All Her Secrets

The plane landed. The production crew had arranged a bus to take the four families to the destination. This was where they would stay for two days and one night.

Since the show was streamed live, only three hours were reserved for the four families to complete missions where they competed against one another. The rest of the time was for them to stream whatever they wanted to.

After arriving at the destination, the production crew did not provide the families with food or help. The celebrities had to get everything by themselves.

The production crew had one clear and simple goal: to make life difficult for the celebrities!

The four families started drawing lots to see which accommodation they would stay in.

Audrey took the initiative to draw the first lot. Unfortunately, she picked the worst lot. It was a small bungalow. Her heart sank immediately. Afraid that Catherine would go crazy, she turned around carefully and peeked at her.

The viewers commented, “Did you guys see that minute expression of Audrey? She looks like me when my mother found out I did something wrong when I was young!”

“Interesting eye gesture.”

“Audrey’s makeup is so good! It hasn’t smudged after such a long time! I’m envious!”

Catherine glanced at the comments. Comments of all kinds were talking about Audrey’s expression.

She looked up toward Audrey and saw her returning to her.

With innocent blinking eyes, Audrey said, “Kathy, I got the worst house!”

Catherine didn’t say anything. She started walking while dragging her suitcase along.

The comment section exploded again upon seeing Catherine leave.

The viewers agreed unanimously that Catherine’s reaction was uncalled for, and she had a bad temper.

“This girl is way too arrogant. It was just the luck of the draw that they ended up with the worst house. That’s not Audrey’s fault.”

“I agree with the previous comment. Poor Audrey, I feel so sorry for you…”

“I would never want a sister like her!”

Catherine had a keen sense of hearing. She had heard everything the production crew told the

celebrities a second ago.

All three other teams received hints on how to avoid picking the worst lot. Audrey was supposed to pick the worst lot, so there was no need to give her any tips.

It was a predetermined outcome. So be it. Catherine didn’t want to try to change it. She couldn’t be bothered to!

The Parker brothers saw Audrey looking devastated and proposed to her,

“Audrey, we managed to land a rather decent house. The facilities inside aren’t too bad either. How about we make a switch?”

The brothers landed a two-story cottage, which Audrey had her eyes on from the start. She didn’t need the best house but didn’t want the worst one. Who would have known that she would pick the worst one?

Audrey was furious when she knew she picked the worst one. It was one thing to have bad luck, but Catherine would have to suffer with her. What should she do?

Audrey wanted to accept the brothers’ proposal.

However, she remembered agreeing with Catherine that she would discuss everything with her before making any decision. So instead of deciding by herself, she turned and looked for Catherine.

“Kathy, the Parker brothers are willing to trade houses with us. What do you say?”

Catherine replied apathetically without even turning to look at Audrey, “There’s no need!”

Audrey understood that Catherine didn’t want to trade. She had seen the comments from earlier too.

She was worried that if she tried to understand why she didn’t want to, the viewers would start roasting her aloof nature again. She stopped herself in a hurry and then rejected the Parker brothers.

Not only was their house the worst, but it was also the furthest.

Audrey dragged her suitcase along for a very long time before she finally found the house they would stay in. She even came close to losing her way two times on their journey there. Luckily, Catherine managed to stop her and guided her back on the right path.

The suitcase was awfully heavy. So was the backpack.

She was envious of Catherine, who had only had a purse. What a stress-free way to travel.

Viewers commented, “This younger sister is just too much. Are her limbs broken? How could she not even offer to help carry the luggage? If I were the elder sister, I would have gone crazy long ago.”

A new round of roasts began.

The comments were coming so quickly that there was barely any time to read them!

Word of the situation even reached the director.

“Director, although Audrey’s stream’s numbers are still very low, they have improved significantly compared to earlier in the morning!”

Upon hearing the news, the director turned around. Looking at his assistant, he asked, “What happened?”

The assistant explained what happened to the director, “Audrey’s sister has a poor character. The viewers are all watching the stream to roast her!”

The director was excited and happy.

“Good, good. Conflicts give rise to popularity. You guys think of ways to make the situation worse, Shoot from a few different angles, and add in a few bloopers. You guys catch my drift?”

The assistant smiled creepily. He had spent years in the industry and knew exactly how to edit the videos to produce the effects that the director was looking for.

He agreed in a buttery tone, “Don’t worry, director, I’ll settle it!”

Audrey, in the meantime…

Eventually, they found the house allocated to them using the map. However, when they finally arrived at the house, Audrey was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at the thousand-steps staircase in front of her and felt her soul crushed. She suspected that the production crew had done all of this on purpose. Were they trying to kill her by making her climb a thousand steps while dragging her suitcase along?

They still had missions in the afternoon. How was she supposed to handle that?

She turned and looked at one of the cameramen and asked, “So I’ll have to climb the staircase myself, and no one is going to help bring my luggage up, correct?”

The voice of the cameraman could be heard off-screen. “The production crew needs you to do everything by yourself!”

The viewers were roaring with laughter. Audrey’s expressions were simply adorable. A bunch of viewers became her fans instantly.

“Poor Audrey, things would be so much easier if her sister decided to help her!”

“Fat hope. Just forget that her sister exists!”

Audrey accepted her fate.

Among the four teams, she was the least popular celebrity with the least amount of fans. Who else was the production crew going to target as the clown of the show?

Noticing that Catherine had climbed several steps already, she hurriedly grabbed her suitcase and tried to catch up.

However, her suitcase was very heavy. The luggage she had almost crushed her.

The camera team had received instruction from the director that they were not to help, no matter what happened.

Their sole aim was to create trouble.

At the same time, the comments started coming in again. They were a mix of sympathy for Audrey and increased dislike towards Catherine.

The number of roasts gradually increased in the comments.

The director and his crew were overjoyed. Their joy came at the cost of Audrey’s suffering.

Catherine’s pace wasn’t very quick. It looked like she was waiting for Audrey to catch up.

Audrey finally made it halfway up the stairs after tremendous effort. She stopped to take a breather.

Unfortunately, her sweat had made her hands slippery. The suitcase escaped her grasp.

Audrey tried to stop the luggage from falling down the stairs without thinking. Half of the suitcase was filled with her cosmetics. They were crucial to her job. She could not continue to stream if the cosmetics were damaged.

What ended up happening was a cry of pain was heard.

The camera team panicked. While they did intend to create trouble, it was a different matter if the celebrities were injured.

They would have created an accident, and the consequences for doing so were severe.

Just as Audrey was about to fall flat on her face, against everyone’s expectations, Catherine saved her. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

She was so quick that even the viewer didn’t manage to see exactly how she managed to dash and grab Audrey.

With her hand on Audrey’s waist, she pulled Audrey toward herself. At the same time, she used the other hand to grab hold of Audrey’s suitcase that was sliding down.

It was an incredible scene.

The comment section was bombarded with tons of comemnts!

“Too cool!”

“What an awesome scene!”
