In the two-hour episode, all of Sarah's scenes combined lasted about five minutes. That was shorter than her part in the promo video. Her performance, which was originally three minutes, was cut short and was incoherent.

Online, the viewers were deep in discussion.

“That's it? I came to see Sarah but there are so few of her scenes!"

“Sarah's new song was awful. I guess her time in the spotlight is over. She should have just sung one of her old songs."

“What the hell is this variety show doing? Was this some kind of stunt?"

“Elva was really impressive. She's a real singer."

"Since Sarah decided to retire from singing, why is she even back on the stage? She should just cherish the reputation she had in the past."

“The only thing she and her team know to do is to hype."

“Her fans should really open their eyes. Sarah is behind the times."

“She used to be a professional singer and that was seriously her performance? I'm disappointed."

Ariana couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed her coat and rushed out the door.

Betsy, who had been reading out the comments, chased after her.

“Ariana, where are you going?"

“To avenge Sarah."

Ariana hurried over to the program crew. Josh was still eating lunch, and when he saw her, he greeted her casually as if nothing was amiss.

In her anger, Ariana grabbed his lunch box and threw it down.

“Josh, what the hell is that about? Why did you cut all of Sarah's scenes?"

Josh slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and crossed his legs.

"It's only routine. I did it for the show and for the viewers. Other people's scenes were cut a lot too. None of their agents came here to complain. You're just a troublemaker."

“Do you even believe your own lies? I don't see any other artist's performance being cut like that. Only Sarah's performance was cut short. Her scenes in that episode probably didn't even last six minutes combined. Are you saying that's the same for the other artists?"
