After my family went bankrupt, I entered the entertainment industry to support my sister's education. In order to make money, I endured the advances of older men and even drank until I had stomach bleeding. My usually calm sister criticized me for being too eager for success and not respecting myself, but she used my money to help others and gain a good reputation. In order to get her a famous teacher, I exposed the scandals of her competitors. She accused me of being ruthless and malicious, but she didn't refuse the opportunities I fought for her. Later, she became a famous painter while I suffered from the revenge of her competitors, ruined my reputation, and accumulated huge debts. I asked her to ask her wealthy boyfriend for help, but she said, "Sister, I told you before that we should be kind and not have malicious thoughts. Look, you are now facing retribution!" She refused to help me in order to make me realize my mistakes. I was forced to jump off a building. When I opened my eyes, I was back to the day I entered the entertainment industry.
After my family went bankrupt, I joined the entertainment business to make money so that my older sister could continue with her study.
For money, I endured the old men's flirtation.
I drank so much at dinner parties that my stomach bled.
My older sister, who had always been indifferent and aloof, blamed me for being eager for quick success and instant benefit and having low self-esteem.
On the other hand, she used my money to help others and earned a good reputation.
To help her get guidance from a famous teacher, I exposed the scandal of her competitor.
She blamed me for being ruthless and vicious.
However, she didn't refuse the opportunity I gave her.
Later on, she became a famous painter.
I was retaliated crazily by her competitors. My reputation was ruined and I was heavily in debt.
I told her to ask her affluent boyfriend for help.
However, she said, "My dear sister, I've told you a long time ago we should be kind. We can't have those vicious thoughts. Look! You've been punished."
She refused to help me in order to make me realize my mistake.
I was forced to jump off the building.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had returned to the day when I just entered the entertainment business.

In the hotel lobby, the bald director slapped me on the buttock with his fat hand.
"Good job, Raelyn. Don't forget to audition tomorrow."
With a stiff smile on my face, I watched him leave.
When I turned around, I happened to meet my older sister, Natalia Hewitt.
She scowled at me.
Her gaze on me was full of disdain and embarrassment.
A few minutes later, in a quiet corner, Natalia raised her chin and looked down at me, saying the same words as I'd heard in my previous life.
"Raelyn, you want to hook up with such a disgusting old man. Why don't you have self-respect? My classmates have seen it. You make me feel ashamed and disgusted."
The undisguised disgust in her eyes made me feel like a maggot in the toilet.
As the daughter of a former wealthy family, Natalia was always the focus.
As her younger sister, however, I was much more miserable.
I was kidnapped when I was five years old and grew up in an orphanage.
After turning 18, I was found by the Hewitt family. However, a few months later, the Hewitt family went bankrupt.
My father jumped off the building, and my mother died of illness.
Natalia was my only family.
I didn't want her to suffer.
Hence, I suspended school and gave her the chance to go to school.
She majored in fine arts, which cost a lot of money.
Therefore, I entered the entertainment business for money.
Without any connections, I could only bow to the director and rely on my looks to gain opportunities.
Today in my previous life, I drank with that disgusting director humbly just for a small supporting role.
When the dinner was over, I bumped into Natalia, who came to the same restaurant for dinner.
She didn't care about me being taken advantage of or working hard for money.
She only knew I'd disgraced her.
Even though I had always emphasized it was for work and money, she still didn't listen to me.
"Can't you make money by doing other jobs? Why do you have to do this? Why can't you spend less? Can you stop being so vain? If you make money in this way, I won't even dare to spend it. "
In my previous life, I cared so much about my sister that I thought everything she said was correct.
I even blamed myself for humiliating her.
However, after blaming me for being vain, she took away the thousand dollars I had left and invited her classmates to dinner.
She took away all my money without considering how I would live in the future, nor did she thank me. Instead, she complained I didn't give her enough money and didn't make enough money.
I should have seen it clearly.
She was wearing an indifferent and aloof mask in public.
Selfishness was her true nature.
For her sake, I had offended others and ruined my reputation. I had nothing in the end.
She had the ability to save me but chose to watch coldly.
She was not only heartless but also shameless.
Thinking of that, I snorted and reached out my hand to her.
"Natalia, my money is unwanted. It's indeed difficult for you to accept it. I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Give me back the bank card I gave you before."
