Chapter 458
“The first order of business, I'm hanging up my hat.”
What?! As soon as the words left her mouth, it was like someone had dropped a bomb in the middle of the
stadium. The crowd went absolutely wild.
“Hanging up her hat? Did | hear that right?”
“She’s at the peak of her popularity, the future's bright with stardom. Quitting now? She’s kidding, right?”
“Xan?!”
Oliver nearly choked on his own breath when he heard she was quitting. His niece had always been a little
troublemaker, always giving him “surprises”, but this was the ultimate shock. His dreams of managing a world-
class superstar were shattering before they even fully took off!

“Xan’s quitting? Why so sudden, didn’t even give us a heads-up?” Samuel was taken aback, his gaze finally
landing on Orion with suspicion, asking, “Orion, don’t tellyou pushed her into quitting?”
Sold-money families had this annoying trait of looking down on the entertainment industry. If he had
anything to do with it....
“No.”
A storm seemed to pass through Orion's eyes, but it quickly settled. It seemed he understood her decision.

[Folks, it must be my ears playing tricks on me, right? Xan'’s quitting? How's that even possible? | can’t accept
this, and | won't allow it!!! [This must be ssort of joke, right? She's the biggest nin showbiz right now,
the dream peak of many. How could she possibly quit at a tlike this?]
[But she’s not just anyone; she’s a Nightshade, an heiress. Maybe she really doesn’t care about for
popularity and is like those TV s where they just quit and go hto inherit their fortune! Though | wish it
was a joke, sad face.]
[Ah Xan, don’t scarelike this, | can’t live without you, and showbiz can't either!]
[Please, this is my first tbeing a fan. How can | withstand such a blow? Everyone else’s idol is falling apart,
and mine just decided to walk away???]
[Xan, jokes are supposed to be funny, how am | supposed to go on without you!]
[Haha, this has got to be a joke. You guys are so gullible. Trust me, if this isn’t a joke, I'll eat my hat!
Xanthea, looking down at the restless crowd, continued, “During my tin the entertainment industry, I've
been incredibly lucky. I've worked with great casts, played amazing roles, had talented directors, and made
wonderful friends and partners, And I've gained a group of adorable fans, for which I'm truly grateful.

But I've always dreamed of being a scientist since little, and I've worked hard towards that dream for many
years. It's rooted deep within me, blossomed, and becan integral part of who | am, and | can’t give it up. So,
I'm sorry to disappoint everyone. Maybe we’ll meet again, in another place, in another way.”
Her speech left the room filled with sighs and expressions of regret, except for Isabella, who looked on with
admiration and longing Xanthea was always Xanthea, unchanged, always true to her heart, fearlessly pursuing
her dreams, never lost in the superficial glitz and glamour.
Over the years, Isabella had tried to emulate her, perhaps drawn by her genuine sincerity and fearlessness. But
