Chapter 310
“Gaines, I didn’t do anything. We were just betting whether Astrid would take a tumble while filming.
After all, filming action scenes is a different ball game, it’s normal to fall,”
Aikin couldn’t understand Gaines‘ preference for Astrid, so he continued to say, “Besides, this time,
Astrid’s assistant voluntarily signed the bet with us. No one forced her.”
“If you overprotect Astrid, it might cause dissatisfaction among everyone. It’s just a little bet. We don’t
have any recreational activity to do in this freezing winter, and this bet could be a good distraction.”
Just as Aikin finished, the director’s face turned serious.
Seeing this, Astrid suddenly said, “Gaines, it doesn’t matter, I will definitely win. I’ve had a few horse
riding lessons before. My coach said I’m a natural because I can stay on the horse for several rounds!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo I can definitely win!”
Hearing this, Aikin snickered inwardly.
Just a few riding lessons? Being called a prodigy just because you can stay on a horse? How stupid.
He was sure he would win this bet.
As Aikin was about to leave, he turned around and said, “Since you’re a prodigy, I guess you wouldn’t
mind our little bet. How about we make it more interesting?”
Astrid smiled faintly, thinking the original bet was too boring.
To bait Aikin, Astrid arrogantly said, “I’m not afraid of any challenge, what do you want to bet?”
“If I lose, all of us in the bet will have to run around the set shirtless, yelling ‘I’m a trash!“,”
Aikin raised his eyebrows, looking extremely pleased, “But if you and Gracie lose, You shall also
receive the same punishment!”
Astrid didn’t expect Aikin to propose such a bet, so she asked, “Are you sure?”
Aikin replied, “I’m sure. Dare to take the bet?”
Astrid lifted her chin and said, “How could I be afraid! And I will never lose!”
“You are the one who changed the punishment. What if the others don’t accept it? You can go find
them and make a record as evidence. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys running shirtless in the
snow.”
“We don’t know who will end up running shirtless yet!” Aikin was unsure where Astrid got the courage
to accept his bet, but he had been annoyed by Gaines‘ favoritism towards Astrid for a while and he
wouldn’t miss a chance to embarrass her.
Aikin managed to get everyone’s agreement to change the punishment and even recorded it. The bet
was officially on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGaines was still worried, but this was Astrid’s decision, so he couldn’t interfere.
Astrid couldn’t bet with Aikin during filming, so she got Gaines to referee during her break.
Due to a previous incident where an actor fell off a horse and got injured, Gaines replaced the horses
with fake ones and even padded the ground.
The performance in the afternoon attracted a large audience, and most were there to see Astrid fail.
Some people don’t want Astrid’s acting career go smoothly, so they always look forward to her making
mistakes.
Iris saw Aikin coming over, quickly pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice, “Are you sure about
this? What if you lose?”
“Don’t worry, Astrid’s a dunce. Didn’t you see how stupid she is? Have you contacted the reporters?”
Aikin asked. “Yep.” Iris nodded, “I’ve contacted several entertainment reporters. They’re all waiting for
Astrid to mess up!”
