Maria was just an adopted daughter in the Jenkins family, a girl who had spent her whole Life in a small town near the countryside until she was given the chance to move to Sheffield. But Patricia was a senior artist in the entertainment industry for over twenty years, and also the esteemed executive officer in the Sheffield Film and Television Association! Even Jay or Lyndsey didn't dare to treat her this way! Patricia felt anger bubbling up in her chest.

Everyone present also agreed that it wasn't right for Maria to speak that way.

"Oh my God, what a temper she's got! I have to be careful in the future!"

“Jesus, I thought her to be a quiet beauty, but I didn't expect her to be so hot-tempered.”

People were whispering to each other, and some even felt quite afraid being in her presence.

Although they were complaining, it seemed they somehow had accepted her position as the new chief director and didn't object to it.

Jay frowned and stared at Maria, lost in thought.

“What? Do you think you did the right thing by showing up Late?" Maria's voice blared over the megaphone she roared into, and everyone heard her loud and clear.

“Are you the producer or investor of this show? You are just an actress. Legend of Anne has been filming for more than a week, but you didn't show up until today. What the hell is that kind of work ethic? Do you think the filming site is a hostel where you can come and go as you like?"

Everyone realized just how Maria's words stung like a bee. Not only was she loud and fierce, but she had a sharp tongue, too.

She didn't use filth or dirt in her words, but she had cursed Patricia quite horribly.

Patricia always took her background and qualifications as an excuse not to follow the basic professional ethics of an actress, and it worked because no one dared to blame her for anything.

But Maria did! What's more, she called her out on in front of everyone! It was Like slapping Patricia in the face in front of the whole crew! “You... You... You..."

Patricia trembled with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

She found it hard to defend herself because she knew, deep down, that Maria was right. What could she say?

“Maria! You may be the acting chief director, but is this how you treat your colleagues? Do you have any manners or grace? And don't forget you're a junior... how dare you talk to a senior artist like that?"

A voice rang out from away the commotion and everyone's turned their heads. It was Vivian.

And Vivian was Maria's sister... why would she take Patricia's side instead of her own sister?

Maria looked at Vivian indifferently and didn't respond to her question.

"We have strict rules in the Jenkins family. Respecting your elders is basic etiquette! You may be my elder sister, Maria, but I cannot see you do the wrong thing. You need to apologize to Miss Hughes immediately!"
