Upon hearing Leo Foster’s words, Bella Green laughed, "If I were to back out last minute, it’d be even worse than losing."

With that, she went straight into the dressing room.

Leo Foster stood there for a moment, sighed, and followed her inside.

The show was broadcast live.

So, quite a number of netizens were already waiting for the show to start.

In the backstage lounge, many actors had already arrived.

This was the second set, equipped with cameras, but since it hadn’t started yet, the cameras weren’t on.

There were fresh faces and seasoned actors present.

The fresh faces were mainly here to gain exposure, so winning or losing wasn’t crucial for them.

After all, they were newcomers; even losing was no disgrace, and they came under the banner of learning from their seniors.

Even if they lost, appearing on this show boosted their reputation.

It would make getting a script afterwards a bit easier.

At the moment, two handsome boys were gathered around two renowned female stars, sweetly calling them "sister."

"I wonder who I’ll be paired with today. Please, dear seniors, go easy on me."

A boy with an exceedingly cute face said with a smile.

His innocent and adorable demeanor was very endearing.

A female star in her thirties responded right away.

"Tsk, with such a cute and gentle face, rest assured, your older brothers and sisters wouldn’t have the heart to be harsh on you."

The boy chuckled.

The other boy seemed a bit shy, but still managed to say some nice words.

Even if he lost later, receiving praise from several seniors would still be a good outcome.

"Look at these kids nowadays, so well-behaved, humble, and motivated. They’ll definitely become successful." The praised woman said with a smile.

"Haha, well, not every newcomer is so humble and motivated."

Suddenly, someone spoke with a sarcastic tone.

With those words, almost everyone knew who they were talking about.

The cute-looking boy rolled his eyes and suddenly leaned forward, cluelessly asking.

"Who is sister referring to?"

The inquiry opened up a subject directly, and everyone seemed eager to join the conversation.

"Who else could it be but Bella Green, a newcomer who not only doesn’t know humility but also has no respect for her seniors. Look, we’re all here already, yet she hasn’t arrived."

Speaking of this, many people felt somewhat uncomfortable.

All these seniors had arrived early, and yet Bella Green hadn’t showed up, quite the star treatment.

The wide-eyed boy glanced around, innocently continuing, "But Joanne hasn’t arrived yet either."

"You are such a naive child, Joanne’s status is different. Her presence gives face to the production team, but what standing does Bella Green have to compare with Joanne?"

...

Bella Green had just stepped into the room when she heard this sentence.

Her hand paused briefly at the doorway, looking over at the woman speaking.

At the same time, the woman also turned around upon hearing the movement.

Seeing Bella Green looking directly at her, she felt a bit awkward, not expecting Bella Green to overhear this at just the right moment.

Bella didn’t pay attention to her but smiled and greeted everyone present.

"Hello everyone, I’m Bella Green."

Upon hearing her, some smiled in response while others pretended not to hear.

Bella wasn’t bothered and directly sat in the corner to quietly read the script.

"Pfft, the script was given out yesterday, yet she’s still reading it now. Must be polishing up before the battle, knowing her skills aren’t up to par."
