A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 3

A few days later, Demi received a call inviting her to participate in a show called "I Love Nature: A Live Variety Show".

Ana was a famous celebrity, and Demi had been her assistant in her past life.

Once, when the crew was short of an extra actress, the director had asked Demi to step in. As a result, by sheer coincidence, she had begun acting too, though only in small villainous roles.

It wasn't until she met a director named Matt Hahn that things changed.

Matt had thought that she was perfect for the lead role in "Moonlight", which he had been filming at the time. That was the only movie in which Demi had starred in as the female lead in her previous life.

She could say that Matt was her benefactor for recognizing her talent and giving her an opportunity.

Thus, she agreed to the invitation.

…

Demi went to the address given by the crew and entered a café in town.

As soon as she entered, she saw a few members of the Pitt family there. Ana and Michelle were there, along with Demi's two brothers, Daniel Pitt and Thomas Pitt.

They were sitting with their backs to her and facing a middle-aged man.

Demi recalled what had happened.

In her past life, Ana had been invited to participate in this very show. The Pitt family was worried about her being mistreated, so they had gone to make sure that Thomas, who was already an A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry, could also join the show to protect her.

With a look of hesitation and concern on her face, Michelle asked the director across from her, "Mr. Jameson, your show seems quite dangerous, no? If it's too dangerous, my daughter won't participate."

Richard Jameson, the director of "I Love Nature", replied with a smile, "It might get a little tough, but we have all the necessary security measures in place to ensure the safety of our participants."

"What events and setups will the program have? I'd like to hear more," Michelle said.

"Mrs. Pitt, please wait a moment. I have another celebrity to meet, and then I'll explain everything to you together," Richard said, pulling out his phone and dialing a number.

Michelle looked a little displeased by this, but she maintained her composure while elegantly sipping on her coffee.

Just then, the old phone in Demi's pocket rang. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before answering the call, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Demi, where are you? Are you almost here?" Richard asked.

"I'm here," Demi replied calmly before walking toward Richard's table with steady steps.

Demi?

When the Pitt family members heard that name, their expressions immediately changed, and they subconsciously turned to look behind them. Then, they saw Demi, who was perfectly intact, approaching them.

Instantly, the Pitt family members began trembling, and their faces were filled with shock. Michelle even spat out the coffee from her mouth.

Was that Demi? She was fine? Could this person just share the same name and appearance as the Demi they knew?

After all, they had seen Demi being engulfed by the fire in the footage. Although they couldn't find her body, she would've had burns on her face and body even if she survived, right?

But the person before them had smooth skin and no injuries at all. Moreover, she seemed to have completely transformed—she was more beautiful than before. She was so stunning that they couldn't look away.

Michelle's and the Pitt family members' minds were reeling in chaos. They didn't even bother to wipe up the coffee that Michelle had spat out.

The eldest son, Daniel, was seated next to Michelle. The coffee had not only spilled on her but also on him.

"Here! Demi, right? Over here!" Richard stood up and waved at Demi.

Demi quickened her pace and walked over.

"Demi, I'm Richard Jameson, the director of 'I Love Nature!'" Richard extended his hand to Demi.

"Hello, I'm Demi Moone," Demi said as she reached out to shake hands with Richard.

"Come and sit here." Richard gestured for Demi to sit next to him as the opposite side was taken up by the Pitts.

The Pitts stared at Demi, seemingly stunned into fools. They confirmed that it really was Demi.

She was fine. But if she was fine, why didn't she go home? Was she intentionally making them worry?

When Michelle thought about this, she felt her anger surge.

Over the past few days, because of her mistake, she had been internally condemning herself every day. Her husband had slapped her, and she couldn't lift her head up in front of him.
