Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 103 Appease The Audience
+5 Pearls
In the final act of the stage play, the goddess and the celestial lord were slain by Isabella. Their spirits were cast into the Cycle of Rebirth. However, this Cycle of Rebirth was not a literal one, but rather an illusion that could project the entirety of someone’s life.
Isabella made them experience the lives of all those they had killed, from full of hope to utter despair, and finally to death. After their memories as deities were restored, they were thrust into the next life. She wanted them to personally feel what they had truly brought to their believers.
Isabella, having stripped the divine power from the goddess, scattered it across the earth. This allowed the vengeful spirits who had died because of them to ascend to the afterlife sooner, restoring life and vitality to all things.
These powers originally stemmed from the faith of all beings in the three realms toward the heavens. Since the goddess had no intention of utilizing them properly, Isabella decided to do it on her behalf.
Isabella’s exit was a gradual fade into the dimming lights. It was as if countless vengeful spirits had finally found their peace and dispersed.
The resonant narration echoed once more.
“Are you worthy of others‘ faith and admiration? Are you ready for it?”
Once the performance concluded, everyone held their breath. The unconventional script had opened up a whole new world, unlike anything the audience had ever seen before.
The final question was indeed a wake–up call
The audience below the stage didn’t need any prompting from the event coordinator. They spontaneously cheered and applauded.
Among them, David, Selena, and Evian were all pleasantly surprised as they looked around. Filled with pride, they stood up together to cheer for Team A–list.
The director and producer were stunned as they watched the online buzz and soaring data metrics.
The theme of faith had been a topic they had pondered, considering all possible interpretations.
Unexpectedly, Team A–list ended the stage play with a rebuke.
Are you worthy of others‘ faith and admiration? Are you ready for it? Will you discipline yourself and lead by example in the future?
It isn’t just about granting you power. You also have to fulfill your responsibilities. Otherwise, what is your purpose?
Upon comparison, Team Duo Alpha, who held love and affection as their faith, seemed rather shallow.
Maybe a profound love that could be elevated to the status of faith does exist. However, the two stage plays were vastly different. Now, no one would dare assert that the love depicted by Team Duo Alpha possessed such depth.
Even the fans of Team Duo Alpha were now as quiet as if they didn’t exist.

On Twitter, there was no longer any praise for Team Duo Alpha’s stage play. Even when mentioned, it was only brought up as a point of harsh comparison.
The online debate was becoming increasingly heated. Even previous medieval fantasy dramas were brought into the discussion. Naturally, Maverick’s almost stereotypical roles became the main focus. Netizen: This is what happens when they don’t carefully choose their scripts and just try to appease the audience. Netizen: If they hadn’t chosen such a cliched script, they wouldn’t have ended up in the crosshairs of Team A–list. Netizen: Despite teasing a transformation on social media, Maverick ultimately played it safe during the show, sticking to his familiar roles. Surprisingly, his fans defended this decision, citing improved teamwork as the reason.
Netizen: Improved teamwork, my foot! Just look at Team A–list, and there’s Isabella, a newbie whose acting skills are as stiff as a board. How could they even have the guts to use such an excuse?
Netizen: Where are the fans of Team Duo Alpha? Come out and show yourselves. Weren’t you all so boastful before? Do you still believe that your idols‘ performances are touching?
In the end. Team Duo Alpha’s die–hard fan responded: I was just a poor choice of script. Do you know how hard he’s been working? We always believe that he’s striving for his future. It’s just that this time the outcome wasn’t great. We will always support him!
A second fan chimed in: Exactly! Hendrick’s girlfriend made a huge sacrifice too! It was all for a good performance. We can’t just dismiss all their efforts due to one small mistake.
Another wrote: It must be the agency’s fault. Why would they choose such a script? It’s like they’re plotting against him. The staff should step forward and give us an explanation.
Isabella and Christopher had descended the stage and were on their way back.
Isabella said with a smile, “It’s all right. We’re just like them, playing out a cliché storyline. How can they possibly blame us?”
This stirred their curiosity, making them unable to resist the urge to follow and sneak a peek backstage. They wondered if there would be a commotion when the two parties met.
It would be a real shame not to join in on such excitement.
Everyone harbored a penchant for gossip.
Backstage, the Quirks, who had used their connections to get in, were already discussing Isabella’s
They put so much effort into the play. They must be feeling quite awkward now. It’s a shame I couldn’t see their expressions firsthand in the waiting area.
