Chapter 2097
Wasn’t she all high and mighty before? It turned out she was nastier than the rest, such a schemer, snagged herself a sugar daddy!
Giselle sipped her coffee to soothe her throat and continued, “With her sugar daddy’s clout, it won’t be long before Ivy’s name is up in lights, leaving us old-timers in the dust.”
Clara, never one to hide her feelings, looked visibly upset.
Seizing the moment, Giselle prodded, “Got Ivy’s contact info? After all, as sisters, didn’t she ever think of cutting you in on the action? With her backer’s influence, tossing a few scraps your way shouldn’t be too hard.”
“I don’t want any part of that filthy business!” Clara clenched her fists and lashed out before catching herself and bowing her head in regret.
“I’m so sorry, Giselle! That wasn’t aimed at you. Ivy and I have some bad blood, so I got a bit carried away. Did I scare you?”
Giselle, feigning empathy, nodded. “It’s okay. No hard feelings between kin, right? If you can, I’d appreciate it if you could help me get in touch.”
“What?” Clara looked up, her expression a mix of confusion and disbelief.
“I admire her talent. I’d love a chance to work with her.”
Giselle’s smile widened, her words catching Clara off guard.
“You mean you want to work with her, not me?”
Clara’s awkward grin betrayed her discomfort, her composure slipping.
Giselle, satisfied, leaned back in her chair.
“Clara, you’re talented, but in this business, you need more than skill – you need buzz. Once you’re as hot as Ivy, I’ll come knocking for a collaboration..
Right now, I’d rather ride Ivy’s coattails. Our movie would be a hit with her name attached. Who can turn down that kind of heat?” Clara bit her lip, feeling utterly humiliated.
Why did Ivy, who was not even here, still manage to steal what was hers?
“Giselle, you don’t know the first thing about Ivy. Are you sure you want to work with her?”
Clara struggled to keep her composure as she spoke through clenched teeth.
Giselle sighed as if pitying her naivety. “In this business, does it really matter what kind of person she is? Clara, when will you see the light? It’s not about her or her talent; it’s about the big shot backing her. If you had such a patron, I’d be extending the olive branch to you today, eager for a collaboration.”
Giselle shook her head with feigned regret. “Honestly, I think it’s a real shame. Talents like you should be in the spotlight. But your shot at fame was snatched away by someone like Ivy with a sugar daddy. It’s such a waste.”
Grinding her teeth, Clara muttered, “Exactly! Why should she get it all?”
Her gaze drifted into the distance, filled with deep resentment.
Giselle offered a few words of consolation, “Let it go, relax, and your chance will come around. If you can’t wait, why not reach out to your sister? Maybe she can line up a role for you? She’s got to have some pull in the industry by now!”
