Chapter 3296 Defiance

Just as they expected, the reason the competition was suspended was that Mia was eliminated in less than a minute. Hence, Osmond would definitely have made a big fuss.

Megan figured that with Osmond's influence, there was no way he would tolerate Mia being eliminated so easily in such a short time.

Hence, they would definitely see Jerry and protest the elimination.

"Gather around, everyone.”

With Mia and Osmond behind him, Jerry stopped in front of everyone. Silas’ sharp eyes noticed the gloomy expression on his face. His usually stern voice sounded dejected instead.

Next, he couldn't help but shift his attention to Osmond as he had heard how powerful the latter was. As long as one worked with Starling Media, one had to show both Luna and him respect. Furthermore, he was known in the industry for his arm-twisting methods.

At that moment, when Silas saw how the usually arrogant director had been put in his place, he couldn't help but start feeling fearful of Osmond.

However, Megan no longer feared him as she had experienced all his methods in her past life. At that moment, she simply considered him a paper tiger who was no different from a bully.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly stop filming?” Bruce asked in a frustrated tone when he saw both of them appear in front of him. Despite how much he loved to flirt with pretty ladies, he wasn't taken in by Mia.

Raising his head to glance at Bruce, Jerry let out a gloomy frown.

He pointed at Mia with a deep raspy voice, croaking out every word from his throat. “There's a slight change in the script. Also, please take note not to allow Mia to be eliminated too early. We have to take care of the newcomers.”

Take care of the newcomers?

Snorting softly, Megan gave Mia the side-eye.

As everyone had only participated in one episode before this, they were actually no different from each other.

She protested, “Who isn't new here? We have all joined for one episode only. Why does she deserve special treatment just because she threw a tantrum?”

Everyone present was aware that Megan and Mia were sisters. Hence, they felt that she was being too hard on Mia.

Tugging her arm, Silas shook his head with a frown to warn her not to act impulsively. However, Megan pulled her hand away in exasperation instead.

Due to Megan's protest, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Everyone could feel the tension in the air.

When Osmond saw the anger in Megan's eyes, he smirked in response.

As if the situation wasn't incendiary enough, he fanned the flames further. “Why are you so dissatisfied? You were the one who insisted on breaking your contract with Starling Media and remain a nameless actress. So now, don't complain that no one is speaking out for you.”

Sneering, Megan suppressed the rage within her so as to not embarrass herself in front of Mia. Looking silently at Osmond, her haughty expression hid the pity she felt for him. If she had stayed at Starling Media, there would still not be anyone who would stand up for her. In other words, she would be worse off than she was now.

After all, Mia was the true star of the future for Starling Media while she was only a supporting character that could be cast aside anytime.

Raising her eyebrows, Megan collected herself and glared at him with contempt. Her gaze was so deep that he couldn't tell what was on her mind.

She sneered, “Is that so? I hope you will keep this up. People who like to deceive themselves are usually the ones who fail quickly.”

After their heated exchange, neither of them was willing to back down, intensifying the tension in the atmosphere.

Despite everyone present being cowed by Osmond’s domineering aura, Megan remained calm and even sniped back at him.

All of them tried to sneak a peek at Megan and wondered what gave her the confidence to be so defiant.
