Ch. 91..100

Chapter 91 Maybe She Is Protecting You

Kim Morris was still rambling on the other end of the phone. He was trying everything to make Audrey convince Catherine into attending the reality show.

His words started to have an effect on Audrey. Now that her focus was on her career, she understood what Kim was trying to tell her.

It was a rare opportunity for her to participate in this reality show. She would probably never have another chance at fame if she missed this.

She raised her head and looked at Catherine. Catherine was still eating the barbecue at a leisurely pace.

She exuded an air of elegance even when she ate something as homely as barbecue.

Audrey looked at the face that semi-resembled her own. She still couldn’t make up her mind to ask Catherine about the reality show.

In her eyes, Catherine was an aloof yet sensitive person. She didn’t like to interact with the outside world. One could even say that she’s somewhat introverted.

Most importantly, she was still in school. Although the show would be shot on weekends, it might still affect her studies.

In an effort to make Kim stop nagging, Audrey tried to stall him by saying, “Kimmy, don’t worry. I will try my best to convince Catherine tonight. I’ll let you know if there’s good news!”

Without giving Kim a chance to reply, Audrey hung up the phone. Pretending nothing had happened, she returned to her seat and resumed eating the barbecue. She didn’t know that Catherine had heard her conversation loud and clear.

A few minutes passed. After a long hesitation, Audrey finally decided to speak. She pretended to ask Catherine casually, “Kathy, you saw me during the shoot today, didn’t you? Do like how it feels to be on TV?”

Catherine shook her head without hesitation. Her blank expression didn’t change in the slightest.

you

Audrey gave up. She had known that Catherine wouldn’t like it. Given her personality, there was no way that she would like it.

Audrey gave a cheerful smile, looking relieved. “That makes sense. Not everyone enjoys being in front of a camera.”

She noticed Catherine scrutinizing her and laughed awkwardly. She tried to pretend that everything was fine. “It’s ok, I just thought that this was a good time to make conversation. Don’t worry about it, let’s enjoy the food!”

Catherine looked at Audrey who was smiling awkwardly. For a split second, Catherine had the feeling that she didn’t understand her.

According to Kim, Audrey could ride the popularity of the show and elevate her status in the entertainment industry. If that was true, then Audrey should have asked her about it at the

first possible opportunity.

A long time had passed since Audrey learned this. Yet she took no action besides tentatively asking Catherine about it that one time.

Why would she rather endure being bullied by others, even to the extent of going swimming on her period, than to ask her to participate?

Catherine really couldn’t understand her!

They finished the barbecue without Audrey raising the matter again.

The two walked out of the barbecue restaurant. Unexpectedly, they ran into Triston and Branden when they stepped outside the doors.

Triston looked at the Swann sisters, his face filled with smugness. He looked at Branden with a raised brow and said happily, “What did I tell you? If you want to have a meal, the newest and most popular barbecue restaurant is the place to go. There’s even a chance of running into beauties. Mr. Duncan, are these ladies fit your liking?”

Audrey was rather happy to run into familiar faces. She was especially happy that one of them was Branden. Now she had the chance to open some opportunities for Catherine. This was great.

“Mr. Lambert, what a surprise to run into you two right after finishing our meal here. Are both of you planning to dine here as well?”

Triston was about to nod but was interrupted by Branden behind him. Branden’s thin lips spat out a cold, one-worded answer, “No!”

Triston turned around in shock. He only realized what Branden was trying to do after seeing his serious expression.

The ladies had finished eating, which meant that they were leaving the place. If they go inside now, they would have to bid the ladies farewell.

He quickly agreed with Branden, “We’ve eaten. We were planning to find a place to have a drink and give our bodies some time to digest the food. Would you like to join us?”

Audrey looked at Catherine, whose face was void of expression. Since Catherine didn’t show that she disliked the idea, Audrey made the decision for them.

“Never mind the drinks. How about we take a walk together to help digest the food we just ate?

After living with her for a while, Audrey had a rough understanding of Catherine’s preferences.

Although she appeared aloof, she was an amiable and easy-going person.

Triston stole a glance at Branden to see his reaction. Upon seeing that the person in charge didn’t mind the proposal, Triston could only nod in agreement despite his empty stomach.

“Alright, let us go for a walk!”

Coincidentally, there was a park beside the barbecue restaurant. The four decided to take their

walk there.

Triston and Audrey hit up a conversation quickly. On the other hand, Branden followed

Catherine at her pace.

Catherine walked very slowly, so the distance between the two pairs gradually increased.

Branden’s eyes were glued on Catherine. An almost imperceptible frown was present on her exquisitely beautiful face.

It looked like she had something on her mind, which made her look less distant and closer to life. It made her feel more real.

Branden opened his mouth slowly. With a rare tenderness in his voice, he asked, “Something troubling you?”

His voice blew past her ear like a refreshing breeze. She lifted her eyes and looked toward him. There was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She had to admit that Branden was something else.

He was the sort of person that was gifted with the characteristics of nobility. Every move he made was so eye-catching. It felt like he was someone from a higher dimension.

Despite that, he now exuded an aura of security that Catherine felt she could trust.

Noticing the change in her eyes, Brandon continued to comfort her, “Kathy, there are many things in life that you don’t need to accomplish alone. Others can help you if you tell them about your troubles. They can give you advice too.”

Catherine looked at him with her head tilted to one side. It was the first time she had heard something like this.

From a young age, everyone told her that she could only depend on and trust herself.

After contemplating for a moment, she thought there might be some truth to what he said, so she decided to take his advice.

She told him about Audrey’s situation.

He understood what she meant. She was a brilliant and outstanding individual, but she had

never experienced kinship.

Genisus were destined to be lonely. Catherine had lived in the countryside since she was young. It looked like the sisterly care that Audrey showed her was something beyond her realm of knowledge. It came as somewhat of a shock and she didn’t know how to react.

There was a smile on Branden’s impressively handsome face. He looked at her with great interest. He asked in a low and husky voice, “Have you considered the possibility that she is trying to protect you?”

“Protect me?” repeated Catherine. Her voice was filled with shock and confusion.

“Yes.” Branden nodded with a smile. “Perhaps she isn’t very bright in your eyes. However, sincerity is the only thing that matters in a relationship. She understands that you don’t like to interact with strangers. If you participate in the reality show, chances are your life will be affected by it. That’s why she stopped bringing it up. She’s trying to protect you!”

In order to protect her, Audrey would rather suffer and be the target of ridicule than to fight for a chance to make herself famous?

Is that really what was happening?

Chapter 92 You Know Nothing!

After the walk, Triston suggested going for round two. Unfortunately, Audrey had a shoot arranged for the day after, so she declined Triston’s offer.

The group disbanded, and Catherine was responsible for sending Audrey home.

As he watched the Swann sisters leave, Triston felt confused and asked, “Mr. Duncan, this was a great chance to be a gentleman. Why did you let it go?”

Triston had offered to send the two home with his car earlier but was declined by Catherine.

Catherine declined his offer, but Branden also refused the idea.

When Triston witnessed Branden declaring his ownership the last time, he had thought

Branden to be someone who knew their way to a woman’s heart.

Why, then, was he so romantically oblivious today?

Branden had heard him. He turned around and threw him an interesting look. Although he

didn’t say anything, Triston understood what he meant with that look.

“You know nothing!”

That’s what it meant.

Was Branden looking down on him?

Catherine sent Audrey home. Audrey’s phone in her pocket vibrated throughout the entire journey. She didn’t need to check her phone to know who was trying to reach her.

Kim survived many years in the entertainment industry without any background based on one sole quality-persistence. He always felt that Audrey had potential. However, she was from at wealthy family and didn’t take things seriously.

Audrey was the least popular celebrity under Kim. She had been with Kim for many years but had yet to make a name for herself. The fault was primarily her own.

Now that Audrey finally decided to start focusing on her career, there was no way that Kim would let her off easy.

