Chapter 163 There's a Good Show Coming
Gilbert watched as Elizabeth approached the stage, his mind racing with possibilities about her intentions.
Elizabeth walked onto the stage and exchanged a few words with the host.
The host greeted her with a warm smile, eyes full of eager anticipation, and gestured for her to proceed.
Elizabeth smiled and thanked the host.
Then she turned to Gilbert and said, "Arnold doesn't believe you could improvise. You are my artist, and I don't want you to be falsely accused. So, I have a suggestion."
She then looked at Arnold with a smile and said, "I’m curious to see if you have the courage to play along with my idea."
Arnold was displeased as he watched Elizabeth approach, intent on clearing Gilbert's name.
He asked, "How do you plan to prove that he didn't hear before and made an adaptation of the song in advance?"
With a fearless look, he added, "How do you want to deal with this?"
Elizabeth said, "The song you just sang hasn't been recorded or released in our country yet, right?"
Arnold wasn't that foolish; he immediately caught on to her gist.
"That's right, the song I just performed is a new creation and hasn't been recorded or released yet," Arnold confirmed.
He asked, "You mean you want Gilbert to learn this song?"
Elizabeth nodded in affirmation, and stated, "Yes! If Gilbert can learn and create his own rendition of this song within half an hour, it will prove he is the genius you mentioned and didn't cheat in advance. After all, the song was written by you and performed for the first time tonight. He couldn't have prepared for it beforehand."
She asked again, "Arnold, do you dare to play along? If you don't, I'll have to assume you're scared."
Elizabeth believed in Gilbert's talent, which was why she dared to propose this method.
It could prove Gilbert's ability and make Arnold concede.
And given Arnold's competitive nature, he would likely agree to the challenge, unwilling to appear intimidated.
Otherwise, it would mean he was scared.
Sure enough, Arnold sneered, "Scared? Me? Alright, as long as the bar agrees, I'll go along with it. This bar has surveillance, right? Have them pull up the footage of my performance so Gilbert can learn from it."
The song was just created before coming to the variety show, not recorded in a studio, and not even on his phone.
His performance on stage was its first presentation.So, Gilbert couldn't have heard or known about it in advance.
He didn't believe Gilbert could adapt it within half an hour.
Elizabeth flashed a bright smile, and remarked, "Arnold, How bold of you!"
Then she asked Gilbert, "This is not a problem for you, right?"
Gilbert confidently nodded with a smile, and answered, "Not a problem. You believe in me, and I won't let you down."
He had been thinking about proving he didn't cheat. Being trusted unconditionally like this warmed his heart.Who would have thought Elizabeth would help him out?
The key was that she believed in his ability and talent, which was why she proposed this suggestion.
She was really great.
Gilbert definitely wouldn't let her down.He wanted everyone to know that her judgment was spot on.He wanted to succeed for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth made a cheering gesture to Gilbert. "Go for it!" she exclaimed.
Arnold, seeing the two of them like this, suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then he thought, 'Gilbert couldn't possibly do it, so there was no need to panic.'
If Elizabeth insisted on being humiliated, she would be embarrassed along with Gilbert.
They couldn't blame him for it.
Elizabeth had already informed the host, who agreed to her suggestion.
After some communication, the host had someone pull up the surveillance footage for Gilbert to study.
And this additional segment was announced to everyone.
The bar patrons not only didn't object but also eagerly anticipated the showdown.
The live stream viewers couldn't help but express their desire to witness it as well.
[Elizabeth showed the same smile as Raymond. Arnold has walked into a trap!]
[Elizabeth played this move well.]
[Elizabeth has been influenced by Raymond. If Gilbert succeeds, Arnold's dignity will be completely crushed.]
[I'm starting to think Arnold is a bit foolish, don't you agree?]
[Is this a trait of the Clark brothers? One gets tricked by Raymond, the other by Elizabeth.]
[Elizabeth and Raymond are too formidable!]
[Haha, can't wait to watch the show.]
[Elizabeth is so domineering, 'My people, I protect!']
[Seeing Elizabeth stand up for Gilbert makes me want to cry.]
[Thank you, Elizabeth, for believing in Gilbert and protecting him. I love you!]
Gilbert's fans were all very excited and sincerely grateful to Elizabeth.
Gilbert used to be bullied and suppressed, having to endure grievances alone.
Now, someone was finally standing up for him, not letting him be bullied by others. It felt great!
On the other hand, Arnold's fans also believed Gilbert had cheated in advance.
Seeing Elizabeth and her fans so happy, they couldn't help but try to bring them down.
[Aren't you too confident in Elizabeth and Gilbert?]
[[If Gilbert cheated in advance, you'll be crying after laughing now.]
[[I don't believe Gilbert can do it. If he fails, let's see how arrogant Elizabeth can continue to be.]
Elizabeth's fans couldn't be bothered to respond, as arguing would affect the audience's impression of them.
They wanted to stay cheerful and show they were well-mannered fans.
They believed in Elizabeth, and that was enough.
With the surveillance video ready, Gilbert sat down to learn the song.
Arnold and Elizabeth returned to their original positions.
After Elizabeth sat down, Raymond winked at her and said with a smile, "Elizabeth, you're amazing!"
He loved seeing Elizabeth mischievously causing trouble.
Nancy, being a professional, could see that Gilbert was genuinely talented.
She also admired Elizabeth's quick thinking in coming up with a counterattack so swiftly.
Nancy smiled and said, "Elizabeth, you're amazing!"
Ronald and Marlon followed suit, saying, "Elizabeth, you're amazing!"
If Gilbert succeeded, Arnold would be embarrassed today.And Gilbert could rise to fame by overshadowing Arnold.
Elizabeth's adaptability and PR skills were truly top-notch.
Seeing this additional segment, Arthur immediately had people promote it.
He wanted those who weren't watching the live stream to know about it.
Soon, the variety show was trending again online.
More people flocked to the live stream, discussing it in the live chat.
The variety show's ratings hit a new high.
Seeing the rising number of viewers and the backend data, Arthur couldn't stop smiling. "Inviting Elizabeth to join our variety show and strongly inviting Raymond was the best decision I made," he praised himself.
The assistant director smiled in agreement, saying, "When it comes to attracting attention, these two are indeed formidable."
With things happening, there was something interesting to watch.
He eagerly said, "There's a good show coming up."
Even he was curious and excited to see what would happen next, and the live stream viewers were no exception.
Arthur smiled and agreed, "Yes, let's continue watching the show."
The way things had developed was truly entertaining, and he loved it!
