The cramped confines of the room made Soren's silver hair strikingly prominent. Seizing the opportunity, Sandra pressed on, her words filled with purpose. "Mr. Rodgers, your extraordinary influence at Silver Elephant Media is unparalleled, and the fascinating scripts you create consistently become hits. It's uncommon for actresses—even top stars—to receive such individual attention from you. Ms. Elizabeth, you must realize how fortunate you are to possess such allure."

Sandra hesitated, her voice tinged with defeat. "Indeed, beauty does unlock many opportunities." She hadn't anticipated Elizabeth's connection with Soren. Deep inside, Sandra wished neither for Elizabeth to remain with Elijah nor for her to succeed in entertainment. Despite their similar humble beginnings, Elizabeth effortlessly obtained everything Sandra struggled for, all thanks to her physical appeal. This truth was difficult for Sandra to accept.

Elizabeth, sensing the veiled insult, responded with a deliberate glance. "Ms. Sandra, I'm surprised someone with your looks would understand the benefits of beauty so well... After all," she added with a subtle, knowing grin, "don't people tend to glorify what they can barely comprehend?"

Soren nearly burst into laughter, quickly concealing his amusement with a cough that drew everyone's attention. He swiftly composed himself. Internally, he silently cheered Elizabeth on. Her ability to express herself so sharply, without resorting to crudity, was remarkable. It was evident why she was a top screenwriter. Given the right moment, Soren would eagerly collaborate with Elizabeth on developing character dialogue.
