–businessmen, celebrities, and influencers. How could they leave us out?”

Morgan, visibly exasperated, tried to calm her. “I don’t know, princess. I’ve already contacted the organizers, but they refused to send us an invitation.”

“I don’t care how you do it,” Rose snapped, crossing her arms. “Bribe them, pay them whatever they want–I want to be there. I need to be at that show.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” Morgan sighed in defeat. As he turned away, his eyes landed on Riley. “Oh, Riley. You’re here.”

“Hello, Uncle,” Riley greeted politely, but before she could say more, Rose grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs to her room.

Once inside, Riley tried to gather her thoughts. “What’s going on? Why are you so upset?” she asked.

“I didn’t get an invitation to the fashion show,” Rose fumed, pacing the room. “I have to meet this designer, LX. He’s the one I want to create my wedding dress.”

“Oh…” Riley replied, unsure how to respond.

Who do they think they are, leaving me out? I’m the top actress in the industry! My movies rake in millions, the netizens adore me, and they call me their ‘Goddess Rpse.
