?<strong>Chapter 542:</strong>


    Finally, Kallie smiled warmly and said, “I often share my experiences to remind us that life is full of unexpected twists. But as long as we keep going, there’s always a chance to turn things around.”


    Debbie’s eyes lit up, and she beamed like a child discovering a new hero in Kallie. “Oh my gosh! From now on, Kallie, you’re my idol. You’re just so inspiring.”


    ine joked, “Wasn’t it you who said you were my fan when we first met?”


    Debbie waved her hand dismissively. “Oh, I still admire you! I promised my dorm-mates your autograph.”


    ine couldn’t control herughter.


    Debbie added, “You know what? I feel in many ways that ine and Kallie are alike. Both have faced their share of struggles and emerged stronger for it. I recall ine mentioning in an interview that she joined the entertainment industry to fund her sister’s education. It’s a testament to her dedication and resilience.”


    Kallie’s expression remained calm, but her interest was piqued as she listened.


    ine’s smile from a moment ago faded, her eyes clouding as a memory resurfaced.


    ine had been in unusually high spirits, making her more talkative than usual. “When I look back, I don’t regret the choice I made then. After all, my sister and I only had each other. Naturally, I wanted to give her the best. But I do regret sending her abroad. I thought I was giving her the finest education, but in reality…”


    ine’s voice trailed off, her expression shifting to one of simmering anger.


    Sensing the tension, Debbie chose to stay quiet, offering ine aforting nce instead.


    Thements were filled with sympathy and understanding:


    “I get where ine ising from. She wants the best education for her sister, but she’s also worried because her sister’s so far away.”


    “She is like the ideal sister. If I were in ine’s shoes, I don’t know if I’d be as good to my sister.”


    “That’s exactly why she was able to be the Best Actress. She is incredibly level-headed.”


    “I’m really curious about what happened to ine’s sister. She doesn’t seem to be doing well…”


    “Haven’t you seen the news about ine’s sister? It’s such a shame. She was such a striking young woman.”


    Kallie was tempted to ask more but sensed it wasn’t the right moment.


    With that, the conversation drew to a close. Everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms.


    To Kallie’s surprise, Saniya was nowhere to be found in the room.


    Though Kallie didn’t care, she feltpelled to act. She approached the director for answers. The director informed her that Saniya was in a foul mood and wanted to be left alone.


    Kallie pointed out that Saniya was not suitable for the show and suggested that perhaps it would be better for her to quit, especially considering the harsh criticism she was receiving in thements.


    However, the director shook his head, dismissing the idea. He didn’t offer much of an exnation, only mentioning that unless Saniya quit on her own, the show would be liable topensate her due to the contract if she wasn’t included.
