Gossip Girl Reborn



Chapter 97 Gossip Situation

In the waiting area, including Isabella and Christopher, there were two more groups of guests left. Everyone, full of boredom, was watching the large screen in front of them.

The trio's performance wasn't poor; the plot was just too clichéd. Even without their acting, one could predict the next part of the plot.

The celestial lord, portrayed by Maverick, fell in love with a mortal lady, played by Mirabelle, across the span of many trials and tribulations. The mortal lady then saved the injured demon lord, depicted by Hendrick.

The three of them played out various dramas in the mortal realm. It wasn't until the end of their trials that the celestial lord's true identity was revealed, and he was required to return to the celestial realm.

Not only did the live audience find the story dull, but the number of people online in the live stream also gradually decreased.

The barrage of comments was not as exaggerated as when the broadcast first started. Only when the stage play initially started that there was a momentary explosion of comments, and a flood of questions descended.

Although the fans who supported Hendrick and Maverick were getting along well at that moment, a sense of competition still lingered between them.

One of them excelled at medieval fantasy, while the other at campus teen drama. Since both were working together, one couldn't be favored over the other.

Moreover, Maverick participated in the show for a change in his image. With such an ideal platform, coupled with various professional support, the fans thought their beloved idol would deliver something unique and showcase his talent.

In the end, the stage play was still a medieval fantasy.

Meanwhile, Hendrick's fans were not having it anymore.

One typed: Isn't this just making my idol a supporting character?

Then, they began to target Maverick's fans.

Maverick's fans were also quite frustrated. After all, Maverick had starred in no less than five medieval fantasies, all with similar character settings. They had enough of that and craved to see more different sides to Maverick's performance.

While they couldn't understand why Maverick picked medieval fantasy, they were still on the lookout for their idol and turned public opinion about him positive.

A netizen commented: The live competition is only in the first round. What's the rush? Perhaps it's just a way for them to polish their understanding of each other."

Another added: We haven't even mentioned your idol dragging others down.

Someone wrote: Also, your idol has never acted in medieval fantasy before. This is a perfect opportunity for him to showcase his talent. It's a good thing for you lot, so don't feign innocence after gaining an advantage!"

In short, there were hardly any discussions about the plot in the barrage of comments.

Even Taylor and Riley could only shake their heads in regret. "I've no idea why they chose this script. It's not interesting at all. I think this part is done for."Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

As they were speaking, a sudden cry arose from below the stage. The two of them immediately looked over, stunned by what they saw.

The guests in the waiting area were also watching with wide eyes.

The barrage of comments reached a new peak, and the screen was filled with expressions of astonishment.

Before the celestial lord was about to leave, he finally confronted his love. However, the mortal lady, aware that she was unworthy of the celestial lord, pretended to be with the demon lord.

Mirabelle found herself enveloped in Hendrick's arms. In front of Maverick, Hendrick planted a kiss on her, a display of ownership. However, Maverick didn't stand for it. He forcibly pulled Mirabelle out of Hendrick's hold, embraced her, and began to kiss her assertively.

Due to the angle, it was clear to everyone that it wasn't a forced perspective.

The two really kissed!

Even though they were acting, and a kissing scene wasn't a big deal, it might not be necessary for a stage play.

Moreover, Maverick had the audacity to passionately kiss Mirabelle right in front of her boyfriend.

The audience wondered if that was something they could watch.

Compared to the play, the spectators were more intrigued by what was going on behind the

scenes.

No one could resist the allure of gossip, after all.

The actors from the other two groups in the waiting area wore mocking expressions. They simply assumed that the actors on stage were trying to stir up controversy to steal the limelight.

However, such shameless behavior was typically only done by D-list noobs desperate for the spotlight. For celebrities of their caliber, that was not a wise move, as it could easily provoke a backlash from their fans.

I initially thought they had eliminated all such plotlines, but surprisingly, as soon as Danielle stopped caring, those plotlines were immediately reinstated, thought Isabella.

Christopher did feel that the trio on stage might be psychologically preparing their fans for a relationship change in the future.

Isabella observed the expressions of the three people, feeling that Hendrick was the only one who almost broke character.

