Gwendolyn strode over to the Volkswagen Passat, pulled open the car door, and looked at Joanne to signal for the latter to get in as well.

As Gwendolyn sped toward the filming set, Joanne sat nervously in the passenger seat, suddenly feeling a bit guilty. “I’m sorry, Ms. Shalders. I can’t drive, so you have to chauffeur me around. If I could, I would be your driver.”

“I thought you were going to say something serious. What’s the big deal? Just find some time to learn it in the future.” Gwendolyn was amused by her assistant’s words, and her previously tense mood relaxed.

Joanne wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth and looked at Gwendolyn with eyes full of admiration.

Gwendolyn slammed on the brakes and stopped outside the filming set. Then, she hurriedly walked in. Joanne followed close behind her, wearing a similar solemn expression on her face.

The person in charge had been informed in advance and was waiting outside the door to welcome them.

“Ms. Shalders, you’re finally here! These two have been arguing non-stop, and we really don’t know what to do anymore.” The person in charge explained the situation while walking. “On one hand, we have a rising star, and on the other hand, we have a young lady from a wealthy family. We can’t afford to offend either of them, so we had to ask for your help.”

“What are the names of these two contestants? Who was the one wanting to withdraw from the competition?” Gwendolyn asked.

“The somewhat famous actress is called Liliana Knox, and the young daughter of a wealthy family is Judy Cartel of Lightspring. The two of them started arguing over a bed, and both threatened to quit the competition.”

“Since they insist on leaving, there’s no need for us to force them to stay.”

Gwendolyn sneered as she added, “But we have to punish them to serve as a warning to others. It is for others to understand what the rules are.”

As the two were talking, they had already arrived at the hall. The two parties involved were seated on opposite sides as they had an intense staredown.

“Are you two the ones who caused trouble?” Gwendolyn looked at the two angry women with a displeased expression. “If you don’t want to participate, you can just leave. Don’t give others a hard

time.”

“Who do you think you are? You’re just a mere talent director, yet you dare to give me that cold look?” Glancing at Gwendolyn disdainfully, Liliana went on, I agreed to participate in your show as a favor to Angle. If it weren’t because of Mr. Harris, who would bother with a show that has no publicity or popularity?”

“Ms. Knox, I hope you can face reality. With your current fame and status, you’re not in a position to say such things.” Gwendolyn gracefully took her seat at the head of the table and continued, “Angle has secured a prominent position in the entertainment industry and has become a well-known company. What it can offer you is far beyond your imagination. If you don’t want to stay, it’s fine. You can leave
