Love in the Limelight Chapter 128

Chapter 128 

The comments in the live stream were flying by so fast, they nearly obscured the screen. 

“Wow, this girl is really pretty~” 

“I heard she’s performing a magic trick today? Can’t wait!” 

“But didn’t I hear that her last assistant was just a stooge? Apparently, she’d arranged it all with the charity event organizers beforehand, just to boost her fame with the magic trick.” 

“Hahaha.” 

“Anyone know who’s coming today? The international magician, Thomas, we’re about to see if Astrid is really up to scratch.” 

“Can’t believe this show could afford Thomas! I didn’t see that coming!” 

“I’m here to see someone’s lies exposed.” 

The comments were mostly friendly, but suddenly a group of people appeared, leading the conversation in a new direction. 

Before long, the comment section was filled with people waiting to see Astrid make a fool of herself. 

A good chunk of negative comments also started to pop up… 

It was obvious someone was pulling the strings. 

Meanwhile, Astrid had yet to perform, yet Twitter was already buzzing with news about her being exposed by the magic master Thomas. Chad had seen the messages but didn’t pay them any 

mind. 

The bigger the fuss, the more embarrassed those people would ultimately be. 

It seemed like one of his boss‘ secret identities was about to be revealed. 

Finally, it was time for the guest performance. The host excitedly announced, “Let’s welcome the internationally renowned magician–Thomas!” Hearing this, Astrid’s heart skipped a beat. What? 

There was no such person on the guest list! 

Just as the host finished speaking, a handsome man with flowing hair walked out gracefully. 

Thomas greeted the audience with a smile, “Hello, I’m Thomas~” 

He didn’t even wait for the host to introduce Astrid and turned his head towards the audience. 

Astrid gestured for someone to shut up, but he seemed not to hear… 

He charged towards Astrid, dropped on his knees in front of her, and shouted, “Teacher!” 

Astrid’s heart sank. 

It was over… 

This secret identity was completely exposed. 

Seeing Astrid’s helpless look, Elio slightly curled his lips. If she knew he’d known for a long time that she was the hacker whiz Aster, would she collapse. on the spot? 

Elio imagined her reaction and chuckled softly, his gaze on her even more doting. 

His girl was a real gem. 

The audience and the netizens watching the live stream were all dumbfounded. 

Thomas called her teacher? 

The host was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained control, “You’re quite the joker, how could Ms. Irvine be your teacher? If I’m not mistaken, your teacher is Astar, right? How could Astar possibly be a young woman?” 

On hearing this, Thomas shouted, “She is my teacher! Look, I even have a picture with her, for real!” 

With that, Thomas whipped out his phone and showed his screensaver to the camera. 

Sitting in the audience, Fannie couldn’t believe her eyes. She’d paid a hefty sum to bring Thomas here to take down Astrid, but now she found out that Astrid was Thomas’s teacher. 

Who was Astar? The winner of last year’s global magic competition! 

Astar had always kept herself well hidden, only showing a pair of hands. She never imagined Astar would be a woman, let alone Astrid! 

Netizens were also dumbstruck. They immediately looked up the video of last year’s global magic competition and found that the hands in the video were the same as Astrid’s! 

The mole on the side of Astar’s index finger was identical to the one on Astrid’s hand. 

The netizens who had been criticizing Astrid on the bullet screen were all silenced. 

They never expected that they’d been badmouthing the wrong person all along. 

They thought she was just pretending to be proficient in magic to win everyone’s attention. But they didn’t expect that she was a woman at the top, the world’s number one magician… 

#AstridIsMagicianAstar quickly trended. 

The heat was rising rapidly, and more and more details proving that Astrid was Astar were dug up. 

Like the same hat, shoes, and necklace, etc. 

Fannie was getting a taste of her own medicine. 

She went to many magicians, and they all said Astrid’s previous performance was simple and easy. 

And they also said there was no magician named Astrid in the magic community before, so she dared to spend money to invite Thomas! 

She wanted Thomas to confirm on the live broadcast that Astrid was a fraud, not a magician, so that Astrid would be ridiculed by the entire internet. That way, she could snatch back her leading role in the big movie! 

But who would have thought, Thomas knelt down to her right off the bat! 

And she, who spent the money, ended up pushing Astrid to the trending search. 

She was so mad she felt dizzy. She stood up to leave, but then she heard Astrid’s teasing voice from the stage, “Hey, Ms. Santos, isn’t it a bit rude to leave after doing a good deed?”
