The sudden outburst caught everyone's attention. They heard Nelly exclaiming that their drama series could not get aired on television. This news dealt a heavy blow to everyone's confidence. Penelope, sobering up quickly, rushed over. "Nelly, what does this mean? Didn't we pass the review?"

Nelly's expression was grim. "They said our drama is too dark and isn't suitable for prime-time TV. We've put so much effort into this. We can't let it go to waste. I need to get some answers. I won't accept this without a fight!" They had high hopes for the drama's broadcast success. This news felt like a cold bucket of water poured over their heads, leaving them all stunned and disheartened.

"I'll go with you," Nina offered.

Unlike the others who were panicking, Nina remained relatively calm. She had anticipated various challenges.

Things were not as dire as they seemed. There was always hope. Nelly's expectations had been very high, and she held herself to equally high standards. From the start, she had aimed for a television broadcast.

Nelly was frowning the entire way because she knew they were relying on this drama for a comeback. If it could not air, it would be a massive loss for them.

She carried everyone's expectations on her shoulders and felt she had to do everything possible to secure their success.

Seeing Nelly's agitation, Nina tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, there's always a way."

"But how can I not worry?" Nelly replied. "It's not just you, it's also Penelope, and all the other actors. We've poured our hearts and souls into this. We're almost broke. It has to succeed!"

"The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. We haven't reached the worst-case scenario yet," Nina said.

Nelly looked at her. "I can't help it. My expectations are high. Didn't you say you're relying on this drama to provide for your child? You've invested so much money. You deserve a return. If it can't air, I'll feel guilty. 'Glory' deserves a prime-time slot to be complete!" She had many fixations, striving to do everything to the best of her ability. Getting a prime-time slot would validate their efforts.

Nina understood Nelly's feelings well. She held Nelly's hand and smiled. "Everything will work out. I believe in you."

This bolstered Nelly's confidence. She hugged Nina, her voice choked with emotion. "Thank you, Nina. You're like a little sun, always warming me!"

Nina patted her back, offering silent support.

When the car stopped in front of the broadcasting building, Nina reminded her, "We're here. Let's go."

Nelly composed herself, wiping her damp eyes and checking her appearance in a mirror before getting out of the car.

The broadcasting center was vast and it took them ten minutes to reach the office building. Inside, a large screen displayed advertisements for classic films. They took the elevator directly to the broadcasting bureau chief's office.

"Miss Smith, Miss Walker, our chief is in a meeting. You'll have to wait," the assistant said politely.

"That's fine. How long will it take?" Nelly asked.

"I'm not sure," the assistant replied.

There was a waiting area with sofa where they could sit. Someone quickly brought them water.

Nina had met the director twice before. He had a good relationship with Nash.

However, for a drama series to get approved, it needed to pass through the entire committee.

Nina did not understand why their drama could not get a prime-time slot.

They had adhered to strict guidelines, ensuring the content was positive and uplifting to facilitate a smooth approval process.
