Chapter 285: The Truth About the Switch
Daisy had just been recalled to the company and was working with them to find a solution when she received news of her dismissal. Moments later, she saw the flood of online criticism and Ameliaโs accusations. In an instant, Daisy felt like she had been struck by lightning. She could never have imagined that the artist she had worked so hard to nurture would turn on her so viciously.
โIt wasnโt me. I didnโt do this. It was Amelia herself,โ she said, in utter shock. The company, however, confiscated her computer, wiped all records from her phone, and dismissed her on the spot, without allowing her to take anything with her. It was only then that Daisy realized she had been completely set up. Amelia had used her as a scapegoat, leaving her to take the fall.
Finally seeing Ameliaโs true colors, Daisy wanted to expose everything she knew. But before she could act, she received a phone call. The voice on the other end sent her spiraling into despair.
โIf you want to remain employable in this country, you will quietly take the blame for everything,โ a cold, commanding voice instructed. It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over Daisy. She glanced at the caller ID: Ms. Liliana, Chairwoman of Starlit Entertainment, the treasured daughter of the Kenneth family.
Daisy couldnโt fathom why someone as powerful as Liliana, who had always remained distant from the companyโs internal matters, would suddenly intervene to protect Amelia. Yet she knew there was no resisting this. Both Starlit Entertainment and the Kenneth family were forces far beyond her ability to contend with.
โI understand, Ms. Liliana,โ Daisy replied, utterly defeated. Hanging up, she sank into a state of despair, seething with resentment toward Amelia.
Chapter 265: The Truth About the Switch
In the office of the Starlit Entertainment chairwoman, Amelia stood nervously before Liliana. At just twenty-one, Liliana had built Starlit Entertainment into one of the top three entertainment companies in the industry, backed by the immense power of the Kenneth family. Her presence was commanding, with an aura of untouchable brilliance that made her beauty almost intimidating.
โI will assign you a new manager. You donโt need to worry about this matter anymore. I will handle everything,โ Liliana said, not even glancing up from the documents in her hands.
โThank you,โ Amelia said cautiously. The words had barely left her mouth when Lilianaโs sharp gaze shot up, locking onto Ameliaโs startled eyes.
โIf you call me that again, you will leave Starlit Entertainment just like Daisy,โ Liliana snapped coldly, her voice sending chills down Ameliaโs spine. Amelia nodded quickly, terrified.
She had only recently discovered that Olivia was not the biological daughter of the Carter family, but had been switched at birth with a child from a wealthy family. The woman standing before her, Liliana, was her real sister. But now, Liliana was the golden child of the Kenneth family, a privileged heiress born with a silver spoon. If not for a chance incident that revealed Lilianaโs identity to her, Amelia would never have believed her parents were capable of orchestrating such a scheme, swapping their daughter with the Kenneth familyโs.
โWe are nothing more than superior and subordinate. Do you understand?โ Liliana said, her eyes narrowing. She was determined to protect her position and identity, no matter the cost. Not even her biological sister would be allowed to jeopardize her status.
โYes, Ms. Liliana,โ Amelia replied quickly. Though she knew Liliana was her sister, Amelia feared her to the core. If not for her desperation today, she would never have dared to seek Lilianaโs help.
