Chapter 526



But despite the commotion, the filming continued. Elaine, who was closest to Saniya, was instantly alarmed and hurried to help her up. “Saniya, are you alright? Oh no, you are bleeding. Does it hurt?”

Even if Elaine was acting, her concern for Saniya seemed genuine. Her eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of fear and worry.

Online audiences were furious with Kallie and Sophie.

“Is that kid out of her mind? Saniya was just telling the truth and looking out for the kid. So why did the kid push her?”

“I thought this show would be worth watching, but it’s hard to even comment with that mother and daughter around. If you want us to keep tuning in, eliminate them.”

“Exactly! They need to be removed. Just kick them out.”

“Can someone please get the mother and daughter to leave as soon as possible?”

“Did you notice the chemistry between Saniya and Elaine, the best actress? They are well matched in both appearance and aura.”

Kallie remained silent, her gaze fixed coldly on the director. The program crew wanted a dramatic effect, and she understood they needed some conflict. But hurting Sophie was out of the question. Moreover, from the staff’s vantage point, it was obvious that Saniya was faking her fall.

Clearing his throat, the director said, “It was an accident. Saniya slipped on a stone. We all saw it happen. How could a four-year-old girl have that much strength?” Saniya hadn’t expected the crew to defend Kallie. Guilt flickered across her face. With the crowd’s help, she rose to her feet and caught the director’s discreet hint.

Facing the camera, Saniya adopted a wounded expression and said, “It was just an accident. Please don’t make things harder for Miss Nixon and her daughter. I brought this on myself.” As Saniya spoke, she shot a sideways glance at Kallie, who found the situation rather amusing.

Saniya appeared to be clarifying something, but in reality, she was subtly insinuating that Kallie had bullied her. However, Kallie was in no rush to respond. She hadn’t told anyone what had happened at the last party since she knew it wasn’t the right moment.

Kallie’s original plan was to take Sophie out for some relaxation and use the opportunity to get closer to Elaine. But she hadn’t anticipated Saniya’s relentless provocations.

Kallie sensed the veiled hostility in Saniya’s gaze. A faint smile curled on her lips, though her eyes remained cold. This time, Saniya was genuinely rattled by Kallie’s icy expression. The fear in her eyes was unmistakably real. Despite some lingering grumbles, the complaints had quieted down after Saniya came out to explain the situation.

The show’s crew had sent someone specifically to communicate with Saniya, reminding her that Kallie had invested a significant amount of money into the program, and offending Kallie wasn’t advisable. Saniya’s agent urged her to stay on course, pointing out that if she gained popularity from this show, she would likely land numerous endorsement deals in the future. The Turner Group was on the rise, still closely linked with the Morgan Group, and its marketing prowess was undeniable. Securing an endorsement deal with the Turner Group could open new doors for Saniya. Gritting her teeth, Saniya was reluctant to give in but felt she had no other choice.
