Chapter 845 Her Family Forces Her to Stay
Anna finished her coffee, her once sparkling eyes now dull and exhausted due to last night's events.
"Anna, we don't live our lives for other men, but for ourselves. Why waste this opportunity becauseof a scumbag? Besides... didn't we promise each other that we would become the stars of theentertainment industry together? If you leave now, I'll be heartbroken," Mia said as she held ontoAnna's arm and tried to persuade her.
Although Mia appeared to be persuading Anna on the surface, she had ulterior motives.
She needed Anna to stay so that she could use her as a pawn to kick out those good trainers.
With her current abilities, Mia knew that she couldn't compete with those who had better conditionsthan her. However, Anna was different; not only was she an excellent singer but also a great dancerwith outstanding qualities - making her an ideal pawn.
Mia became worried when Anna didn't respond to any of her persuasion. Had Anna already madeup her mind about leaving?
"How can you just leave?" Mia asked anxiously. "You can ignore Bryce's existence completely! Aslong as we establish ourselves in the entertainment industry and show him what he missed out onby losing such an exceptional woman like you, it will strike a heavy blow to him."
Anna sighed bitterly and replied, "How can I ignore him when we work at the same company?Leaving is my only choice right now."
Besides, not only do I have to deal with Bryce, the scumbag, but also need to avoid Jimmy, thedevilish bastard, at all costs.
Mia became increasingly anxious when Anna remained unmoved by all of these persuasions.
How can I lose such a valuable pawn? Thinking of that, Mia continued, "Anna, the public has beentalking about your selection behind your back; they say it's because Bryce and Jimmy are secretlypromoting you! Don't you want to change their perception of you? Don't you want them see yourtrue potential?"
Anna looked pained at this reminder; she knew these rumors, but she couldn't possibly silenceeveryone's mouths.
As Anna hesitated, her phone rang in her pocket. Seeing that it was her mother calling, Anna feltuneasy and immediately answered the call.
"Anna, your father heard that you were selected and is very happy. Is it true that as long as youmake it to the end, you can get a hefty bonus? I'm planning to use this amount of money to takeyour dad for a thorough checkup at the hospital. So you must work hard and get this bonus," saidAnna's mother.
Her mother's words echoed clearly in Anna's ears.
After hesitating for a while, she opened her lips slightly. "Mom, I have decided to quit this practicesession... I've decided to leave J. S. Entertainment."
Anna told Mrs. Miller about her decision.
"What? You want to quit? How can you quit? If you quit now, we won't get the money! Your fatherwon't be able to afford his treatment fees anymore! And those loan sharks have been chasing afteryour brother all along! If we don't pay them back soon enough they will never let us live peacefullyagain! You cannot quit!" Mrs. Miller's emotions were getting out of control as she shouted throughthe phone.
As expected, in her mother's eyes, she was just a tool for earning money.
At this moment, Anna felt an intense pain in her heart.
Realizing how cruel she sounded earlier on, Mrs. Miller's voice rang again. "Anna, your father lovesyou most dearly; he wants nothing but success for you so he can proudly tell everyone how greathis daughter is compared with his son who's just a gambler... You are your father's pride and joy... ifyou give up now, he will be disappointed... and if he refuses treatment due to disappointment, theneverything will be lost."
Images of when she was younger flashed before Anna's eyes; memories of being held by her dadwhile listening intently as he told stories filled with love and care came flooding back into mind...
Thinking about his hopeful gaze towards her made Anna feel like someone had cut deep intoheart...
"I'll try my best," replied Anna.
Mrs. Miller hung up happily upon hearing Anna's promise over the phone
Mia saw Anna looking conflicted and secretly rejoiced inside. "Was it your mom who called?" askedMia.
Anna nodded silently
"Anna, your father needs treatment. If you quit, how will you pay for his medical expenses? Besides,I heard that the company has a new talent show recently. Once you win first place, there will be areward of 100, 000 dollars. With your skills, you are sure to win first place. Although 100, 000dollars is not much for your father's treatment expenses, it can still solve a big problem."
"A new talent show?"
"A reward of 100, 000 dollars?"
Faced with such temptation, Anna was moved.
"Anna, this is 100 thousand dollars." Mia said in Anna's ear, intentionally emphasizing the amount.
For money's sake, she had to give it her all.
"I'll stay." After hearing Anna's decision, Mia immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"I knew it! You wouldn't abandon me."novelbin
A greedy look flashed across Mia's face.
Afraid that Anna would change her mind, Mia quickly took her to the registration room and signedup for the new talent show directly.
"Anna, I didn't expect you to sign up for this new talent show even though you have Bryce as yourboyfriend. Are you trying to compete with us for the prize money?"
Charlee Gould who was in the same group as Anna came over and spoke sourly.
After signing up successfully, Anna smiled faintly at Charlee's taunts.
"I just want everyone to know my strength. If anyone thinks they have what it takes to win againstme, then they should try their luck at this competition," Anna said coldly.
The ridicule from her teammates only made her more determined that staying was an importantchoice - an opportunity she could use to prove herself.
"With Bryce around, you participating in this competition is just going through motions. We don'thave any ability or chance of competing with you for prize money anyway. Besides, we've all heard
about your unclear relationship with Mr. Harrison."
When she heard these suggestive words, Anna clenched her fists .
"I can sue you for defamation."
Without looking back after saying those words, she left the registration room .
Even if she left, she could still clearly hear Charlee's contemptuous mockery.
