Chapter 493 Zelena Was on Sick Leave
Trina responded, "Yes."
She then signalled her assistant to bring the nurse.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she asked Zelena, "Lena, tellright away, what happened that caused you to
fall from the horse?
"How did this happen again?"
Zelena shut her eyes, realising she couldn't even lift her hand without causing pain in her waist.
She said, "I'm not sure. | probably didn't grip the bridle properly. Everything happened so quickly, | couldn't see
clearly. D*mn it, | shouldn't have ridden that horse."
Trina gazed at her with concern and said, "Lena, your injury is truly a serious matter."
Zelena asked, "What's the matter?"
Trina replied, "With this injury, you won't be able to participate in any shoots for at least six months, and a full
recovery could take one to two years.
"Once the news of your injury is made public, the online comments will be manageable, but there are already

teeth.
She remarked, "Trina, please help me. | don't care who ends up with my projects, just not that Hattie! And
definitely not Violeta either."
Trina sighed with resignation, "Protecting your projects isn't as simple as it seems."
Zelena remained silent.
Trina continued, "What can we do to safeguard our projects? Ignoring the schedule isn't an option, and this
incident has affected 'Friendly Strangers’ as well. Luckily, we are the victims here, and the crew hasn't caused us
any further issues yet. They should cover the medical costs, and if we go to court, we might even get
compensation for emotional distress and lost income...
Zelena quickly responded, "No, we can't damage our relationship with the crew. How will | be able to continue in
this industry?"
Trina said, "Lena, we need to focus on protecting our benefits right now. Why are you...
Zelena interrupted, "I said no. I'm not going to just wait and suffer. I'll recover as quickly as | can... Ouch, it hurts
so much..." Trina gazed at Zelena with a deeply conflicted expression.
She finally asked a question she had been pondering for a long time.
"Lena, what made you decide to beca star in the first place?"
"Huh?"
Zelena was taken aback by the question and replied, "Well, to becfamous, of course."
Trina said, "That's a common response, but many people are really in it for the money.
"I've been in this industry for fifteen years and | see things clearly. Female artists only have a few peak years.
Even though our popularity and influence are still strong, the reality is that the variety show field has a low
ceiling.
"In a limited timeframe, the key is to maximise personal benefits as much as possible."
She gently reminded Zelena that making money should be the primary focus.
But Zelena looked somewhat disdainful and replied, "Do you mean to make money? My family is already well-off.
If it was just about money, why would I put myself through all this in this field?"
Trina's eyes brightened a little as she stood up from the bed and said, "Yes, you're right."
There are rarely wealthy heiresses who enter the entertainment industry unless they genuinely love it.
Trina could see that Zelena wasn't fond of the entertainment industry and lacked passion for acting.

She was probably drawn by superficial fame.
Only the mountain remains steadfast. People will run away. Relying on oneself is the most reliable way to ensure
security. Trina had witnessed many individuals who, driven by ambition, sacrificed friends, family, and loved
ones.
When ambition is matched with strength, rewards will follow.
However, Zelena's current situation was increasingly resembling that of many short-lived celebrities in the
entertainment industry.
As Trina noticed that she wasn't heeding her advice, she began to strategise her next steps.
Hattie took the lead in attempting to seize Zelena's projects.
Following team negotiations, the initial round did not succeed.
Since the other party was unaware of the specific details regarding Zelena's situation, any issues would result in

Meanwhile, sbrands favour Zelena and are not easily influenced.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the news broke. Zelena's team had announced she was on sick leave.
