Chapter 103

As the voice faded, a sleek black SUV rolled up nearby, and a long leg casually stepped out, effortlessly capturing the attention of everyone around.

The live chat, which had been filled with sarcasm towards Winnie, Instantly erupted into a frenzy of screams.

“OMG, Kaney’s here!”

“Yes, our idol finally made it!”

“I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Now the show really starts! Forget the rest!”

“Aha, Kaney is the star, no competition here, folks As the chat went wild with exclamations, Kane strolled out of the vehicle.

He had the air of a gentleman about him, yet his demeanor was effortlessly cool.

Spotting his personal photographer approaching, a subtle smile played at the corners of his/ mouth. Lifting his hand in a casual wave, he greeted the camera with a laid–back, “Hi.”

The chat exploded once more.

“Love you, Kaney!”

“If there is no Kaney, showbiz would be in eternal darkness!”

Amidst the shower of admiration, Kane made his way over to the group, his gaze sweeping over the five of them before coming to rest familiarly on Naylor.

With a smirk that was not quite a smile, he suddenly turned to the show’s crew and asked, “Director, can I request to have Naylor removed from this episode’s shooting?”

Baily and Bagot were speechless. Why was this high–and–mighty crashing the party?!

The chat paused for a moment, then resumed its frenetic pace

“What did Naylor do to get even Kaney against him?!”

“This plot was getting intense!”

“If Kaney said so, what on earth did Naylor do?”

“Please, no more cliffhangers!”

Curiosity and confusion filled the screen, a stark contrast to the earlier mockery directed at Winnie and Mervin. Even the few trolls attempting to bash Kaney were quickly drowned out by the flood of questions Is this the power of a top influencer?

1/3 12:15 Kane had directed his question at Bagot, forcing the usually behind–the–scenes Bagot to step forward with a deadban response. “Why? Give me a reasont Kane pointed lazily at Naylor, “Can’t you all see what’s behind him?

His words sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

One person mentioning an issue might be overlooked. But when a third person spoke up, the world took notice.

Clearly, Naylor was at the heart of the problem.

The live audience was slowly realizing that this was no ordinary broadcast. So, what exactly was lurking behind Naylor?

As tension built to a peak, Kane pointed seriously at the support trailer parked behind Naylor. his voice a mix of earnestness and arrogance, “First day of the shoot and he parks that massive fan trailer there. Is he trying to overshadow the rest of ? Is Naylor trying to look more famous than me? I insist that the production team kicks him out of this episode!”

Only then did everyone notice the trailer looming behind Naylor The crew and viewers alike were dumbfounded. But the confusion quickly gave way to laughter and head–shaking disbelief.

Although Kaney was stern, the playful intent behind his words was clear to anyone listening.

The earlier ominous atmosphere dissipated as if blown away by his jest.

Even the previous confrontations between Mervin and Winnie towards Naylor took on a comedic note.

Candace, savvy to industry dynamics, was quick to play along with mock indignation, “Absolutely! I condemn Naylor for trying to outshine the team! We should boot you from this episode! Come back next time!”

Gentry, although a beat slower, also joined in with feigned offense, “Yeah, I refuse to film with you! Not only do you have a fan trailer, but you’re also more handsome than me!”

The other guests chimed in. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Naylor joined the banter with a rueful smile, “My bad, all my fault. I didn’t want to be invisible alongside these stars, sol got a big trailer to make sure I’d be noticed.”

The tension among the guests dissolved instantly and the viewers breathed a collective sigh of relief.

“OMG, it was just the trailer! You had me scared for a second there!”

“Classic showbiz drama.”

“Though I think Kaney covering for those two… They didn’t seem to be joking at the start!”

“What do you expect? It wouldn’t be funny if you realized it was a joke!”

12:15 Baily, monitoring the chat, instructed the moderators to steer the conversation away from the earlier conflict involving Mervin and Master Bryant.

The cameraperson wisely shifted focus to Kane.

Returning to the scene, Bally felt like bowing down In gratitude to Kane.

Kane might be a handful, but he sure knew how to handle a situation!

Baily was glad to have made the effort to bring Kane on board.

Though aloof and arrogant, Kane was also known for his high emotional intelligence.

And just like that, he’d defused a potential crisis for their show.

How did Kane know to step in? He was probably watching the live stream his way !

The atmosphere lightened as Naylor and Candace bantered back and forth, successfully shifting away from the previous topic.

Mervin remained dark. Just as he was about to add his piece, Winnie subtly stepped in front of him, cutting him off. Then, turning towards Naylor with a slight smile, she said, “Mr. Naylor. please don’t be upset. I look forward to your guidance during the next part of the shoot.”

With these words, she reached out her hand towards him.

Naylor stared at the extended hand for a moment, catching Winnie’s gaze, which seemed to pierce through all pretense, clear and discerning. Though a flicker of unease stirred within him, he graciously reached out and firmly grasped her hand.

“Let’s learn from each other.”

Winnie held his chill palm for a brief second, squeezing gently to convey her sincerity, and then quickly withdrew her hand.

As she stepped aside, she noticed another hand extend towards her.
