The neer indeed came from a wealthy family.


    She had a close rtionship with Miranda and had previously yed a minor role in one of Miranda''s dramas. Recing Penelope with this girl was nothing short of an insult.


    Nina had already hinted to Penelope that when the news broke, she needed to create some buzz herself, even if it was just a temporary uproar. At least it would give the public something to talk about. Previously, Penelope would not have stooped to such tactics, which was why she quickly faded from the spotlight.


    Besides acting, she was not good at marketing herself. But now, Penelope had ended up in the hospital. People believed she was so upset by being reced by the neer that she fell ill, which only fueled the public''s outrage.


    Given Penelope''s history of quietly enduring such slights, the inte exploded in her defense. While not everyone would cheer for sess, many would speak up for the underdog.


    This created a wave of public pressure on the production team. The official social media ount of the show was inundated with angryments, forcing them to disable thements section altogether. This was the effect Nina was aiming for. Ultimately, the audience would decide the show''s sess, and the producers would have to consider their financial losses.


    Coincidentally, Penelope was admitted to the same hospital where Nash was staying, so Nina went to see her.


    At that moment, Penelope was lying in her hospital bed, watching TV. It was probably the most rxed Nina had ever seen her. Penelope had been acting for many years without much rest. "You came, Nina," Penelope smiled faintly.


    "You''re actually quite capable. You''re just too proud," Nina remarked.


    "You told me not to always appear weak," Penelope reflected. "I should use whatever resources I have."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Has anyone called?" Nina asked.


    Penelope replied, "Since I was admitted, I followed your advice and didn''t answer any phone calls."


    Right now, the media, the production team, and everyone else were desperately trying to reach her.


    "Now''s not the time for you to make an appearance. Wait until tomorrow to clear things up," Nina advised.


    "I understand."


    Nina stayed with Penelope for a while. Coincidentally, they were both watching the same drama recently, "The Pce."


    Meanwhile, on Miranda''s side, things were in chaos.


    Bang! The cup in her hand smashed onto the floor.


    The neer standing next to her was trembling. She was an eighteen-year-old girl named Be Collins.


    She was pretty but not exceptionally


    so, especially by entertainment


    industry standards. She was


    inexperienced and naive, thinking


    she could actually be a leading actress.


    Her family had money and had contributed one million to the production, a move Miranda had suggested.


    "Miranda, everyone is cursing me. don''t want to do this anymore!" Be said, tears in her eyes. She could not handle the pressure and her dreams were falling apart.


    "You can''t quit now! Haven''t you seen what people are saying about you? Since they''ve already talked, you need to show them your


    strength and prove them wrong. Don''t let this affect you," Miranda insisted. She had invested


    vot of


    effort into this, aiming to humiliate Penelope.


    If Be could achieve some sess, it would suppress Penelope''s momentum and give Miranda a sense of satisfaction.


    "I''m scared. They''ve written so much, and Penelope has someone backing her," Be said, fearful of bing coteral damage. "Who could she possibly have? Shees from nothing!" Mirandaughed.


    "That reporter, I heard she got promoted within a month. Penelope has her support. I can''t fight them," Be said, worried.


    Miranda thought of Nina and muttered to herself, "How does she still have the energy for this? Shouldn''t she be almost done for by now?"
