Zack's cooking skills were perfect.
I only needed to casually mention the name of a dish or even a type of food. Then he could cook wonderful food.
The number of likes on our short videos was increasing.
Advertisers started approaching us.
By sharing kitchen favorites alone, we could easily earn tens of thousands of dollars in advertising fees.
I sat in the living room, waiting for food, while Zack was busy in the kitchen. His broad shoulders rendered the simple white T-shirt good. His tense arm lines were full of hormones as he was flipping the pan.
He was wearing gray casual home pants. His raised buttocks were faintly visible when he walked.
With his amazing body proportions, he could make himself look like a supermodel walking in a fashion show with a few casual clothes.
He was such a good man at home.
As we were living a comfortable life, an unexpected guest arrived.
"Julie, how have you been recently?"
I was a bit indifferent.
"As you can see, I'm doing well."
Zack sat next to me, serving food with his apron on.
Julia's gaze revealed a hint of envy and displeasure.
"Julie, we are sisters who grew up together since childhood. We promised to support each other in difficult times. Do you remember it?"
I sneered, saying, "What do you mean?"
Julia stopped pretending.
"You made money relying on Zack. Shouldn't you share half of it with me? After all, how could you have stumbled upon such a good cash cow like Zack if I hadn't chosen 01 Kendall back then?"
"Kendall wants to terminate the contract now. You have to pay the termination fee of 500 thousand dollars."
"She dared to say such words shamelessly."
"Speaking of a cash cow, it should be Kendall. Being a star, he easily earns tens of millions of dollars every month by filming, endorsing, and doing business.
But Kendall, who had a bad temper, was not easy to please. That was his flaw.
In addition, Julia had little understanding of marketing.
It was said that she took Kendall to participate in a talent show and signed with a company before.
The ones who debuted together with Kendall had acting opportunities and endorsements, while Kendall's career was stagnant. He was relying on a meager salary to live in a big city every month.
"Am I such a despicable person?"
"Why should I be rushing to give you money, begging you to spend it?"
Julia continued, saying, "Kendall is a clone produced by Dad. Seeing him living so poorly, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"What can a clone who doesn't eat or drink spend money on? Perhaps the only one who needs money is you. If you don't have 500 thousand dollars, I can give you 50 dollars to buy a few groceries. Do you want it?"
Julia had always been considering herself.
She had never considered others, even Kendall.
She was dreaming of becoming a famous agent.
After driving Julia away, I thought she should know better and not cause trouble again.
Unfortunately, I underestimated her.
Over these days, I had been on a business trip, and Zack was staying at home.
As soon as I entered the community, several middle-aged women surrounded me. It seemed that they had been gossiping for a long time.
When they saw me, their eyes lit up.
"Finally, you're back!"
"Oh my god, your house is almost burned down. How come you just come back?"
I was shocked, asking, "What? My house is on fire!"
After saying that, I hurriedly ran towards home.
A middle-aged woman grabbed me again and winked at me.
"It's not about the fire. It's that your husband has been targeted by someone!"
"The whole community has seen a woman running into your house, asking your husband to open the door."
"If you come back three days later, your husband might be snatched away."
After saying that, an aged woman with gray hair but great strength hammered my chest and looked at me teasingly.
"I've lived for most of my life. It's the first time I've seen someone train their husband so well. Teach me how."
I said, "Grandma, isn't your husband dead?"
With a longing for life, she said, "Even if my husband is dead, I still have to live. I'll participate in an elderly matchmaking event next month."
Just then, Zack suddenly shouted from the window.
"Julie, I missed you so much. Why did you come back so late?"
After saying that, he ran down in the blink of an eye. Taking my suitcase with one hand, he held my waist with the other and went home.
Seeing this, the women around us all cheered. With his appearance and excellent skills, Zack was popular in the community.
Back home, Zack brought the freshly brewed soup to me before starting to complain to me with a grievance.
"Julie, your sister, Julia, said she wants to modify the system for me. She said you agreed."
"Nonsense. I haven't been in contact with her for ages."
"Damn it."
"Julia is getting more shameless with each passing day."
"In the past, she killed me. Now she wants to snatch my replicant."
After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zack put on an apron and happily went to make pancakes for me.
While making pancakes, he muttered, "You should be at home. I knew you couldn't live without me. I take care of everything in this house."
I looked at Zack's broad and charming figure as he was flipping the pancakes high.
"Sigh. He is good in every way except for his nagging."
"They say the road is narrow for enemies, and it's true."
When Zack and I went out to buy ingredients, we happened to meet Julia and Kendall.
The vibe between the two of them seemed a bit off.
"Can't you be more successful? Those who debuted with you have become popular one after another. Do you know that I won't be able to afford the rent next month?"
"For you, I begged so many people to get this opportunity for a variety show. You act like a young master at home, but you can't even pretend in front of the camera and maintain your persona."
"Do you think this variety show is not high-class enough? If you want to go to a bigger platform, someone has to invite you."
Without any pity, Kendall said indifferently, "I think Mr. Wong quite likes you. Why don't you go find him?"
Julia was about to go crazy with anger.
"Speaking of the old pervert, can't you see that he wants to have sex with me? Do you have any conscience at all?"
"It's a case of what goes around comes around. Julia brought this upon herself."
"In her past life, she only saw Kendall's popularity skyrocketing and his endorsement fees soaring."
"But she had no idea about how many people I had begged and how much alcohol I had drunk to support him on the road to stardom. I had been taken advantage of by many aged men."
"Once, I almost got drunk and sent to the room of an aged man."
"Julia will not know the hardship I went through."
I asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Why are you arguing so loudly?"
Anyone could see that I came to throw a stone at Julia.
