Chapter 42 She Was That Confident
When Simone noticed everyone’s shocked expressions, she awkwardly asked, “Why are you all
looking at me like that?”
Zac approached her and inquired, “Can you y all these instruments?”
She nodded. “Yes, I have learned to y them all.”
Before crossing over to the other universes, Simone used to take fiddle sses. As a result, she was
quite familiar with the several instruments before her and knew how to y them.
Zac’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her. “You’re amazing, Simone.”
Simone smiled. “Thank you for thepliment!”
Meanwhile, the elder was shocked but grinned as he beckoned–Simone over: “Come here, youngdy.
I’ll give you a score. Try ying these instruments.”
Simone nodded. “Sure!”
The elder took out several music scores from the cab and opened one, pointing to a page. “Use the
fiddle to y this piece.”
Simone carefully examined the score, then took the fiddle from the elder and began ying. Soon, a
lively and cheerful fiddle piece filled the air.
The elder smiled in satisfaction. “You’re quite skilled at ying the fiddle.”
Next, the elder asked Simone to try the drums, dulcimer, and trumpet.
Simone remained confident and calm as she yed each of the scores given to her by the elder. Once
she finished, the elder’s smile grew even wider. “Very good. I’m confident that you can handle ying
the soundtracks. There’s no need to look for anyone else.”
Smiling, Simone murmured, “Sure. I’ll take care of the soundtracks.”
Jonah smiled slightly. “Miss Gray, you’ve made things very easy for our crew.”
Meanwhile, Keira and Eric couldn’t help but admire Simone. Although they didn’t know how to y
these instruments, they could hear how well she had yed the pieces.
Keira asked, “Simone, do you y any other instruments besides these?”
“I know a few others,” Simone replied. Keira then asked, “For example? Can you list a few?”
Simone answered, “I can y the harp, banjo, flute, r, ocarina, piano, cello, guitar, saxophone,
and bass.”
Everyone on set fell silent as they suddenly had the urge to ask what she couldn’t y. It was simply
amazing.

Zac’s eyes filled with smiles. “You know how to y the guitar too? Why don’t we y a duet when we
get back?
Simone nodded. “Sure!”
Then, Keira pointed at the banjo on the cab. “Simone, I would like to hear you y the banjo. Can
you perform a piece for us?”
Simone also liked the banjo and had spent a long time practicing it when she was in a retro universe.
“No problem!”
She asked the elder if she could use the banjo. Not only did the elder not refuse her request, but he
even personally handed it to her. “I would like to hear you y the banjo too.”
The youngdy grew on him the more they interacted.
‘How could Simone know how to y so many instruments? She must be bluffing.
‘I think the show must be scripted. Simone is only acting ording to the script, otherwise, how could
she know so many instruments?”
‘She must have practiced the pieces she yed with those instruments in private.
“This show is too fake. This scene is obviously staged for us to watch.
‘Yet the crew dares to im they’re realistic. I’m going to report on this show.”
‘Don’t you think the crew is too biased toward Simone? Why does she get all the attention?”
‘I heard Simone previously saved the director’s wife, which is how she got on this show.”
‘Look at that. How could this rtionship not seem suspicious?”
‘I’m speechless. The director is hyping Simone and even nned a scripted scene for her. Does he
take us audiences for fools?‘
There were suddenly manyints and skepticalments on the screen.
The very first fewments that set the mood were from the paid trolls Titus hired. He nned to
make Aaron and Jodie seem like close siblings while also portraying Jodie as a lovable person,
creating aparison with Simone. However, none of that was sessful. Worse still, all of that failed
inparison to Simone.
In contrast, Jodie didn’t be as popr as they had hoped, and her reputation had even
plummeted. Titus felt suffocated because he couldn’t ept the fact that his n had failed. Therefore,
he hired paid trolls, hoping to make Simone look bad by iming that the crew was trying to hype her
poprity with a script.
This n could tarnish Simone’s image and help Jodie regain some of her reputation.
They could say that the crew intended to hype Simone’s poprity, thus suppressing Aaron and Jodie.
When Aaron and Leon’s fans saw the situation, they immediately followed the trend and began
Chapter 42 She Was That Confident
criticizing and scrutinizing Simone.

Although Simone’s fans tried to counter, they were no match for the paid trolls and fans of the other
three celebrities, so theirments were soon drowned out.
Upon seeing the sudden influx ofments, Jonah knew that someone had hired paid trolls to frame
Simone and the crew. He frowned, knowing that the situation would worsen if this continued. He would
admit it if this show was scripted, but it wasn’t, so he couldn’t let someone else frame him for it.
Currently, Simone held the banjo and asked, “Which song would you like me to y?”
Those words puzzled the crowd because they rarely had the chance to listen to a banjo piece, so they
didn’t know what to choose.
Keira suggested, “Why don’t you choose something yourself?”
Jonah raised his head and watched as Simone confidently asked everyone to choose what she should
y. That meant she knew a lot of banjo pieces.
Then, he scanned thements on the screen and contemted for a moment before asking Simone,
“Why don’t we let the livestream viewers choose what song they would like to hear?”
Such an interaction could liven the atmosphere and show that Simone was indeed skilled at ying the
banjo. More importantly, letting the audience choose a song could diminish their suspicions because it
meant the song chosen would be random and, therefore, prove that Simone had not practiced it in
advance.
Smiling, Simone stated, “Sure! Let’s have the audience choose. I’ll y the song if I know it.”
‘Wow! How can my wife be so talented?‘
‘Heavens, my wife knows how to y so many instruments!‘
‘Our darling spoils us so much. Did you hear what she said? She will y whatever song we choose.
‘Those who said this show is scripted and that she is only pretending to know how to y so many
instruments and can only y pieces the crew gave her, why don’t you guys choose a song?‘
‘Yes! If our darling can y whatever song they choose, it proves that this show is not scripted.’
‘I believe she knows how to y those instruments. The peoplementing are clearly trying to frame
and ruin her.’
‘There’s also the possibility that they are trolls hired to ruin her reputation, Jonah suggested.
Jonah revealed a satisfied grin as he read thements.
His n had indeed worked, but of course, it was based on the assumption that Simone was truly
talented and capable of ying the song the audience chose. However, he had faith in her abilities.
And so, he announced, “I have read thements and can guarantee that our show is not scripted.
Furthermore, I can assure you that we did not allow Simone to practice anything in advance. So, for
those of you who continue to scrutinize the crew and Simone, please make your selection. Simone will
Chapter 42 She Was That Confident
y it as long as she knows how to.”
Zac and the others also understood what was happening upon hearing that. At this moment, several
people in the live stream viewers were attempting to tarnish Simone’s image. That was uneptable.
Meanwhile, Simone wasn’t surprised by this and could guess that it was probably the doing of Sc*mbag
No. 2. The man had control issues and couldn’t tolerate things going out of his control and
arrangements. It was evident that her performance on this show had displeased him.
If the show was scripted and pre–rehearsed, it would make the audience suspicious. Simone smiled
slightly and said, “I never expected someone to question whether I’m acting ording to a script. But I
can assure you that I am not, so please do not falsely use the crew because you want to discredit
me. I am confident that I can y any song you choose, so for those of you who have questioned and
used me in thements section, select a song, and I will y it for you.”
Then, she added confidently, “Choose any song you want.”
She was that self–assured.
