Kimberly had just chased away the scumbag. Before she could catch her breath, she received a message asking her to go downstairs to her father’s study. For a moment, it was as if she had fallen from heaven into hell.

She could only change her clothes slowly. It was not that she was unwilling, but every time she went to her father’s study, nothing good happened.

Last time, it was because she broke an antique vase. The time before last, it was because she had made her father’s partner’s son was so angry that he stomped his feet. The time before before last, it was…

When Kimberly thought of the study room, she could imagine her father’s angry expression and her mother’s raised feather duster.

“Someone save me…” She covered her face and said, “Even if I’m reborn, I still don’t want to go into my father’s study room.”

However, the successive messages of urging made her to hurry, forced her to take a step forward. No matter how slow she was going down the stairs, she would eventually arrive. By the time Kimberly reacted, she was already standing at the door of the study room.

“Come in.”

“Dad, what are you looking for me for? Oh Mom, you’re here too…”

Kimberly’s mother fiddled with her manicure and gave her a helpless look. Then, she became a bystander.

“Ahem.” Kimberly’s father, Justin Smith, cleared his throat and said, “It’s been two years since you graduated from university. You’ve been staying at home and not doing anything important. Now that I’m asking you to get married earlier, you won’t agree. Tell me, what else do you want?”

“I… I think it’s still early…” Kimberly suddenly remembered that she had indeed accomplished nothing. She had gotten an university degree, but it was actually useless. And all her skills had been returned to her teacher long ago.

“Early? Still early?” Kimberly’s mother, Annie Smith, who was at the side, couldn’t help but interject, “Tell me, what do you do at home every day? You either go travelling or go shopping or do beauty treatments. You really look more like a retiree than I do.”

Kimberly was momentarily speechless and couldn’t find any words to refute. She could only lower her head and let them lecture her. She secretly prayed that this would soon pass just like the previous few times.

Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to be so easy to muddle through this time. She stood for a while and heard her father ask her about her choice.

“Ah?” Kimberly stammered. “Can you… say it again… ?”

“Sigh, why are you so immature?” Justin sighed and kept reminding himself that she was his own child, not a subordinate. By doing so, he could then continue to say calmly, “Though Keith is not very decent, he has ambition. As long as we still hold the shares, he will always be very good to you. Letting him marry into the family is also a good choice.”

Kimberly’s mouth was bitter. She wanted to tell her parents that Keith was too ambitious and wanted to kill all of us, but yet she could not say it out loud.

“But, there is no need for that.” Justin took a sip of tea and continued, “I’m thinking that you used to like him so much back then and made a big fuss about it. You wanted to marry him then, who would have thought that you would suddenly change your mind now. I’m afraid that you’re angry for a moment and then get back together again.”

Kimberly finally understood her father’s good intentions and firmly told him, “Absolutely not. He… he cheated on me!”

“Ah?” Annie slammed the table and angrily rebuked, “What’s wrong with this guy? I didn’t expect him to have such a bad character. Just now, he even addressed us so intimately. It’s really hard to know a person’s true nature.”

Kimberly did not expect her mother to be so furious at the reason she gave. Although Keith did cheat on her in her previous life, she did not know if he was already with that woman in this life.

“Mom, calm down.” She quickly went over and helped her mother onto the sofa. “I haven’t found any evidence yet, but I found some clues.”

Justin frowned and was about to make a phone call. “I’ll get someone to check it out.”

“Wait, wait, Dad!” Kimberly quickly ran to her father’s side and held his hand. “I want to solve it myself. I’ll find the evidence myself.”

“You?” Justin looked at his daughter suspiciously. After a long while, he said, “It’s not that I don’t believe in your ability. I think you might be discovered even before you started.”

“I…” Kimberly did not expect herself to appear so useless in her parents’ hearts. “I can prove myself!”

“How can you prove yourself by relying on the pocket money we gave you?”

Kimberly paused. She realized that she really did not have any advantages. In her previous life, she had focused all her attention on Keith and did not care about other things. However, this had given her an extra insight into the future of the entertainment industry.

She had a plan in mind and said excitedly, “I can enter the entertainment industry!”

“Nonsense.” Annie put down the teacup and gently reprimanded, “It’s easy to go astray in the entertainment industry.”

“Come on, Mom.” Kimberly shook her father’s arm. “Dad, since you guys are here, I’ll just go and try it, maybe I’ll make some achievements. I don’t want to get married now. I want to be a career woman.”

“No problem, but if you want to enter the entertainment industry, you won’t have any pocket money. Don’t you want to be an independent woman? Independent women won’t ask their families for money.”

“Tsk.” Annie rolled her eyes. “If you say that, aren’t you cutting off her escape route? I’m afraid she’ll come back crying for you in two days.”

“Mom! I won’t, I can endure suffering.” Kimberly found that her parents didn’t comment on her words. She stomped her feet, thinking that she must prove it to them.
