"However, there was a period when the filming studio did not film many period dramas anymore. Many of the extras were starving so I didn't have anything to eat anymore either. It’s fine for me to go a little hungry. However, my two children can't go hungry. They cried at the top of their lungs because they were hungry. At that moment, the boss of Marshpoly Agency, Bonnie Murphy, saw that I was carrying two children, so she took the initiative to give me some food. She even asked if I'm willing to be an extra for a period drama that their company had taken on."
"And you agreed?” Minerva asked.
Mila smiled miserably. "Before I had the accident, I had already made up my mind to be an actress. I've even had everything ironed out with the director, Mister Cameron. However, I didn’t manage to become an actress after what happened to me. When Bonnie came to be at that time, I agreed without missing a beat at all. I then went to her agency. She gave me food to eat. She bought some formula for my children to drink I was especially grateful for her at that time."
Minerva could almost think of something, so she asked, "Just because you’re grateful that she saved you, fed you, and bought some formula for your children, you wouldn’t have acted in her films without any pay, right?"
Mila shook her head. "I was truly too silly. In the past, I had always been with my parents, Marcus loved me very much, and Sabrina and Ruth would protect me. I never knew people in this world could be that evil. I felt that Bonnie was so nice to me, so I told her about my painful experience. I just treated it like I'm just complaining to her."
Minerva was speechless.
"I thought she was a good person. What I didn't expect was that after she asked me to be an extra for her agency, she arranged for me to shoot many, many films and dramas every day. I had to work from six in the morning to two in the morning the following day. The only time I could see my children every day was the few hours I had when I returned to my rental unit to sleep. However, even so, Bonnie kept urging me to give my children away to someone else. She even asked me to sell them off. She said even if I could only get a small amount of money from selling them, it's still money. However, I've acted in so many shows for her, she actually did not give me a single penny at all. It was only then that I knew her company was exploiting others. I knew that I certainly won't be able to get any money if I were still in her company. She might even make my children go missing. Therefore, I ran away from her company in secret. After that, I no longer stayed around the city in the northwestern area. I carried my children with me, and I worked odd jobs and begged for food along the way. It took me half a year to be able to save enough money for the ticket to return to South City. After I arrived in South City, I didn't go looking for my parents immediately. Instead, I went straight to the filming studio in South City. I felt that I already had a little bit of experience, so I wanted to try my luck. Just like that, I got myself my first actual speaking role. After that, I stayed in South City for good. I've not been in contact with Bonnie for almost three years. I didn't expect that she would actually impersonate me and go to my parent's house. Her appearance has become like mine, but I could tell from her voice that she is Bonnie."
As soon as Mila said that, the door of her ward was opened.
Sabrina walked in and called out directly," Yvonne, could you tell me what has happened in all these years when you were living out there?"
