Chapter 227: I am not the one who got the short end of the stick
[SHORT FLASHBACK]
"I need to know the preview, and I’ll make it happen. Maybe even better."
If there was a lesson Fil learned all this time was not to put all her eggs in the same basket. However, she also learned that sometimes, she needed to take a leap of faith.

"What do you mean?"
