Part 2Starlight Secrets: The True Heiress of the Sterling Empire

My parents divorced when Leo and I were very young.

He went with our dad, and I went with our mom. The public had no idea we were siblings.

Later, we both entered the entertainment industry. He became the youngest, most critically acclaimed A-list actor, while I became the "evil supporting actress" specialist with a legion of haters.

To avoid being gossiped about, we never publicly disclosed our relationship.

But that didn't mean we didn't care about each other.

Take, for example, that infamous video of "Jade Carter being a pathetic simp for Leo Sterling for 120 seconds."

The truth was, Leo and I were filming a travel reality show. He had been suffering from bad stomach aches, and our mom told me to make sure he drank his herbal medicine on time.

There weren't many supplies on the trip, so I found a coffee cup, poured the medicine in, and brought it to him.

Leo violently refused at first, but was eventually forced to drink it, making a face like his life was over because it was so bitter.

However, after the show's editing, the version the audience saw was:

Jade Carter brings Leo coffee.

Leo doesn't want to talk to her.

Jade forces him to drink it.

Leo, out of politeness, reluctantly takes a sip.

After drinking it, he rolls his eyes at Jade.

...

As for the video of me and my dad, if that paparazzo had just been a little closer, he would have heard me say: "Dad, Mom actually still cares about you. You know how she is, just stubborn. Look at this suit she custom-ordered for you, it fits perfectly..."

But the resulting video looked like this:

Jade Carter smiles fawningly, sycophantically stroking Mr. Sterling's arm. Mr. Sterling looks aloof and ignores her.

...

I really don't understand.

Everything I do is for our broken little family. Is it easy being me?

Why am I always the one getting hurt??
