Chapter 366

"Penelope…"

"I've been through so much to get where I am today. Even if no one watches the dramas I'm in and my popularity declines, it's my own problem. The entertainment industry is vast. Does everyone who's better than me have to be seen as a threat?"

"That's not true. It's because Miranda relies on her patron..."

"Let's not speak ill of others. I don't want to hear that kind of talk. You know me well. I've made plenty of mistakes in the past, so now I need to cherish myself more and protect my reputation."

Penelope cherished her future immensely. What she despised the most was using jealousy of others' achievements to elevate oneself.

She and Miranda were fundamentally different. She had climbed up from the bottom and understood the hardships within. Miranda, on the other hand, was born with a silver spoon, born into unfairness.

Without that privilege, Penelope relied on her own efforts to strive for what she wanted. She believed that one day she would reach the peak.
