Watching Nichole leave with Ricardo, Reece finally said, "That was blackmail."

"It was blackmail indeed," Sophie replied coolly. "They've put you through so much. It would be a loss if I didn't make him pay."

"So, is this matter settled then?"

"I didn't say that."

"But you just..."

"Do we have a contract?"

Reece was stunned. He remarked, "I never knew you could be so ruthless."

"I learned it from someone else," Sophie responded.

"Who?"

Colby's image flashed through Sophie's mind, but she didn't answer Reece's question. Instead, she stood up and said, "Alright, your issue is solved. Once the money is in the account, I'll transfer it to you." "Fine by me." Reece was anything but polite.

Sophie called Skye, who quickly arranged for someone to pick her up and bring her back.

Upon arriving at the studio, everyone was stretching. When Sophie walked in, all eyes landed on her.

Just as Sophie entered, Wendy remarked, "Ah, looks like someone spent the night with a sugar daddy. It's almost noon, and she's just getting back."

"Don't say that. She needs to make a living, especially after her family went bankrupt. I heard she's in a lot of debt," Jean said, walking up to Sophie and circling her. "Tsk, tsk, looking so pretty. With billions in debt, what else could she do if not sell herself?"

"What else? Obviously, she's here to be a trainee, hoping to become famous and pay off her debts."

"Wendy, it's different for her. You being a trainee is a step-down, but for a bankrupt heiress of the Russell family, what else could she do?"

Jean raised an eyebrow and added, "I heard you're an Eastwood College graduate, Miss Russell."

"An Eastwood College graduate? You still led the Russell family to bankruptcy, didn't you? I remember there were rumors about you using money to get through the back door and relying on James to get into Eastwood College, and now... James doesn't want you anymore. What do you have left?"

The group erupted into laughter, but Skye at the door frowned and said, "Enough! Why all the chatter? If you've got too much energy, go run laps outside!"

When Skye intervened, the group had no choice but to shut up and return to their spots to stretch.

Sophie, however, didn't take their words to heart. To her, such mockery was nothing new.

Skye said, "You've been training here for almost a month now. The company is giving you a chance to appear on camera. If you don't treasure it, the next opportunity won't come your way."

Hearing about the chance to be on camera, Shirley immediately asked, "So, what are we going to record? Do we need to perform a talent?"

Shirley wasn't the only curious one. Everyone else was eager to know.

The first time on camera was the most precious opportunity. If they couldn't shine this time, chances for future appearances might be slim.

"I'll share the details once I have them. Those who need to lose weight must do so. Gaining ten pounds on camera isn't a joke. If you don't meet the weight requirement, you won't be filmed," Skye said, casting a glance at Wendy.