Audrey felt her stomach cramp up and lost her focus momentarily. This wouldn’t have happened if she did not go into the water earlier today.

In order to enjoy being treated by others decently in the entertainment industry, one must be of high status.

It wasn’t long before they would arrive at Audrey’s apartment. After some internal struggle, Audrey decided make the request again. That way, she would be able to tell herself that she had tried her best even if she ends up being rejected.

“Kathy, can I trouble you with something?”

Catherine looked up at her without any expression on her listless face.

That made it difficult for Audrey to make her request. After taking a few deep breaths, she chose to make her request. “Kathy, can you go on that reality show with me? They require a family member to attend with the participant They could be the participant’s sibling or parent. The shoots only happen on weekends, so your studies won’t be affected. Can you please go with me?”

Catherine didn’t enjoy media exposure at all. She felt that this matter would be incredibly irritating. However, when she saw Audrey’s teary puppy eyes staring at her, she was suddenly unable to voice her rejection. She looked down. With a hint of resignation, she replied slowly. and softly. “Sure!”

Audrey had thought Catherine would reject her. She was just about to give Catherine words of comfort she had prepared. She didn’t want Catherine to feel guilty for turning her down.

She didn’t expect Catherine to agree!

Audrey was briefly stunned. When she registered what had happened, she looked at Catherine

with a brilliant smile.

“Kathy, you’ve agreed? That’s great! Thank you so much. I really mean it.”

When Catherine saw Audrey’s eyes filled with happiness, the last shred of resistance in her heart melted away.

“Yes. Go back home now. I’m leaving!”

Catherine drove off before Audrey could recover from her elation.

The next day, Catherine went to school as usual.

Ever since Bryan played with Catherine last time, he had always wanted to play with Catherine

again.

As far as they’re concerned, they’d be invincible as long as they had Catherine with them!

Catherine was the strongest leader!

The crowd abetted Bryan to invite Catherine. After all, Catherine only attended that birthday party for the sake of Bryan.

Bryan wanted to play with her too, so he braced himself and approached Catherine.

He scratched his head and looked at Catherine with an awkward and expectant expression.

“Boss, can I make a request?”

Catherine was feeling a bit lethargic. She opened her tired eyes and looked at him with a raised

brow.

Bryan understood that meant he had permission to continue.

He made his request hurriedly and excitedly, “Boss, can you join us for a few rounds over the weekend? You can pick any place of your liking as long as you join us for a gane or two.”

Bryan already imagined the epic scenario of Catherine leading their charge.

“It feels awesome to play with you. Even if we’re not playing, just watching you play is an enjoyment!”

After hearing Bryan’s request, Catherine answered without even looking up at him, “I can’t!”

“Why not?”

Bryan asked before he could stop himself. His brows were locked tightly together.

“I’m busy!”

The simple yet unfeeling words killed Bryan’s enthusiasm completely. He was devastated.

However, he only remained in that state for a few minutes.

A few minutes later, Bryan was back to his old self..

Noticing that Catherine had fallen asleep, Bryan left as he did not dare to disturb her.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Since the variety show started from inside the participants’ homes, Catherine moved into Audrey’s house the night before.

Audrey called Korbin personally to update him. However, Korbin didn’t care about such things

at all.

The only thing he was concerned with was having Catherine sign the transfer form three

months later.

Catherine arrived at Audrey’s house rather late in the night. By the time she entered the house, all the equipment had already been set up. The show would start as soon as the crew arrive the next morning.

Audrey was overjoyed to see Catherine arrive on time.

However, she frowned slightly upon seeing Catherine’s luggage. It consisted of a single small backpack.

“Kathy, why did you bring so few items?”

Catherine looked at her calmly and replied calmly, “It’s just two days, isn’t it?”

After replying, Catherine’s eyes fell on two huge suitcases. The contents had been packed, but the suitcases were still open. She could see that the two suitcases were both filled to the brim.

Noticing where Catherine was looking, Audrey gave an awkward laugh. “Comparatively speaking, I did pack a little too much. I was worried about accidents, so I packed a

comprehensive list of items.”

Despite saying so, Audrey started removing items from her luggage.

She was doing so because she noticed Catherine’s frown, which meant that Catherine didn’t like the amount of luggage she was bringing.

Eventually, after reluctantly discarding a plethora of items, she managed to reduce the number of suitcases to one. Only then did Catherine’s frown disappear.

Audrey finally felt relieved too. She was the one that asked Catherine for help, so she had to be mindful of how Catherine felt. She wouldn’t do anything that Catherine didn’t like! After all, she was an obedient sister. She wasn’t acting according to Catherine’s wishes because she was scared. No way.

Chapter 93 Disconnected

The following day, Catherine was awakened by a series of door knocks. She suddenly opened her eyes. A sinister light flashed across her empty eyes. She looked like a demon from hell.

If Audrey saw her like this, she would be scared shitless for sure.

Catherine managed to wake up fully after a few seconds. She disdained herself for accompanying Audrey for the shoot today. After getting off the bed, she opened the door for Audrey.

Audrey appeared to be in a cheery mood. She wearing a smile-a brilliant smile.

“Morning, Kathy!”

“Hmm!” replied Catherine unenthusiastically in a low and cold voice.

Audrey stood between the camera and Catherine, so the camera couldn’t see Catherine’s face. Only her voice was caught on tape.

The shooting crew had been feeling sleepy after waking up early in the morning.

Catherine’s grunt was like a frigid wind in the winter. It instantly made everyone fully awake.

Someone couldn’t help but mutter, “What a scary girl.”

Audrey was close and heard what was said. An undetectable trace of awkwardness flashed across her face.

However, she recovered very quickly. After all, she had gotten used to the of Catherine’s mannerisms.

“Kathy, dress

I’ll make you breakfast!”

After hearing what Audrey said, Catherine closed the door immediately.

That made Audrey on the other side of the door feel incredibly awkward. The cameramen didn’t know what to make of what just happened either.

Could it be that the sisters had a bad relationship?

It couldn’t be helped. After her awkwardness wore off, Audrey turned to face the camera and explained, “My sister is a bit introverted and shy of cameras. Don’t misunderstand. We have a great relationship!”

The crowd thought, “It’s kind of suspicious that you have to declare something like that directly.”

Although Audrey wasn’t a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, she came from a wealthy family. Even if her parents didn’t dote on her, she never had to do any chores.

It was impressive of her to make toast and hard-boiled eggs for breakfast. She also warmed up a glass of milk.

She had wanted to show off her cooking skills by making two sunny-side-up eggs. However, that was too grand of an undertaking for her. The process was way too arduous for her, and she couldn’t handle it. In the end, she gave up on the idea.

Audrey looked awkwardly at Catherine, who was sitting primly on her seat. She told her gingerly, “Kathy, please put up with my cooking and eat a few bites. If you get hungry again on our way to the studio, I’ll buy you more food!”

Catherine didn’t respond. She picked up the toast, broke off a piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Audrey kept staring at her. It wasn’t until she swallowed that Audrey finally felt relieved. She took that to mean that she had done a decent job at cooking, which explained why Catherine didn’t show any fuss.

After all, everything she made was simple. There wasn’t much to fuss about.

Feeling relieved, she put a piece of toast in her mouth and chomped down. Her expression twisted immediately.

It wasn’t clay she toasted, was it? Why was the toast as hard as a rock? Did she put it in the toaster for too long?

Unfortunately, she was in front of a camera. She had to swallow it no matter how painful it

was.

Catherine turned and threw a glance at her. Her eyes were cold as ice. She said in a low voice,” Don’t use baguettes to make toast next time!”

Audrey frowned in confusion. “Can’t baguettes be used to make toast?” she wondered.

A few

guys from the shooting crew laughed uncontrollably in front of the camera. They

almost lost their balance.

Baguettes were hard to begin with. Audrey didn’t understand how temperature affected cooking and threw them directly into the toaster for two minutes.

Although the baguettes weren’t burnt, they were hard enough to be used as weapons.

