Before long, they returned back home and got some rest.

The following day, Lilah woke up at around 11 a.m.

Gerard and Jerrold had already left the apartment by this time.

She saw plates of food on the dining table and a note written by Gerard, saying, "ve prepared lunch for you. If it's gotten cold, just heat it up and eat."

When Lilah opened the lids of the plates, what she saw was not just lunch but also the same delicious desserts she had eaten the previous day. She couldn't help but break into a smile as she went to warm up the food. After that, she sat down and began to eat while checking her work messages.

After dealing with work for a while, Lilah turned her attention to the Internet. The news about her being A Fond Dream had caused a small sensation online. As a result, her fan base had increased.

At this point, the viewership of their TV drama was the highest, directly overshadowing that of Tess' new drama.

Those who had claimed that Effie was no good had now been proven wrong.

Clearly, she was not just good but actually excellent! Apart from her wonderful looks, her acting skills were top-notch.

Soon, most of the comments about her online contained nothing but praises.

Meanwhile, Tess was not happy with this development at all. She had always been a top player in the industry. When she learned that Lilah was A Fond Dream, she was even more convinced that the role was given to Effie as a result of Lilah's arrangements. So she immediately hired a group of internet trolls to attack them.

"Tsk, tsk. Effie indeed got the lead role through her connections.

Since Lilah had already decided to curry favor with her wealthy sister-in-law, why didn't she just admit it openly in the first place?

Why waste people's time by making them go for auditions?"

"Lilah has no iota of humanity at all. Tess is her aunt, yet, she gave this role to an outsider. It shows just how desperate she is to marry into a wealthy family.”

“Effie is such a disgusting and shameless person! How could she snatch Tess’ role just like that?"

But it didn't take long before these trolls were countered by netizens.

Effie's acting skills had become evident to everyone out there, so it felt ridiculous to hear someone claim otherwise.

“Effie didn't act well? Are you kidding?"

"Clearly a troll, or maybe a crazy fan of Tess. Effie's performance was so good that I watched it over and over again."

"Tess can't handle this new development, huh? She can't stand a rising star being better than her, eh?"

Tess was initially smug when the trolls swung into action, but now that they had been rebuked by other netizens, it became clear that those who had watched the TV drama couldn't be swayed by anti-Effie comments.

Tess was furious. As far as she was concerned, these people were fools who had no discernment!

In anger, she threw her phone on the floor.
