All Her Secrets

Chapter 181

The director team, which had been oppressed for so long, finally got the chance to punish Catherine and Audrey.

One staff member suggested that since the three of them were so bad at cleaning, they should be assigned to clean the entire crew’s area. However, the director rejected this proposal. In his view, the viewers already knew that the three of them were not good at these tasks. If they were still assigned to do them, it would be a very deliberate act.

He didn’t want the viewers to misunderstand their intentions and start boycotting the show. After all, the viewers were the ones who provided the financial support, and this show couldn’t afford to offend them.

The director smirked and said, “Don’t worry. I have already come up with a punishment. Just leave it to me!”

When Audrey and the others received the punishment card from the production team, they were dumbfounded. Audrey looked at the staff in astonishment and asked, “Are you sure the director hasn’t gone crazy?”

The staff couldn’t hold back their laughter, awkwardly looking at Audrey. Seeing her reaction, Grayson approached and took a look at the card. He also seemed confused.

“The director must be insane!” Grayson exclaimed. Then, the staff loudly announced the punishment.

“As the last group to complete today’s challenge, you will be assigned the punishment task by the production team. You have to brush the teeth of the crocodiles at the zoo!”

In nature, all living things had a symbiotic relationship and coexisted harmoniously. Animals like crocodiles had birds that cleaned their mouths in the wild. But in the zoo, regular cleaning by humans was necessary to ensure the health of their teeth.

The punishment was set by the production team, and the three of them had to comply. They were taken to the crocodile pool, where three crocodiles were waiting for them to help brush their teeth.

To avoid hurting them, the crocodiles’ mouths were secured temporarily. The staff handed them the cleaning tools, one for each person.

Grayson took the lead and prepared to give it a try while Audrey cowered behind Catherine, her face wrinkled in fear. The director sat in front of the monitor, smugly waiting for the upcoming comical scene.

As soon as Grayson stepped forward, laughter erupted. Although the crocodile’s mouth was secured, its body could still move. When Grayson approached with a specially made toothbrush, the crocodile suddenly swung its tail, scaring Grayson away.

Grayson had probably never been so embarrassed in front of a camera in his life. Unfortunately, that was exactly what the production team was waiting for. They zoomed in on Grayson’s face, capturing his twisted and exaggerated expression perfectly.

It was at this moment that his fans realized that their beloved idol also had a vulnerable side. Despite his fear, Grayson regained his composure and continued to try.

His initial instinctive reaction to retreat was something he couldn’t control. However, the task had to be completed, and Audrey was too scared to continue. They had to rely on Grayson.

As they watched him step forward again and again, only to be scared back by the struggling crocodile, Audrey couldn’t bear to watch anymore and muttered quietly, “The production team is too cruel. This task is unbearable.”

Catherine, who had been standing silently, finally took action after seeing Grayson being scared back once again. As she walked forward, Audrey anxiously shouted, “Kathy, come back! It’s dangerous!”

Audrey’s warning reached Catherine’s ears, but Catherine remained unfazed. Catherine continued to approach and stood beside the crocodile.

“Catherine!” Grayson looked at her with a puzzled expression in his eyes. Catherine’s gaze was calm as she slowly focused on him, raising her chin slightly to signal him. Then, she directly took action, making a shocking move.

The director of the production team, who witnessed this scene, widened his eyes in astonishment. Catherine suddenly pounced on the crocodile, firmly holding onto its body with both hands.

This was surely a bold move. But how could her strength as a girl overpower a crocodile?

She must be crazy!

Unexpectedly, Grayson followed suit. After Catherine held onto the crocodile, he instantly understood her intentions from their previous eye contact and rushed forward to brush the crocodile’s teeth.

Something strange happened. The crocodile seemed to be under some sort of spell. It was previously thrashing around violently, but now it remained motionless, allowing Grayson to clean its teeth.

Grayson’s speed was incredibly fast. After cleaning its teeth as required, he signaled to Catherine to let go of her grip, causing the crocodile to spring up.

At that moment, everyone realized that the crocodile hadn’t become obedient. It simply wasn’t able to resist in the face of Catherine’s overwhelming force.

The astonishing strength of Catherine left everyone stunned. Her strength was even greater than the crocodile’s. Oh my, she was amazing!

At that moment, it seemed that Grayson was like a little girl. The two of them cooperated seamlessly, following the same plan, and quickly completed the task.

After the crocodiles were taken away by the zookeeper, Audrey finally gathered her courage to step forward. The first thing she did was go to Catherine’s side, tightly gripping Catherine’s arm with a strange look in her eyes.

Seeing her peculiar expression, Catherine furrowed her brows slightly and asked softly, “What’s wrong?” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Audrey nervously swallowed before daring to speak, “Kathy, did you work on the muscles in your arms? Can I touch them?”

Audrey was really curious. Although she didn’t know how much strength it took to hold down a crocodile, she thought that Catherine looked so cool just now.

Before Catherine could answer, Grayson rolled his eyes. In his opinion, Audrey’s question was just too stupid. After all, Catherine was capable of anything.

He had heard people in the base talk about how Catherine had encountered a tiger during wilderness training. And she was able to subdue the tiger barehanded, eventually escaping from its jaws. It showed just how terrifying she was.

To prevent Audrey from disturbing Catherine with such foolish questions again, Grayson immediately changed the subject and took her away.

With the mischievous person gone, the variety show instantly became much livelier. Thanks to Grayson’s participation, the show gained a huge boost in popularity, and the ratings soared once again.

Not only that, Grayson followed Audrey on Twitter because Catherine didn’t use it. He could only keep up with Catherine’s updates through Audrey. As a result, Audrey gained 300 thousand new followers overnight. Kim was ecstatic and immediately called Audrey.

“Audrey, let me tell you, Catherine is definitely your lucky star. With her popularity, it’ll be easy for you to become famous. You better hold onto Catherine tightly. She’s your lucky star! Don’t listen to those people spreading rumors about her being a disaster!”

Audrey held the phone, her face full of helplessness as she laughed.

“Kim, I’ve said it before. Kathy is a lucky star, not a disaster!”
