One of the cute girls became displeased. "What do you mean by that? Do you think we wouldn't dare to do anything to you just because Skye has your back?"
"Sophie, you're only here because of your online popularity! We're the ones who have been diligently practicing our craft every day! Don’t you think what you’re doing is despicable?" The speaker was one of the trainees, known for her cool beauty.
Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Do you think it's unfair?"
"Of course, it's unfair!" The surrounding ladies chimed in, their faces unable to hide their resentment.
Sophie coolly responded, "The world has never been about absolute fairness. Some people rely on their brains, some on their physique, and others on their popularity. If you're in this industry and still expect fairness, you are just naïve children."
The sweet-faced girl, who often boasted about her father being the chairman of Aldridge Global, stepped forward, "That's just sophistry!"
"Sophistry?" Sophie stepped closer, lightly touching the other’s necklace, which was worth a small fortune, "This is a luxury brand from abroad, right? Worth at least a hundred thousand dollars. Do you think ordinary people would spend that much on a necklace? You got into this studio because of your family's influence. You stepped on others to climb up. What right do you have to talk to me about fairness?"
"What did you say!"
Sophie then turned to the cool-looking woman. "Are you going to say that your family isn’t wealthy, but you still made it here? Let me tell you, you're here because you have a pretty face. You got in by leveraging your looks."
Sophie scanned the room. "Each of you had your own way in, and I'm here because I have clout and create fan frenzies. It's beneficial for Aldridge Global. No one should look down on anyone in here!"
Sophie was far from a pushover, leaving the ladies at a loss for words.
Sophie continued, "If you wish to compete with me in the future, I'm all for it. But if you plan to use underhanded tactics against me, I'll see it through to the end."
With that, Sophie walked to an empty spot, adding, "But let me remind you, I'm not easy to bully. Think carefully about the consequences before you act. I never said I didn't use connections to get here."
