Viona entered the school premises with a nostalgic expression. It had been over 15 years since she set foot in the school that had brought both joy and sorrow to her life. But now, she was given the opportunity to start anew. Moreover, she could freely use her family's name for her purposes.
Speaking of the family name, Viona was reminded of the CEO who had been suggested as a match for her by her Mom. The man's name was Reigha Arsalan, a CEO of a media company who had once told Viona that she was foolish for not using her family's name to make herself famous.
However, what was hypocritical for Viona was that... Reigha cared even less about his own family name and chose to build his own company separate from the Arsalan family. In fact... he was the one who caused the Arsalan family to suffer bankruptcy in the year... 2032 if Viona remembered correctly.
Ah! Viona had to remind her family not to get involved with the Arsalan family. But, it was okay if they maintained a good relationship with Reigha. Although Viona didn't know the reason why Reigha had destroyed the Arsalan family, from her experience, Viona knew that the Arsalan family was the true villain.
Some students from Artemis Acting School saw the group escorting Viona with disbelief. Some of them eagerly took photos and videos to share on their social media. Other students were seen contacting their friends to share the news about the Amethyst Family escorting a 15-year-old girl who looked just like them.
Viona put on her usual flat expression that she used to face reporters. Meanwhile, her family, who were accustomed to all kinds of attention, walked on unfazed. Despite this, they got closer to Viona, preventing anyone from taking advantage and trying to harm their beloved daughter.

After spending some time in the principal's office, Viona was finally escorted by her family to her classroom. Ensuring that Viona was seated safely and comfortably, the Amethysts then left the school to continue with their respective tasks.
Viona was then introduced to Class X.1, which consisted of students said to be the second-generation wealthy. After that, the young teacher who was instructing that morning took attendance one by one and started her lesson.
Meanwhile, Viona was busy jotting down notes in her notebook. She listened to the teacher's lesson with her right ear, while her left ear was tuned out.
Viona wrote down a list of significant events that would happen to her and her family over the next few years.
First. The meeting between her and Queena, which would occur on the 5th day of school, when all the classes were gathered for a joint announcement. Two days later, Queena would create drama by claiming she had been molested by their dance instructor, Mr. Ryanto. However, according to the information Viona gathered when she visited him in jail, it was because Queena had given the young instructor a drink containing something suspicious.
Viona decided not to let Queena get a male instructor, whoever he was. Knowing the real Queena, there must be a specific reason why she chose this unsavory way to gain fame. Moreover, nobody deserved to be treated as a criminal when they were actually a victim.
Second. Due to Queena's scandal, Viona pitied her and that became a reason they became close friends. This had to be avoided! Viona didn't want to be used by Queena again and then betrayed. Besides, Viona also had to make the other students realize that they were being exploited by Queena. Maybe at some point, Queena did need the opportunities given to her, but based on Viona's experience, Queena was no longer worthy of them.
Third. A false scandal involving an upcoming singer, Micka Aruni, which would implicate her older brother, Angkasa, three months from now. All Viona could do was to ensure her brother never got involved with that singer. This would likely involve arranging for her brother to be in Country C during that third month, so he wouldn't cross paths with the singer. The problem was... what could she say to her brother?
Oh yes! There would be an exhibition and presentation of startups happening in Country C around that time! Viona remembered that some startups in the event were worthy of investment. And some of them even grew into major companies a few years later! That was a great opportunity for Angkasa and Ame Corp!
Fourth, her older brothers, Galih and Gilang, would find themselves entangled with their business partner, Giovanni Arsalan, a year later, resulting in the company suffering losses of thousands of dollars. It was no surprise that Viona had harbored a distaste for the Arsalan name from the very beginning.
In that case... Viona could combine her plans to help Reigha accelerate the downfall of the Arsalan family! However, how could she get close to Reigha? It wouldn't be possible for her to be friendly with a man who was 12 years older than her.
Viona shook her head. She could plan that later, after she confirmed why her brothers would get involved with the Arsalan family.
Fifth. Revan. A singer who had no talent whatsoever managed to become famous by exploiting resources that Viona had. This case was similar to Queena's, where both of them were unworthy of becoming public figures. They only bullied the weak and destroyed opportunities for those who truly deserved them.
Revan would become famous five years later. Currently, he was finishing regular high school. He had no talent in music, singing, or songwriting, which was why he attended a regular school.
Viona had to ensure that Revan wouldn't be involved in the entertainment industry, which could be achieved by making him too busy with other matters. Hm... maybe Viona could give her parents the opportunity to advance their restaurant business? If their business prospered, Revan wouldn't have the motivation to work hard. Okay, she could add that to her plan list when she started filming later.
Hmmm... what else did Viona need to write?
Viona carefully read her notes from the beginning, making sure she didn't miss any information.
Ah!
Viona had to help some directors whose names had faded due to lack of funding, but who had gladly helped her when she was in need. Maybe she could introduce them to Galih.
Also, a few classmates who had shown kindness to her and hadn't participated in bullying her in the past. Although now she was sure she wouldn't be bullied again due to the Amethyst name, she believed her friends wouldn't change and take advantage of her. Maybe she could introduce some of them to Gilang as models, and to Galih for training as idols or artists.
Well, that could wait during her two years of education at this acting school. Viona could also search for talents that she could use when she established her own entertainment company in the future.
All right. Viona had created a priority list of things she needed to do over the next few years before she could peacefully enjoy the entertainment world.
Now... she had to focus on her lessons. After all, she was already famous upon entering school, but she didn't want to become famous for being undisciplined in class.
