The sound of the slap echoed sharply.

Valeria shuddered.

Following a brief moment of silence, the director called out, “Cut! Eleanor, why didn't you say anything?"

"I'm sorry. I got so worked up that I forgot my lines," Eleanor apologized.

Ine more time!" the director ordered with a frown on his face.

“Okay.”

Eleanor glanced at Valeria and offered a hollow apology.

“Valeria, I'm sorry. Does it hurt?"

Valeria touched her reddening cheek, gritting her teeth.

"It doesn't matter."

The scene resumed, but for numerous takes, Eleanor repeatedly forgot her Lines or spoke them incorrectly.

This made Valeria's face swell up from the repeated slaps.

Watching the unfolding drama, Rosalynn couldn't shake the feeling.

She knew that Eleanor was intentionally sabotaging the scene.

Seizing the chance, she deliberately made life difficult for Valeria.

“If Eleanor keeps slapping Valeria like this, her face will be ruined.”

The assistant fretted.

“why is Eleanor targeting Valeria?" Rosalynn inquired.

“Eleanor's upset that Valeria is also the lead actress. Valeria didn't vie for the role-it was the crew's decision. Eleanor's taking things too far, acting with impunity because she has the backing of a wealthy man. I heard the previous lead actress quit the crew due to her harassment."

Upon hearing this, Rosalynn snorted.

It was Brian who supported Eleanor.

Eleanor, in turn, depended on his unwavering strength.
