PopularNovelChapter 975: Nina let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “Mom, you've admitted it yourself. I've been the one yielding since childhood. Why should it always bewho has to compromise? Natalie and I are both your daughters, so why do you keep favoring her?" Elyse sighed, her brows knitting together. "I don't have a choice. There's only one lead role in this show. If there were two, I wouldn't have to put you in this difficult position, would I? Can't you just be a little more understanding?" That sweary, guilt-laden tone.
Every tElyse spoke like this, Nina found herself giving in, sacrificing her own desires without question.

But it seems you've forgotten that I have dreams too. I'm not handing this role over to anyone! If someone has to step back, let it be Natalie!" And with that, Nina spun on her heels and strode off.
Elyse stood there, wailing after her. "Are you trying to driveto my grave, Nina? If I collapse here, your entire acting career will be ruined!" Nina scoffed, her gaze lifting to the sky, unimpressed.
The sold guilt-tripping. It had lost its sting long ago.
Not bothering to turn around, she walked away.
Elyse, unwilling to give up, dragged Natalie to see Daniela.
"Daniela, could you fund another project and move Nina to that one? Let Natalie have this lead role instead, please?" Nearby, Lillian rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Do you think making a show is as easy as waving a magic wand? It takes serious money! If it's so simple, why don't you fund it yourself?" Elyse clutched Natalie's hand tightly, then dropped to her knees before Daniela. “Daniela, I'm desperate, which is why I'm begging you. You know I lack your wealth and power. I'm just a helpless mother with nowhere else to turn. Please, help my daughters!" Just then, Cedric walked in from outside, his gaze landing on the two kneeling figures.

Cedric turned to Josie. "Take sfruit upstairs for Daniela. Honestly, why do people always show up here uninvited?" With that, he dropped into the chair Daniela had just left. "Alright, what do you want?" Elyse's gaze trailed after Daniela as she disappeared upstairs, her hope momentarily deflating.
"Daniela already agreed to set up a film project for Natalie Cedric, could you help make it happen?" Cedric arched a brow and glanced at Lillian. "Is that true?" Lillian scoffed. "No."
Cedric leaned back and eyed Elyse. "You heard her. It's not happening."
The moment the words left his mouth, Elyse burst into tears. "Cedric, you don't understand how difficult my life has been. I have nowhere else I to turn, which is why I'm asking you. With your influence, securing a movie deal should be effortless. If you refuse, I'll have no choice but to keep pestering Daniela. Surely that's more troublesome, right? I swear, if you helpthis once, I won't trouble Daniela ever again!"
