Chapter 379: Chapter 232: Nora Scott Rides Zero’s Hype, Confirmed [Part 2]
Quickly, Luna Durant lost interest in dealing with Mr. Carter’s "targeting."
Because, when the matter became apparent, the program crew, after roughly understanding the situation, couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
"She was so arrogant, now in the blink of an eye, she’s got a swollen face."
"Talking about solving things with a word... really thought she had some big connections, but in the end, it turned out just like that."
"So frustrating. What did she even do? I didn’t sleep all night yesterday, thinking I could finally see the puppet show in person, but then... speechless, really. If I had known, I’d rather not have had that hope."
"Exactly, so much anticipation for nothing. She has no sense of priority."
"Keep it down, otherwise the pampered young lady might snap at you."
...
Suddenly, the tone shifted.
Those who were praising her just moments ago turned to ridicule, sarcasm, and blame.
These intermittent sounds reached Luna Durant’s ears, making her grit her teeth in anger.
However, with multiple cameras around, she didn’t even have the opportunity to lose her temper.
Looking at the other guests, one appeared more awkward than the next, and those who were truly looking forward to the show were utterly disappointed.
If Mr. Carter embarrassed her in person, making her uncomfortable, the reactions from these people made her want to crawl into a hole out of shame.

Due to this unexpected incident, the program crew had to change their plans and pause for half an hour to discuss. They ultimately decided to "stick to the original plan."
Using the footage captured from the night before, they would have the guests act out their "reactions to seeing the puppet show" and then edit the footage.
In short, they had to rely on post-production to try to create a "seamless transition."
This undoubtedly was a significant test of the guests’ acting skills.
But there was no other choice.
What was supposed to be the most anticipated segment turned, due to this accident, into the most torturous one for the guests.
The guests were suffering greatly, and those who had a mere acquaintance with Luna Durant were likely cursing her quietly.
As for Luna Durant, needless to say, the event left her in a bad state, and she was out of it while acting. Christopher Sullivan watched her perform several times unsatisfactorily, eventually signaling to cut her scenes in post-production.

Nearing eleven o’clock, the program crew finally finished filming and announced the end, concluding the recording in Greenhill Town.
Except for Clement Winter, who had seen, played, and filmed yesterday, none of the guests were in a good mood.
Once they announced the wrap, Clement Winter excitedly dashed out, sprinting out of the venue and straight into the waiting car outside.
Everyone watching was stunned.
—The one who was most looking forward to the puppet show was him, how was he the happiest one when he didn’t get to see it?
Utterly baffling.
...
"Driver, hurry, get back to the hotel quickly."
No sooner did he sit in the car than Clement Winter couldn’t help but urge.
"Even at full speed, we won’t be back until nearly midnight."
The assistant yawned, got in on the other side, and snatched back the cushion under Clement Winter.
"Check out the gossip, it’s about your God Z."
The understanding assistant handed the phone to Clement Winter and yawned again, tears in their eyes.
"... Oh."
Taking the phone, Clement Winter felt a bit disappointed.
Except for them, the overtime workers and night owls, regular people would already be asleep at this time.
Ah, ah, ah!
Clement Winter was slightly frustrated.
I wonder if the person’s still there tomorrow.
With that thought, Clement Winter absently unlocked the screen, and the phone displayed a post page—
[Same Bracelet, Nora Scott Buzzing Zero with Solid Evidence!]
The post was published last night.
The content largely speculated that "Nora Scott is gaining traction repeatedly, might have a comeback brewing, and after buzzing Miguel Smith and Luna Durant, has now set sights on top icon Zero; something big must be underway."
The original poster also shared a few images, including a photo and two post screenshots.
The photo was candid, showing Nora Scott leaving a hotel, with a side profile clearly showing her face and left hand, on which a black cord bracelet was distinctly visible, looking identical to the one on Zero’s latest social media post.
Furthermore, the two posts were titled—
Title: [Unreliable Guesswork] Don’t you think the figure in Zero’s photo looks a lot like Nora Scott?
Title: Netizens retrieved a silhouette from Zero’s music festival post; my first thought was it looked like Nora Scott!
