Chapter 308
If she comes back, under no circumstances should you let her onto the premises p>
“Doesn’t her family keep an eye on her p>
“The people with her are her family. Sometimes they can’t control her, so they just let her act out p>
“Her family is ridiculous. Why let her harass people instead of putting her in a psychiatric facility?
Don’t worry, we’ll keep a strict watch. She won’t bother you again p>
Meanwhile, in Melvion City.
Mara had just received an official invitation from the Lance family in Aethelgard.
“Mom, look! An invitation from the Lance family. They want me to attend their concert p>
“The Lance family in Aethelgard? Let me see that p>
Lacey said, clearly skeptical.
“I already had Godmother verify it. It’s real p>
In truth, Fiona had advised against the trip, but she simply couldn’t talk Mara out of
it.
Mrs. Mercer took the invitation and examined it. It certainly looked authentic.
“The Lance family is the most powerful dynasty in the capital. They can recruit anyone they want. Why would they invite you?
You need to discuss this with your father and Ethan. Don’t do anything rash p>
“Mom, they’re talent scouts for the Lance family. They recognized my natural star quality p>
With that, Mara rushed off to pack her bags.
Lacey chased her upstairs. “When do they want you there p>
“Immediately p>
“Immediately?
You should wait until your father and Ethan get back. There are a lot of scammers out there p>
“They already booked my flight. It’s almost time to leave p>
Mara was terrified that if she delayed, Mr. Porter would find out and stop her.
This was a rare opportunity. Her reputation in Melvion City was in tatters, but a fresh start in a new city might be exactly what she needed to make it big.
When she returned as a star, the Mercer family would have no choice but to respect her.
If she could align herself with the Lance family, maybe even Shane Porter would have to answer to her.
“Sweetheart, you can’t just trust strangers p>
Lacey picked up her phone to call Adrian, but a call from Fiona came through first.
“Lacey, Mara asked me to verify an invitation earlier. It is genuine.
But the Lance family inviting her makes very little logical sense. I think p>
“I understand, Fiona. Thank you for looking out for Mara. We’ll handle this carefully p>
Fiona had no other options.
Otherwise, she never would have
relied on the dense Lacey. Sharonet
wasnt even sure Lacey had the
spine to stop Mara. fo
After hanging up, Lacey immediately called her husband and eldest son, urging them to hurry home.
Before long, Ethan and Adrian returned. Damon had also come home with them.
“What took you so long p>
Lacey was pacing anxiously as Mara prepared to leave.
“We headed straight back the second you called. We didn’t waste a minute p>
Ethan replied as he took off his coat and headed for the stairs.
“What’s the matter? Can’t control your precious daughter p>
Damon sneered with a hint of sarcasm.
“If she thinks she’s all grown up and ready to fly, let her leave.
Mira left the Mercer family and is doing incredibly well. Are you trying to see if you can outdo her p>
Damon’s cutting words instantly
silenced Mara, who had been
rushing out the door. She wiped
away a tear
“I know I’m not as capable as my sister, but I’m trying my best p>
“Trying your best? I haven’t seen it. All I see is you constantly sabotaging yourself p>
“Damon p>
Mrs. Mercer couldn’t hold back anymore.
“I called you home to talk some sense into your sister, not to mock her p>
“I am talking sense.
But if you don’t want to hear it, I’ll shut up p>
He dropped onto the sofa and started working on his laptop.
Ethan came downstairs after changing his clothes.
“What Damon said might be harsh, but he’s right.
What exactly do you bring to the
table that would make
family in Aethelgard notice
Inviting you to a concert?
Talent-wise, you’re third-rate at best. Looks-wise, you’re pretty, but you’re no top-tier
star.
As for family background, the Lance family wouldn’t even bat an eye at the Mercers.
Have you even stopped to think about why they approached you?
Talent scouts? Give me a break.
We run an entertainment company. Do you really lack that much self-awareness p>
