Chapter 126
When Astrid first woke up, she was still all jet–lagged and felt a bit disoriented.
It took her a while to snap out of it, and then she suddenly remembered, today she was supposed to be
on a variety show.
It was her first time on a variety show!
With that thought, Astrid immediately sprung out of bed, rushed into the bathroom to get ready.
By the time she was all dolled up and went downstairs, Gracie Brooke was already waiting for her in
the car.
Her Pikachu–themed car was super eye–catching, you could spot it in an instant.

“Astrid, why are you so unreliable? I called you so many times and you didn’t pick up!” Gracie scolded
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhile driving, “If we are late, Dale will blame you.” Astrid pulled a face, “I’m not scared of Dale, I’ve got
you to back me up,”
“The schedule for today’s recording is on the backseat, have a look at it so you don’t get all flustered
later.” Even though Gracie had not been an assistant for long, she was already used to the job and was
super–efficient.
“Alright.” Astrid quickly skimmed through the documents, and within no time she had memorized the
entire schedule.
When she arrived at the TV station, she saw her fans waiting at the entrance.
She was a bit surprised, wondering if these were people her brothers had paid to show up?
But before she could figure it out, the group of girls started calling her name, “Astrid! Astrid! Look over
here~”
Astrid waved at them with a smile, “Hello~”
You look so beautiful when you smile! Keep it up, don’t let the negative comments online get to you,
we’ll always support you!” After the girl finished speaking, Astrid felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She really hadn’t expected fans to show up, especially since she didn’t have any work out yet.
The recording was about to start, so Astrid didn’t linger. She bid her fans goodbye and quickly walked
into the TV station.
Thinking of the young fans who had waited for hours under the scorching sun just to get a glimpse of
her, she made up her mind to become better, as a way to repay their love.
When she arrived at the dressing room, there were still thirty minutes left before the recording began.
She hadn’t been late, and thanks to her good base, she just needed some light makeup which didn’t
take long. After changing her clothes, she still had ten minutes left.
The Illusionist’s Realm was a magic–themed competition show, where the audience voted after each
performance, with two celebrity observers invited for each episode.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis episode’s observers were Astrid and Susana.
Even though Susana had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, she wasn’t very popular.
Still, she had amassed a few fans.
Seeing that Astrid had only just arrived backstage, Susana immediately started to mock, “Oh wow,
making all these people wait and you’re not even famous, you really think you’re something, huh?”
“Well, she was publicly praised by Locke as a master magician, so it’s not completely unreasonable for
her to act like this.” A woman whispered.
Upon hearing this, Susana laughed, “Master magician? Her magic tricks are nothing more than child’s
play! Locke probably only said she was good because she’s attractive, I bet you anything, Locke is her
accomplice!”
“After all, in today’s society, some pretty girls are willing to do anything for fame!”
Susana’s voice was loud, she didn’t care if others heard her.
She wasn’t worried about Astrid hearing her at all.
And the rest of the performers chose to stand by and watch, no one stood up to defend Astrid.
