Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 175

"Is this your friend? Joseph raised an eyebrow, noticing the way Lisa looked at him, her eyes wide with admiration. Joseph knew that look well. No doubt, she was one of his fans.

"Yes, Joseph. This is Lisa Braily, the youngest daughter of Uncle Keith from the Brady family, Ashley revealed.

Ashley was fully aware that one of the reasons Lisa got close to her was because of her popular third brother, but she pretended not to know. In fact, she welcomed it. This way, she could better manipulate Lisa for her own purposes, keeping her in check.

After all, Joseph was Ashley's biological brother. Even though Ashley felt Lisa wasn't worthy of him, as he was the best, she was willing to use Joseph to keep Lisa pleased, all for the sake of her future and her interests.

"From the Brady family. When Joseph thought of that family, his mind drifted to Selina. He clicked his tongue softly but kept his composure. Instead of venting his frustration on Lisa or Ashley, he maintained his manners. "Okay, Lisa, Ashley, let's go downstairs for dinner." "Um..." Lisa blushed furiously, and her words came out in broken fragments as her throat grew dry. She struggled to form a coherent sentence.

Ashley suppressed a smile. Joseph. Lisa is your fan. She's probably hoping for your autograph and a photo."

Yes. Ashley's right. I know you rarely make public appearances and prefer to keep a low profile, focusing on your career. So. since this is such a rare opportunity..." Lisa stammered. Joseph replied. "Normally, I wouldn't, but since it's Ashley's friend, I'll make an exception."

"Really?" Lisa was over the moon. Ever since Joseph's debut in his first drama, "Flowers in Fog," she had been infatuated with him and became one of his loyal fans. Yet, Joseph was notoriously low-key, promoting only the dramas or films he worked. on and rarely holding autograph sessions, much less offering photo opportunities.

Lisa, who had both the money and time to chase after her favorite celebrities, had only managed to get Joseph's autograph up until now, but never a photo. When she found out Joseph was Ashley's biological brother, she was overjoyed. At last, she had the chance to meet him in person. Not only that, she could get a photo with him thanks to her connection with Ashley. Lisa felt as if she were dreaming. Bliss overwhelmed her.

After fulfilling Lisa's wish, the group headed downstairs for dinner. Joseph leaned in and spoke in a low voice that only Ashley could hear. "Ashley, the deal for the variety show 'Serenity of Rural Life has been finalized. There are two open spots. I'll take you with me." "Really?" Ashley's eyes lit up, but then she grew worried. "Is that okay? Joseph, you have your own career to focus on, and you've never been one to participate in variety shows. I know you're doing this just for me..."

"My manager has been pushing me to stop keeping such a low profile and to appear on more variety shows to boost my popularity and make more money. I never cared about that before, but now I do. It's because of you, silly girl. Joseph affectionately ruffled Ashley's hair, his eyes filled with doting warmth. "Knowing that you want to enter this industry makes me so happy, little sister. You've chosen the same career path as I have. 'Serenity of Rural Life is a prime-time show with high ratings. You've already built a small fan base from the commercials you've done before, and with me by your side, if you perform well, you'll definitely gain a lot of popularity and opportunities."

"Thank you, Joseph. Thank you for supporting my dreams!" Ashley was deeply moved, her eyes welling up with tears. If it weren't for Lisa's presence, she would have thrown herself into Joseph's arms and acted spoiled.

With a brother like Joseph guiding her and the Harvey family backing her, Ashley was bound to find smooth sailing in her
