Chapter 27 The Spencers Bankruptcy

Inside the karaoke private room.

Crash! The table's wine bottles, glasses, fruit plates, and pastries were swept to the floor, creating a mess.

Melanie was taken aback by Stephanie’s furious outburst and stuttered to comfort her, “S-Stephanie, I'm sorry. |

am the one who caused trouble for you. But I did it for your good because | wanted to help you. Who knew Milly,

that b*tch, still had a trick up her sleeve.”

Melanie genuinely considered Stephanie to be her close sister. When she heard Stephanie's complaint, she didn’t

hesitate to stand by her side, treating Milly as their common enemy.

In reality, she had no personal grudge against Milly.

However, seeing Stephanie being forced to apologise in front of the entire school because of her, she felt even

more guilty. She forgot that she could have simply ignored the whole situation.

Stephanie took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to lash out.

This Melanie, she’s just a fool. Apologising in front of Milly was one thing, but she draggedinto it and made

If my parents and brothers found out, they would look down on me. Then, everything | had accomplished in the

Burnetts would go to waste.

But now she couldn't break up with Melanie. After all, the only pawn she could use now was her. If Melanie didn’t

help her, she would be too weak against Milly.

“It’s okay. | was just too angry just now. | didn’t expect my sister to be so heartless, not even willing to letgo,

so | made you suffer with me. I'm sorry, Melanie, it’s all my fault. Stephanie pursed her lips; her eyes were red,

and her voice choked with sobs like a pitiful little victim.

When Melanie saw her like this, her sense of justice returned. She rolled up her sleeves angrily. “Stephanie, you

are really too kind. She bullies you so much, but you still call her sister.”

Obviously, she had forgotten that they were the ones who started the trouble on purpose.

Stephanie sniffed, her tone filled with despair, “Everyone in the family likes my sister. She is outstanding and has

now ranked first in the whole grade. | am definitely no match for her. My sister dislikes me, so | dare not say

anything.”

Melanie felt heartbroken when she heard Stephanie's pitiful voice.

Initially, she envied Stephanie for being born into the Burnetts, with six brothers who treated her like at little

princess. But now it seemed that she also had a lot of worries and was very cautious.

It's all because of Milly. Stephanie wouldn't have suffered so much grievance and hurt if Milly hadn't returned!

No, | have to help Stephanie.

She suddenly thought of something and excitedly leaned in front of Stephanie, saying, “Stephanic, | suddenly

remembered something. You can definitely outshine your sister in this matter. Your parents will be proud of you

because of this.”

Stephanie raised her head, which was hanging low, and asked anxiously. “What is it?”

Melanie continued, “A few days ago, | heard someone telling my dad that Director Alan Hawkins is coming to our

school to select a supporting role for his new movie. The role requires a girl who can do ballet. Stephanie, you

have learned ballet before and have reached level nine. You are also so beautiful. He will definitely choose you.”

Stephanie's eyes lit up with joy as soon as she heard this. She instantly becexcited.

Director Alan Hawkins, a big shot who has won numerous awards from significant directors domestically and

internationally. Every movie he directs becomes a hit, and many celebrities are willing to be a cameo

in his films.

Moreover, he has produced countless award-winning actors and actresses.

If she could be chosen, it would bring great honour to the Burnetts.

“Can we trust this news? There are so many aspiring actors who would love to work in Mr. Hawkin’s films; how is

it possible that they haven't found a suitable candidate? Stephanie questioned.

Melanie quickly explained, “I've heard that the requirements for this role are rigorous. The character must be

innocent yet worldly-wise, as well as be proficient in ballet. Many female stars in the entertainment industry

have already been eliminated based solely on the first requirement. | heard that Mr. Hawkins has been looking

nationwide for this role.”

“So, this news is definitely accurate. They will visit our school in a few days; the principal has already given

approval. My dad happened to kaetivare fal denting’s assistants and since | attend Crestwood High, | thought |

Stephanie's eyes lit up with determinof the Stovely bucher finding ppress the excitement in her heart.

Despite being adopted by the Burnetts, her parents showered her with love and attention, focusing on all

aspects of her upbringing, including etiquette, social skills, and various talents.

One of these talents was ballet, which was the skill she had been training in for the longest tand excelled the

most. She also had already passed level nine!

As for Milly, coming from a humble background, she was fortunate to have enough to eat, let alone afford ballet

lessons.

This time, Stephanie was eager to see what Milly could bring to compete with her!

Upon entering the house, Melanie was stunned by a sudden slap.
