Chapter 82 Concert Guest Appearance
Sylvia’s phone lit up with a new message; it was from Bark, telling her that he had made the official announcement. The concert was set for the 12th of next month. Originally, there were plans for three shows, but Bark decided to perform just one. He had told his agent that, with his sister finally free from the chains of marriage, he wanted to spend time with her to help her heal her heart. And so, he wasn’t All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
a show which, with Sylvia as a guest, finally got interested in working beyond that single performance scheduled.
Sylvia received Bark’s message along with another one from her brother and his agent. He had no choice but to vent to her about Bark’s approach.
“Are you even listening to me?” Ingrid complained, growing more exasperated. She had been speaking at length, and Sylvia hadn’t said a word -instead, she was smiling over something on her phone. Why should she be so happy, especially when she had obtained her position through questionable means, as Ingrid believed? How could she possibly deserve to be here, being joyful?
Sylvia tucked her phone away and stared at Ingrid as though she were a clown throwing a fit.
“If you’re so capable, then why don’t you go ahead and seal the deal yourself? Don’t think I don’t know why you came here today – you wanted to take the credit for my work. Now, I’ve given you the chance, why aren’t you seizing it?” Sylvia’s retort turned the tables on Ingrid, who was left open– mouthed and incapable of response as Sylvia left with Juliet and Jack in tow.
Sylvia’s car sped off, leaving only a trail of exhaust behind. Ingrid choked on the fumes and spitefully spat on the ground as she watched Sylvia’s car disappear.
“What’s there to be smug about? Just you wait; I’ll take over your position sooner or later. After all, you stole what was mine. We’ll see how long you can stay pleased with yourself!” Ingrid always felt Sylvia had robbed her of her rightful place, never once considering her own shortcomings. But Sylvia simply didn’t care about Ingrid’s outrage enjoying her victory.
Once in the car, Sylvia and Juliet were immediately absorbed in the news on their phones.
“I thought your brother would wait a while longer before making the announcement. I’m surprised it was so soon. And we don’t even know if the twins can make it back by then. Oh, and remind your brother to save me a ticket – I want one right in the center, where the interaction happens.”
Sylvia couldn’t help but laugh wryly at Juliet’s list of demands. Bark could be stingy; getting tickets from him was already lucky enough, let alone tickets with audience interaction.
“Oh my god, your brother just posted a photo. Last time he did that, a lot of people started guessing about your identity. Now that you’re announced as a concert guest, it’s even more intriguing. What do you think the netizens will say? Might they suspect some improper relationship between you and your brother?” Juliet teased with a playful smirk.
Sylvia slapped the top of Juliet’s head in mock annoyance.
“Don’t you know better than to spread such nonsense about me and my brother? Cut it out, or he really will get mad at you when he hears this,” Sylvia scolded.
Chapter 82 Concert Guest Appearance
Juliet covered her head, feigning hurt from Sylvia’s tap. “All right, all right, I won’t say anymore, happy now?
she said with a pout.
Sylvia shook her head in exasperation and returned to scrolling through the online comments. Everyone… was stunned by Bark’s announcement about the concert and the reveal that Sylvia would be a guest. No one in the entertainment world had ever heard of Sylvia before–it was as if she had popped up out of
nowhere.
Of course, people came to know of Sylvia because of the highly publicized divorce with Cyril. Additionally, there was the incident where she was falsely accused, and when the truth came out, it led to a twist where those who framed her ended up facing consequences. This sparked even more curiosity about whether Sylvia had some powerful backing–how else could she always emerge unscathed from every confrontation and even turn the tables on her adversaries? Though the outcome was satisfying, the process left people filled with wonder.
Beyond the curiosity about Sylvia’s identity, many were concerned about her appearance at the concert. Could she handle the spotlight? After all, Sylvia wasn’t known as a singer, and the thought of her sharing the stage with Bark worried his fans. They feared a potential disaster and flocking to the company’s social media pages, pleading for Sylvia to be dropped from the lineup, fearing she wasn’t suitable for the
event at the moment.
Sylvia scrolled through these comments with a mixture of amusement and disbelief. She wasn’t expecting Bark to be so flamboyant about it; she had thought her involvement would be revealed at the concert itself. Now, with the situation blown out of proportion, she half–expected a public outcry against
her.
Though Sylvia wasn’t worried about netizens discovering her true identity, the constant attention felt uncomfortably intrusive, like being under surveillance.
After browsing a while, her phone rang–it was Bark calling.
“Seen all that buzz online? What do you think? Pretty impressive of your brother to stir things up, right?” There was a hint of swagger in Bark’s voice; he wanted the whole world to know about his unique
relationship with Sylvia.
“Big bro, don’t you think today’s announcement was a bit too much? If you did all this just to declare our sibling relationship, that’s fine by me. But if not, I find it quite troubling,” Sylvia replied, her tone conveying
her discomfort.
“What’s there to be troubled about? I’m on your side, and I did all this to let everyone know you’re my sister. Prepare yourself, because at the concert, I’ll make sure everyone knows that fact. But for now, just bear with the aftermath a bit. You’ve dealt with things like this before, right?”
