Chapter 525



Sophie’s eyes lit up with admiration as she nodded eagerly. Just then, a bitter voice cut through the pleasant exchange. “It must be nice to be rich. With money, you can just waltz into the entertainment industry and snatch up opportunities. If only I had been born into a better family, I wouldn’t have to struggle so much to make it in this business.”

Upon hearing this, Kallie abruptly looked up, her gaze icy. Her eyes locked on Saniya, who was cowering behind Elaine. With a mix of reluctance and grievance, Saniya uttered those words in a faint, aggrieved tone.

Kallie’s brows knit together tightly. The program was being broadcast live, and everyone online could hear their conversation. Sophie’s naive statements made it unclear whether she would carve out a career in show business. Yet, Saniya seemed convinced that Kallie intended to push Sophie into the limelight to usurp others’ opportunities, prompting her remark.

Predictably, Saniya’s followers began to chime in with biting sarcasm.

“Saniya, saying that is going to upset a few people.”

“I just can’t stomach these wealthy types. Being pretty as a child doesn’t guarantee anything later on.”

“Saniya has climbed to where she is on her own merit. We have no respect for those who buy their way in.”

“Such a young girl and already so cunning. Clearly, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

“I never thought Saniya, appearing so meek and mild, would take such a bold stand.”

“Everyone knows Saniya is notorious for this in showbiz. She may seem frail, but she’s cuttingly articulate. Ha!”

The air was thick with remarks displayed across a large screen. Sophie had experienced such criticism for the first time and was visibly perplexed and uneasy as she looked at Kallie. Despite her young age, she was bright and had a good grasp of language.

Debbie, with a frown creasing her brow, expressed her discontent softly. “She’s just a child. Why are you taking this so seriously?”

At that moment, Saniya stepped forward, her tone grave. “It’s important to take what children say seriously. Their words reflect the education they’ve received.” Saniya’s gaze then shifted to Kallie, marked by a hint of displeasure.

Kallie returned Saniya’s look with a frosty stare. Saniya, slightly unnerved yet determined, said, “Miss Nixon, it might be hard to hear, but for the child’s sake, it’s crucial to point out that prioritizing fame and wealth in her upbringing is not appropriate. There might be some issues with how she’s being taught.”

Seeing Saniya oppose Kallie, Sophie felt a surge of unhappiness and shoved Saniya lightly. “Don’t talk about my mommy like that.”

Sophie’s push was gentle, but Saniya staggered dramatically and fell to the ground in an awkward heap. She seemed to have fallen badly, her hands and knees scraped and bleeding. A few members of the crew immediately rushed over to check on her.
