Aurora assured him with a calm smile. “Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. I know where the line is. I understand how to handle this sort of thing. 

“Besides, she’s one of the judges, and I’m just a guest. It’s only right that I give her some leeway.” 

Hearing that, the director couldn’t help but feel moved. Working with someone smart and composed like her was truly a relief. 

“Miss Walton, you’ve really been put through a lot,” he said sincerely. 

From his perspective, Aurora had indeed taken the short end of the stick. 

After all, she had agreed to come on the show for his sake, and she had already compromised far more than most people in her position would. 

She wasn’t just any guest; she was a business owner, a figure with her own clout. She could easily have chosen to stand her ground against Yvonne, even if it meant turning the set upside down. 

But instead, Aurora had chosen to stay calm and preserve the peace for the sake of the show and for him. 

Her restraint wasn’t weakness; it came from knowing what truly mattered. She had bigger things to protect, and that alone set her apart. 

Realizing this, the director found himself even more impressed. People like her were rare. 

Someone who could be both powerful and considerate, who thought of others instead of just herself. 

Aurora looked at him earnestly. 

“Don’t worry, Mr. Smith. I’m not upset at all. I’m honestly happy to do what I can to help. 

“My studio is still young, and getting a chance to be on this show wasn’t easy. It’s because of your trust that I’ve been able to come this far.” 

The director quickly waved his hands. “No, no, you’re giving me too much credit. You’re here because of your own talent and effort–that’s what made people notice you.” 

The director spoke with complete sincerity. 

“From where I stand, I didn’t really help you much. All I did was make an introduction. 

“Everything that came after, every bit of recognition you’ve earned, was because of your own hard work.” 

Hearing that, Aurora felt a quiet warmth rise in her chest. 

The two of them went back and forth, each trying to give credit to the other, simply because they both saw the other as someone worth respecting. 

Aurora had been willing to help the director because, before the show even began, he had done a lot for her. 

If not for his persistence, she wouldn’t be standing here now, appearing on screen and letting people see her and 

notice her studio. 

That kind of opportunity had once felt impossible. Aurora wasn’t someone who took kindness for granted. 

Because she knew how to be grateful, she was willing to give back in her own way.

As for feeling wronged–she didn’t think it was even worth mentioning. 

As long as no one intentionally crossed her line, she had no problem with tolerance. 

After all, her opponent was someone who had graduated from a top university, worked overseas for years, and built her own studio. 

With her background and fanbase, Yvonne’s strength was undeniable.
