Chapter 27
Sering Phoebe and Maddox playing off each other, Reece became even more irritable. At the same time, be developed a sense of aversion toward Maddox
“There are some misunderstandings between Pheebs and me, and there’s no need for you to worry about it.” He frowned and looked at Maddox, meaning he wanted Maddox to mind his own business.
“That’s not right.” Maddox shrugged, retorting confidently, “Pheebs is my lifesaver. Her business is my business.”
Reece was suddenly at a loss for how to refute and felt even more annoyed.
He absolutely didn’t want Phoebe to become Maddox’s savior, and even less did he want to deal with Maddox. So he looked at Phoebe and explained, “I wasn’t saying you were wrong just now, but just hoping everyone could get along well”
“Everyone could get along well as long as you stay away from me,” Phoebe replied indifferently
ney came looking for trouble, she wouldn’t show mercy.
If they didn’t provoke her, she naturally wouldn’t stir up trouble in the livestream. But if they
Knowing Phoebe well, Reece got the implied meaning in her words instantly. “Of course.”
He’d privately talk to Sienna, advising her not to provoke Phoebe any further. After all, Phoebe didn’t even show respect to him and Jamar, her brother. To avoid a worse scenario, they’d have to take a step back.
Jamar wanted to say more, but Sienna tugged at his sleeve, indicating him to stop.
Normally, Sienna would enjoy seeing Jamar lecture Phoebe. But this time, she was worried that Jamar might provoke Phoebe, pushing her to release the recorded conversation from that day.
Though Jamar wasn’t afraid of people knowing about his relationship with Phoebe, he held back and swallowed his words, for Sienna’s sake.
The courtyard fell into a momentary silence
The director knew that too much was as bad as too little. He couldn’t let the atmosphere in the livestream stay so awkward forever. So he started. with a smile, “Oh, there’s something I need to tell you
Everyone turned to him, asking, “What is it?”
“You know that the village has many elderly people and children, so the production team wants to hold an event in the village on the last day. You’ll prepare some performances for the villagers.
“Well give each villager a red flower and have them vote for you. The group with the most flowers will have a request granted by the production team” the director explained.
It was about creating buzz.
“What kind of show should we prepare? Are there any rules? James asked.
“No rules, you can discuss it among yourselves. The director shook his head. “As long as the villagers like it
Next, Phoebe and the other three went to a room to discuss what show to prepare.
Jamar’s team also went back to their room to discuss
Sienna wanted to showcase herself, so she volunteered to perform a classical dance and play the cello.
Erika said she could sing
Jamar was skilled in singing and dancing and chose to sing and dance.
Reece had released records before, so he suggested singing, too.
In all, their group could produce five performances
On the other side, Maddox looked at the three and asked, “What performance should we do! I don’t think the villagers will necessarily like singing and dancing

“For an audience mainly composed of the elderly and children, magic should be more popular than singing and dancing.” James agreed.
Lexie originally wanted to sing. Hearing them, she found it reasonable. “Then let’s think carefully and come up with a few creative ideas
Maddox looked at Phoebe. “Any kleas?”
“How about a puppet show?” Phoebe thought for a moment, replying
The other three were taken aback. “Puppet show?”
Phoebe nodded. “Charles mentioned that there’s an old master of puppet shows in the village. Although puppet shows are gradually fading from people’s sight, the old man still sticks to making puppets day in and day out. He hopes that more people will be able to see and appreciate puppet shows one day.
“If we perform it, not only can we fulfill his wishes, but we can also promote and carry forward this intangible cultural heritage. And I guess both the elderly and children would enjoy watching a puppet show.”
Maddox suddenly became interested. “Are you suggesting that we perform a puppet show?”
Phoebe nodded, “Exactly, we can play different roles
“I agree. But only a puppet show“” Lexie asked.
Phoebe smiled. “Didn’t we tell Charles and the villagers that those interested could come here for a lesson tomorrow! So you can teach the kids to sing and dance and perform together on stage.”
“Marvelous,” James applauded. “Parents will definitely be happy seeing their children on stage. And the villagers will feel more connected seeing familiar kids performing”
[And she’s super hot and kind–hearted.]
[Why were there so many people criticizing her before?]
(There must be a huge scandal between Phoebe and the Jenkins siblings. I’m really curious about what that so–called recording is.]
