In other words, Madeline had just indirectly agreed that Shannon didn't destroy the bracelet properly yesterday
Madeline's fans were quick to back her up. They began chewing Shannon out in the comment section.
"Seriously, Shannon's just an ignorant bitch who pretends that she knows everything! She pushed Madeline into the abyss just so she could steal the thunder!"
"Wait, really? How disgusting! What if something bad really happens to Madeline?"
"It has already happened to her! That bracelet somehow made its way back to her bed!"
"Shannon is at fault here!"
"Wow. You all are a bunch of ingrates! Have you forgotten that Shannon was the one who pointed out the bracelet's problems? If she hadn't said something from the start, your beloved Madeline would've gone to bed with that bracelet!"
"Not only did Shannon point out the problems, but she also personally destroyed the bracelet! To think that she gets blamed for the bracelet's return! Are Madeline's fans this toxic and idiotic?"
"I'm not a fan of anyone here. I personally think you've wronged Shannon. She got scolded for bringing up the bracelet's problems yesterday. Now, she gets scolded because the problematic bracelet is back. Did Shannon do something to offend Madeline?"
Thanks to the comments left by some nice Internet users, Madeline's fans were instantly drowned out by the other comments.
Meanwhile, Shannon raised an eyebrow when she heard Madeline's words. She turned on her heel to face Madeline right away.
"Are you sure you want to pin the blame on me?"
Shannon sounded very casual. It was as though she was asking Madeline what she wanted for lunch. But when Madeline saw Shannon's clear and mystifying eyes which could seemingly read minds, she felt panic rising from within.
That was when she realized that she might have taken the wrong action.
Her lips trembled as she squeezed out, "I… I didn't…"
Madeline looked at Shannon before fixing her gaze on the cameras behind her. A few moments later, she gritted her teeth.
"I misspoke earlier. I apologize for my rudeness, Shannon."
"I will never agree to the livestream getting suspended."
Shannon's usage of "never" was shocking to all. It was rare for her to look all domineering and cold.
The reason why she didn't say anything concrete yesterday was because she wanted to protect Madeline's pride and reputation as a female celebrity. She was just here to film a variety show, not make enemies.
But since Madeline wasn't thankful toward Shannon at all, the latter couldn't be bothered to hide the truth for her.
Having noticed Shannon's change in demeanor, Carlos had a feeling that something interesting was about to happen.
Shannon looked at Madeline once again. She said icily, "I gave you a total of three chances since yesterday."
While everyone was confused by Shannon's statement, Madeline knew what she meant right away. Her pale complexion became even more ashen.
"When you found the satchel, was the gold bracelet the only thing in it?"
