The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 581

Seeing her cousin Hans' nephew and Gabriel's brother raking in fans like it was nothing made Michelle feel like a pauper in comparison. Every time she saw them, it was like a punch to her self-esteem.

She had figured that Lucky's sister wouldn't get much screen time on their live stream, not enough to make a splash. But then, out of nowhere, one picture hit the internet, and her fanbase exploded, leaving Michelle in the dust.

How was she supposed to cope with that?

Michelle dug her nails into the plush of the sofa, so agitated she felt like she could tear the fabric apart.

Heather, watching her cousin's frustration, said, "Calm down, will you? It's just a tweet. What's the big deal?"

She remembered when Michelle had been trolled by a bunch of burner accounts during a live stream, facing a barrage of ridicule, and yet, she hadn't blown a fuse like this. Her cousin really needed to learn to take things in stride.

Michelle bit her lip and cast her eyes downward, going silent.

Heather massaged her temples before speaking up. "Alright, I'll talk to my agent, see if there's a role that fits you coming up. I'll put in a word for you."

Michelle's face lit up at that, the clouds of gloom dispersing. She wrapped her arms around Heather's, gratitude pouring from her, "Thank you, cuz! You're the best!"

Heather, slightly repulsed by the clinginess, pushed her away. "Get a grip and stop sweating the small stuff. Instead of wasting your time on people who don't matter, why don't you work on improving your acting?"

Michelle nodded vigorously, "Yeah, I got it!"

With the right opportunities and the Pledger family name to lean on, she was confident she wouldn't be left behind—a step up from the nameless wannabes in showbiz.
