Chapter 27 She Suddenly Couldn’t Understand
As Simone and Zac sang in harmony, Leon’s irritation grew. In that moment, he developed a strong
dislike for Zac. Frowning, he looked at Zac and said, “There seems to be a misunderstanding between
Simone and me. You don’t need to get involved.” He wanted Zac to mind his own business.
However, Zac casually shrugged and confidently asserted, “That’s not right. Simone saved my life, so
her problems have become my concern.”
Leon suddenly found himself at a loss for words, which only added to his frustration. He genuinely
hoped that Simone wouldn’t become Zac’s savior, as it would only complicate things. At this moment,
he didn’t want to engage with Zac. So, he turned to her and explained, “I didn’t mean to imply that you
were wrong. I just hope we can all get along peacefully.”
She responded calmly, “As long as none of you actively provoke me, we’ll get along just fine.” She
clarified that she had no intention of starting conflicts, especially during a live broadcast. However, she
wouldn’t hesitate to defend herself if provoked.
He understood her unspoken message and replied, “Understood.” He decided to have a private
conversation with Jodie, encouraging her not to instigate further conflict with Simone.
It was clear that Simone wasn’t showing respect to him and Aaron. Leon decided it was best to step
back and prevent the situation from escalating.
Aaron wanted to say something else, but Jodic pulled at his sleeve. Normally, she would have enjoyed
her brother reprimanding Simone. However, she now feared that she might release that recording if he
pushed Simone too far.
He wasn’t worried about people knowing about his relationship with Simone. However, for Jodie’s sake,
he held his tongue and did not reveal what he wanted to say. The courtyard fell into an awkward
silence, prompting the director to intervene and case the tension.
With a smile, the director announced, “I have something important to share with all of you.”
All eyes turned to him as they asked, “What is it?”
“As you all know, this village is home to many elderly residents and children. To bring more joy to their
lives, the production team has decided to organize a village event next week. Your task will be to
prepare performances that entertain the villagers. As a special incentive, we will give each villager a
small red flower, allowing them to vote for their favorite group. The group with the most red flowers will
have one request fulfilled by our production team.”
This initiative aimed to generate interest and conversation.
Eric asked, “What kind of performances should we prepare? Are there any specific guidelines?”
The director shook his head and replied, “There are no strict rules. You can brainstorm and decide
among yourselves. The main goal is to ensure that the villagers enjoy the performances.”
Following this announcement, Simone and her group gathered in their room to discuss their
performance ideas.

Meanwhile, Aaron and his group did the same. Jodie was eager to showcase her talents and
volunteered to perform a classical dance and play the harp. Leyla suggested singing a song, while
Aaron, known for his singing and dancing abilities, decided to perform solo, Leon, with prior experience
in singing. proposed singing a song. This allowed their group to prepare a total of five performances.
On the other side, Zac looked at everyone and asked, “What kind of performance should we do? I don’t
think singing and dancing would be popular with the villagers.”
Eric agreed, “Considering that our audience mainly consists of elderly people and children, magic tricks
might be more appealing than singing and dancing.”
Keira had initially wanted to sing a song, but after hearing their discussion, she thought it made sense.
“Let’s brainstorm some creative ideas for our performances.”
Zac turned to Simone and asked, “Do you have any ideas?”
Simone pondered and then suggested, “What do you all think about shadow puppetry?”
The other three were surprised. “Shadow puppetry?”
She nodded and explained, “The village leader mentioned that there’s an elder in the village who’s a
master of shadow puppetry. Despite its declining popularity, this elder has been diligently making
shadow puppets for ten years, hoping that more people will appreciate this art form. If we perform this,
we can fulfill the elder’s wish and promote and preserve this cultural heritage. Additionally, I believe the
elderly and children would enjoy watching shadow puppetry.”
Zac suddenly became interested. “So, are you suggesting we perform a shadow puppet show?”
She confirmed, “Exactly. We can each play different roles and put on a shadow puppet show for
everyone to enjoy.”
Eric also became intrigued. “This is a good idea. I find it quite interesting.”
Keira said, “I agree. Then, she asked, “Are we only going to perform one shadow puppet show?”
Simone smiled. “Didn’t we already tell the village leader and the villagers that those interested can
come here for a class tomorrow? At that time, you can teach the children to sing and dance. Perhaps.
they can perform together on stage.”
Eric added, “This idea is excellent. Parents will be thrilled to see their children on stage, and the
villagers will feel more connected when they see familiar faces performing.”
In the past few days, very few people in the village could recognize them. The elderly and children
weren’t interested in celebrities, so their performances of popular songs and dances didn’t receive a
warm reception.
He also believed that having familiar faces perform would bring delight to everyone.
After concluding their discussion, they decided to approach the master of shadow puppetry in the
village the next day and ask for his opinion. They could start preparing for the shadow puppet show if
the elder agreed.
While they were discussing, the flood of online comments continued.

