"Have you seen your sister's video?" Avery asked.
"Not yet! | was in a meeting just now!" Layla said, before minimizing the call interface and opening the family chat group.
"She had a test session at the TV station today, and she did great," Avery said.
"I knew that she could do it all along." Layla was happy for her sister. "I will drop by later after work."
"Sure!" Avery felt reassured. "Don't run yourself too thin. Be sure to maintain a work-life balance."
"I know! Let's talk once | get home. | will get something to eat now," Layla said before hanging up.
She played the video of Ivy on her phone and sent a thumbs-up emoji with a message attached to it to the chat group once she
saw the entire video.
[Ivy is brilliant. Hayden, don't you think she deserves a reward?]

It was in the middle of the night in Bridgedale, but Hayden was used to staying up, and Layla knew that he was likely still awake.
As expected, Hayden sent a cash reward link to the group shortly after.
[Hayden, why aren't you asleep?] Avery typed.
[I was about to go to bed. | will go to bed after finishing the video.] Hayden replied.
Meanwhile, Robert was taking Ivy home, and once he parked the car, they strode into the mansion.
Avery immediately set her phone down and weed Ivy with a smile. "Ivy, were you nervous about today's test session? You
were brilliant! No one could tell that you were nervous!"
"lI was a bit nervous, and Mr. Gardner said that I'm not relaxed enough." Ivy took out her contract from her purse with a smile and
handed it to Avery. "Mom, have a look at my contract."
Avery accepted it and started to read through it. "Harry has already sent the electronic version to your dad."
"A contract isn't something to be treated lightly." Ivy had bid farewell to her days as Irene, so she did not want to do anything that
would jeopardize her family.
"It's good that you are that careful," Avery said. "You are so smart and brilliant."
Ivy blushed. "Mom, this is justmon sense. You are makingblush."
"Ivy, you really are great. There are plenty of girls from wealthy families who are living in bubbles and don't know anything about
the real world," Robert said. "You have to stay alert at all times to prevent yourself from getting fooled."
Ivy nodded. "Mom, you guys haven't eaten, right? I've already eaten at the canteen at the TV station, so you should go ahead and
eat without me!"
"Haha, you seem to have no issues blending in," Averymented before handing Ivy's contract to Elliot.
"With Mr. Gardner by my side, everyone has been really kind to me," Ivy said. "The director encouragedduring my testing
session andplimentedafterward."
"You are such an endearing young woman. I'm sure everyone loves you."

In Avery's eyes, Ivy had no faults, and it was only natural for a mother to think their children were the best.
Ivy was reminded of her senior and wanted to say that there were people who disliked her, but she did not want her parents to
worry and decided against it.
While her parents ate, Ivy sat beside them and sipped on a bowl of soup.
Afterward, she returned to her room to rest.
She woke up early in the morning. She had been too nervous to sleep the night before due to the test session.
She had been tense the entire morning and did not relax until after the session had ended.
The warm soup had been perfect in preparing her for bed.
She had applied a light layer of makeup for her test session and went to the bathroom to remove it. Though she had only put on
foundation, drew her brows, and put on light-colored lipstick, she instantly looked far more energetic than she felt.
