Reading Juicy Gossip in Her Mind
Chapter 131 One Misfortune After Another
Finished
With the unexpected turn of events during the live broadcast, expressions of astonishment filled the live
comments.
One comment read: ‘hat’s going on! I was waiting for Team Noble to perform, instead, Team A–list outshined them with their stage play. After all, no matter how you look at it, their theme of confidant seems hypocrisy.
Another comment read: Is Mr. Gonzales unwell? Is it even real? Isn’t it too much of a coincidence? Is this a plot against Team A–list?
A netizen commented: I hope they weren’t thinking that we wouldn’t call them out on their plot inconsistencies just because they were later in the lineup.
Another netizen commented: Indeed, the problematic artists were all afraid of Team A–list that they all fled before the battle even started.
One person wrote: Perhaps the minx got scared of getting canceled by the entire internet, so she lost her nerve to face it all and sought the help of the ever–obliging Mr. Gonzales to make excuses on her behalf.
Another person wrote: They should go on stage whether they’re scared or not! Otherwise, what are They going to do during the later part of the show, sit around and chat?
One comment read: Let’s just sit back and see what kind of trouble Team Noble is going to stir up.”
Another comment read: Whatever! Let’s watch Team A–list’s performance first. I’m curious about the kind of spectacle they’ll put on this time.
A commenter wrote: Beauty is the cause of all disasters, the theme itself sounds trifling. I bet it’s going to harshly criticize those wicked women who use their bodies to climb the social ladder and harm others!
Meanwhile, the scene on Twitter was quite different due to the delay.
A short skit suddenly landed on the trending list with the title “Confidant“, but Team Noble hadn’t started. their performance, so the topic didn’t create much of a buzz beyond having the same keywords.
Netizens were always rebellious in a way. Subtle manipulation of public opinion often succeeded easily, but when the haters were too obvious and just mindlessly hated for no reason, it could be off–putting to the rest of the public. Instead, some would realize it was a mindless hate train and start viewing the situation from a fairer perspective.
Even more amusing was the band of wives collectively posted the same Tweet on Twitter as the video had trended.
The Tweet read: Only those who earn their roles through talent deserve respect. Those who use dishonest. means should leave the entertainment industry! You’re not welcome here!
Although they didn’t specifically tag anyone, they had ance blacklisted someone. That was a fact well- known to all. Hence, their target was quite apparent.
If Team Noble had been performing, their post would’ve been quite timely. Netizens itched to see them stir up some drama and even resort to fights, all for the sake of their own entertainment.
However, they had posted it even before anyone had performed, leading to an indescribable sense of

The band of wives was rather bewildered as well. The normally haughty group wouldn’t take tweeting a post seriously. Someone probably mentioned it in the group chat, and everyone casually posted about it
on Twitter.
Yet, after posting it, all the comments were mockery from the netizens, suggesting they should watch the live stream before posting, for they had posted at the wrong time.
Bewildered, they immediately searched for Ruth in the group chat.
However, whether it was the video or the comments on Twitter, they couldn’t be deleted since netizens likely already took screenshots. Thus, they could only wait for Team Noble’s performance for it to come
into effect.
Ruth was also quite flustered but was more worried about Gordon’s situation. She quickly called Simon. Even though she couldn’t be there in person, she asked Simon to keep a close watch on them.
“I’m not entirely sure myself, Uncle Gordon mentioned he wasn’t feeling well but refused to be taken to the hospital. He’s just resting backstage for now, and I suspect he’ll return to the stage once he has gotten enough rest. All I can do now is wait for updates. However, Rebecca seems quite anxious. Even though. we’ve already rearranged the performance lineup, she’s still reaching out to people to step in urgently.”
“What? That selfish b*tch! My husband is in such a state, yet all she cares about is her performance. She refused to wait for Gordon to recover and was already searching for a substitute. She’s really heartless on the surface and completely immoral inside!”
Although Ruth was hospitalized due to how ruthless her husband was, her first reaction was still to worry about him when he ran into trouble. She couldn’t bear to see him being discarded after falling ill.
“That’s not necessary. I eavesdropped two phone calls, and neither wanted to help her. It’s not just about her negative scandal, but who would dare to perform on short notice without any preparation? There’s a risk of losing their moral integrity at an old age. She’s the only one still having a pipedream, thinking she can find someone to replace Uncle Gordon on stage.”
On the other end, Simon didn’t quite see it that way. Although he wasn’t sure what had happened, he was dubious about his uncle’s health taking a sudden turn.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, he saw a pale–faced Rebecca approaching him. She looked fragile and helpless as if lost. “Can you… stand in for your uncle? You should know the plot. Don’t worry, even if you don’t remember everything, it’s okay. I’ll find a way to fill in the gaps. I—”
“IfTwere to step in for my uncle, how do you plan on repaying me?” Simon suddenly laughed, his gaze scanning her up and down. “You did give me quite a beating last time, and now you’re hoping I’d help
you?”
Rebecca’s expression grew darker. Once when their rehearsal ran late, Simon had made a move on her, but she beat him up as a lesson.
Simon looked at Rebecca’s face, which exuded a certain vulnerability as if needing a man’s protection. Hmph! She’s seducing me again.
Unable to contain his urges, his eyes flickered for a moment before he leaned into Rebecca’s ear and whispered, “I can help you… Come with me to the restroom, and if you take care of me well…”
