Chapter 1541Â
The moment Aurora saw Lina’s reaction, she instantly understood-someone had clearly put her up to this.Â
Aurora had actually felt a bit sorry for her earlier. After all, Yvonne had deliberately pulled Lina into the spotlight as a stepping stone, something everyone could see. Yvonne’s intent to use her to elevate herself was obvious.Â
Aurora didn’t even need to say it; the others had picked up on it too.Â
But Lina’s parents were under someone else’s control, leaving her powerless to resist. She had no choice but to play along, unsure of what move to take next.Â
“The name of my studio comes from one of the letters in my best friend’s and my own name,” Aurora said naturally, her tone relaxed as she began to talk about the studio.Â
She even shared how she and Megan had started it and the early struggles they faced when renting their first space.Â
The others weren’t particularly interested in the story, but seeing her speak so earnestly, none of them dared interrupt.Â
Eventually, Aurora realized how long she’d been talking. She gave an embarrassed smile. “Sorry, everyone. Once I start talking about how I built the studio, I just get carried away.’Â
“Quite a colorful journey, Miss Walton.” Yvonne sneered from the side.Â
She’d noticed how the moment Aurora began speaking, all eyes turned toward her.Â
People seemed genuinely intrigued by what she had to say, and that attention made Yvonne’s own presence fade.Â
With most of the crowd’s focus on Aurora, Yvonne’s circle of admirers had noticeably thinned.Â
Aurora pressed her lips together and smiled. “Well, as they say, experience teaches more than books ever could. If I really want to understand the world, the best way is to travel and see more of it.”Â
Megan nodded without hesitation. She completely agreed-Aurora had a point. She herself had never been the kind for studying, but she understood life experience was its own kind of wisdom.Â
Ever since Megan learned the saying “experience teaches more than books ever could,” she’d made it a point to travel whenever she could instead of staying cooped up at home.Â
When she wasn’t busy helping Aurora, she tried finding things of her own to do-it was far better than living that dull routine between the office and her apartment.Â
Sometimes, that kind of life just felt unbearably monotonous.Â
The director glanced around and quickly realized Yvonne wasn’t even close to being Aurora’s match.Â
With just a few calm words, Aurora could easily turn Yvonne’s remarks back on her.Â
In fact, she hardly needed to lift a finger-Megan alone could outtalk Yvonne without breaking a sweat.Â
He also noticed something else-Yvonne’s attitude toward Aurora carried a strange, unprovoked hostility.Â

He wasn’t sure what their history was, but since both women were now part of his show, he knew he had to manage the situation carefully.Â
The production had already begun; the cast and judges were confirmed.Â
Changing anyone now would risk hurting the ratings.Â
The success of the show depended on whether they could hold the audience’s attention.Â
After all, like any variety show, viewers preferred to follow from the first episode onward.Â
If the same few faces kept the show afloat week after week, the audience would eventually get bored and tune out.Â
