Given Caleb’s somewhat scrawny appearance, Sabrinacouldn’t help but feel a bit skeptical about his capabilities.
Caleb, however, seemed unfazed by her doubts. He slapped his arm confidently and said, “post you wait, I’ll show you what I’m made of ”
This comment earned him a platil eve–roll from Sabrina She couldn’t help but think that his overconfidence might lead to a swift defeat.
The weightlifting competition began, and Diego immediately imited Jenson to step forward. Jenson walked up, and all the audience members held their breath in anticipation. After a quick warm–up, Jenson started lining. When he successfully lifted 48 pesmids, the crowd erupted into wild cheers and applause
“This is truly the strength of an award–winning actor!” they exclaimni

Diego, holding the microphone, continued to energize the atmosphere. “The current record is 58 pounds by our Oscar–winning actor. Let’s see how Caleb measures up
Caleb rolled up his sleeves, revealing well–defined biceps that indicated he had been training hard. Sabrina’s eyes widened in surprise, and she covered her mouth with her hand. She hadn’t expected this young man to have such hidden strength.
Caleb stepped up and effortlessly lifted 90 pounds, shocking everyone present. Despite his unassuming appearance, he clearly had some serious strength
A flicker of displeasure crossed Jenson’s eyes, but it was quickly hidden.
He approached Caleb with a smile, gently patting him on the shoulder and praising, “Impressive,”
Caleb, flattered by the compliment from his senior, scratched his head and replied with a modest, slightly bashful smile, “It’s only because you went easy on me.
With Caleb’s words, Jenson couldn’t really argue or compete with him. After all, Caleb was a junior. It would be beneath his status as an award–winning actor. Sabrina clapped “excitedly, Laughing with delight. She hadn’t expected Caleb to outdo Jenson
Diego, aware of the dynamics, still had to follow the format and asked, “The current highest is Caleb’s 99 pounds. Is there anyone willing to challenge that
The other two were women, and it was clear they wouldn’t be able to match that. Diego was about to move on when, to everyone’s surprise, Suzanne stepped forward She looked at the weightlifting machine and said gently, “Let me give it a try.”
Everyone in the room was taken aback.
Diego quickly composed himselt and, with a broad smile, promptly ignited the excitement in the room. “Jane, our esteemed guest, is about to take a shot at this. I’m curious to know how many pounds you’re going to attempt to litt?”
The audience assumed that Suzanne was merely trying to add some fun to the atmosphere
Suzanne simply replied calmly, “I’ll try 110 pounds.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Surely, she was joking, right?
Jenson furrowed his brows and looked at Suzanne disapprovingly “Suzanne, don’t be ridiculous. You could seriously injure yourself if you’re not careful.”
There had to be a limit to such antics. Suzanne was being overly reckless. In the audience, only Shane was brimming with confidence He crossed his arms, smiled softly, and watched Suzanne in silence.
After the initial shock wore off, the audience members couldn’t help but voice their questions.
“Suzanne? What’s that about? Does Jane have another name?”
“I have no idea, but I’m really eager to findout her true identity now!
Sabrina also stared at Suzanne in surprise. “Jane, are you absolutely sure?”
Lifting 110 pounds was already a formidable challenge for a man, let alone a woman. Suzanne give Sabrina, a reassuring glance but remained silent. Instead, she walked directly toward the weightlifting machine.
The weight on the machine was set at 110 pounds.

He quickly switched off his microphone and edged closer to Suzanne, trying to dissuade her in a hushed tone. “Dr. Smith, please, you really can’t treat this casually. We’re responsible for your seletyhere, and if anything goes wrong, we’ll be in deep trouble”
The thought of something bad happening to this important guest made his stomach chum. They could face some serious consequences that the production team might not be
able to handle.
But Suzanne just looked at
at Diego with a calm expression and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just 110 pounds. I’ve got this.”
Her voor was steady as if she was talking about something as simple as picking up a feather.
Diego was left dumbfounded just 110 pounds? It sounded so nonchalant coming from her, but for most people, that was an incredibly heavy weight to lift
Jenson, who had been completely ignored by Suzanne, now wore an extremely serious expression. Itis eyes were fixed intently on her, his brows knitted together in a frown.
He couldn’t help but wonder, “Does this woman have to be so stubborn? Is she really doing this just to prove something, to show me up?”
He couldn’t fathom why she was pushing herself to such an extreme.
The next instant, Suzanne stepped up to the weightlifting machine and prepared to make her attelat. In an instant, the entire room fell silent, and everyone’s hearts seemed to leap into their throats. They were filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation as they watched her.
