Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Momo Ross Walking The Path to Her Doom Repeatedly

"""

The assistant’s face slightly changed upon hearing Momo Ross,

"Momo, Briony said you should ignore the online stuff for now. She was already upset about you hiring trolls to smear Scarlett Jennings in private, and now this..."

"So? Are you going to blame me too?"

Momo Ross glared at the assistant. While she would occasionally mind her image in private, she was so furious at the moment that any sense of emotional management flew out the window.

She was about to scold the assistant further, but the pain in her tooth intensified. She instinctively raised her hand to cover her cheek,

"Forget it, my tooth hurts. Go make an appointment with the dentist for me first."

Momo Ross felt her luck had taken a nosedive ever since returning from "Inspiration." First, her manager blamed her, and then drinking cold water inexplicably resulted in a toothache.

The assistant, seeing she wasn’t faking it, couldn’t help but suggest,

"How about I get you some painkillers first? Briony said that after the show announced your exit, reporters would surely be watching you, so you’d better not go out recently..."

The assistant added quickly, as if recalling something,

"And the show producers said the person who used evil techniques has been caught, but since you’ve been affected, you might have some bad luck for a while, so it’s best not to leave... Ah!"

Before the assistant finished her words, a half-empty water bottle flew at her.

Unable to dodge, it hit her shoulder, and she winced in pain.

Momo Ross glared at her with a face once hailed by fans as pure as moonlight that now twisted with grim malignance,

"Who are you to tell me what to do? Believe me, I’ll fire you immediately!"

Momo Ross couldn’t care less about any of this then.

Even if she did, she wasn’t afraid.

She still had the amulet she got from the show to protect her!

She was at odds with her manager due to the company’s unilateral decision to terminate her contract with the show, leading her to ignore the warnings about the amulet losing its efficacy after warding off the "Body Borrowing" disaster.

At this moment, she didn’t take the assistant’s reminders seriously.

Meanwhile, the assistant, scared by her expression, obediently went to schedule the dentist appointment anyway.

After the arrangement, she remembered to inform the manager, Briony Ferguson.

When Briony heard from the assistant, she rubbed her temple in exasperation,

"Let her go out if she wants to."

She thought there might still be a chance for redemption, but Momo Ross insisted on courting disaster.

She was beyond saving.

...

That afternoon, Momo Ross donned a mask and suited up to head out.

Staying in wasn’t an option.

The morning started with a toothache, but by the time she woke up from her nap, the left side of her face was visibly swollen.

Momo Ross, accompanied by her assistant, went to a dental clinic in the city center.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as they stepped outside, they were noticed by paparazzi lurking nearby.

After the "Inspiration" show announced her exit from future episodes that morning, a variety of opinions appeared online, although a few, as she hoped, claimed the Jennings Family was exerting influence. More people, however, thought she deserved it.

Having already experienced a major fan fallout, the remaining fans of Momo Ross lacked the clout to fight back.

Her reputation continued to decline online.

Nonetheless, the paparazzi wanted to capitalize on this last wave of attention.

A group waited outside the clinic for over an hour before Momo Ross and her assistant finally emerged.

As soon as they appeared, the paparazzi swarmed to capture the first-hand updates.

"Momo, how do you feel about the ’Inspiration’ show’s announcement of your exit?"

"Momo, did you come out today to get cosmetic surgery?"

Hearing these questions nearly made Momo Ross explode, but she knew her current situation wasn’t suitable for confronting the paparazzi directly, so she restrained her anger and replied,

"I’m just here to see the dentist today."

After saying that, she refused to answer any more questions and quickly walked forward.

But the paparazzi weren’t interested in that answer and persisted in tailing her.

Momo Ross was increasingly annoyed by the harassment. Seeing her van parked by the roadside ahead, she suddenly broke into a sprint without warning.

The paparazzi, seeing her unexpected run, instinctively followed suit.

Thus, she ran, and they chased.

Then, in her haste, Momo Ross fell hard to the ground just as she was nearing her vehicle, her face landing squarely on a step in front.

The fall was quite severe.

The paparazzi immediately shouted, "We weren’t close to her, and we didn’t cause her to fall!"

Momo Ross felt her entire face go numb with pain. Hearing them quickly shift the blame, she was so furious that tears welled up.

Her sunglasses and mask flew off in the fall, and when her assistant helped her sit up, she tasted the distinct metallic flavor of blood in her mouth.

Subconsciously covering her mouth, she then spat out something.

The paparazzi, initially wary of getting too close to her to avoid trouble, cautiously raised their cameras when they saw the scene unfold.

And with that moment captured, Momo Ross, with her missing tooth and a mouthful of bloody evidence, was caught in a brutally clear snapshot.

By that night, the horrifyingly ugly photo spread across the internet.

How ugly was it?

Even Momo Ross’ remaining fans unfollowed her in silence after taking one glance.

Some netizens, approaching from a dental professional’s perspective, analyzed the complexity of repairing Momo Ross’ broken front tooth and bluntly stated that it would be difficult.

But even if it could be fixed, this toothless photo would accompany her throughout her performing career like a black mark.

Scarlett Jennings, upon seeing Momo Ross’ trending topic online, found people making meme edits, expressing sympathy, and even creating videos.

Yet despite this, the Jennings Group and Star Entertainment didn’t withdraw their accusations against her.

Scarlett Jennings then inspected a photo, noticing the resentful energy swirling above Momo Ross had visibly dissipated after she bled.

But given the current trend online, Momo Ross was bound to keep having bad luck for a while.

A person’s fortune was, to some extent, related to their surrounding environment.

In showbiz, there’s a saying, "Red energy nurtures," meaning when someone becomes famous, even their aura is heightened.

In Scarlett Jennings’ view, this "red energy" was the fortune bestowed by fans, akin to faith: the deeper it was, the stronger one’s fortune.

Conversely, if everyone online hated you, the resulting energy reflected as malice.

Once this malice accumulated to a certain level, it inevitably made one unlucky.

Simply put, you might have just had a stroke of bad luck, but if everyone online wished misfortune upon you, you were bound to become unlucky.

Unfortunately, Momo Ross was in just such a situation.

However, this was no longer Scarlett Jennings’ concern.