For the sake of her dignity, Audrey forced the bread down her throat. Catherine finished what Audrey put in front of her without expression and stood up. She needed to go back to her room and finish packing her luggage.

When she entered her room, the sound of vibration could be heard from her pocket. She reached for her phone and was surprised to see that it was a call from Branden. She lowered her eyes slightly and pressed the answer call button.

A husky voice came through the speaker. It was like a refreshing stream that captured her

heart.

“So you’re back in your room?”

Catherine had been feeling somewhat irritated, but his voice extinguished that feeling.

It was only after some time that she realized what he said.

She frowned slightly and looked puzzled. “How did you know?”

She had only just entered her room. It was strange for Branden to call her immediately. It was if he had installed surveillance on her.

Hearing the confusion in her voice, Branden was a little shocked too. He asked, “Didn’t you. know that the show is being streamed live for its entirety?”

That was why the crew had come the night before to set up their equipment. They had been preparing to stream the entire show live. It was far more difficult to set up than recorded shows as it required a lot of adjustment of the equipment.

In an attempt to avoid making the audience feel the show to be scripted, many reality shows. would arrange for part of their shows to be streamed live. Live streams provided more candid

reactions.

Some reality shows only streamed part of their shows live. After all, variety shows had to follow a general script. If they shot the entirety of the show live, chances are not many celebrities would be willing to attend.

After all, life before and behind the camera was different.

Celebrities were human too. If they were careless and exposed something obscene, they could. drop in popularity or even be prohibited from appearing in the media.

This reality show they were in now was one of those bold ones where the entirety of the show was streamed live. As a result, many celebrities turned down their offer. If that hadn’t been the case, the show would not have turned to a celebrity like Audrey, who had practically zero popularity.

Catherine tried to recall what happened last night. She seemed to remember Audrey mentioning something along those lines when telling her what to be careful of.

However, Audrey was very long-winded. Many of the things she said were useless. As a result, Catherine completely blanked during her brief. While she might have heard what she said, she didn’t actually listen to her.

She asked coldly, “So what if it’s streamed live?”

The man on the phone’s other end instantly knew she didn’t understand implications of a live stream. He curled his lips and laughed. “Haha, Kathy is really disconnected from reality.”

Upon hearing the snarky remark, Catherine’s brows furrowed even deeper than before.

How was she out of touch?

Paxton couldn’t help but feel some disdain towards his boss when he saw him assuming the role of a serious teacher and explaining to Catherine what live streamers implied.

How dare he accuse Catherine of being the one who’s disconnected from reality?

A certain someone asked his secretary what a live stream was just this morning and had already assumed the teacher’s role.

After Branden explained it to her, Catherine understood the implications of live streams. She suddenly regretted agreeing to help Audrey.

However, since she has agreed to it, naturally, she wouldn’t break the contract in the middle

of the stream.

That was just the sort of person she was!

After Paxton reminded him, Branden ended the call with Catherine somewhat reluctantly.

“Kathy, call me if anything happens.”

It was almost too easy for him to interfere in a reality show. Even making the entire show focus on the Swann sisters was something entirely within the realm of possibility.

After all, money made the world go round.

That was the kind of power he had. However, he also knew that Catherine also possessed that kind of power.

Since she didn’t try to interfere with how the show was run, it must mean she didn’t want to. If that was the case, he wouldn’t interfere either.

He wouldn’t interfere, but he would watch over her. He would only help should she need it.

Chapter 94 On the Way to the Studio

Audrey noticed that Catherine had been in her room for a very long time. She couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

The crew had already started to urge her to make Catherine come out. She had requested the crew not to install any surveillance cameras inside Catherine’s room. As a result, even she didn’t know what Catherine was doing inside.

Since Audrey was the least prominent celebrity of the show, she received the worst treatment. The show was streamed live in its entirety, which was why the production crew didn’t force her to do anything. If that hadn’t been the case, chances are they would have been hollering at her already.

Audrey was pressured by everyone from the show into hurrying Catherine. She didn’t have much choice but to go up to Catherine’s room. She prepared to knock

Suddenly, the door opened!

Audrey was stunned for a moment. She didn’t process what happened just yet.

Catherine held her suitcase and looked at Audrey. She asked, “Are you ready?”

“Mhmm!” Audrey nodded subconsciously.

“Let’s go!”

Catherine started walking out of the house. She paid no attention to Audrey, who had a big bag in one hand and big suitcase in the other.

Everyone from the shooting crew shuddered.

Audrey’s sister’s personality was way too cold!

They were lucky that Audrey wasn’t popular. Compared to other live streams, nothing was happening in Audrey’s.

The show’s title was “The Most Important Person in My Life.”

Some were couples, and some were mother and child. Others were siblings like Audrey.

The audience would choose from four different families.

They could choose a live stream that featured their preferred celebrity to increase that celebrity’s viewership. Alternatively, they could also watch the shared stream that rotated

between the families.

All three other celebrity’s streams were already full of viewers. Audrey’s stream, on the other hand, was rather deserted. There were barely any viewers.

1/4

Audrey left the house with Catherine. The other families set off too.

Compared to the abundant gags and talent displayed in the other families, Audrey and Catherine’s stream could be said to be an utter disaster.

After Catherine got in the car, she pressed her baseball cap visor down and started sleeping.

Audrey appeared to have gotten used to such behavior from her. She didn’t force Catherine to keep her company. She had left the house without any makeup on purpose today. The plan was to put on makeup during the live stream. Otherwise, having nothing to do during their ride. there would be awkward.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help the stream much.

It couldn’t be helped. The other three families were just too popular.

The show’s main star was a lifelong award-winning actress, Cindy Hill.

She only bothered to attend this show to make things easier in the future for her son.

Cindy had not starred in any film or movies for many years. She only starred in them when they were grand productions or when she wanted to compete for an acting award.

The award-winning actress was now starring in a reality show with her handsome son. Naturally, this was something that captured the attention of many fans.

After all, everyone wanted to know what the award-winning actress’ personal life was like.

The second family was a couple, Kate Cooper and Ryan Bell.

The two weren’t that different age-wise compared to Audrey. The same could not be said for the difference in their popularity.

The two were the most popular male and female idols right now. Their new television show aired during prime time, and they had a huge fanbase.

The fervent fans had all come to the couple’s stream to watch their displays of affection. The couple’s stream had even more viewers than the award-winning actress’s.

The last of the three was a pair of siblings, Nick Parker and Rick Parker.

The two were twins and the most popular merch-selling streamers. They had a huge fanbase. Elder brother Nick was the streamer, and younger brother Rick was his assistant.

Perhaps due to them being twins, they have excellent chemistry and were amazing at selling their merch.

They were the team with the most experience in streaming, as well as the team that knew how to interact with the audience the best. The number of viewers in their stream was just shy of

that of Kate’s team.

2/4

Audrey had no chance of winning against these three teams.

In the blink of an eye, the car arrived at the airport.

Audrey woke Catherine up gently. Catherine opened her eyes without any expression. Her gaze was slightly chilly.

Audrey thoughtfully handed over the Thermos bottle in her hands over. “Here, Kathy, have. some water. The temperature is just right. You’ll feel better after having some water after waking up.”

Catherine took the bottle. She didn’t show any sign of rejection.

After she drank the warm water, she actually did feel better, just like Audrey said.

A few fans who could not get into the other streamers’ streams due to internet issues. witnessed the scene in Audrey’s stream. They couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What the fuck, what a thoughtful sister. I want a sister like her too.”

“I want a sister like her, too”

“Her younger sister is a bit too stuck up. I don’t like her. I wanted to watch Kate’s stream but couldn’t get in because there were too many people. Boohoo…”

Audrey had her phone in her hand. She could hear the text-to-speech comments from the viewers. However, she didn’t mind.

As far as she was concerned, Catherine agreeing to go on the show with her was good enough. There was no point in forcing her to behave in a certain way.

After they alighted the car, the Swann sisters met with the other three families.

