Chapter 94


    The setup was pretty simple, just a table with scissors on it and the balloon in Astrid’s hand.


    Astrid was wearing an off-shoulder dress today; her arms were fully exposed, making her movements


    clearly visible.


    Everyone was watching her hands intently, then saw her pinching the deted balloon with two fingers,


    and said to the audience, “If you guys don’t believe that this is a normal balloon, you cane up and


    check it out.”


    “I’ll do it!” A male actor from the front row came up, examined the balloon, and then said,


    can confirm this is a regr balloon.”


    Astrid nodded, turned to Fannie, who was sitting not far away, and asked with a smile, “Ms. Santos,


    would you like to take a look?”


    Fannie, clueless about what Astrid was up to, just shook her head, “I trust you.”


    Astrid said, “That’s good; I hope you won’t think I’m cheating.” With that, she went back behind the


    magic table, picked up the scissors on the table, and started to cut the balloon, quickly puncturing it.


    Everyone was puzzled by what she was doing.


    Then, Astrid crumpled the broken balloon into a ball, held it in her hand, and slowly walked up to a child


    star in the front row, whispering, “Sweetie, if you blow a breath at it, it will turn into a beautiful flower.”


    Upon hearing that, the little girl obediently blew a breath.


    Astrid said, “Wow, look honey, the flower has bloomed.” She then opened her folded hands, and a rose


    was in her palm, even with some dew drops on the petals.


    Elio’s tightly furrowed brow rxed at that moment, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.


    How much talent does this girl have?


    The little girl, surprised, took the rose that Astrid handed her and jumped into her mother’s arms with


    joy, her sweetughter echoing.


    The audience was stunned, the camera was still focused on Astrid’s hand. They watched the whole


    process on the big screen and didn’t see any ws.


    And Astrid was wearing a dress, with nowhere to hide anything. Where did this rosee from? Was it


    a real one?


    “You’re amazing!”


    “I love you!”


    “I want to have your babies!” Orion’s loud shout from the audience brought everyone back to reality,


    and they started to apud.


    Elio’s face instantly changed when he heard Orion say he wanted to have Astrid’s babies.


    “That was amazing; I was sitting right across from her, and I really thought that flower grew out of her


    hand.”


    “Some magicians are easily exposed up close, but I’ve been watching her and didn’t see anything.”


    “I really admire her, really!”


    “She could have relied on her looks to seed, but she chose to rely on her talent!”


    “I’m nning a movie about magic; I want to invite her to audition! I have a new candidate for my lead


    actress!”


    Fannie shook with anger as she listened to people sing her praises.


    This was not what she nned; she wanted Astrid to make a fool of herself!


    Why did Astrid suddenly perform so well?!


    Several directors and producers nearby noticed Astrid; they were all discussing coborating with her!


    Especially that big-budget movie about magic, it was originally hers!!!

    Joana once said that Astrid was a good actress; if Astrid went to audition, wouldn’t her role be


    reced???


    Thinking about this, Fannie almost fainted.


    Astrid returned to the stage and slowly picked up the microphone. “Actually, I owe this performance


    opportunity to Miss Fannie. Without Miss Santos’s rmendation, I wouldn’t have had the chance to


    showcase my talent in front of you all. Miss Fannie is really a good person…”
