Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Hello, Ungrateful Cubs
At that moment, a chill crept up everyone’s spine.
It surged from their feet to the back of their necks.
The viewers in front of their screens felt the same eerie sensation too.
[Wait, wait, wait... Isn’t that the Golden Bracelet handled yesterday? Didn’t Scarlett Jennings dispose of it?!]
[I must’ve got up on the wrong side of the bed, my eyes must still be messed up. It seems like the bracelet that was smashed yesterday is back...]
[This clearly isn’t the one from yesterday; the one yesterday was broken!]
[Why is there another one?! And why is it on my girl’s bed?!]
[This is so creepy, it feels like we’re being haunted. Ahhh, mom!]
[This is too freaking creepy. I instantly forgot about seeing Momo Ross without makeup.]
That comment drew part of the audience’s attention back to Momo Ross’s previously seen bare face.
To be honest, even her own fans found that bare face quite jarring.
It’s not that she looked terrible.
Mainly, her complexion was sallow yet turned pale from fright, making her look not only bloodless but somewhat terrifying. Since she was makeup-free, everyone could see her nearly invisible eyebrows, large pores, nasolabial folds, even the fine lines and bags under her eyes...
Heaven knows, Momo Ross was only 25 years old!
Some naive fans were immediately put off, and while they didn’t unfollow her instantly, their admiration for Momo clearly cooled off.
It took Momo Ross a moment to realize she was still makeup-free.
She instinctively covered her face, wanting to hide from everyone, yet worried that she’d be all alone if she did...
In her panic, she instinctively sought assistance from Scarlett Jennings.
After all, it was Scarlett who spotted the problem with her bracelet yesterday, and Momo was convinced she was capable,
"Scarlett... Scarlett, help me. Why is this thing back?!"
She looked flustered, scrambling to get up and running to Scarlett Jennings at the edge of the crowd, as if that would bring her some sense of security.
Before Scarlett could respond, Ariel Zimmerman also hid behind her in fear, holding onto the hem of Scarlett’s clothes.
"Scarlett, what’s going on? Wasn’t the bracelet smashed yesterday? How did it come back?"
Amber Livingston, too, was shocked at the sight of the bracelet and instinctively asked,
"Was it not thoroughly handled yesterday?"
Everyone’s eyes, including Scarlett’s, turned to Amber, who then realized how improper her words were.
It sounded as if Scarlett’s skills were inadequate, hence the unfinished job.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Amber’s face, "I didn’t mean that..."
Amber, despite her vanity, always worried about Scarlett and Evander Simpson stealing her thunder on the show.
But after witnessing their ability yesterday, she really didn’t want to offend them.
Yet now that she had spoken, her attempt to rectify seemed empty and weak.
Instantly, the audience joined in criticizing Scarlett Jennings, claiming she fooled everyone yesterday, leaving Momo Ross haunted instead of aiding her.
In her earlier panic, Momo Ross obviously thought of this point.
Yeah, why did she instinctively assume that another bracelet she dealt with returned?
Why couldn’t it be that Scarlett Jennings failed to handle the bracelet yesterday, causing it to haunt her again?
Facing the live camera, Momo Ross really didn’t want to admit she had another bracelet.
Shifting the blame to Scarlett Jennings was the best option.
That way, any further handling would have to be Scarlett’s responsibility.
With that thought, Momo Ross intentionally whispered back to Amber, "Amber, don’t say that. I believe in Scarlett’s abilities, maybe it was just an error yesterday."
These words essentially acknowledged Scarlett’s failure to handle the bracelet properly yesterday.
Fans watching the stream immediately followed their leader and began fiercely criticizing Scarlett Jennings.
[Scarlett Jennings is just pretending to know what she’s doing! To get attention and ruin our sister!]
[No way! This is disgusting! What if something really happens?]
[Hasn’t something already happened?! That thing mysteriously ended up back on my girl’s bed!]
[Scarlett Jennings did a great disservice!]
[I’m speechless! The bandwagon of ingrates upstairs forget it was our Scarlett who first pointed out the problem with the bracelet yesterday? If Scarlett hadn’t mentioned it, your idol might’ve slept hugging that Golden Bracelet tonight!]
[She points out the issue and helps with the bracelet, yet still gets blamed? Momo Ross’s fans must be toxic!]
[As a neutral party, it seems to me Scarlett Jennings is really being wronged. She pointed out the problem out of goodwill and gets scolded, something goes wrong today, and she’s scolded again, what debt does Scarlett Jennings owe Momo Ross?]
Because some ’justice-oriented bystanders’ spoke up, the barrage from Momo Ross’s fans was quickly drowned out by others.
In the room, upon hearing what Momo Ross said, Scarlett Jennings raised her eyebrow coldly.
She gently stepped forward, then turned directly toward Momo Ross and simply asked,
"Are you sure you want to pin this on me?"
Her tone was too casual, as if asking what they’d like for lunch, but her gaze seemed to see through everything, making Momo Ross panic within.
She suddenly realized she might have just made a grave mistake.
Her lips quivered, barely managing to squeak out a few words, "I, I didn’t..."
She looked at Scarlett Jennings, then through her, seeing the camera behind, and after a while, she bit her lip, looking pleadingly at Scarlett,
"I was wrong, Scarlett, I apologize to you."
Then she turned to Director Clark, who had just arrived, beseeching him,
"Director, can we pause the broadcast for a bit?"
If the broadcast paused, she could explain the actual situation since the variety show staff all signed confidentiality agreements.
But she couldn’t let people know on stream that she secretly kept another Golden Bracelet yesterday...
When Director Clark heard Momo Ross say this, he knew something was up with her and was terribly irritated.
His show was really not going smoothly.
For two episodes straight, they’ve immediately faced crises. After barely resolving them, she wanted to interrupt the broadcast?
The live broadcast variety show was about authenticity, was it something that could just be paused?
Director Clark didn’t look pleased, "Give me a reason."
Momo Ross opened her mouth, her complexion pale as she faced the gazes of fellow guests and staff in the room. Just as she was about to come up with an excuse, Scarlett Jennings, who had remained silent, finally spoke up and said,
"I do not agree to pause the broadcast."
It wasn’t that she wasn’t in favor; she outright disagreed.
Her stance held a rare cold, imposing force.
Previously, she didn’t call it out in front of the program team out of regard for the actress’s dignity. She came to join the show, not to make enemies.
But since Momo Ross showed no gratitude, Scarlett naturally didn’t care to cover for her anymore.
Director Clark observed Scarlett Jennings’s stance and instinctively sensed there was something more here.
Then he saw Scarlett turning her gaze back to Momo Ross, her voice indifferent,
"Since yesterday till today, I have given you three opportunities."
Before everyone present could wonder what opportunities Scarlett was referring to, Momo Ross understood her meaning, and her already unsightly face turned even more ashen.
[When you picked this up, was there only this one Golden Bracelet in the Blessing Bag?]