Since Audrey was a new celebrity, her popularity was even lower than that of the streamer brothers. She knew it was on her to greet them, so she took the initiative. She was afraid that Catherine wasn’t used to this kind of interaction, so she asked Catherine to take care of the luggage as she went up to the brothers alone.

What ended up happening was that fans started roasting Catherine.

Since the four families were meeting, some of the fans of the other families entered Audrey’s stream as they could not get inside their preferred family’s stream.

After seeing Catherine on camera, the chat started roasting her again.

“Holy shit, what the hell is this lass doing? Does she think she’ll impress someone by acting so cool?”

“I agree. Why is she wearing such a big cap? Is she so ugly that she’s feeling sorry for the viewers from all across the country?”

“She didn’t even bother to greet her seniors. She’s making her sister look bad.”

There were occasionally praises such as “Although the tip of her chin is the only part we can see, her chin is so anime-like. I’m really looking forward to seeing her face.” However, they were instantly swallowed by the sea of roasts.

The production crew had realized what was happening in Audrey’s stream. Not only did they not try to make an explanation for Catherine’s behavior, they were actually overjoyed to see

the roasts.

They had worried that there was no way to escalate conflicts through the power of editing due to the show being a live stream. That was something that would make the show more interesting to watch.

It must be stated that many people watch programs purely to do something to fill their time.

If there was someone to roast, a crowd of people who liked to roast others would be attracted to the stream. In a way, it was also a form of attention.

That was why many celebrities in the entertainment industry would create or reveal shocking

news.

After all, becoming infamous also meant becoming well-known. As long as she could become a well-known figure, it didn’t matter how people came to know about her. What mattered was getting people to know her.

The production crew didn’t mind that Audrey was a nobody and had no say in the industry. Ever since the show’s start, the sisters shouldered the responsibility of being the target of roasting.

Luckily, Catherine wasn’t bothered by the viewers. She pressed the visor of her cap ever lower. She sat in a willful and candid manner as she waited for Audrey to return from her networking,

After Audrey made one full round of the other families, she returned to Catherine. She excitedly said, “Kathy, this is my first time seeing Cindy in person. I love her movies.”

Compared to Audrey’s excitement, Catherine was so chill that she didn’t even throw a glance at her.

It wasn’t until they boarded the plane that Audrey stopped her incessant blabbering and finally allowed Catherine to rest in peace.

Chapter 95 A Slap across the Roasters’ Faces

The plane landed. The production crew had arranged a bus to take the four families to the destination. This was where they would stay for two days and one night.

Since the show was streamed live, only three hours were reserved for the four families to complete missions where they competed against one another. The rest of the time was for them to stream whatever they wanted to.

After arriving at the destination, the production crew did not provide the families with food or help. The celebrities had to get everything by themselves.

The production crew had one clear and simple goal: to make life difficult for the celebrities!

The four families started drawing lots to see which accommodation they would stay in.

Audrey took the initiative to draw the first lot. Unfortunately, she picked the worst lot. It was a small bungalow. Her heart sank immediately. Afraid that Catherine would go crazy, she turned around carefully and peeked at her.

The viewers commented, “Did you guys see that minute expression of Audrey? She looks like me when my mother found out I did something wrong when I was young!”

“Interesting eye gesture.”

“Audrey’s makeup is so good! It hasn’t smudged after such a long time! I’m envious!”

Catherine glanced at the comments. Comments of all kinds were talking about Audrey’s

expression.

She looked up toward Audrey and saw her returning to her.

With innocent blinking eyes, Audrey said, “Kathy, I got the worst house!”

Catherine didn’t say anything. She started walking while dragging her suitcase along.

The comment section exploded again upon seeing Catherine leave.

The viewers agreed unanimously that Catherine’s reaction was uncalled for, and she had a bad

temper.

“This girl is way too arrogant. It was just the luck of the draw that they ended up with the worst house. That’s not Audrey’s fault.”

“I agree with the previous comment. Poor Audrey, I feel so sorry for you…”

“I would never want a sister like her!”

Catherine had a keen sense of hearing. She had heard everything the production crew told the

celebrities a second ago.

All three other teams received hints on how to avoid picking the worst lot. Audrey was supposed to pick the worst lot, so there was no need to give her any tips.

It was a predetermined outcome. So be it. Catherine didn’t want to try to change it. She couldn’t be bothered to!

The Parker brothers saw Audrey looking devastated and proposed to her,

“Audrey, we managed to land a rather decent house. The facilities inside aren’t too bad either. How about we make a switch?”

The brothers landed a two-story cottage, which Audrey had her eyes on from the start. She

didn’t need the best house but didn’t want the worst one. Who would have known that she

would pick the worst one?

Audrey was furious when she knew she picked the worst one. It was one thing to have bad

luck, but Catherine would have to suffer with her. What should she do?

Audrey wanted to accept the brothers’ proposal.

However, she remembered agreeing with Catherine that she would discuss everything with her before making any decision. So instead of deciding by herself, she turned and looked for

Catherine.

“Kathy, the Parker brothers are willing to trade houses with us. What do you say?”

Catherine replied apathetically without even turning to look at Audrey, “There’s no need!”

Audrey understood that Catherine didn’t want to trade. She had seen the comments from

earlier too.

She was worried that if she tried to understand why she didn’t want to, the viewers would start roasting her aloof nature again. She stopped herself in a hurry and then rejected the Parker brothers.

Not only was their house the worst, but it was also the furthest.

Audrey dragged her suitcase along for a very long time before she finally found the house they would stay in. She even came close to losing her way two times on their journey there. Luckily, Catherine managed to stop her and guided her back on the right path.

The suitcase was awfully heavy. So was the backpack.

She was envious of Catherine, who had only had a purse. What a stress-free way to travel.

Viewers commented, “This younger sister is just too much. Are her limbs broken? How could she not even offer to help carry the luggage? If I were the elder sister, I would have gone crazy long ago.”

A new round of roasts began.

The comments were coming so quickly that there was barely any time to read them!

Word of the situation even reached the director.

“Director, although Audrey’s stream’s numbers are still very low, they have improved significantly compared to earlier in the morning!”

Upon hearing the news, the director turned around. Looking at his assistant, he asked, “What happened?”

The assistant explained what happened to the director, “Audrey’s sister has a poor character. The viewers are all watching the stream to roast her!”

The director was excited and happy.

“Good, good. Conflicts give rise to popularity. You guys think of ways to make the situation worse, Shoot from a few different angles, and add in a few bloopers. You guys catch my drift?”

The assistant smiled creepily. He had spent years in the industry and knew exactly how to edit the videos to produce the effects that the director was looking for.

He agreed in a buttery tone, “Don’t worry, director, I’ll settle it!”

Audrey, in the meantime…

Eventually, they found the house allocated to them using the map. However, when they finally arrived at the house, Audrey was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at the thousand-steps staircase in front of her and felt her soul crushed. She suspected that the production crew had done all of this on purpose. Were they trying to kill her by making her climb a thousand steps while dragging her suitcase along?

They still had missions in the afternoon. How was she supposed to handle that?

She turned and looked at one of the cameramen and asked, “So I’ll have to climb the staircase myself, and no one is going to help bring my luggage up, correct?”

The voice of the cameraman could be heard off-screen. “The production crew needs you to do everything by yourself!”

The viewers were roaring with laughter. Audrey’s expressions were simply adorable. A bunch of viewers became her fans instantly.

“Poor Audrey, things would be so much easier if her sister decided to help her!”

“Fat hope. Just forget that her sister exists!”

Audrey accepted her fate.

Among the four teams, she was the least popular celebrity with the least amount of fans. Who

else was the production crew going to target as the clown of the show?

Noticing that Catherine had climbed several steps already, she hurriedly grabbed her suitcase and tried to catch up.

However, her suitcase was very heavy. The luggage she had almost crushed her.

The camera team had received instruction from the director that they were not to help, no

matter what happened.

Their sole aim was to create trouble.

