Chapter 161 
After finishing her second bowl, Aisha said she was full. 
Ray leaned over to check the thermos, and there was just enough for one more person, 
Ray hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday. He was really starting to feel hungry. 
“Connor, serve me a bowl,” he said, extending the cup Aisha had just used. It was the only bowl they had. 
He couldn’t help but glance at Aisha. She was talking to Flora, seemingly oblivious to their side. Luckily she didn’t notice, or she definitely wouldn’t have let him use her bowl. 
After drinking, Ray was still hungry, so he pulled Connor downstairs to have a meal. 
In the hospital room, Aisha and Flora were chatting when suddenly Aisha said, “Flora, you’re nothing like the rumors. The Flora in those stories doesn’t sound too great. But the you now are strong and brave.” 
“Rumors are never reliable,” Flora replied with a smile. 

“But rumors don’t come out of thin air” Aisha leaned against the pillow, looking pale due to illness. She gazed at Flora, ‘I’m curious, how did you become like this in such a short time?” 
“The old me was foolish, Flora laughed, a hint of self–mockery in her voice. “Foolish enough not to see who truly cared for me, unable to distinguish who was really good to me. As a result, I paid a painful price. My change is because I found something I wanted to change for, someone I wanted to protect.” 
Something to change for, and someone to protect. 
Aisha pondered, what was it that she wanted to protect? 
After her parents died, her uncle’s family bullied her, as she’s just an orphan. They used the excuse of her weak health to send her to the Brimer family in Cedarvale. 
Her health was frail, and despite her unwillingness, she had no choice. 
Now, Jules had already performed surgery on her, telling her that she was cured. She’s no different from a normal person. 
A thought suddenly came to Aisha’s mind. Suddenly, she felt a desire to compete. 
Florik Entertainment is a scene of desolation. 
All the artists gathered for a meeting, listening to Hennik speak, all seemed disheartened. 
These days, Wade had been targeting Henrik. 
Henrik had barely secured a major script when he snatched it away. 
Moreover, he had blocked many

any resources for Henrik’s artists. 
ult, many roles that were almost secured by the artists fell through. 
For several days now, Henrik’s artists couldn’t land any ads or scripts, making them the subject of ridicule in the industry. 
Naturally, they harbored some resentment. 
-Initially, they had joined Florik Entertainment following Rafael, only for things to turn out this way. 
Compared to them, Rafael was leisurely playing a video game, looking completely relaxed and at ease. 
Seeing their expressions, Henrik knew they were not pleased. “Ladies and gentlemen, i know these times have been tough for all of us. I’ve gathered you here to say…” 
“Sorry, I didn’t know you were in a meeting.” 
Henrik was interrupted before he could finish. 
Wade walked in with a big grin, followed by a couple dozen menacing bodyguards. 
Henrik’s expression darkened instantly. Wade acted as if he owned the place. What were those security guards doing?
