The female reporter let out a cold laugh at Sabina' shameless composure. Tilting her head slightly, she said with cutting coolness, "Then what about the cigarette burns on your back? Are those made-up too?"
A heavy silence fell over the room. The atmosphere tightened like a rope drawn taut.
Sabina didn't answer right away. When she finally spoke, her voice remained calm, her expression unreadable.
"Cigarette burns? It's true I have scars on my back," she said evenly. "But they were caused by a burn from hot coals during a film shoot. I really don't understand why you would assume they came from cigarettes."
The reporter raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Since you say it was from coals, Miss Mills, would you be willing to show us your back to prove it?"
Before Sabina could respond, another reporter chimed in from across the room.