At the same time, the comments started coming in again. They were a mix of sympathy for Audrey and increased dislike towards Catherine.

The number of roasts gradually increased in the comments.

The director and his crew were overjoyed. Their joy came at the cost of Audrey’s suffering.

Catherine’s pace wasn’t very quick. It looked like she was waiting for Audrey to catch up.

Audrey finally made it halfway up the stairs after tremendous effort. She stopped to take a

breather.

Unfortunately, her sweat had made her hands slippery. The suitcase escaped her grasp.

Audrey tried to stop the luggage from falling down the stairs without thinking. Half of the suitcase was filled with her cosmetics. They were crucial to her job. She could not continue to stream if the cosmetics were damaged.

What ended up happening was a cry of pain was heard.

The camera team panicked. While they did intend to create trouble, it was a different matter if the celebrities were injured.

They would have created an accident, and the consequences for doing so were severe.

Just as Audrey was about to fall flat on her face, against everyone’s expectations, Catherine

saved her.

She was so quick that even the viewer didn’t manage to see exactly how she managed to dash and grab Audrey.

With her hand on Audrey’s waist, she pulled Audrey toward herself. At the same time, she used the other hand to grab hold of Audrey’s suitcase that was sliding down.

It was an incredible scene.

The comment section was bombarded with tons of comemnts!

“Too cool!”

“What an awesome scene!”

Chapter 96 A Beautiful and Cool Boss

Catherine only released her hold on Audrey after the latter had found her footing.

Audrey was still in shock. If Catherine hadn’t caught her in time, she would have fallen flat on her face. Even if she didn’t become a cripple after falling so many steps, she would probably end up disfigured. She felt that she would have PTSD of stairs from now on.

“Kathy, thank you so much! I would have no clue what to do if it wasn’t for you!”

When the viewers heard Audrey’s words, they couldn’t help but type out sarcastic remarks.

They all thought that Catherine would abuse her act of saving Audrey and start treating Audrey even worse than before.

Catherine disappointed the viewers. She didn’t say a word and resumed climbing the stairs while holding Audrey’s luggage in one hand.

Audrey looked at Catherine’s back view and immediately felt her brain functions grind to a

halt.

How was her sister climbing the stairs so effortlessly with her suitcase? The same suitcase that took everything out of her to drag it up halfway up the stairs.

Could her sister be Hercules?

Audrey caught up to her and couldn’t help but ask, “Kathy, is it heavy? Do you want us to carry it together?”

“No need!” Rejected Catherine in a cold voice. Her voice was very apathetic.

Audrey released her hand on the suitcase subconsciously. Audrey had a much easier time now that she no longer needed to heave the suitcase around. She even found the energy to start chatting with Catherine. “Kathy, how are you so strong? It took everything out of me to lug that suitcase around, yet you are moving it with just one hand!”

Catherine continued to look forward without even throwing a glance at her. She said coldly,” I’ve done a lot of manual labor, so I’m strong!”

Audrey thought about it and felt it made sense. Catherine had spent her childhood in the countryside. She must have had to do a lot of manual labor.

Audrey felt her heart ache upon reaching that conclusion.

Kathy must have suffered a lot in the countryside. Audrey decided that she would try her best to take good care of her from now on.

The two eventually arrived in front of the house. It wasn’t until they entered the house that they realized there wasn’t even an air-conditioning unit inside.

1/4

There was only a worn-down oscillating fan.

Audrey couldn’t help but start complaining. On the other hand, Catherine took off her baseball cap quietly, tied up her hair, and started resting.

When the camera captured Catherine’s face, the viewers went crazy.

The viewers commented, “Oh my god, she is so good-looking!”

“Beautiful and cool at the same time. I’m in love…”

“Why didn’t she become a celebrity? She’s definitely pretty enough.”

“What an amazing pair of sisters. Having the elder sister be pretty is one thing, but who would have expected the younger sister to be even prettier?”

“My morals are guided by my eyes. I’m a fan now!”

“Everyone, have you realized that she doesn’t have makeup on? My god, kill me…”

The comment section took a complete 180 the instant Catherine revealed her face.

After arranging her stuff, Audrey decided to reward Catherine, who had a long day.

Since it was their first meal, the production crew made an exception and provided the with some ingredients for them to make a meal of.

guests

Audrey looked at the ingredients. Neither had a big appetite, so there should be sufficient to fill them. She decided to show off her culinary skills by making Catherine a nice meal.

Catherine didn’t eat much in the morning. She definitely needed to eat something for lunch!

By the time Audrey’s team entered their house, the other teams had already begun eating.

Cindy’s team’s dishes looked the most appetizing. After all, she was a mother. Cindy looked. closer to life when she cooked, which drove her fans. crazy.

Although Kate Bell and Ryan Bell’s cooking wasn’t as great, they had their meals at least.

They fed each other, displaying their affection for each other over and over. Their fans were highly hyped to witness the pair being all lovey-dovey.

The Parker brothers surprised everyone. Nobody expected the popular streamers to be great at

cooking.

The elder brother was responsible for cleaning and cutting, while the younger brother was responsible for cooking. They two made a great team.

The brothers explained afterward that they had come from a poor family and started working at a young age. At one point, they even worked as helpers in a hotel kitchen. It was only natural that they had some cooking skills.

214

That won them the pity of many viewers who felt that they really had a hard time growing up. Their viewer count spiked again, and a bunch of new viewers became their fans.

Things were kind of a joke when it came to Audrey’s team.

Audrey looked at the ingredients available and decided to cook some homemade dishes. From what she understood, Catherine liked spicy food. Making a spicy dish must be the right move.

She took the eggs and was on the way to the sink to wash them. Unfortunately, her hand slipped, and she broke one of them.

There were only three eggs to begin with. Now there were just two.

What an unlucky start. Audrey decided to make something else instead to change her luck, hopefully. She raised the knife and prepared to cut the meat. In the next moment, a cry was heard. “Ah…” She cut her finger.

The scream finally alerted Catherine.

Audrey heard her footsteps and looked at her with panic in her eyes while covering her bleeding hand. Audrey’s first reaction was to apologize. “Kathy, it looks like I messed up again.

Catherine didn’t say a word. She dragged her by her non-injured hand onto a chair. She opened her backpack, found the band-aids, and started dressing Audrey’s wound.

The cut was small, so just one band-aid was enough.

The entire process was both quick and professional, which was very impressive.

When Catherine wasn’t talking, she emanated a chilling aura that scared people off from approaching her.

Audrey didn’t dare to make her mad. She held her breath and didn’t dare to move a muscle. She had watched a lot of cooking shows. It looked so easy when the cooking streamers made the dishes. Why was it so difficult when she tried to make them herself?

Audrey frowned and looked upset.

Catherine left Audrey after dressing her wound.

Audrey followed her in a hurry upon seeing her leave.

Catherine entered the kitchen. She scanned the ingredients and understood roughly the dishes that Audrey was trying to make.

Before Audrey realized what was happening, Catherine had picked up the kitchen knife. It was now too late to stop her.

Audrey held her breath as she watched Catherine. She was worried that Catherine would cut

her hand like she had.

A few minutes passed, and Audrey was still frozen like a statue. She was in awe.

The viewers were amazed too.

“Wow, what incredible knife skills! The meat was cut into identical strips as if a machine made the cuts!”

“Cook here. I can guarantee that she has at least ten years of experience working with knives to have this level of proficiency!”

“Don’t you guys find this scene slightly creepy? A girl with a poker face chopping up meat… It feels kind of…”

“I’m that guy who said that my eyes guide my morals. I’m willing to be the meat if this girl does the chopping…”

Not only were Catherine’s movements clean, but they were also fast. It didn’t take long for her to finish cutting all the meat.

Just like Audrey envisioned, she heated some oil and put the raw ingredients in.

Ten minutes later, two sizzling hot dishes were ready.

