She sent the email and then promptly deleted it.

She had left instructions with that individual to avoid contacting her, to keep their secrets protected.

"I should retrieve the token? But I'm just a nobody!"

Another email arrived.

Lilah, with one hand on her forehead, felt exasperated. She couldn't understand why the young man was being so stubborn.

“Enough already." She sent the email, her patience wearing thin.

There was no reply from the other side after that.

"Ouch!" Just then, Hadley collapsed to the floor, drawing everyone's attention.

Ruth was the first to reach her, helping Hadley to her feet and speaking up for her with indignation.

“Lilah, I realize you're skilled, but you can't treat people this way. She's very weak right now, and she might faint if this goes on."

Lilah closed her laptop, looked at Ruth with indifference, and responded, "This is a matter for our team. You don't need to interfere."

With that, she grabbed Hadley's arm, intending to take her to another training room.

Frightened, Hadley pulled her hand back and looked at Lilah cautiously. “Lilah, can I stop doing the horse stance? My legs are in a lot of pain.”

"No," Lilah replied coldly and decisively. “Not unless you convince the director to change your trainer."

Hadley then turned to Ruth, who winked at her, signaling her to continue the training.

Given the situation, Ruth thought that Lilah might give Hadley a hard time, but she was unlikely to take it too far.

This scenario would Likely make compelling content for the show, and when it aired, Lilah would be criticized by the viewers.

Hadley experienced a bitterness she couldn't voice.

By day's end, her legs were nearly paralyzed, so weakened that she required assistance to walk.

“How are you feeling?" Ruth asked, smiling.

Hadley clenched her teeth and said, "She's definitely getting back at me. I can't just sit back and accept this. I need to find a way to bring her down."

Before she finished her sentence, she already had a plan forming in her mind.

Back in the hotel room they shared, Lilah had finished her shower and was wrapped in a bath towel, seemingly waiting for Hadley.

Seeing Lilah, Hadley's expression shifted, but she managed a forced smile. “Lilah, why haven't you gone to bed yet?"
