Chapter 201

Sasha stood firm, her tone calm but resolute.

“I’ve faced storms to get where I am today,” she said, her voice steady despite the weight of the conversation. “If people don’t like my work, if my popularity fades—it’s on me. The entertainment world is competitive. There’s always someone better, and that’s okay.”

Her assistant interjected, anger simmering. “But Bianca! She’s only where she is because she’s backed by someone powerful!”

Sasha cut her off sharply. “Don’t accuse her like that. You know who I am. I don’t climb higher by tearing others down. Respecting others’ efforts matters, even if I don’t get along with them.”

She knew the struggle of clawing her way up from nothing. But unlike her, Bianca was born privileged—life had always been unfair. Yet Sasha had resolved to fight for her dreams on her own terms.

Inside the car, silence hung thick between Kevin and Bianca.
