Chapter 458
“The first order of business, I’m hanging up my hat.”
What?! As soon as the words left her mouth, it was like someone had dropped a bomb in the middle of the stadium. The crowd went absolutely wild.
“Hanging up her hat? Did I hear that right?”
“She’s at the peak of her popularity, the future’s bright with stardom. Quitting now? She’s kidding, right?”
“Xan?!”
Oliver nearly choked on his own breath when he heard she was quitting. His niece had always been a little troublemaker, always giving him “surprises“, but this was the ultimate shock. His dreams of managing a world–class superstar were shattering before they even fully took off!
“Xan’s quitting? Why so sudden, didn’t even give us a heads–up?” Samuel was taken aback, his gaze finally landing on Orion with suspicion, asking, “Orion, don’t tell me you pushed her into quitting?”
Some old–money families had this annoying trait of looking down on the entertainment industry. If he had anything to do with it….
“No.”
A storm seemed to pass through Orion’s eyes, but it quickly settled. It seemed he understood her decision.
[????????????????]
[Folks, it must be my ears playing tricks on me, right? Xan’s quitting? How’s that even possible? I can’t accept this, and I won’t allow it!!! [This must be some sort of joke, right? She’s the biggest name in showbiz right now, the dream peak of many. How could she possibly quit at a time like this?]
[But she’s not just anyone; she’s a Nightshade, an heiress. Maybe she really doesn’t care about fame or popularity and is like those TV dramas where they just quit and go home to inherit their fortune! Though I wish it was a joke, sad face.]
[Ah Xan, don’t scare me like this, I can’t live without you, and showbiz can’t either!]
[Please, this is my first time being a fan. How can I withstand such a blow? Everyone else’s idol is falling apart, and mine just decided to walk away???]
[Xan, jokes are supposed to be funny, how am I supposed to go on without you!]
[Haha, this has got to be a joke. You guys are so gullible. Trust me, if this isn’t a joke, I’ll eat my hat!
Xanthea, looking down at the restless crowd, continued, “During my time in the entertainment industry, I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve worked with great casts, played amazing roles, had talented directors, and made wonderful friends and partners, And I’ve gained a group of adorable fans, for which I’m truly grateful.
But I’ve always dreamed of being a scientist since little, and I’ve worked hard towards that dream for many years. It’s rooted deep within me, blossomed, and become an integral part of who I am, and I can’t give it up. So, I’m sorry to disappoint everyone. Maybe we’ll meet again, in another place, in another way.”
Her speech left the room filled with sighs and expressions of regret, except for Isabella, who looked on with admiration and longing Xanthea was always Xanthea, unchanged, always true to her heart, fearlessly pursuing her dreams, never lost in the superficial glitz and glamour.
