The show was live!
What Andy Lee said and did was immediately aired.
“What the hell? Turn off that camera!”
Aaron, the director of the show, immediately switched the image to the other camera when he saw this and told the host through the earphone, “Say something! What the hell is going on with Andy Lee? Tonight’s show has brought our ratings to a historical high! We’ve had over a million hits in 20 minutes! We can’t afford any bloopers! 2.63 million people are watching us now!”
Listening to his instruction, Rachel soon formed a plan.
“I’m sorry, everyone, but I’ve just received news that Mr. Lee is suffering from severe psychosis, and he sometimes rambles and can’t control his movements. When he has one of his episodes, he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He has just had one of his fits during the show, and we had to take him backstage for his treatment!
“We’ll contact Miss Stella Shane, the interested party, next and hear her talk more about her secret past. It is quite late now, I hope she’s not asleep. I apologize for the inconvenience.”
The audience wasn’t easily fooled, though. Andy Lee’s sudden outburst gave them a bad feeling.
They wondered if Andy had been threatened as well.
Could the president of IF Security have so much power?
Yes, they were a big company, but they shouldn’t be able to shake the entire entertainment industry!
Making Gary Mat post that apology letter was beyond Caroline Soan’s influence.
Andy Lee had gained his fame a long time ago. Although his popularity had declined, he still had many powerful friends in the industry. These people were all bigshots, and no one should be able to threaten him.
“What’s wrong with Andy? Has he gone insane?” Maria covered her mic and whispered to Ivy.
Ivy took off her earphone and whispered back, “Ignore him. Boss will take care of him later.”
Meanwhile, the image of a phone lit up on the screen behind the host of the show.
In the studio, Stella, Luke, and Luna were all looking at the phone. It was an incoming video call.
Should they pick it up or not?
“Pick it up, Stella! Over 2.6 million viewers are watching this show It’s live!” said Luke.
Luna also encouraged her, “The tide is turning. Stella, we’re counting on you!”
Stella gave it some thought. She then messed up her hair and put on a miserable look before picking up the phone.
Her face appeared on the screen in the studio. With her unkempt hair and lackluster eyes, she made people feel sorry for her.
“Hello, Miss Shane. I’m sorry for bothering you at such a late hour. We thought you were asleep.”
Stella shook her head. “I wasn’t. I couldn’t sleep.”
Rachel said, ” Miss Shane, can you tell us a bit more about what your foster father did to you? I know that you and Miss Ivy Larson are good friends. She has told us some of the things earlier. Did you watch our show?”
Stella said, “I did.”
“Will you confirm what Miss Larson said?”
