Chapter 205
Well, ain’t this a fine mess? My plan is going down the drain then, isn’t it?
Ugh, I should’ve just played along and pretended to be hypnotized.
This villain was such a weakling. How can he actually need me to play along?!
What a pain in the neck!
Just then, Laws came out of the kitchen with a wide grin on his face and a couple of cups of coffee in
his hands.
He casually sat down, slid the cup of coffee in front of Astrid, and said, “Astrid, I heard you’re a
magician, and I actually dig magic too. I learned a trick and wanted to get your advice.”
Astrid knew Laws was fibbing, so she played along, “I wouldn’t dare to advise you, but we can think of NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
it as a magic exchange.”
“Great, great.” Due to the earlier incident, Laws was a bit flustered when he saw Astrid. He pulled out a
mirror, “Astrid, you’ve gotta keep your eyes on this mirror. See if you can spot any flaws.”
A mirror? Such an antiquated method.
Astrid was really ticked off, but she still played along and stared at the mirror..
After a while, she figured it was about time.
Astrid then put on a spaced–out look and pretended to zone out.
Laws thought she was hypnotized and regained his confidence when he saw her like that.
He gave Fannie a nod, and she carefully approached and sat next to Astrid.
“Astrid, I heard from Fannie that you guys were buddies in high school. She even told me about some
things you guys experienced together, like your grades or love life, remember?” Laws couldn’t directly
state his intentions, or it would raise suspicion. He had to steer Astrid in that direction bit by bit.
Astrid got what Laws was up to, so she went along with his words, “Our high school life was pretty dull,
but I remember always being top of the class at the end of each term, while Fannie was always at the
bottom.”
Fannie was totally flustered upon hearing this.
The part about her always being at the bottom was true, but she always portrayed herself as a hard
worker and never brought up her high school grades after entering the entertainment industry. She
didn’t think Astrid would bring up her being at the bottom.
They had so many high school classmates, and the media could easily find out that Astrid was telling
the truth. As this was a live broadcast, she couldn’t deny it.
Fannie forced a smile, which looked worse than crying, “Yeah, I used to. Well, I wasn’t very good at
school.”
Seeing this, the comment section suddenly blew up, “What? She was always at the bottom in high
school. How did Fannie get into film school?”
“I remember Fannie once mocking an actress, saying that she was poor at school. What right does she
have to say that when she was at the bottom of her class?”
“But isn’t it a low blow for Astrid to bring this up on a live broadcast?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Wasn’t it Fannie’s family who brought up this topic first? How did it suddenly
become Astrid’s fault?”
Fannie was already very embarrassed, but she didn’t realize this was just the beginning. Next, Astrid
started to reveal her past.
“As her family, you should’ve taught Fannie better. She loved to drink in high school; I couldn’t even
keep up with her.”
“Oh, and she was punished for cheating in the final exam.” Astrid continued.
Fannie was shocked and at a loss for words!
