The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: The Orphan of a Soldier Seeking Help

The next day, the program started, and the crew announced that Spencer Atkins exited due to health reasons, having been picked up by his manager the night before.

The audience in the live chat had already anticipated this, but they were exasperated with the crew’s never-changing excuse.

"Every time it’s health reasons, Director Clark, be honest, are you too lazy to make up a reason?"

"The last episode was also for health reasons; Director Clark, this will make everyone think coming to the show will make you sick."

"Let’s not be too harsh on Director Clark, he’s just a baby who has had a rough time on all three broadcasts since the show started."

The audience joked in the chat room; today, without Spencer Atkins’ fans causing a ruckus, the whole chat atmosphere was much more cheerful.

While the live interaction hadn’t started yet, the guests were still eating, and everyone began chatting in the chat box.

Naturally, the topic revolved around Spencer Atkins.

After a whole night of public opinion fermenting, the news of Spencer Atkins harassing underage boys intensified, almost reaching an undeniable point.

Netizens even stayed up all night digging up past clips of shows he acted in, discovering that he did exhibit intimate behavior toward younger male actors.

Especially after reading Dylan Lester’s long post and revisiting clips and behind-the-scenes footage of the two, people couldn’t believe they once thought that was normal elder brother and younger brother interaction, and they started feeling sorry for Dylan Lester.

As for Spencer Atkins, he remained silent since yesterday, seemingly intending to keep quiet to the end.

The live audience joked amongst themselves, unaware that Scarlett Jennings had left the frame at some point and went to Director Clark to say something quietly.

Soon, Director Clark gathered a few guests and said something privately, after which the staff began packing up as if preparing to leave.

The live chat audience was puzzled, wondering aloud.

"What about the promised live interaction? Are we not doing it?"

"Director Clark, you can’t just stop the live broadcast because we criticized you!"

"I’ve been here all morning just to see my idol face-to-face..."

Seeing the audience questioning frantically, Director Clark finally spoke up to explain.

"So, Scarlett said she received a private message asking for help this morning, and the case is quite special, so she wants to pause her personal interaction segment to find this person seeking help. I thought since it’s also a request from a viewer, why not everyone go together, we can have this live interaction on the road, and the help segment can continue when we get there."

Most viewers were understanding, though a small portion felt it was unfair.

"Aren’t normal help requests decided by lottery? How does a private message get prioritized?"

"I want to send a private message too, look at me, Goddess!"

"I’ve sent a private message, why didn’t Scarlett respond to me?"

Scarlett Jennings was also watching the reactions in the chat room, and seeing this, she calmly stated, "The person in the private message is a military orphan."

These few words silenced the chat room, and Scarlett continued, "The child is currently missing, it’s quite urgent, so I plan to go over personally to check, this way it won’t take up the help lottery slot..."

As soon as Scarlett finished speaking, the live chat changed their tune instantly.

"It doesn’t count! Goddess, help whoever you want! We just want to watch you!"

"I’m standing here today, let’s see who dares to say a word against my Goddess!"

"Damn traffickers, even kidnapping a military orphan!"

"Could it be malicious revenge? I heard drug dealers sometimes retaliate against anti-drug officers’ families!"

"Both police and soldiers have it tough, they deserve all the privileges!"

"Praying for the child’s safety, if the show crew can help, please do!"

Scarlett Jennings looked at the chat and then at the netizen, offering comfort,

"Rest assured, from the photos you sent, there’s a very faint layer of Merit Power over the child, likely left by his father. With this protection, he won’t easily meet harm, and for now, he seems safe."

She continued, "But to find where the child is, it’s best to have the mother connect with us."

The netizen nodded repeatedly and immediately went to call for someone, revealing to the chat how Scarlett determined the authenticity of the private message for help.

And since the child had Merit Power protection, it proved his father was indeed a great soldier.

The user returned after a while, finally bringing in a woman who looked exhausted.

The woman seemed rather resistant initially, but the netizen pleaded, explaining she found a true master and mentioned what Scarlett had said about the child being protected by his father’s Merit Power, finally persuading the woman to sit in front of the camera.

"Scarlett, this is my aunt, see if you can... figure out where the child is..."

She wasn’t sure what mysticism could reveal, but it was a glimmer of hope.

Scarlett looked at the weary woman on the other side of the video for a long moment, her eyes slightly moving,

"In your Fate Palace, there is indeed a calamity concerning parent and child, but beyond your son, you yourself also face a calamity, one that aligns with today and might even endanger your life."
