Chapter 178 A Slap in the Face
Catherine looked calmly at Audrey, who was raising her hand to her ears with a look of earnest assurance. She could sense that she didnât dislike Audrey and even felt that Audrey was somewhat adorable.
It was true that she didnât like physical contact with others, but it didnât bother her when Audrey touched her. Looking at Audreyâs frightened look, Catherine wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said softly, âItâs okay!â
Audrey froze for a moment, her eyes falling straight onto Catherineâs hand on her shoulder. In shock, she realized something else.
She stared straight at Catherineâs hand and couldnât help but exclaim, âWow, Kathy, your fingers look so good, donât they? Theyâre fair and beautiful, just like the hands of a comic book character.â
After saying that, she reluctantly waved her hands and said unhappily, Look at my hands. I take care of them every day, but theyâre not as good as yours. Your hands would look even greater if you were to play the piano.â
The camera also fixed on Catherineâs hands as Audrey exclaimed. The crowdâs eyes were drawn to the pair of hands.
Catherineâs eyes, on the other hand, landed on Audreyâs exaggerated expression. She found that any little thing seemed worthy of being magnified in Audreyâs case, causing her to let out a wow.
It was kind of amazing how Audreyâs flurry of astonishment left people speechless and made them find her adorable at the same time.
Following Audreyâs gaze, Catherine glanced at her hand. They looked beautiful on the surface, smooth and tender, but outsiders didnât realize how many calluses were hidden inside, which were honed from hard work.
The program team had a headache. They thought, âWhy donât the Swann sisters follow the script? Their minds are too active.â
If it wasnât for the favorable ratings, the director might have already blown up at them. Finally unable to bear it, the director flew into a rage. He held a loudhailer and shouted in Audreyâs direction, Audrey, do you want your clue or not?â
Audrey came to her senses and hurriedly shouted, âYeah, of course!â
How could she not want the opportunity that Kathy had managed to get for her? Audrey rushed up and took the clue. But she was dumbfounded when she unfolded it.
Holding the paper, she looked at the director with a puzzled gaze. âDirector, are you sure this is a clue? You didnât make a mistake, did you?â
A mysterious smile escaped the directorâs face, and inwardly, he was pleased with himself. âItâs hard enough to stop you, isnât it?â he thought.
Then, he put on a serious look and nodded. âThatâs right. This is the clue. Itâs also a puzzle, and youâll have to answer it yourselves!â
Audrey was dumbfounded after hearing this. She glared at the director with a face full of disgust and muttered in a disgruntled voice, âYouâre such a pain in the ass!â
The director was speechless. He thought, âHow come such a group of oddballs were admitted?â He was furious. It was always the stars who tried to please the director, but he was so unlucky when it was his turn.
Audrey didnât care that much and directly handed the paper to Catherine. âKathy, the troublesome director is giving us problems again!â
Hearing Audreyâs description of him, the director was exasperated. âDoesnât she realize that everyone can hear her? he said inwardly.
The crowd held back their laughter as they looked at Audrey. However, Audrey was completely oblivious to the fact that she had again left a bad impression on the director.
She was just waiting for Catherine to give the answer. Catherine glanced at the paper and realized it was a very simple graphic cipher.
In her eyes, this kind of question could be solved even by a kindergartener. She took the clue and headed towards the front according to the guiding direction. Audrey hurriedly followed behind her.â Kathy, have you guessed the answer to the riddle? That fast?â
Catherine nodded without much response. Audrey obediently followed. After walking for a while, she realized that Catherine didnât even need to look at the map or the signposts, and they seemed to be going the wrong way.
âKathy, if we keep going like this, weâll be out of the area. Are you going the wrong way? Where are we going?â
Catherine really couldnât stand Audrey to be such a chatterbox anymore. She directly told Audrey the answer, âThe people are in the Ferris wheel!â
Audrey froze for a moment and then reacted. Pointing over her shoulder, she said, Shouldnât the Ferris wheel this way? Kathy, the sign says go this way.â
Catherine stopped in her tracks, her gaze slightly gloomy. She wrapped her arms around her chest, her aura intimidating and overwhelming.
âDo you believe me or the signage?â asked Catherine. As a normal person, one should believe the guidance sign at this point. After all, it was the official answer. But as Catherineâs fangirl, Audrey naturally chose to believe Catherine without hesitation.
âI believe you!â Audrey replied firmly. The gentle smile in Catherineâs beautiful eyes intensified. âLetâs go!â
This scene of the two was recorded by the camera throughout. Many people werenât satisfied with Catherineâs performance and complained about it in the bullet comments.
âThis Catherine is way too confident. Look at her, how proud she is!â
âAlthough Catherine is a bit arrogant, Audrey is very obedient. No matter what else, she regards whatever Catherine says as right!â
Netizens all seemed to have very short memories. It was a slap in the face for them when the last math problem had been done. But now they had already forgotten about it.
Whatever wasnât possible seemed to be easy to Catherine. She led Audrey around a little bit, then arrived at the ticket gate for the Ferris wheel. Audrey was shocked. âKathy, why do I feel like weâre going so fast.â
âTaking a shortcut will be faster!â Catherine answered.
âKathy, do you know the park well?
How do you know the shortcut?â Audrey was stunned and looked at Catherine with amazement. Why did she feel that Catherine knew everything?
If she didnât know the park well, how did she know the shortcut?
The routes on the guide boards of the park were all provided for tourists in order to make it easier for them to visit as much as they could. With such a route, there were bound to be a few more spots to see and, frankly speaking, a little more walking.
Catherineâs answer to Audreyâs question, once again, shocked everyone. âI looked at the navigation map when I was at the gate the first time I came here!â
It took a full three seconds for Audrey to react to this sentence. She interpreted it in a way that she understood.
âKathy, you mean youâve memorized the map of the whole park by just glancing at the navigational map, right?
It looked like not only did she memorize it, but she was also familiar with applying it. Otherwise, how would she know how to take shortcuts?
âIs that hard?â Catherine looked at Audrey in confusion. Audrey wanted to punch herself when she heard Catherineâs relaxed tone. She thought, âOkay, Iâm just here on this earth to make up the numbers. I get it. Iâll shut up.â
It was too much of a slap in the face! But Audrey was not the only one who was humiliated. Those netizens had the same feeling as well.
Catherine really got a great comeback on this one.
