Vicky came to audition for "Lost City" because she didn't know Summer was the scriptwriter.
However, Vicky should know about it if she read the news in the past two days.
On her way back, a white minivan stopped in front of her when she had just left the Film and TV City.
The door opened with a swishing sound, and Vicky, who was wearing sunglasses, got out of the minivan.
It was August. Vicky took pains to wear a leather jacket in order to make a fashion statement.
Vicky crossed her arms and went up to Summer. Raising her chin slightly, she said with arrogance, "I heard from your... mom that you are also in Film and TV City." Summer didn't say anything, looking at Vicky.
Vicky was offended by Summer's disregard, but when she thought of her own goal, she had to stifle her anger. "Did you write 'Lost City'?"
"Yes." Summer wanted to see what kind of trick Vicky was playing.
Vicky took off her sunglasses and said, "Are you on good terms with the producer of 'Lost City'? I like the script. I don't have to be the leading actress, and you can get me an important supporting role. I'll wipe the slate clean, and you can come back to us."
"Wipe the slate clean?"
Summer sneered. "What do you mean by wiping the slate clean? Did I ever do anything to you? Go back to you? I don't even want to go back even if you beg me."
Vicky was surprised that Summer was so ungrateful. Her face was distorted by rage. "This is the last chance I give you. Seeing you alone and helpless outside, I give you a chance to come back to us, but you are so ungrateful!"
How could Summer not know what Vicky was thinking?
The chance that Vicky talked about was to boss her around like in the old days, when Summer pretended to be stupid and ugly.
Vicky had a good scheme, but Summer would not fall for it like a fool.
"I am ungrateful. You can leave this opportunity to someone else."
"You..."
Summer moved around Vicky and left.
Summer knew the Jarretts well, expecting that Vicky would not give up easily.
As expected, the next day she received a phone call from Lynn.
The only merit of Lynn was probably his unlimited love for his children, of course, except for Summer.
"Why don't you come home since you're back in Hoover?" Lynn didn't mention that he had disowned Summer in an announcement on newspaper, as if he had lost his memory.
Summer did not intend to let Lynn get away like this. She reminded him, "Mr. Lynn, since you've forgotten, let me remind you that we are no longer father and daughter."
Lynn completely ignored her words. "I can forgive you if you are willing to come back."
Summer wanted to laugh.
"What did I do to you to ask for your forgiveness?"
Summer felt that she would never be able to know what was on the Jarretts' mind. It was clear that she had always been used and abandoned.
However, the Jarretts thought she had done something wrong to them. Now, they were kind enough to forgive her and allow her to go back to them.
Lynn's voice turned cold. "You know well what you've done. No matter what happened, you should be grateful to us for bringing you up. Now it is time for you to repay our kindness."
"Mr. Lynn, if you have time, you'd better go to the hospital and have your brain examined to see if there is something wrong with it." After Summer spoke, she hung up the phone.
She poured herself a large glass of water and drained it. Letting out a long sigh of relief, she sat down on the sofa.
There were no food ingredients at home, so she decided to go shopping. Summer drove to the nearest supermarket. When she returned, she found a luxury car parked at the entrance to the apartment building.
