He thought Jacqueline would figure this out and support him, instead she scoffed.

“No way! Sincerity should permeate every aspect of Taste of Childhood. We can't deceive or fool the audience!"

Leif was dumbfounded. He had a really bad feeling about what Jacqueline was about to do.

"Miss Bowles... You talked about it was unacceptable to deceive the audience, which means...

Leif was agitated. When discussing business, he had to maintain professionalism and call Jacqueline "Miss Bowles”.

"Here's what we're gonna do. Hold a press conference, tell Maria to leave the show and then place a claim with the president of Yeez Entertainment!"

Jacqueline said in a single breath. Leif gulped, his eyes widening. Place a claim with Yeez Entertainment?

They were talking about the biggest entertainment company of the time! Eliminating Maria from the show was already the harshest punishment, regardless of how serious her mistake was.

But Jacqueline was even planning to make a claim with Yeez Entertainment?

He couldn't bring himself to offend Jeremy, the company's president, Like that.

Leif vigorously shook his head and protested, “No, no, no, Miss Bowles. You can't make me do that! If you insist, you can make a claim on behalf of the Bowles Group, but I don't want me or my team to be involved."

The production team of Taste of Childhood consisted entirely of Leif's studio team.

Although the Bowles Group was his employer and major sponsor, he wasn't obliged to offend Yeez Entertainment on their behalf.

As well as the company's power and influence in the entertainment world, Leif respected Jeremy's morals and his way of doing things. He in no way wanted to offend Jeremy.

"You!" Jacqueline never expected Leif to choose arguing with her to avoid going against Jeremy.

The Bowles Group did have money, but it wasn't a Local company, after all. They had tried to develop the company at home over the past few years, but it hadn't quite established a foothold yet.

Taking a moment to consider this, Jacqueline softened her tone.

“Right, Mr. Brooks, as you said yourself, you should announce that Maria will be dismissed from the show."

Leif was shocked.

Jacqueline could be so cruel!

She had not only dodged the responsibility of making Maria leave but had transferred that onto him.

Why was she making it seem like Leif was the one insisting on dismissing Maria?

It was still early. The production team was buzzing around, getting everything ready for filming.

After breakfast, all the guests started gathering for the shoot.
