Behind The Spotlight Chapter 123
Isabella was right. Chantal's dream had always been to become a famous singer, a dream she had held in her heart since childhood. That very dream was also one of the reasons her parents had cast her out.
When Chantal turned 18, her parents decided she could live on her own and kicked her out. They felt no guilt about it, convinced she had no future compared to her younger sister, who collected awards every year and embodied everything they valued. To them, Chantal's dream of becoming a singer was nothing but foolishness, a waste of time.
Since then, Chantal had lived with her friend's family in a small yet warm home. She was grateful to Isabella and her parents for taking her in without judgment, only kindness. Chantal worked as a waitress on weekdays to cover her expenses, singing only on weekends at the train station.
"If you want to meet this talent agent, then take me with you. I'll be ready to call the police if he tries anything shady."
Isabella could see Chantal's hesitation about whether to contact the talent agent, so she gave her friend a push.
"I want to prove to my parents that I'll become a famous singer."
"That's the spirit. And once you're famous, don't ever help them. They kicked you out last year, and they never truly supported you."
"T-That sounds kinda bad."
