Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 120: You’re the One Acting
Claire Lee, "Ria, can I ask one more?"
Riley Perry watched the stir-fried pork with green peppers that was almost ready, nodding. "Last question. After this, we’re eating."
Claire Lee immediately looked at the screen, planning to pick an easy question. A netizen on screen said they wanted to ask a math problem. Without a second thought, Claire Lee agreed, since her dear Ria was the best at math.
"To the netizen who wanted to ask a math question, you can ask now."
[Question: Why is there no change in my weight after I relieve myself?]
Riley Perry dished out the food and handed it to Victoria Koenig for him to place on the table. "To that netizen, you probably shouldn’t let too many people know you wear diapers, okay? I’m worried you’ll get laughed at.
Alright, we’re going to eat now. The interactive session is over."
She furrowed her brow after speaking. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
[She already said they were going to eat, and this dude still asked such a... fragrant... question. Drag him out and bury him!]
[Hahaha, was the person who just asked that question for real?]
[Dude, I’m more curious about how old you are.]
The comments were full of laughter. Someone suddenly brought up the books they saw in Riley Perry’s home that morning. [Is it possible that Riley Perry has read all those books?
Or maybe the bookshelf used to hold other books, and she only replaced them with these new ones after finishing all the old ones. And she just hasn’t finished the new ones yet.]
[When she was on the mountain, she knew all about the plants like the back of her hand. It was like she knew more than a botanist. This suggests she might know some traditional Chinese medicine, too.]
[She’s a Kingsbridge University student. How bad could she possibly be? The netizens were all misled by those defamatory rumors before. She’s clearly a wonderful girl.]
[Exactly. Just because some people said she had a sugar daddy, everyone ignored her shining qualities. Now that the rumors are gone, the real Riley Perry is revealed to everyone. She’s a hidden gem.]
These comments had the distinct feel of an internet water army, but because they made some sense and were quite long, people thought they were rather reasonable.
Sitting in front of the monitors, Director Warren slammed the table in excitement. Riley Perry had given him too many surprises. How had a hidden gem like her not been discovered before?
’No, it’s a good thing no one else discovered her. Now I get her all to myself!’
The internet was also buzzing because of Riley Perry’s witty comebacks, and at the same time, the hashtag #JustHowBroadIsRileyPerrysKnowledge?# shot to the top of the trending list.
Joanna felt that the past few days had been the happiest time for her since becoming a manager. Other people had to pay to get on the trending list, but for her Riley Perry, it was as common as eating. No, you only eat three meals a day—Riley had practically been living on the trending list lately!
The only fly in the ointment was that she couldn’t figure out what those directors were thinking. Her artist was so popular now, so why wasn’t anyone sending her scripts? ’It’s so frustrating!’
Ten dishes were quickly prepared. Director Warren showed up uninvited, along with the assistant director and the assistant program planner. Riley Perry also called over Claire Lee and Jenson. The seven of them gathered around a table and, without much conversation, dug right in.
Claire Lee was so happy she was about to faint. She never thought she’d one day be able to eat a meal personally cooked by her idol. She was simply ecstatic!
She was even happier after tasting Riley Perry’s cooking!
It tasted absolutely incredible, easily on par with a top hotel chef.
’Truly, excellent people are excellent at everything!’
Director Warren and Victoria Koenig were eating without even lifting their heads, looking as if they’d been starved for eight meals.
People on the live stream were constantly asking: [Besides the expensive ingredients, there’s nothing special about these dishes. How good can they possibly taste? Are they for real?]
[They’re obviously acting. How many celebrities actually know how to cook?]
[Things are different when you have a sugar daddy. Even Director Warren has been bought off.]
[I knew someone would pop up saying the food must be bad and that they’re all acting!
And there they are! People with dirty minds see everything as dirty!]
[To the person talking about a sugar daddy, are you not afraid of death? Stardust has already sent out who knows how many legal letters today, and you’re still spouting nonsense about sugar daddies?]
In a whirlwind, all the dishes on the table were devoured. As Riley Perry cleaned up, she faced the camera and said, "I’ll let you in on a secret. I actually don’t know how to cook at all. I just read a couple of cookbooks before coming on this show, so I know the process, but the food tastes terrible.
They were all just acting. What do you think? Was their acting good?
Hey directors, if any of you are impressed by our Victoria Koenig’s acting, hurry up and send him a script!"
Director Warren: "You’re the one who’s acting! Your whole family is acting!"
The audience in the livestream: [Hahaha~ If they weren’t filming a show, Director Warren would probably stand up and hit someone.]
[...Haters, it seems she has once again anticipated your anticipation.]
[I feel the sting on some people’s faces.]
[Hahaha, how could it not sting? They just got slapped loud and clear.]
[If it’s for a role like a foodie or a glutton, the director should definitely give Victoria Koenig a chance. After all, his performance is the epitome of realism!]
After a tiring day, once the dishes were cleared away, Director Warren left with his crew. Riley Perry immediately went into the bathroom to take a bath. Just then, her room door opened silently.
When Riley Perry came out of the bathroom, a certain young master was lying on the sofa, playing a game.
Her hand, which was drying her hair, froze. "How did you get in?"
Eric Sinclair’s fingers moved quickly across the screen. Without looking up, he said, "I walked in."
"Don’t play dumb with me. Where did you get a keycard?"
Eric Sinclair had just finished a round. He put away his phone, sat up, and smiled at Riley Perry. ’So beautiful. I could never get tired of looking at her. To think such a beautiful woman really exists in this world, and she’s all-natural, too!’
"This hotel is part of the Sinclair Group."
The moment Riley Perry heard that, she threw the towel in her hand into his arms. "Agh! Why didn’t you say so earlier? If I’d known this was a Sinclair Group hotel, I would have negotiated a different deal with Director Warren."
Eric Sinclair was charmed by her cute, annoyed expression. She was clearly angry, but her voice was too pleasant, and she wasn’t shouting like other women did when they were mad. It had a delicate quality, almost as if she were pouting.
His hand started to itch, so he rummaged around in his pocket, pulled out a card, and held it out to Riley Perry. "Alright, don’t be angry. This is for you. It gives you free stays at all Sinclair Group hotels."
Riley Perry hadn’t expected to get such a good deal just by complaining casually. She immediately walked over and took the card. "Really? For me? With this card, can I stay in the presidential suite every day?"
Eric Sinclair nodded. "You can, as long as you want to." Only three of these supreme VIP cards had ever been made, and Riley Perry’s was the only one that had been given away.
A VIP card might not sound like much, but when you considered that it meant you could stay in a presidential suite for the rest of your life, you could understand its value. It was no different from being given a small villa.
Riley Perry plopped down next to Eric Sinclair, wrapping her arms around one of his and beaming a smile as brilliant as the morning sun. "Thank you, my dear sugar daddy."
