Chapter 1023
Vicky had first-hand experience of how hard it was to live the life of the rich and famous, so she could understand
where Aurora was coming from.
Originally, she came to Neon Club to check on Aurora because she was forced to do so. However, after listening to
her, she could not help but sit down beside her and asked, "What's your dream, Aurora?"
Aurora glanced at her. "Do you like watching series or movies?"
Vicky shook her head. She had no interest in either. In fact, she rarely stepped foot inside a cinema.
"Actually... I've been working abroad as a D-list actress but... but no matter how hard I try... I couldn't seem to get a
breakout role..."
"A breakout role?" Vicky was stunned. She found it hard to believe that someone like Aurora was only a D-list

blockbuster movie.
Plus, she had the kind of look that would make people fall in love with her even if she was to just stand there and
look pretty, so how could she not be famous?
Aurora's tone was riddled with disappointment. "Yup... My parents objected to me going into the entertainment
industry. They think that celebrities are all... classless people. But I kept persevering. Knowing that I won't give in no
matter what they say, they decided to make a deal with me.
"They gave me five years... and if I haven't made a name for myself on the silver screen, I have to quit being an
actress. Of course, this is on the condition of not getting any help from them. I was young and naive then... Plus, I
just graduated at the top of the class from the best acting school in Molivia...
"The entertainment industry in Molivia is very competitive. They don't hire actors or actresses based on their looks
but based on their acting skills. I thought that with me graduating at the top of my class, I'll be able to blaze a trail
in Molivia but in the end..."
Aurora smiled but her smile was even sadder than if she were to cry. "I was hit hard by reality. There were a lot of
unspoken rules, office politics, and sabotage by my colleagues... All of that made it impossible for me to make a
name for myself.
"Five years later, which just so happens to be this year, I quit the entertainment industry just like how I promised my
parents and came back here... And today, I overheard them talking about the reason I didn't become famous... and
it was because they've been pulling strings behind my back to make sure I stay out of the limelight."
The discovery of this news struck Aurora like lightning. The reason she did not become famous was not that she
was not good enough or her bad luck, but rather, it was because her own parents had been undermining her
behind her back.

Vicky felt sorry for Aurora.
Aurora seemed to be thirsty after talking for so long. She poured herself and Vicky a glass of wine. Then she smiled
drunkenly and said, "Vicky, even though we're not friends, you're the first person who came here to check on me
after just one phone call... Let's drink to that!"
Although Vicky did not come from the same background as Aurora, she could understand all the things she went
through. She accepted the glass of wine and finished drinking it in one go.
The two of them kept talking and drinking. What surprised Vicky was that she and Aurora had quite a few things in
common. Not only that, but Aurora was talented in many ways too. For example, she knew how to play quite a
number of musical instruments, and the reason Valencia chose her was that she could play the piano very well.
Before she knew it, Vicky was also a little drunk. Gradually she began to lose consciousness until finally, she put her
head on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Vicky woke up with a hangover and a splitting headache. She was slightly relieved to see herself in a
familiar environment when she opened her eyes. However, her eyes became as wide as a saucer when she saw
who was sleeping next to her.
