Chapter 28
Behind The Spotlight Chapter 28
William's cooperation with the filming lasted only a day. Despite his interest, he understood that his priorities had to shift. Summer was ending, and he now had to focus on his college years. His father was adamant about ensuring that each of his children finished college and earned a degree. There was no way around it. Ellijah Edward believed that as long as one had an education, they had the knowledge to survive in this cruel world.
So, even though his children lived privileged lives and could easily rely on their inheritance, Ellijah still insisted they obtain at least a bachelor's degree. That was the minimum requirement, the foundation. In fact, it was one of the criteria for his children to be eligible to inherit his wealth and properties.
Because of that, William also had to go to college, whether he liked it or not. He wasn't aiming for the Ivy League, he knew his capabilities. He wasn't dumb, but he also wasn't going to get into a university like Harvard. So, he enrolled in a regular university.
"...Acting's not that bad," William muttered while driving his sports car with the top down, letting the wind ruffle his hair. He realized acting was fun. Even though his role was just a background character, he found it interesting... although he had no intention of ever partaking in a strip-tease, or whatever that was. That part was too much for him. After that bizarre experience, William never stepped foot in a strip club again and started behaving like a good person.
William had no clear path in life. He knew he couldn't compete with his older siblings for control of Database Giant. They were too accomplished, too far ahead. Besides, his father was still healthy. There was no looming succession battle.
Perhaps he could try to find a profession in the entertainment industry. A beginning, something of his own. Lila Seraphina might be able to help him.
