Lucas Jennings was indeed young, and his first reaction upon seeing the argument in the comments section was that someone was stirring up trouble.
And naturally, the troublemaker was Chase Jennings, who had just been reprimanded that morning.
Chase was about to go downstairs for dinner when he heard Lucas, nearly slipping in anger as he retorted,
"Don’t falsely accuse me! I’ve already settled with the shills I hired!"
Lucas didn’t believe him, "If it wasn’t you, then who was it? Those people are clearly just looking for trouble!"
Chase laughed coldly, wanting to mention Scarlett Jennings’ temper, and how he’s not the only one who couldn’t stand her.
But remembering what happened that morning, he restrained himself and held his tongue.
If Uncle found out again that he was mocking Scarlett, he’d probably give him another warning.
Scarlett also didn’t think it was Chase.
She suspected it was Amber Livingston’s fans.
Although Amber was an internet celebrity, due to his disguise and persona, many people online held him in high regard, and his fan loyalty rivaled that of idols.
Lucas didn’t understand the intricacies of the entertainment industry, but he was sure that Amber Livingston’s fans were picking a fight, so he didn’t waste time arguing with Chase and turned to spar with those people using his own account.
But shortly, he received a message from Donovan Jennings, telling him not to add fuel to the fire.
Lucas felt a bit aggrieved, how could this be called adding fuel to the fire?
Was he not allowed to retaliate when someone talked bad about his sister?
Donovan saw Scarlett’s photo on her social media moments after she posted it, simultaneously noticing how the comments quickly took a turn.
Though he also didn’t grasp the entertainment industry, he wouldn’t dive in personally like Lucas.
He always believed that professional matters should be left to the professionals.
So in less than five minutes, a team of professional shills stepped in to control the narrative, quickly restoring the usual atmosphere in the comments section.
Scarlett knew it was Donovan who enlisted Juno Wilder’s help and then messaged Samuel Chalmers to express her gratitude.
Subsequently, she followed back Donovan and the show’s guests one by one.
Samuel unexpectedly received her thank-you message, which was puzzling but he accepted it, and then saw her starting to follow people back on social media. freewёbnoνel.com
Thinking for a moment, Samuel instructed his assistant to register him a social media account as well and then clicked to follow her.
Then he sent a message to Scarlett.
[Samuel Chalmers: Follow me back too.]
After all, he was her fiancé, at least by title, so he couldn’t be left out.
Scarlett had just closed her social media when she saw Samuel’s message, inexplicably clicked back in, and found a new follower.
She didn’t hesitate to follow back.
She couldn’t resist the curiosity and wondered what Boss Chalmers posted on social media; upon checking, she discovered it was a new account.
"Did Boss Chalmers specifically register a new social media account just to follow me?"
As this thought emerged, Scarlett immediately dismissed it.
Boss Chalmers didn’t seem that idle.
It was likely that her brother helped orchestrate everything again.
Scarlett thought she ought to have a good talk with Donovan eventually.
Even though they were neighbors, she couldn’t always trouble him with her affairs.
After all, she had already caused quite a bit of hassle for the boss regarding the spiritual energy and Golden Light matters.
If this continued, the Jade Token she gave him initially might not be enough compensation...
Ariel was quite envious.
Soon, all five guests had arrived.
It was evident the substitute guest host was intended for the finale, given the five guests were somewhat acquainted after the first episode’s chemistry, so they exchanged greetings.
While greeting each other, Amber Livingston also brought up the previous incident in Scarlett’s comment section.
"My fans previously went to your comment section; I explained to them during a livestream later. They were just oversensitive because I worship the Immortal Fox Lord, so please don’t mind."
He then added,
"I saw your pet fox, you raised it well. You know I worship the Immortal Fox, so I’m quite familiar with foxes, although we generally don’t keep real foxes as pets, as it would be disrespectful to the Immortal Fox."
Amber spoke seriously, combined with his sincere and honest demeanor, giving the impression he was earnestly educating you.
But as Scarlett listened to him mention his worship of the Immortal Fox Lord twice, with a hint of pride in his tone, that last sentence seemed to imply,
See, trying to gain attention with a pet fox doesn’t work; genuine worshipers of the Immortal Family know you shouldn’t have a creature of the same species as the Immortal in your home unless it’s the real deity being worshipped.
Sure enough, after Amber made that remark, his fans in the livestream laughed and mockingly remarked that Scarlett’s tactic wasn’t cautious enough.
Not everyone who raises a fox can claim to worship the Immortal Fox.
Scarlett merely smiled at Amber’s comment, knowing that his previous claiming of inviting spirits was just an act.
It wasn’t certain if his family indeed worshipped the Immortal Fox.
Evander, aware of the truth, was more interested in Scarlett, a genuine young companion, than in Amber, the pretend Master.
At that moment, he stepped forward, steering the conversation toward Scarlett, to chat about the Taoism Academy.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Carew and Ariel Zimmerman also showed interest and joined the conversation. With the new guest yet to arrive, Amber suddenly felt left out.
Unwilling to be sidelined, he approached with a smile, injecting himself into their topic.
"Our worship of the out-of-body fairy isn’t as segmented as the Taoist Sect, but I’m truly interested in these topics; someone recently even approached me for help with geomancy, but how could the Immortal Family concern themselves with such matters?"
