Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 547

Lyle was glued to the live stream, clicking through a folder filled with pictures and videos. Each file opened revealed more of Astrid's past competitions.

For years, people had wondered about Astrid's mysterious absence, and now they had their answer—she had been studying.

The folder also contained testimonials from her former instructors. A Black professor said, "Astrid is the brightest student I've ever encountered. When she first walked into my class, I thought she was just another pretty face, but she quickly proved me wrong. Her ability to learn and memorize was astounding. Before I knew it, she was outpacing her peers and even had university lecturers coming to her for advice, becoming her apprentices!"

A philosophy professor commented, "If Astrid wasn't so modest, she'd be an internationally renowned scholar by now."

A mathematics professor raved, "I've never met anyone so intelligent. She effortlessly solved complex problems that stumped me, and 'genius' doesn't even begin to describe her."

The music teacher, however, had a different tune to sing. "I'm the odd one out. While other professors fought over having her in their classes, I dreaded it."

She paused, heaving a sigh as if conjuring a painful memory, "Oh, Lord! I never want to hear that girl sing again in my life!"

The viewers erupted with laughter at the music teacher's exasperated expression, flooding the chat with comments:

"Dude, what did Astrid do to her?"

"LOL, sorry, Miss Music, our Astar really shocked you, huh?"

"I know Astar is tone-deaf, but how bad could it be to wreck the teacher?"

"Now I'm dying to hear Astar sing, lol."

"Poor teacher, I feel for you, but I can't stop laughing!"

The comments were a riot of amusement.

They'd suffered through Astrid's vocal attempts more than anyone. It was a struggle not to burst into laughter—Astrid was blissfully unaware of her lack of talent, and they'd catch hell if they chuckled.

So, whenever the topic of singing came up, they played dumb.

Jay's attempt at a sneaky move backfired, and Astrid, riding the wave of hashtags like #HeartbreakinglyToneDeaf and #LeavingShadowsWithMySinging, skyrocketed to fame, gaining a legion of followers.

Astrid's fans were in awe. Her angelic appearance suggested a celestial being, but a deeper dive into her peculiar set of skills left them gobsmacked.

As Astrid's follower count soared, Jay sent a terse email to Aster's inbox: "Refund!!!"

The story of Astrid's quirky charm and unexpected talents had captured the hearts of the internet, and her legend continued to grow online, one tone-deaf note at a time.
