The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: I Have Another Bold Guess

As netizens enthusiastically tried to uncover the identity of the mysterious couple and warn them,

the couple, Nora Woods and Gong Youtao, finished packing exactly as planned and prepared to head downstairs to check out.

While packing, Nora took a curious look at the contents of the Brocade Bag,

"That girl was really pretty, wasn’t she? The show they’re filming is called ’Inspiration,’ right? Should we check it out?"

"What’s there to see? It’s just a bunch of young people messing around."

Gong Youtao replied offhandedly, then asked, "By the way, about that investment I mentioned before, have you thought any more about it?"

Hearing this, the light-hearted look on the woman’s face seemed to freeze for a moment. After a pause, she turned her head somewhat apologetically,

"Can we talk about it after we get back? I haven’t made up my mind yet. After all, it’s a significant amount, and my dad says we should consider it carefully."

Upon hearing this, the man’s face showed little change, still wearing a smile,

"No problem, I’m just asking, no rush."

Then he said, "I’ll finish packing here, why don’t you go downstairs to check us out and get the car?"

Seeing him genuinely unbothered, Nora smiled and nodded, taking the room card as she went downstairs.

Unseen to her, the moment she closed the door, the smile on the man’s face grew cold, and his entire demeanor turned icy.

Turning his gaze, it fell upon the Brocade Bag she had placed in her purse.

Recalling the words of the female celebrity, Gong Youtao’s eyes cooled slightly. After a brief hesitation, he extracted the Brocade Bag from her purse.

He then walked to the bathroom and tossed it directly into the bathroom trash bin.

Subsequently, he turned away impassively, pulled the suitcase together, and pushed it along as he left with the purse.

Elsewhere, the show continued filming. After several earnest attempts at persuasion, Sebastian Carew and Scarlett Jennings finally succeeded in finding a couple willing to team up with them.

However, Momo Ross and Amber Livingston still couldn’t find a willing couple by the set deadline. According to the show’s rules, the two of them had no choice but to pretend to be a couple to continue with their tasks. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Originally, Momo was in low spirits due to consecutive rejections. Hearing that she had to pretend to be a couple with Amber, even though she had mentally prepared herself beforehand, her face involuntarily stiffened slightly, and her smile grew a bit forced.

"Why,’’ she thought, "Amber isn’t good enough for me!"

If she really got paired up with him on the show, Momo imagined it would become another piece of dirt on her future record.

Even though she was already facing backlash now.

But with the production team deciding to keep filming her, Momo believed her situation wasn’t as dire as she initially imagined.

She trusted her manager to handle everything well.

After a moment’s thought, Momo spoke up in time,

"Host, though the rule is to act in pairs, is there any chance our team can join forces with another group?"

Being paired with Amber was already a loss, and she didn’t want to do anything couples would do in the show with him. After thinking it over, it seemed more plausible to catch shots with other groups.

Firstly, with more people, they could observe the task targets together, sparing her and Amber from acting alone.

Secondly, after solo streaming for a few hours, she felt hers and Amber’s viewership and engagement were far inferior to the other groups. It might be better to move with Sebastian’s group and ride on their topic heat.

In fact, if it weren’t for some sort of grouping principle, she would’ve directly chosen to be with Sebastian.

"Brother Evander, do you think there’s really something wrong with the guesthouse? Why do couples who stay there end up breaking up afterward?"

Evander had gotten used to being called "Brother" by the netizens. Hearing this, he remained calm and merely glanced at the Sunbeam Mountain ahead,

"Probably... it’s because of Resentful Energy."

Though not apparent, he vaguely felt it ever since checking in yesterday.

However, he couldn’t be sure. Firstly, because the feeling was faint, and secondly, the Resentful Energy was somewhat elusive. It seemed both from the guesthouse and the Sunbeam Mountain.

He couldn’t ascertain it.

Upon hearing the mention of Resentful Energy, the live stream audience couldn’t help but perk up with interest.

While most of them initially came to this live stream for the likes of Sebastian and Ariel,

after watching the first episode, it was hard not to develop some curiosity toward the mystical aspects.

Especially since the events of the first episode didn’t really seem like the product of the show’s scripting, the mention of Resentful Energy and ghosts seemed highly plausible as authentic phenomena.

[Resentful Energy! Note this down, it might be on the test later!]

[How can a guesthouse have Resentful Energy? No one’s died there, right?]

[Who says no one’s died? The owner’s wife doesn’t count?]

[But that was long ago, how can it be related?]

[Moreover, wasn’t the owner’s love story with his wife so beautiful? How could she have any Resentful Energy?]

[Guys! I have another bold theory!]