“Simone’s idea is inspiring. I’ve never seen a shadow puppet show before.”
I’m looking forward to how they’ll teach the children.”
“Especially Zachy! He’s still a little kid himself.”
“I’m excited for their next performance.”
“Simone is so nice. She doesn’t try to steal the spotlight and is good at organizing and coordinating.”
“She’s beautiful and kind–hearted.”
“Why were there so many people criticizing her before?”
This is a question for a certain duo’s fans.”
“I also wonder how Simone offended them.”
There must be some big drama between Simone and Aaron. I’m so curious about that so–called
recording.
“I’m curious too. Simone openly mentioned the recording, while Jojo looks like she’s hiding something.
“Leon doesn’t support his childhood friend but stands with Jojo. This is a big deal.”
“I noticed before that Leon always protects Jojo. I even wondered if I was mistaken.”
“Now it seems like I wasn’t mistaken. Leon and Jojo’s relationship isn’t simple.”
“There was never any news about them knowing each other before. They’ve kept it hidden very well.”
“No wonder Simone wants to cut ties with him. Childhood friends like this are too scary.
“It is true that Aaron and his sister constantly provoke Simone. However, according to Leon, it is
Simone’s fault. I wouldn’t want a childhood friend like that either.”
“Could someone please find out more details about this major drama? I am eager to know.”
“Paparazzi: It is our turn to shine now.”
People were curious about the drama that Simone had brought up, and the paparazzi were determined
not to let it go unnoticed. They continued to dig deeper.
In addition to criticizing Simone, Leon’s fans were also becoming displeased with Jodie. Young female
fans naturally disliked women who seemed to get close to their male idols. On the other hand, other
fans rallied around Jodie, causing a clash between the two sides.
The live broadcast ended promptly at 8:00 PM.
Simone and Keira went out to freshen up, while Aaron kept an ear out for any sounds outside. When
he heard the door open from the opposite side, he immediately got up and went out. As expected, he
saw Simone coming out. He walked over and stood in front of her.

Observing this, Keira speculated that he might be here to confront Simone about the recording Keira
soll deciding whether to stay or go freshen up. To her surprise, she saw the man looking at Simone with
a pitiful expression. Then he said, “Simone. I have been working hard today, and my hands and legs
are aching Could you give me a little massage!”
Keita nearly dropped the basin she was holding, thinking. What is happening? Is Aaron trying to act
cute and nerdy with Simone? She suddenly couldn’t understand.

Simone watched Aaron’s behavior and found it quite amusing. In the past, when he used to pull stunts
like this when she was angry and didn’t bother to deal with him, she would tolerate it. Initially, she
believed it was a way for siblings to express their closeness, so she would let him get away with it.
Now, she chuckled and said, “Aaron, it seems you’re lacking something up there.
He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “What did you say?” This was his attempt to find an excuse to
reconcile with his sister. However, he hadn’t expected that she wouldn’t buy it even when he was being
so humble and submissive.
“I said you’re brainless,” she retorted,
His voice raised a few octaves, filled with a sense of injustice. “My hands and feet hurt, and you don’t
care?”
Simone shot him a glance. “Why should I care?”
After that, she called out to Keira and continued walking with the basin in hand, leaving behind a
frustrated Aaron..
He muttered, “Simone, you have some nerve. I’ve seen through you this time.” He couldn’t help but
grumble, She doesn’t even know how to feel sorry for her own brother. Instead, she is growing more
ruthless by the day! Despite his harsh words, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of discomfort.
Simone didn’t stop or turn around. “Now that I’ve seen through you, see a psychiatrist.”
Her response caught Aaron off guard.
When the two women returned after freshening up, Keira saw Leon standing in Aaron’s previous spot.
She turned to Simone and remarked, “He’s here to see you again, right?”
Keira was bewildered. Whether it was Aaron or Leon, they both openly sided with Jodie and stood
against Simone. However, when Jodie wasn’t around, the men secretly sought reconciliation with
Simone. Keira couldn’t help but wonder if Simone’s description was accurate–the men had lost their
minds.
Simone, too, was quite speechless, thinking. These two are taking turns to come here? Are they out of
their minds? Before Leon could speak, she took the lead and looked at him, saying, “You should
probably consider seeing a psychiatrist.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
He frowned and responded, “I’m not crazy.
Simone pursed her lips and quipped, “Well, maybe you’re just brainless.”
Leon suddenly burst into laughter. “Is it satisfying to insult me like that? Let’s talk, shall we?”
She shook her head firmly. “We’re done here. There’s nothing left to say.”
He furrowed his brows. “I don’t want to hear that again.” He cast a quick glance at Keira and then back
at Simone. In a hushed tone, he said, “If you continue like this, I won’t hesitate to make our relationship
public.”
