After enduring Christine’s relentless nagging, the driver sighed in relief as he finally navigated the road to Oona’s home.

Oona had barely settled in when the intrusive ring of her phone pierced the tranquility of her home. Glancing at the screen, she hesitated at the sight of an unknown number, an unwelcome interruption to her peaceful moment.

Oona hesitated for a moment before answering. Her heart was pounding with anticipation. As she brought the phone to her ear, a voice oozing with the unmistakable aura of showbiz glamour greeted her.

Oona’s frown deepened at the mention of “The A–list Show.”

What exactly was this?

With a reluctant sigh, she opened her email; her curiosity piqued despite her lack of enthusiasm.

As she scrolled through the message, she discovered that The A–list Show was nothing more than a run–of–the–mill talent show. The glitz and glamour she had imagined quickly faded, replaced by a sense of disappointment. The thought of putting herself on display in front of a crowd didn’t sit well with her.

She couldn’t help but feel a twinge of reluctance at showcasing herself in such a public forum.

To Oona’s dismay, she soon uncovered the truth: “The A–list Show was the same talent competition that Verona had slyly orchestrated for the previous owner. It had been sold as a golden opportunity to showcase their shining attributes and captivate Wesley’s attention under the glittering lights of showbiz.

Oona let out a contemptuous snort; her icy gaze tinged with a hint of disdain.

How can being different be refreshingly innocent yet so beautifully enchanting, showing its best side?

Everyone knew this variety show was broadcast live. Verona’s grand plan? Expose the original host’s foolish, infatuated, and unerly worthless side to the nation and the world. Because, let’s face it, Ashely couldn’t carry a tune or bust a move to save her

life.

As she approached the screen, a wave of uncertainty washed over her. She couldn’t shake the nagging fear that she might unwittingly become the butt of everyone’s jokes.

Moreover, if her memory served her right, Verona had always been adept at those things from a tender age, skilled and remarkably

Verona had a sneaky plan: she aimed to make herself look even better by pointing out how silly the original host was. That way, everyone would see just how brilliant and fabulous Verona was.

The original host, Oona, who had returned, was a retard, not comparable to any of the Walsh siblings.

During the scandal surrounding the original host’s infatuation with the wealthy heir, Wesley, whispers reverberated through upper echelons of Brookville’s high society. They portrayed the original host as a hapless frog yearning to taste a swan’s

the

grace.

Yet, Verona’s radiance only intensified amidst this drama, casting a luminous shadow over the tumultuous affair.

On the other hand, once the production team ended the call with Oona, they wasted no time dialing Verona’s number

As the show launched, she planned to drop the bombshell about Oona’s insufferable family’s scandalous expulsion fr esteemed Walshs!

With a strategic injection of marketing brilliance, she’d ascend effortlessly to fame, captivating audiences as the undeniable star of the season’s variety extravaganza.

Meanwhile, she’d savor every moment of eclipsing Oona, ensuring she was not just ridiculed but utterly crushed under scorn and disdain!

As the idea dawned on her, Verona couldn’t contain her triumph.

Just then, her gaze caught her mother descending the grand staircase, and Verona’s eyes lit up excitedly. She turned to Lauren, her voice tinged with anticipation. “Mom, are Oona and her family still holed up at Rosewood Manor? If my memory serves me right, that estate is worth millions. With Uncle Walsh and his clan severing ties with the Walshs, does that mean the manor is up for grabs?”

Verona had been eyeing that mansion for ages.

It wasn’t just the crème de la crème of Rosewood Manor, nestled snugly amid scenic hills and serene waters, but it also boasted expansive grounds.
