For His Sister, He is a Big Hit in The Entertainment Industry1
For My Sister, He Tore Through the Entertainment Industry
My sister was a little-known actress in the show business, someone who barely made it onto the C-list.
But one night, she was drugged by a fellow actress and delivered into the hands of some lowlifes.
Unable to bear the humiliation, she chose to end her own life.
That day, my brother-in-law lost his mind.
Not long after, he became a superstar, an actor famous across the country. One day, he appeared on a show with the very woman responsible for my sister’s death.
The host asked, “Coleman, what’s your biggest regret?”

My sister and brother-in-law had just gotten married and invited me over for dinner.
As soon as I walked in, I saw the newlyweds playfully bantering with each other, my sister’s face glowing with happiness.
My elder sister, Harriet Lynn, was a small-time actress, making a living by taking on supporting roles in TV dramas.
My brother-in-law, Evan Coleman, came from a poor background. He had just been accepted into a PhD program and wasn’t earning money yet.
This made my already materialistic parents look down on him, seeing him as nothing more than a leech.
But my sister loved Evan deeply and insisted on marrying him, even if it meant cutting ties with our parents.
Their wedding was a small, intimate affair. Only I was invited, as they said that having me as a witness was enough.
Despite their lack of money, they were incredibly happy together.
As I stood there, taking it all in, my sister noticed me at the door and smiled, “Erin, you’re here! Come in and have dinner with us.”
I changed into house slippers while Evan brought out the plates from the kitchen, filling the room with a mouthwatering aroma.
“Harriet, you and Erin go ahead and start. I’ll whip up a couple more courses,” Evan said with a cheerful smile.
Harriet pulled him to the table. “Hey, it’s just the three of us. No need to cook so much. Come on, sit down.”
Just as we were about to eat, Harriet’s phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, her expression tightened.
She hesitated for a moment before heading into the bedroom to take the call.
“Who is it?” I asked, noticing the name on the screen, a name I’d never seen before.
Evan scratched his head. “Perhaps her new agent? She’s probably got something to discuss.”
