for dinner tonight.”
He then glanced at my brothers with visible disdain. “As for you three, forget it. Just looking at you ruins my appetite!”
I was shocked internally. ‘Huh? Yeah!”
Somehow, this whole family reunion thing wasn’t going quite the way I imagined.
My parents actually seemed to care about me quite a bit, and while my three brothers were annoying enough to deserve a smack,
they were not as detestable as they were in the original storyline.
On my second day back home, Thomas handed me a script for a variety show,
He even insisted that Jimmy and Harvey tagged along.
“My dear Yunice,” he said, patting my head affectionately, “this lifestyle variety show is a big production. You and your brothers
should go have some fun. Your mom and I will get everything ready so we can hold a proper reunion banquet when you’re back.”
Then he added, with a touch of guilt, “I know I’ve missed out on the first 20 years of your life, but to me, you’re my one and only treasure. No one could ever take your place, okay?”
The variety show was set in a small mountain village, and it was pre–recorded. On the first day we recorded the show, my agent,
Melinda, was waiting for me at the door.
She stared in shock at the luxury car that had dropped me off. “Yunice, did you hook up with a sugar daddy?”
I glanced at her and then at the two brothers who had just stepped out of the car behind me.
I was speechless while I was saying in my mind, “You can question my taste, but don’t insult my intelligence. A sugar daddy? These two? They’re just clueless lackeys serving as stepping stones for the female lead.”
Harvey grabbed my ear with one hand, bellowing like a tiger, “Yunice! Don’t think staying silent means I don’t know you’re

insulting me!”
I stared at him, dumbfounded. Was my disdain really that obvious?
Before I could retort, Jimmy draped an arm around my shoulders and said calmly, “I’m her brother.”
Harvey nodded coolly, adding, “By blood.”
Jimmy, a renowned actor, and Harvey, a powerhouse singer, were both prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Melinda, wearing an expression like she had just struck gold, glanced at me with unrestrained excitement.
“Are you two going on the show together this time?” she asked.
I explained helplessly, “My dad wants us to spend more time together and build some rapport,”
While she erupted into a chorus of excitement, my thoughts wandered, drawn to a tall figure standing not far away.
‘What a stunner! An absolutely gorgeous man!‘ I thought.
The three people followed my thoughts with their gaze, turning in the same direction. The handsome man across from us also looked over, revealing a face that was both breathtakingly stunning and coldly indifferent.
“Oh, what a shame he’s doomed to an early grave…‘ I thought.