It wasn’t until Catherine started carrying the dishes to the dining table that Audrey realized she had finished cooking. She quickly volunteered to help. “Kathy, I’ll get the rice!” However, she was shocked when she opened the rice cooker.

Chapter 97 Stupid Sister

Audrey was so shocked because she found the rice was still the same as when she put them in and hadn’t changed a bit. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “My God. How could this happen?”

Catherine, who had already placed the ingredients, came over and checked it out. Then, she picked up the unplugged plug and looked at Audrey coldly.

With an embarrassed look on her face, Audrey hadn’t expected it to be like this. All she could do was pout and apologize sincerely “Kathy, I’m sorry. I’m so stupid!”

Catherine didn’t reply to her or scold her. She turned around, took out some noodles, boiled water, and put the noodles in. In the comment area, many people laughed like crazy.

[I didn’t expect someone to leave the electricity unplugged while cooking rice…]

[Audrey’s expression just now was too cute. That could be a meme!]

[Her sister is too cold and unlikable. Anyway, I don’t like her!]

[I don’t think so. Don’t you feel that one is like the president and the other is like a wife?]

[I agree.]

[I agree too.]

Catherine put the fried tomato and eggs in the noodles and stirred them. This was their staple food.

Audrey took the initiative to wash the dishes and set the tableware to make up for her mistake. She was absent the whole time. She felt she was so stupid that she was dragging Catherine down.

Catherine had eaten half of her meal, but Audrey hadn’t moved.

“You don’t like it?”

Her flat voice brought Audrey back to her senses in an instant. She shook her head hastily. ” Yes, I love it!”

Audrey quickly put a bunch of noodles into her mouth to prove she wasn’t lying. After chewing a few times, she froze immediately.

Seeing Audrey freeze, the subscribers in front of the screen continued to post comments frantically.

[What expression is that? How bad is it?]

[I have been meaning to say for a long time that it is not tasty. It’s too complex. Pretty is useless. Taste is the most important thing!]

However, in the next second, Audrey shocked everyone again. She swallowed the noodles in her mouth and looked at Catherine with widened eyes in surprise.

“Kathy, it’s delicious.” Audrey picked up the bowl on the table and put it in front of her eyes. for a closer look, wholly immersed in it.

Then she put down the bowl, looked at Catherine in bewilderment, and let out a burst of wonder.

“Kathy, those are common ingredients. Nothing special, right? How can you make them so delicious? It’s amazing!”

Audrey’s praise didn’t change Catherine’s indifferent expression. She still ate her noodles in small bites, while Audrey’s exclamation was still ringing in her ears.

Pasta could make people gain weight. As a beauty influencer, Audrey had to maintain her figure. But the noodles made by Catherine were so delicious that Audrey couldn’t stop.

After finishing before Audrey, Catherine lay down on the bed beside her, put on her hat, and had a rest.

Because the room was small, the table was next to the bed.

To avoid disturbing Catherine, Audrey continued to eat the noodles carefully and quietly washed the dishes after eating.

After waking up and seeing the clean table, Catherine showed no dissatisfaction.

So far, she hadn’t regretted going out with Audrey.

Audrey wasn’t causing trouble. She was a bit stupid but knew how to behave and what to do or not do.

Catherine woke up, not because she had slept enough, but because the program group had asked the four families to participate in the taping together that afternoon.

Seeing her wake up, Audrey was happy and smiled brightly while looking at her. “Kathy, you’re awake. Just the right time! Now we’re sure we won’t be late.”

“Yes!” Catherine replied in a low voice, got off the bed, straightened her clothes, put on her hat, and was about to go out.

Seeing that she was about to go out, Audrey raised her voice instantly. “Kathy, are you going out like this?”

Catherine turned her head, raised her eyebrows, and looked at her suspiciously.

She looked at herself again and found nothing wrong, and her clothes were neatly put on.

Seeing that she hadn’t noticed her negligence, Audrey dragged her into the room.

Audrey took out her special sunscreen spray and sprayed the exposed parts of Catherine’s body.

“The sun is so strong outside, so you need sun protection, you know? Even if you have fair skin and are not afraid of the sun, you still have to pay attention, or you will get spots!”

After spraying, Audrey saw that Catherine was still in a daze, so she spread the ointment. herself for Catherine.

Touching her arm, Audrey let out another burst of surprise after a while.

“Kathy, how do you take care of your skin? Your skin is so good! What body lotion do you use? Your skin is so smooth.”

“Body lotion?”

Catherine frowned and replied in a cold voice, “I’ve never used anything like that!”

Audrey believed her when she said she didn’t use anything.

Nowadays a lot of girls said they didn’t wear makeup, but in reality, almost all of them were wearing semi-permanent makeup.

But Catherine wouldn’t do that. Audrey knew she was indifferent but wouldn’t lie or put on airs.

Audrey couldn’t help but marvel again, “Kathy, we have the same mother, but why are we so different? Your skin is still so good without maintenance. I take care of my skin every day, but my skin can’t compare with yours. I have a headache.”

As Catherine watched Audrey apply sunscreen in earnest, she felt a little dizzy.

This was the first time someone had been so close to her for so long. And the point was that she didn’t reject it.

It would be incredible for Ronin to see it.

After all, someone had deliberately approached her at the base, causing her to unconsciously hit the guy and cripple his hands.

At this point, it might be a miracle that Audrey had been able to touch her for so long.

Seeing that the application of sunscreen was almost finished, Audrey stopped. “Okay. Let’s go!

Audrey was carrying a lot while Catherine seemed not to have much burden.

When they arrived, two groups had already been there. Only the group that Cindy belonged to

had not yet arrived.

It was usual for a big star to come out on the finale.

Seeing Audrey and Catherine arriving late, Kate was very upset.

In the entertainment industry, experience was the most important thing. It could even affect the order of the red carpet, not to mention the filming of the show.

Audrey, a minor internet celebrity, arrived later than her with a student, which she could not

accept.

She smiled at Audrey and said, “Your nap seems to be good and even made you late!”

She seemed concerned about Audrey, but she was telling everyone that the two of them were late.

Sure enough, after Kate finished speaking, there was a heated discussion in the comment area.

Kate’s fans started blasting Audrey and Catherine.

[An unknown Internet celebrity dares to ask Kate to wait for her? She is putting on airs!]

[What is the program group doing? Why would they invite such a person with no sense of punctuality?]

[We will boycott them. We won’t watch the footage that includes them!]

[I totally agree!]

[They should be boycotted!]

Chapter 98 Catching Fish

The program group’s Risk Assessment and Control team spotted this problem right away. There was a lot of criticism of Audrey and Catherine in the comments section.

They reported the problem to the director team as soon as possible. But the director team told them to ignore them and not to ask someone to control the comment section.

At first, the director team was concerned that the live show would have little controversy without editing. Without contradictions and disputes, there would be no hot discussion.

Actually, Audrey and Catherine were not late. They set off earlier than the other two groups. But their house was too far from the place chosen by the program group. Kate was the closest, so she could almost walk there.

Someone spotted this and said it in the comments. But compared to the words of Kate’s fans, their words were too insignificant and had long been drowned in complaints and boycotts.

Audrey took one look at Kate and offered to apologize to the other two groups for being late.

Others didn’t care about it, but Kate was different. She was disdaining this while feigning generosity.

“It’s okay. We didn’t wait for too long.”

Audrey knew Kate was giving her a hard time, but she couldn’t help it. After all, she was not as popular as Kate and had fewer fans.

So, she could only endure it!

Standing aside and watching all this, Catherine didn’t move. She had no energy and didn’t

want to care about it.

If Audrey didn’t even want to fight back even when someone bullied her, then she was hopeless.

She didn’t need to help such a hopeless person.

In the end, the war without gunpowder did not subside until Cindy appeared.

After everyone arrived, the program team began to announce the rules.

The director stood up and looked at everyone with a smile. He was clearly a scheming and evil

man.

