A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 9

After a short pause, Demi smiled dryly and replied in a calm tone, "I don't have any parents."

The shift in her expression had been so brief that it seemed like a hallucination. Yet, both the staff members and the livestream viewers had picked up on it.

Margaret, who was leaning on Timothy to stand, widened her eyes in confusion.

Why did Demi say that? Her parents were still alive, and they were extremely rich as well.

It wasn't good for her to lie to a TV station, right?

According to Margaret's understanding, only TV stations were capable of filming shows.

The staff member quickly apologized, "I'm sorry."

Demi's voice was light as she replied, "It's alright."

The viewers left comments again.

"The vicious gal doesn't have parents? Is she an orphan?"

"Why is she so pitiful? Should we stop attacking her?"

"Suddenly, I don't feel comfortable going after her."

"Why should you feel that way? So what if she's pitiful? There are still things to hate about her! Think about all the horrible things she's done in the past."

Hence, the viewers started furiously stating all the terrible things Demi had ever done. For example, she had once taken up a seat despite an elderly woman in her 70s standing before her. Besides that, she had also deliberately tripped a rookie actress and snatched other people's roles from them.

Additionally, she had even hired someone to secretly capture a picture of herself leaning toward an A-list actor while talking and then spread it on the Internet.

The viewers remarked, "She's vile!"

"Even if she's an orphan, that's not an excuse for her to act however she wants."

After briefly capturing the courtyard, Demi brought the staff members away.

She patted Timothy's head gently and said softly, "Take good care of Grandma, alright? I'll be back in two days."

Timothy remained quiet and nodded.

They headed to their destination in a SUV. The staff member briefly introduced their destination and the rules of the show. They even put on a video that was a cursory introduction of the other guests.

Demi had never kept up with celebrities, and the television in Margaret's home was broken. So, she was extremely unfamiliar with the entertainment industry.

She had been in the world of cultivation for 300 years as well, and apart from her personal matters, her other memories were hazy.

Hence, Demi watched the video closely and searched them on her phone as well.

She looked extremely focused, as if she was completing her homework. A few days ago, she had registered for an identification card and a bank card. She had even bought a smartphone at a cheaper price.

After obtaining her permission, the cameraman showed her phone screen.

Comments left by the viewers poured in.

"This can't be real. Isn't this vicious gal going overboard? It's fine if she doesn't know any of the rookies, but it's impossible that she has no idea about the A-listers and movie stars."
