Chapter 47
A few days later, Dreamscape Stuwas officially established. The stuwas located in the Dellanex
Entertainment & Innovation District, where many entertainment companies were based.
Sharon only took 40% of the shares, and Ophelia, unable to argue with her, becthe nominal owner.
However, she didn't get involved in the company's management and instead hired a professional agent team to
handle everything. As the film's reputation grew, so did Sharon's range of roles. She quickly received several
scripts from different production
teams
She texted Ophelia: [Elia, which one do you think I should take She also sent photos of each script to Ophelia.
Ophelia noticed that Sharon had becincredibly clingy lately, messaging her on Whatfor almost
everything, a complete 180 from when they first met.
After skimming through the scripts, Ophelia recalled which ones had good reviews in her previous life.
She replied: [Why not try that palace intrigue ?]
Ophelia remembered that the palace intrigue would becvery popular, and though Sharon's character
wasn't entirely likable, it was well-rounded and beloved by audiences. Sharon replied: [OK]
After that, she immediately had her agent decline the other scripts..
Her agent protested, "Sharon, not to be rude, but you're not even the third female lead in this palace ,
while one of the other scripts had you as the lead! Are you sure about this?" "Yeah. I'm sure, Sharon responded
without hesitation. The agent didn't quite understand but followed her instructions.
anyway.
Meanwhile, at Hastings Villa, the family hadn't sat down for a meal together in a long time. Nathan had just been
discharged from the hospital, with his broken arm still in plaster. He lied, saying he'd fallen while drunk. The
family knew what he was like, so they didn't ask any further.
"Emily, have smore, Heather said before serving Emily a piece of fish.
Emily had no appetite. It had been a week, and On a Snowy Day had already grossed over 100 million dollars,
with the numbers still climbing. Meanwhile, her movie hadn't even hit 15 million dollars, and its online rating was
so low that it wasn't even showing up anymore.
Her debut film hadn't made her an overnight sensation-instead, it had turned her into a target of online hate.
She complained bitterly, knowing full well that it was Rex, the male lead, who had failed in his performance. Yet,
she was the one getting dragged the most. And to make things worse, she was still being roasted online for
wearing that designer's plagiarized outfit.
I wonder how Elia is doing at Rosewood Manor, Heather casually mentioned. Already in a bad mood, Emily grew
even more irritated. But she wasn't the only one feeling frustrated,
Nathan glanced at the sting around his chest, his eyes filled with anger. Trying to eat with his left hand was
uncomfortable, and in a fit of rage, he threw his fork down. "Mom, why would you bring up that brat?*
"What's gotten into you? Heather snapped, rolling her eyes. "I was just making conversation. There are rumors
online that she's the founder of La Reverie. If that's true, wouldn't the Hastings family be gaining a whole new
business? That'd make us 14:47 Mon, Nov 11 ti

She mused, | finally get it. As long as Ophelia is around, I'll never be the rightful heiress of the Hastings family.
Heather isn't my biological mother after all, and sooner or later, she's going to accept Ophelia. When that
happens, will there even be a place forin this house?
Owen frowned, a hint of reproach in his tone. "Look at you. We're just having a family meal. Why do you always
bring up that brat? If she's really the founder of that La Reverie or whatever, then just have her give the
endorsement to Emily. We're all family. Why let an outsider benclit?"
"That girl is so stubborn. She treats us like enemies. Even if we talk to her, do you think she'll listen?" Heather
couldn't help but feel a sense of unease when she thought about the way Ophelia had spoken to her last time.
"You're her mother. It's only right for you to care more about her, but you can't ignore Emily either. After all,
we've raised Emily since she was a child." Owen put down his fork and stood up. Til go check on Emily. You all

Just as he reached the stairs, he saw Emily coming down with a large suitcase, her eyes slightly red. He asked,
"What are you doing?"
Hearing his voice, the rest of the family immediately got up from the dining table and cover.
Emily forced a smile. "Dad, Mom, Harry, Nathan, | was never meant to be part of this family. Thank you all for
taking care ofall these years, but | can't keep imposing on you." As she spoke, tears began to fall, and she
quickly lowered her head, not wanting them to see her crying Harry hurriedly grabbed the suitcase from her
hands. "What are you talking about, Emily? Mom, it's your fault. Why did you have to bring up Ophelia?
"It's not. Don't blMom. After all, Ophelia is her real daughter Harry, I'm fine." Emily lifted her head, showing
a tearful yet brave-smile.
Emily sighed. "I don't know what's been going on lately. The intehas really been targetingand the
Hastings family, Maybe if | leave, things will get better for the family. I'm the one dragging you all down." She
spoke as she tried to take the suitcase from Harry's hand. But what Emily was implying was clear. Everyone
immediately assumed that Ophelia had failed to attack Emily directly, so Ophelia resorted to more underhanded
methods. They all thought, "How could such a malicious woman even compare to Emily?’ Owen said, "Emily,
don't be upset with your mother. She's only trying to talk to Ophelia so she can get you the La Reverie
endorsement.”
"Really, Mom?" Emily asked hopefully.
Even though Heather felt torn inside, she couldn't bear the sight of her tearful daughter threatening to leave
home. "Yes. I'll go talk to her tomorrow and help you secure the endorsement. Be good now, stop crying."
Owen gently patted Emily's head. "Con. It's just one movie that didn't do well, and the reviews weren't
great. It's something every newcomer has to go through. What's the big deal? I've already asked Sophia to help
you out at the company. She's got plenty of resources, and she'll give them all to you. Don't worry."
Father and daughter exchanged a look, and Emily immediately understood.

The following day, at La Reverie's studio, Chloe's expansion efforts had paid off. La Reverie wasn't just about
dresses anymore. They had launched a whole line of jewelry. The stuhad also expanded, renting out an entire
floor in Paralet Shopping Center for their operations. Their store on the first floor had now extended to the
second floor, which was previously the stuspace.
They gradually moved from dresses to gown-style outfits, making sdesign modifications along the way.
