Chapter 225:
Many viewers online mirrored Yvonne’s skepticism. Like Yvonne, they were dumbfounded at the revelation. For them, it felt like a celebrity had stepped into an utterly mundane moment—the disparity was almost dreamlike.
Aiden observed the unfolding drama, his gaze flickering with a trace of understanding before settling into a quiet relief. Although Janice had always been an enigma, wrapped in layers of mystery, her being unveiled as RAIN wasn’t as shocking as one might expect.
Still, a gut feeling nagged at him, suggesting that there was much more to Janice’s story than just the identity of RAIN.
A ghost of a smile played across Aiden’s lips as curiosity sparked within him. Janice had become an enigma he yearned to unravel, her true capabilities a mystery that beckoned to be solved.
As RAIN, she stood atop the music industry like a queen on her throne, wielding enough influence to move through life unopposed. Yet she was willing to engage in this fake marriage with him. Why? For a fleeting moment, he wondered if the Green family’s fortune was her ultimate goal.
The thought drew a bitter laugh from him as he remembered the contract between them. Once the shares changed hands, she would vanish from his life, leaving no threads to bind them together. Besides, someone who commanded the kind of power Janice did hardly needed to rely on the Green family’s backing.
The realization settled heavily in his chest as he watched her illuminate the stage. For the first time in his life, Aiden felt the unsettling sensation of losing his grip on the situation. His hunger to understand her grew with each passing moment, even as the knowledge of their inevitable parting gnawed at his peace.
In the live broadcast, Nolan’s voice cut through the tension with unwavering conviction. “I stake my entire music career on this truth—Janice is RAIN. I witnessed her performance at the royal banquet. Though RAIN wore a mask that night, I’ve compared them carefully. They are undeniably the same person. Janice is RAIN, the idol I’ve always admired.”

The declaration sent ripples of bewilderment through the audience. While Nolan’s admiration for the mysterious RAIN had made sense before, his continued worship now that she’d revealed herself as a young woman struck many as peculiar.
“Well, Ms. Byrd?” Vernon’s lips curved into a taunting smile. “RAIN stands before us now. Shouldn’t you be offering your apologies? Better hurry up.”
Yvonne’s face flushed with mortification. Her remarks from earlier now returned to haunt her. She’d calculated her risks based on one crucial assumption: RAIN’s absence.
Even if there were repercussions later, the company would take the heat. But now, RAIN was standing before her.
The live revelation of RAIN’s identity sparked an immediate chain reaction, rippling from the studio audience to millions of online viewers.
“Oh my gosh! This development is so dramatic! RAIN, who’s guarded her identity for years, just revealed herself on live television? And she’s Carman Edwards’ sister of all people? Indeed dramatic!”
“This is hilarious! The Edwards family must have lost their minds to cast out someone of her caliber. With RAIN’s influence, she could have been the rising tide to lift their entire family—especially Carman’s career. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!”