The program team gave the director a close-up and added a text box beside him that read,

The show is about to begin. Today’s rules are simple. The person who catches the most fish and is the most popular in the live room wins. The first-place finisher gets to enjoy the cooked food, and the last place finisher must be punished and responsible for feeding and cleaning the other two groups of families.”

The rules were straightforward. It rewarded the first place slightly but punished the last place. quite badly.

After understanding the rules, Audrey immediately had a frightened expression. She looked at Catherine timidly and asked her in a low voice, “Kathy, can you catch fish?”

She had never fished since she was a child. Now, she could only hope that Catherine had been exposed to these things while living in the country. She had seen country kids on TV dramas going down to the river in the summer to catch fish.

Catherine responded with a casual and sloppy expression in a low voice, “I haven’t tried it!”

Hearing Catherine’s answer, Audrey became more depressed and faced the camera with a sad expression. She quietly removed the earphones and whispered in Catherine’s ear, “Kathy, should I tell my friends to give us more likes? More likes will increase our popularity. I don’t expect to be the first place or the last. I don’t want to clean or cook for anyone!”

Catherine also didn’t want to clean or cook for so many people.

She did her best to suppress her boredom when cooking for Audrey, let alone for so many people.

However, she still had an indifferent expression and said in a low voice, “Up to you!”

Seeing that Catherine did not object, Audrey immediately made preparations. But she underestimated the rigor of the program group’s control. She had no way of getting her phone at all, so she couldn’t notify her good friends to give her likes.

In desperation, Audrey could only hope she would be lucky enough to catch more fish today.

The

program group gave them uniform underwater clothing. Once the clothing was unified, the importance of appearance would come to the fore.

Everyone stood in a row. Catherine was silent the whole time, but her face was enough to shock the audience in front of the screen.

There was a lively discussion again in the comment area.

[Audrey’s younger sister looks prettier than Kate!]

[Don’t get involved with Kate! We are not interested in her.]

[I’m not a fan of either of them, but she’s definitely prettier than Kate’s. Audrey seems to be the daughter of a wealthy family.]

[The daughter of a wealthy family? Why was she unknown for so long? Also, you can see that

her sister’s dress doesn’t even have a logo on it. It was clearly a defective product. I didn’t expect her to be so pretentious even then!]

The comment section was buzzing, and fans were frantically giving likes to their idols.

The show was full of all kinds of competition. The most outstanding one was the group that Kate and Ryan were in. With good luck, Ryan caught a fish shortly after entering the water.

Kate held a fish basket and frantically called on her fans in front of the camera.

“My friends, the group we are in today is undoubtedly lucky. I hope I can bring my luck to the children in the slums! Let’s work hard together!”

As an idol, it was inconvenient for Kate to ask her fans to give her likes directly. After all, it was easy to provoke ridicule.

The program group said before that all the income from this program would be donated to children in poverty-stricken areas for charity before the next program was broadcast.

Kate was asking fans to give her likes in another way. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, her fans went crazy. The fans of their group could go wild for their idols. And it was in the name of charity, which made it more natural.

For a while, the number of likes in Kate’s live broadcast continued to rise and far surpassed that of the other three groups.

Kate felt smug as she thanked her fans. She was very confident that she would win the first. place in this kind of show.

Kate didn’t pay attention to those humble Internet celebrities. She didn’t think she was easy to

mess with.

Compared with the hotness of Kate’s group, Audrey’s group was quite bleak.

Audrey’s clothes were soaked by now, but she still didn’t catch any fish, making her stomp her feet angrily.

Catherine relaxed and rested against the tree on the bank as if she didn’t want to enter the

water.

Because of this, Audrey’s live broadcast room also had heated discussions, but they all scolded. Catherine as if anyone unhappy could vent their anger here.

The other three groups caught some fish while Audrey still got nothing. Even Nick and his brother beside her couldn’t help but worry about her.

Nick quipped to Audrey. “Why don’t you ask your sister to do it with you? You might have a better chance when doing it together!”

Audrey showed a flat smile and calm eyes, which showed no emotion of complaint. “Don’t worry. My sister helped me too much this morning, so she’s tired now. Let her rest.”

Seeing that Audrey didn’t care, Nick and his brother didn’t say anything more

Chapter 99 Ten Thousand Sky Arrows

A long time passed, and Audrey still got nothing. Now there were only ten minutes left before the end time set by the program group. When Audrey saw her walking towards the river, she followed her anxiously. “Kathy, what are you doing?”

Anyway, she was going to lose, so Audrey simply gave up trying. In a good mood, Audrey smiled and walked to the tree to have a rest with Catherine.

The leisurely state of the two girls stunned everyone. They seemed to have given up on themselves. Seeing that they had given up, the other three groups were less nervous.

After all, not everyone wanted to be number one like Kate. It was fine for them not to be last and not get penalized.

Not long after Audrey sat down, Catherine stood up suddenly.

Seeing her walking towards the river, Audrey followed anxiously. “Kathy, what are you doing?

Catherine didn’t reply with a cold attitude.

But Audrey didn’t care because she pretty much knew Catherine’s temperament already, knowing that this was her personality.

Thinking that Catherine was about to go into the water for a last-ditch effort, Audrey hurried after her and shouted, “Kathy, forget it. Don’t go into the water. You’ll feel bad if your clothes get wet.”

She did feel bad. The water had soaked her pants. If she hadn’t been in front of the camera, she would have taken off her wet suit and cleaned herself up

In the face of Audrey’s harsh persuasion, Catherine was unmoved and continued on her way.

Having no choice, Audrey ran up and tried to pull her.

Before entering the water, Catherine turned around suddenly, looked at Audrey with starry eyes, and said sternly, “Stay here. Don’t move!”

Startled by her, Audrey obediently stood there still. But she watched Catherine’s movement the whole time for fear that something might happen to her.

every

The cameraman took a close-up of Catherine. Everyone wanted to know what Catherine was going to do after being silent for so long.

Branden finally finished negotiating with a group of partners. As soon as he got into the car, he couldn’t wait to glance at Paxton.

Immediately understanding, Paxton put the computer that had been set up in front of Branden.

On the screen was the live event where Catherine was. Seeing that the number of likes of the other three groups kept skyrocketing and some strange things were frantically popping up while Catherine’s group got nothing, Branden frowned slightly.

“What’s this?”

Glancing at it, Paxton quickly applied what he had just learned about live streaming.

“This is a gift, which is the fans’ support for their idol. During the time specified in this program, the person who

gets the most gifts will have a great chance of winning!”

Paxton made Branden frown tightly for a moment.

Branden glanced at it and said solemnly with a serious look on his face. “Which one is the most expensive?”

“This!” Paxton adjusted the screen so that Branden could see it better. “This is called the Sky Arrow. Its price is one thousand dollars!”

“So cheap!”

Facing Branden, who didn’t know much about ordinary people, Paxton still had an indifferent expression.

For Branden, this price was really low.

Branden tapped his fingers on his knee and said in a charming and domineering voice, “Buy ten thousand Sky Arrows to see how it is going!”

He didn’t care even if the one he loved would lose, but she couldn’t lose because of lack of money!

In particular, they couldn’t lose in terms of momentum.

“Yes, sir.”

Paxton did as he was told without hesitation.

Just now, a fan posted a comment to ridicule Audrey for being as poor as a beggar and suggested that unknown Internet celebrities like her quit the show immediately.

But in the next second, a Sky Arrow suddenly flew across the screen.

[Thanks to “user v587” for the gift. I hope your luck can soar like Sky Arrow!]

Paxton was operating it for the first time and was somewhat inexperienced with it, so he just

sent one Sky Arrow.

It drew jeers from Kate’s fans again.

However, as soon as their taunts appeared in the comment section, something shocked them once again.

[Thanks to “user v587” for the gift. You are such a brilliant supporter of your idol, just like these ten thousand Sky Arrows!]

Ten thousand Sky Arrows frantically shuttled across the screen.

These Sky Arrows stunned the fans who were watching the live broadcast. They felt as if their computer had encountered some problems so that they couldn’t even see the people in the picture.

