Chapter 240
“You’ve never faced hardship or left home, I’m worried about you.”
“I accept the invitation!”
Xanthea raised her hand before he could finish.
–
Oliver had said so much, but all she could hear was top–rated national hit show, with insane viewer ratings!
She wouldn’t miss any chance to shine.
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely”
“But Uncle is worried about you.”
Xanthea tugged at his sleeve, her face full of defiance, “Uncle, do you really think I’m that fragile?”
“It’s not about being fragile, you’re a little princess. You grew up coddled and pampered. That place is in the middle of nowhere, and the crew can be merciless–it’s not like here where everyone indulges you.”
This is exactly the opportunity I need to grow!”
“Alright,” Oliver said, indulgently ruffling her hair. “Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll support you. Let’s pack up and head home. Your mom heard you’re being invited to Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night and she wants to tell you something.”
“Now?”
“Yeah, the recording for Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night starts the day after tomorrow. You’ll head straight there after wrapping up filming tomorrow aftemoon. The show’s private jet will pick you up nearby the film set.”
Xanthea was surprised, “Tomorrow afternoon? Was that so soon!”
“Is there a problem?”
now the schedule was too packed for her to
She was planning to clear things up with Orion at Room 3001, after filming tomorrow, but now spare any time.
“Don’t worry about the filming schedule. I’ve already spoken to Director Smith. He said that once tomorrow’s scenes are done, there would be only some minor shots left. He can spare you for a couple of days. With the premiere of Realm of Illusions, appearing on the reality show will also serve as a promotion.”
“Okay!”
Xanthea nodded.
She would just have to talk to Orion after filming Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night. If both the reality show and Realm of Illusions hit big, she could surpass Isabella in popularity. Then, she could retrieve the photo, explain everything to Orion, and even deal with Matthew once and for all!
“By the way, Xan, how are things going with Orion? Have you established a romantic relationship yet?”
At his words, Xanthea jolted and saw him with surprised looks, “Uncle, how did you…
“You wanted to hide it from me?” Oliver laughed, “With the way you two were looking at each other, did you think I was invisible? Xan, I thought it was strange: you’ve never been one to play games, if you’re already with Matthew,”
“Uncle, if you trust me, I’ll explain everything after the show. But until then, please don’t tell anyone, okay?”
“Sure, III always have your back.”
At the Lakeside Manor, the Nightshade family.
Approaching midnight, the Nightshade family of five and Oliver gathered around the dining table for some late–night snacks.
Samuel flipped through channels with the remote. “There’s nothing good. After Xan’s TV series aired the day after tomorrow, I’m definitely going to watch it five times, ten times, and a hundred times!”
Ethan Nightshade chimed in. “Then enjoy the series yourself. I’ll catch her live reality show in the lab. it’ll be a good break from my usual boredom.”
