Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173

Astrid watched the pathetic performance of the two, snickering under her breath.

The live audience immediately started mocking Astrid.

“What’s this joke? Got a PhD at 22?”

“Wait, I remember Astrid trending before, people were saying she only has a high school education, she never went to college!”

“Oh my god, Astrid faked her education? That’s just low.”

“Well, maybe she’s just that brilliant/She answered all those tough questions, and I can’t even understand them!”

“Really, even if you want to brag, you have to limit it a bit. Getting a Ph.D. at the age of 22 is too exaggerated! Who would believe it?”

The murmurs of the crowd grew louder, forcing the director to halt filming.”

He’d been in this industry for so many years, of course he could see that this was a conspiracy jointly carried out by Helena and Israel. Helena’s goal was to get the live audience to expose Astrid’s fake education on the internet. Now that her plan had succeeded, she was satisfied.

The director called over Israel and demanded, “What is going on? What are you playing at?”

Israel put on an innocent face and said, “Director, Astrid’s bio says she’s a PhD graduate from the Endeavor Institute of the States. I didn’t do anything.”

The director angrily replied, “Don’t you know that people can fake–those bios? What are you talking about?”

“She didn’t deny it herself.” Israel pointed at Astrid on stage, who indeed looked expressionless.

Without further delay, filming resumed.

By now, rumors of Astrid’s fake education had started spreading.

Before the filming had even ended, the issue was trending.

The situation escalated, and by the time filming ended, the internet was filled with insults.

“Why is this woman always trending when she has no work?”

“She must be uneducated to tell such a lie, right? A PhD graduate from the Endeavor Institute of the States? No way.”

“That’s just shameless.”

“I was her high school classmate. She was a chronic truant, she never went to college!!!”

Elio asked Carson to handle the online comments, but Carson said Dale was already on it and told him not to worry.

After the show, Astrid had to rush back to the drama set. So she and Clyde headed straight to the airport.