In addition to the fans, the entire program group was instantly shocked.

A mysterious person bought ten thousand Sky Arrows, which directly sent Catherine’s live broadcast room to the top of the list.

It was so shocking that it took five minutes for all the Sky Arrows to cross the screen. Everyone still didn’t come back to their senses.

There was a lively discussion again in the comment area.

[It is finally over. It almost blinded me.]

[My eye disease seems to be getting worse. Is this a show accident? Can I get compensation?]

[Who the hell is that? I have watched the live broadcast for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen such a grand scene!]

[It was so extraordinary]

[You are right!]

Paxton reported to Branden immediately after all the Sky Arrows had been sent.

“Mr. Duncan, their broadcast room is number one now. Do we still need to send Sky Arrows?”

Branden waved his hand to signal Paxton to stop for now. This was not because he couldn’t afford them, but because these Sky Arrows would affect his watching the live broadcast.

Many fans were attracted to Audrey’s live broadcast room by these Sky Arrows, which made their popularity soar instantly.

Audrey and Catherine still didn’t know anything about Branden’s crazy behavior at this time.

All Audrey’s attention was on Catherine, who was now watching her feet.

She stood below the mouth of the river and watched the tiny bubbles rise from the surface of the water.

On her delicate and beautiful face, a touch of self-confidence flashed in her star-like eyes.

The time was almost up. She was ready to net!

Catherine lifted the weeds on the water’s surface and pulled up the basket that had already been buried. By this time, water was splashing everywhere and the sound of fish struggling

came.

Audrey, standing on the shore, was stunned!

Except for her, the audience in front of the screen, the program crew, and everyone present were shocked after seeing this scene!

“Oh my god!”

“What the hell is this?”

At this moment, a whole basket of fish was in Catherine’s hands, which even made them. suspect that they had misread it.

“How did she make it?”

“Why did this happen?” they all wondered.

Catherine walked ashore with a bamboo basket. She threw the bamboo basket at Audrey’s feet when she got to the shore.

The fish fell out of the bamboo basket.

The struggling fish slapped the ground frantically, bringing Audrey back to her senses. She looked up and stared at Catherine with widened eyes and an expression of horror and disbelief.

“Kathy, how the hell did you do it? How did you manage to catch so many fish?”

There were also many question marks in the comment area. Everyone was wondering how Catherine would do all this.

Chapter 100 Like a Boyfriend

The comments section was boiling. Countless viewers came forward and asked for the footage to be replayed. Some people even questioned Catherine’s behavior and claimed that the show. crew helped her cheat.

[The program team is too rampant. I didn’t expect them to cheat in the live broadcast!]

[Please tell us the truth, or we won’t watch this show!]

[We should boycott this disgusting show group!]

Even the program team, let alone these ordinary viewers, was very curious about this.

The director ordered them to change a scene and called up the public segment to play it at the audience’s request.

At the start of the game just now, everyone focused on their idols and gave them likes like crazy. There were not many people in Audrey’s broadcast room at first.

The few subscribers were watching Audrey fishing in the water. Almost no one paid attention. to Catherine.

The playback showed Catherine sitting under the tree resting, but her hands never stopped. She was picking long strips of leaves from the river and weaving them into a green net.

At first, everyone felt that Catherine was just bored and would do such boring things to pass. the time.

After weaving the net, she walked towards the river with a bamboo basket specially used for catching fish.

Catherine walked to a recess in the lower part of the river. The water temperature here was the lowest. She fixed the bamboo basket in the water with stones. She fixed a net made of green leaves above the water. Then, she turned and left.

After watching the replay, many viewers were still confused.

They asked questions in the comment area.

[What is she doing? Can anyone explain this to me? I am too ignorant!]

[I don’t understand.]

[Is it the summoning magic?]

[Have you read too many fantasy novels? As a traveler with many years of experience in field exploration, let me explain this girl’s behavior. This is a model of teaching videos about

survival in the wild!]

1/4

When the audience saw someone who knew about it appear, they immediately asked the unknown netizen for an explanation.

[It’s actually really simple. She made a trap for catching fish. Upstream, there are several groups of people fishing like crazy. Those fish are not stupid and keep moving downstream. Fish like shade and quiet places. She just created such a suitable environment for the fish, so the fish will naturally swim into her net foolishly. The principle is so simple, but her technique is amazing!]

The other three groups had been busy for so long but had caught less than half of the fish in Catherine’s bamboo basket.

The point was, after the traveler explained, everyone knew that the other three groups had become Catherine’s helper in fishing.

If they hadn’t disturbed the fish upstream, Catherine’s traps downstream would not have

worked.

When the four groups went into the water to catch fish, for convenience, the cameraman only photographed the person who caught the fish personally, so the audience could not see what happened outside the screen.

If the other three groups knew they were helping their opponents, they would probably go

crazy.

Audrey packed up all the fish Catherine had caught and tried to lift them up, but she suddenly felt dizzy. She tried all her strength but couldn’t pull the bamboo basket up.

The basket was made of bamboo, so its edges were not smooth. Her hand was cut, and the blood kept oozing out.

Audrey took a deep breath in pain and subconsciously complained to Catherine.

“Kathy, how many fish are there? Why is it so heavy? I can’t lift it.”

She just wanted to complain instead of asking Catherine to do anything.

However, Catherine walked up to her, picked up the bamboo basket with one hand, and walked

forward.

Audrey was at a loss. She had just used up all her strength, but she couldn’t shake the bamboo basket full of fish. But Catherine could lift it with one hand and walk forward with it like a

strong man.

Looking at Catherine’s unrestrained back, Audrey couldn’t help but admire her.

Her sister was like a boyfriend. If her sister were a boy and not related to her by blood, she would definitely woo her sister.

Moreover, she would kill all her “rivals in love.”

Audrey was not the only one who had this idea. Catherine’s decisiveness attracted many viewers in front of the screen.

They all expressed their admiration for Catherine.

Catherine carried the bamboo basket to the statistics place of the program group and poured the fish into the basin. Her movements were neat and unrestrained without any sloppiness.

Afterward, she casually threw the bamboo basket, walked away, and leaned against a nearby. tree again to enjoy the shade.

Audrey followed her immediately. Seeing that Catherine didn’t care about those fish, Audrey didn’t pay attention to them either.

With so many fish, she was not afraid that she would be in the last place.

Audrey would feel extremely lucky if she didn’t end up in the last place or take a penalty. She borrowed a small fan from the staff and came to Catherine with a pink thermos in her hand.

Audrey fanned Catherine and handed her the thermos. “Kathy, here’s the sour plum soup I took out of the fridge before I left this morning. It should still be cold by now. Have some.”

She poured some into a small cup. The sweet and sour smell of sour plum soup, with the cool air, immediately flew out of the cup. Even Catherine was attracted by it.

Audrey gave the cup to Catherine and looked at her warmly. “Kathy, this is for you. You must drink it.’

Glancing at the sour plum soup, Catherine thought of the picture of Audrey frantically reducing the weight of her luggage before going out.

Every time she threw away something, she was reluctant, as if she was throwing away her life. However, she had never touched those cute colored thermoses in her bag.

At first, she thought it was something special for Audrey, but it was really for her.

Catherine gave Audrey a puzzled look. There was a sweet smile, which was as warm as the sun, on her face that was somewhat similar to Catherine’s.

It was as if sunlight had suddenly entered the darkness and brought her light.

Seeing that she wasn’t drinking, Audrey couldn’t help but urge, “Drink it now. If it’s not cold, it won’t taste good.”

Catherine stared at her intently as she gradually came to her senses. She tightened her lips and drank all the plum juice in the glass.

It was not that cold anymore, so it was somewhat cloyingly sweet.

“How is it? Is it good?” Audrey looked at her expectantly and waited for her answer.

Catherine nodded slightly, with the coldness in her star-like eyes dissipating a little.

She responded in a low and flat tone, “It’s delicious!”
