“Exactly. It was a hell of a wake-up call. Luck only gets you so far, and I was tired of this perception I was living off my family’s money, not doing anything to earn it.

“Thank you for trusting me.”
“I should be the one saying that to you. I warned you I’ve done things I wasn’t proud of.”
“And yet I’m still here. Please tell me that woman didn’t end up making it big in Hollywood?”

“Karma.”
“Maybe, although as much as I despise her for what she did, I wouldn’t wish a beating on anyone.”

“Guess it’s time to refresh your memory.”
