Chapter 204
The door was shut and Dale began knocking from the outside. "Don't be so heartless; come out already!"
Inside, Robb listened to the knocking with a smirk playing on his lips.
Suddenly, the sound of something shattering came from the live stream, drawing his attention to the iPad in his hands.
Although the camera didn't catch what was going on in the kitchen, he could tell that someone had broken a glass there.
He had promised Astrid in the past not to meddle in showbiz matters, but if these people dared to harm Astrid, he'd make them pay dearly. Meanwhile, in Fannie's kitchen.
Laws was shaking, his hand trembling as he held a,glass. He'd taken two sips of water, but his hand was still shaking. His lips were trembling and he was unable to form a coherent sentence. Fannie was getting anxious, lowering her voice to ask. "What's wrong? Is Astrid that hard to deal with? You said it would be easy to hypnotize her when you took the money. What's going on?" "L, I..." Laws wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was a renowned master at the International Hypnosis Association, and for the past forty years, he had always been confident in his abilitie's. But just now, he tried to hypnotize Astrid like he always did, but she was completely unaffected.
He'd tried everything, but Astrid continued eating and even asked him. "Sir, would you like something to eat?"
Laws felt deeply humiliated as he remembered Astrid's nonchalant attitude. This was the lowest point of his career!
Even if he couldn't fully hypnotize her, there should have been some sort of reaction. But Astrid just kept eating, completely ignoring him.
He'd faced many hypnotists before; the only ones he couldn't hypnotize were those stronger than him.
But Astrid was just an ordinary actress and didn't seem like someone who knew hypnosis.
Why couldn't he hypnotize her?
"I'll give you a refund; I can't hypnotize her." Laws knew continuing would be futile, so he chose to refund the money.
But Fannie, after waiting so long for this opportunity, wasn't going to let it go easily. "Maybe Astrid was too focused on eating to notice your props. Try again, and if it still doesn't work, then you can give me a refund.""
"Believe in yourself; you're a master hypnotist. How can you not hypnotize a little girl?"
Laws thought Fannie made sense. After all, he'd hypnotized many people before; he should be capable.
The two people in the kitchen didn't come out, and Astrid was falling asleep.
She was a bit confused. Fannie had put in so much effort to lure her into the live stream; she should have been fully prepared.
Was Laws just testing her just now?
Had he not shown his full strength yet?
Astrid was startled when she remembered Laws' expression when he left. Oh no, had Laws already used all his hypnosis skills?
She thought it was just a trick when she saw him using props like a novice hypnotist. She didn't expect it to be his strongest move! He was really
weak.
Surely Laws wouldn't leave just because he was devastated, would he?
