Chapter 173
Astrid watched the pathetic performance of the two, snickering under her breath.
The live audience immediately started mocking Astrid.
“What’s this joke? Got a PhD at 22?”
“Wait, I remember Astrid trending before, people were saying she only has a high school education,
she never went to college!”
“Oh my god, Astrid faked her education? That’s just low.”
“Well, maybe she’s just that brilliant/She answered all those tough questions, and I can’t even
understand them!”
“Really, even if you want to brag, you have to limit it a bit. Getting a Ph.D. at the age of 22 is too
exaggerated! Who would believe it?”
The murmurs of the crowd grew louder, forcing the director to halt filming.”
He’d been in this industry for so many years, of course he could see that this was a conspiracy jointly
carried out by Helena and Israel. Helena’s goal was to get the live audience to expose Astrid’s fake
education on the internet. Now that her plan had succeeded, she was satisfied.
The director called over Israel and demanded, “What is going on? What are you playing at?”
Israel put on an innocent face and said, “Director, Astrid’s bio says she’s a PhD graduate from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEndeavor Institute of the States. I didn’t do anything.”
The director angrily replied, “Don’t you know that people can fake–those bios? What are you talking
about?”
“She didn’t deny it herself.” Israel pointed at Astrid on stage, who indeed looked expressionless.
Without further delay, filming resumed.
By now, rumors of Astrid’s fake education had started spreading.
Before the filming had even ended, the issue was trending.
The situation escalated, and by the time filming ended, the internet was filled with insults.
“Why is this woman always trending when she has no work?”
“She must be uneducated to tell such a lie, right? A PhD graduate from the Endeavor Institute of the
States? No way.”
“That’s just shameless.”
“I was her high school classmate. She was a chronic truant, she never went to college!!!”
Elio asked Carson to handle the online comments, but Carson said Dale was already on it and told him
not to worry.
After the show, Astrid had to rush back to the drama set. So she and Clyde headed straight to the
airport.
Roman was sulking since he didn’t get to see Astrid.
He finally cheered up when Elio promised to bring him on set during the weekend.
Back at home, Helena was grinning from ear to ear seeing Astrid getting bashed.
Just as she was scrolling through the news about Astrid, a new trending topic appeared.
#Helena’sFakeEducation#
She clicked on Twitter nervously and the first tweet she saw was from the vice dean of Emerald
University. “Hi, I’m the vice dean of the Mathematics department at Emerald University. Recently, fans
have been inquiring if the current trending star, Helena, is our graduate. I’ve checked and found that we
have no student by that name in our system. I doubt the authenticity of Helena’s Emerald University
diploma. Perhaps she used a different name during her time at school? Otherwise, why can’t we find
her academic records?”
Helena was shocked by this news.
However, there was news that shocked her even more. The Endeavor Institute of the States twittered
because of this trending topic: “Hello, I’m Dean Edmund of the Endeavor Institute of the States: I was
shocked when I saw the trending topic. Someone actually questioned Dr. Astrid’s qualifications? She is
a genius and a role model for our school students! We will never allow you to denigrate Dr. Astrid like
this. Here is her certificate, her semester grades, and photos of her participating in club activities. If you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcontinue to defame Dr. Astrid, we will take legal action to protect her reputation!!!”
Who was Edmund?
He was a globally renowned scientist and educator, fluent in six languages!
He had refused invitations from many national leaders to give speeches, yet now he was personally
tweeting in defense of Astrid?
This could only mean one thing, Astrid’s education was legit!!!
At this moment, Helena felt like dying.
She had brought this upon herself!
If she hadn’t tried to frame Astrid, her fake education would never have been exposed!
She wanted to harm Astrid, but ended up screwing herself over!
Her future was ruined!
And she had inadvertently pushed Astrid higher up!
Beautiful, smart, top student!
With this label, Astrid’s popularity was sure to reach new heights!
Meanwhile, Astrid was sitting in her car, whistling contentedly.
She opened Twitter, and thought for a few seconds, then tweeted, “Originally I just wanted to get along
with you as an ordinary person, but all I received were
Chapter 173
slanders and insults. No more hiding, I am a genius.”
Helena, already pissed off, rolled her eyes and fainted right after seeing Astrid’s tweet