After all, he should have been furious, but there was a surprising glint of excitement on his face. Indeed, Crazy Hendrick was a fitting title for him.

The comments section was in utter chaos, with all sorts of remarks flying around. However, it was mainly filled with fans comforting themselves and seeking solace.

The performance went on.

The two who had regained their identities naturally fought over the mortal lady. All the stage effects were utilized to their fullest, striving to create the impression of a grand battle.

The surrounding prop buildings collapsed as the earth trembled and shook.

In the end, the mortal lady was taken away by the demon lord, while the celestial lord, severely wounded, returned to the celestial realm.

After tending to his injuries, the celestial lord intended to seek out the mortal lady. However, he was stopped by the celestials. They believed that the celestial lord shouldn't pursue a woman entangled with the demon lord. One of the fairies even stepped forward, suggesting that the celestial lord should sever his emotional ties with the mortal lady and forget her. Then, she proceeded to list a myriad of reasons why he should do so for the greater good of the world.

At that moment, negotiations were underway between the celestial and demonic realms. The demon lord boldly brought a mortal lady into the celestial realm.

Everyone watched as the celestial lord and the mortal lady stared at each other from afar as if a thousand unspoken words were shared between them.

At that point, the live comments finally had some speculations about the plot.

One typed: Am I the only one who thinks that if this mortal lady can be with the demon lord, then why can't she be with the celestial lord?

Another added: Perhaps she was compelled to stay by the demon lord's side.

Someone lamented: After such a long detour...

A netizen remarked: Am I the only one who noticed something off about that fairy? When she spoke about severing emotional ties, she was clearly trying to make the celestial lord fall out of love with the mortal lady. It's obvious she's after the celestial lord.

One agreed: That must be it. She used righteousness to pressure the celestial lord, clearly aiming to take over. She must be the villainous second female lead.

The spectators didn't have much of a reaction. After all, it was a typical storyline.

However, those who had witnessed Team A-list rehearsing knew for a fact that the fairy storyline wasn't part of the original script.

Furthermore, upon careful thought, the answer to that mystery seemed fairly obvious.

Isabella frowned. How shameless. Maverick previously claimed that they wouldn't use Danielle, but in reality, they had already set a trap. On the surface, it seems like a standard plotline, but in reality, the three of them were insinuating that in their relationship, Danielle was just like this fairy. Surely that's not the case. Maverick couldn't possibly believe that such a roundabout approach wouldn't count as using Danielle to clear his name. How could he have the audacity to ask Danielle for help earlier? I'm truly astounded by his shamelessness.

Hearing her thoughts, Christopher sneered in his mind. They understand the power of netizens' imagination. They know that once things blow up, netizens will wonder the whys and hows. Then, once they recall the stage play, it will serve as 'evidence' to validate their imaginations. After that, the ensuing controversy will be ruthlessly shifted onto Danielle.

The three Quirk family members in the audience had heard all the gossip before. Thus, when they heard the people around them discussing the fairy who might become the villainous second female lead, they also caught on to what was happening.

As they picked up on everyone else's natural line of thinking, they felt a chill ran through them.

Backstage, Danielle stared at the large screen, scowling intensely. There was a flicker of

disbelief in her eyes. Clearly, as smart as she was, she had begun to understand some things,

and suddenly, her heart turned cold.

Rosalle, Hayden, and Thalla had a hushed discussion for a while.

Hayden stepped forward and patted Danielle's shoulder directly.

Danielle was taken aback. All she saw was Hayden silently handing over a business card.

That was a business card custom-made by Christopher using his identity as the agency owner.

"What do you mean?" Danielle was taken aback.

Hayden sald, "Given your knack for staying Informed, you must have heard about me and Christopher planning to expand overseas. Therefore, we're in need of a professional agent for

our agency."

Danielle's expression subtly shifted. She hadn't even begun to contemplate her future, and yet, someone had already extended a recruitment offer to her.

Danielle was not one to agree hastily, given how meticulous she was. She only furrowed her

brows in deep thought.

Hayden sald with a smile, "No rush. I'm just expressing our interest. We'll get in touch with you

later."

After saying that, he continued watching the stage play.
