NovelEnglish"Back off, back off! Let go of me!" Parrish yanked Joana away with force, cursing under his breath, "Joana, what the hell is wrong
with you, girl? Why do you always jump on guys like that? There are so many people around, it's not like the boogeyman's going to
eat you alive!"
Joana hadn't expected Parrish to react so harshly. Biting her lip, tears welled up in her eyes. "That's so mean of you. | was scared,
that's the only reason | held onto you. You think | wanted to?"
"What? So you're saying huggingis skind of hardship for you?" If they weren't live on air, Parrish would have really let
loose with schoice words from his neck of the woods.
He wasn't the kind of guy who didn't care for women; it's just that Joana was exactly the type he couldn't stand, and he had zero
patience for her .
While the two were bickering, Astrid and Ehad already found the source of the crying sound amid a pile of leaves—a small tape
recorder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAstrid held up the device and said to Maddox, "Director, it was this thing making the noise."
Maddox took a look and his expression darkened, "This is clearly someone messing with us. We've been filming here without
stepping on anyone's toes or, you know, stealing their thunder."
"That's debatable," Astrid said with a raised eyebrow. "Our show's hot stuff now; wouldn't be surprised if someone's green with
envy over your success, Director."
The mention of this sparked an idea in Maddox's mind—he immediately thought of Vince, a rival reality show producer who always
seemed to be competing with him.
Seeing Maddox's program getting rave reviews, Vince had tried to replicate its success but ended up with a flop. Vince had been
taking subtle digs at him on air, leading Maddox to suspect Vince was behind this stunt.
However, airing such accusations live wasn't a good move, so he simply said, "Let's all look around for anything out of the
ordinary, and Joana, stop your sniveling. There's no ghost."
Joana dabbed at her tears, head bowed, ignoring Mr. Maddox.
The viewers were getting irritated with her antics. [Joana really knows how to be a pain.]
[But who's behind this? I'm betting on Vince. The feud between him and Mr. Maddox is legendary. He must want to see Maddox's
show tank live!]
[It could also be Astar's rivals stirring trouble. After all, Astar's landed a ton of gigs thanks to this show. Her calendar's booked till
the end of next year, and she's got stop-tier productions. Lots of up-and-comers are jealous!]
[Or maybe it's Mr. Lampard's love rivals. They don't want to see Astar and Mr. Lampard live happily ever after!]
[It's tough for Astar and Mr. Lampard to even date, let alone bring little Roman Lampard on a family show. Fingers crossed I'll live to
see that day!]
[Wait... ah!! What's that?]
[Look at camera 36, check out camera 36!!]
The production team noticed something strange and immediately informed Maddox, "Director, bottom left, camera 36, there's
something up! We advise the faint-hearted to look away!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaddox's heart skipped a beat at the warning.
He glanced at the people around him, then said to Naylor, "Mr. Naylor, would you mind coming withto check it out?"
"Sure," Naylor nodded and moved ahead. Astrid noticed Maddox's concern and decided to follow them, sensing something was
amiss.
