Chapter 127
“Oh? My magic tricks are just kiddie stuff, huh?” Astrid had a mocking glint in her eyes, “So, you’re
saying you can crack my trick?”
Respect is a two–way street. If this woman didn’t respect her, she didn’t need to be polite either
Mocking others?
She wasn’t scared at all.
“Can’t say anything else, huh? If you can’t, then stop talking crap!” Astrid shot a sharp look. “You, who
can’t even perform magic without messing up in front of fake audience, are mocking me?”
Everyone was shocked. They never expected Astrid to be so bold, to stand up to à senior. They were
all dumbfounded.
Susana had been in the business for over a decade. Although not particularly famous, she had some
experience, everyone called her ‘teacher‘. But this little girl right here, dared to call her trash?
“Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Let me tell you, don’t be too full of yourself! We have
special guests today. Once the big shots show up, your little tricks will be nothing. I can’t wait to see
you embarrass yourself in front of the national audience!” Susana was fuming, but despite her long–
winded speech, Astrid didn’t even spare her a glance.
As the countdown began, Susana, despite boiling with rage, composed herself and prepared to go on
stage.
The Illusionist’s Realm was an online variety show. But it stood out from the others. Most shows are
pre–recorded, so mistakes can be edited out But The Illusionist’s Realm was different. It was live, any
mistakes would be painfully awkward. That’s why many netizens watched the show. They were not
particularly interested in who had the best magic tricks. They were more interested in the cringe that
came with any magic gone wrong!
“Let’s welcome our stars for today, Susana and Astrid!” announced the host.
They were supposed to walk out together, but in a bid to steal the limelight, Susana walked out alone.
The director was so frustrated he could choke her. But it was live, he couldn’t call cut, and had to let
Susana walk out first.
After Susana took her place, Astrid walked out, looking elegant and cheeky in her light purple dress
and light makeup, Standing next to Susana, she.. outshone her completely.
Among the audience were many of Susana’s fans.
Astrid had only one supporter. She spotted him instantly, the guy in the hat and mask holding a placard
– Elio.
She twitched her mouth. Did this guy not have a job?
He was always around…
Even came–to–cheer her on.
But seeing him from the stage gave her a different feeling.
It was subtle.
When she looked at him, he formed a heart with his hands.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
The gesture seemed natural, but it warmed her heart a little.
“Please take your seats in the observation area,” said the host. As he finished, Susana hurried forward,
as if afraid that she’d walk in front of her.
The recording began. The initial performances were mediocre at best, with many obvious flaws.
Astrid frowned at the performances.
She sat bored, observing the audience, when she noticed a familiar figure in the second row. It was
Fannie Santos.
What was she doing here?
Was she planning to stir up trouble after a period of silence?
Astrid raised her eyebrows. Sometimes, she felt that Fannie was actually helping her. Every time
Fannie caused a scene, her own popularity would surge a bit.
