Despite her somber mood, it didn't hinder her performance.

On the contrary, the director was captivated by Sabrina's portrayal.

Watching through the camera, he observed her tearful eyes and trembling shoulders, charged with emotion. Her portrayal of loneliness and despair as the character she played led to prison was riveting. He couldn't help but heap praise upon Sabrina.

Through Sabrina's nuanced performance, Sarah emerged as more than a simple, one-dimensional villain. She was like a cunning fox, evoking both frustration and sympathy in the audience.

The director shared his enthusiasm with Peter, who had come to visit the set.

Standing next to Camden, Peter observed the footage on the monitor.

He nodded in approval, remarking, "Sabrina is gifted. She could reach even greater heights with my guidance."

"What are you implying? That I'm not doing a good job?"

"That's not what I meant," Peter chuckled and offered a light explanation, masking his true thoughts. Privately, he harbored reservations about the acting of the lead actor and actress. Their performances, he believed, would not be well-received by audiences once the show aired.

Despite these thoughts, Peter chose to keep his opinions to himself, not voicing his concerns aloud.

Peter understood the nature of fantasy dramas. They were often vehicles for boosting certain actors' popularity, courtesy of their capitalist backers. With stunning costumes, intricate plot settings, and compelling stories, these shows tended to succeed as long as the acting wasn't abysmal. Modern romance dramas, on the other hand, faced more critical audiences who were quick to spot flaws in logic and performance. Many recent hits were high-concept fantasy dramas, while contemporary stories either faced criticism or lacked popularity.

The fairy drama Camden was directing, funded by sponsors, was meant to promote the leading actor.

After reviewing the script, Peter felt that the leads lacked distinction, particularly the heroine, who seemed unremarkable. In contrast, the character of Sarah stood out vividly.

With the role of Molly in the play still unfilled due to Galilea's accident, Peter considered Sabrina a potential fit.

That evening, hearing the sound of the door opening, Bettie turned her head and took a look at Sabrina. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. "You're back? Didn't Tyrone want you to stay longer with him?"

Sabrina, avoiding eye contact, tossed her bag onto the sofa and poured herself a glass of water. “Bettie, let's not talk about him anymore," she requested calmly.

Bettie's curiosity piqued as she sat up. “What happened?" she inquired. “What did Tyrone do this time?"

Sitting beside Bettie, Sabrina wrapped her arms around Bettie, confiding the day's painful revelations. "I went to Tyrone's office today and saw him with Galilea. He confessed he's always loved Galilea. He only approached me because of a bet..."

Sabrina poured out the whole story to Bettie.

Sabrina would never have shared such a personal humiliation with anyone else. It was a deep embarrassment. She had been fooled by Tyrone not once, but twice.
