Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Can I Beat Him Up Now?
As the online controversy intensified, before Spencer Atkins’s PR team could step in, several anonymous sources began to surface in the comments section under Dylan Lester’s long post, claiming that they had been harassed by Spencer Atkins while on the same set.
This quickly set the internet ablaze, even prompting Ivy Sullivan to come forward and state that although she had not been harassed, Spencer Atkins often engaged in intimate behavior during filming to portray brotherhood.
In the live broadcast, Spencer Atkins looked at these online posts, his eyes reddening with anger. He even forgot that he was still live and suddenly sprang up from his chair,
"What people are saying online is nonsense, I didn’t do it!"
He looked at the other guests nearby, trying to find someone to back him up,
"Don’t believe what’s being said online, how could I possibly be that kind of person? I’m not, this is slander..."
However, from Sebastian Carew to Evander Simpson, none of them spoke up.
They all remembered what Scarlett Jennings had previously said; they trusted her judgment more than Spencer Atkins.
After all, whether it was Dashiell Xalvadora or Momo Ross, or even the B&B owner, Scarlett Jennings had never been wrong about people.
Although the guests didn’t speak, William Zeller couldn’t ignore it,
"Spencer, calm down first, we’re still live streaming."
Spencer Atkins couldn’t calm down.
He never thought Dylan Lester would have the guts to expose him. Wasn’t he afraid of being attacked online? Wasn’t he afraid of people looking at him strangely?
The reason he acted so recklessly was that he believed these small actors couldn’t cause much trouble.
In contrast, he wouldn’t easily take action against actors of the same caliber as him, like Ivy Sullivan.
What on earth was happening right now?
Dashiell had been tilting his head, watching the streaming room’s commentary, flashing by since the others started checking their phones for Weibo updates.
Seeing this, he roughly pieced together the whole story.
"I told you he had issues, but you didn’t believe me,"
Dashiell couldn’t help but interject. The audience in the live broadcast room thought he was gone, and upon hearing his voice, they were all tagging him in the commentary.
Dashiell didn’t look at the commentary this time, but instead turned to Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett Jennings, can I go hit him now?"
He asked casually, his tone so light as if he were asking what’s for dinner that night. Scarlett barely managed to look up at him.
The surrounding staff didn’t even realize what he was about to do, only to see Dashiell move like a gust of wind and appear in front of Spencer Atkins without waiting for Scarlett’s reply, swinging his fist directly at his face.
Spencer Atkins was still trying to explain and didn’t realize what was happening before being knocked back onto his chair.
The incident happened so abruptly that everyone in the program group was dumbfounded.
The live broadcast audience was also shocked.
Before anyone could react to the sudden change, the next second they were kicked out of the broadcast room.
The broadcast was interrupted.
There was no choice but to interrupt, as it had escalated to physical violence.
Director Clark immediately called for the broadcast to stop, casting a slightly helpless glance at Dashiell, but it was just helplessness.
There really wasn’t much blame on him.
After all, those who flirt first are always the ones in the wrong. When Spencer Atkins saw someone attractive, he dared to make small moves even during a live broadcast, so it wasn’t surprising that the kid would lash out.
"Take Spencer Atkins down for some treatment of his wounds first, and then have his agent come over to see how to handle this,"
Director Clark spoke while glancing subtly at Scarlett Jennings.
After all, Dashiell was her protégé, and in case Spencer Atkins wanted to sue for assault, she would need to be prepared.
Scarlett Jennings understood the implication in Director Clark’s eyes and was just about to message Donovan Jennings for some help when Samuel Chalmers’s message arrived first.
[Samuel Chalmers: I will have my lawyer handle the situation of Dashiell hitting someone.]
It was obvious that Samuel Chalmers was aware of Dashiell being present in the filming of "Inspiration" and had been keeping an eye on it.
Samuel Chalmers likely guessed that Dashiell appeared at Scarlett Jennings’s live broadcast because of him, so now that he had hit someone live, Samuel Chalmers naturally couldn’t let the matter fall to Scarlett Jennings.
Although he didn’t think the young Flood Dragon was his responsibility, it wasn’t Scarlett Jennings’s responsibility either.
Scarlett was somewhat surprised to see Samuel’s message, not expecting the big boss to pay so much attention to a variety show.
Judging by his quick reaction, he must have been lurking in the live broadcast all along?
Imagining Samuel Chalmers putting aside work to seriously follow the live broadcast, Scarlett found it amusing for some reason.
Elsewhere, because the live broadcast had suddenly ended, a large number of viewers rushed to Weibo.
Soon, the hashtag #Spencer Atkins Hit in Live Broadcast# shot up to the second position on the trending list following the earlier hot search.
Besides some fans of Spencer Atkins who were simultaneously feeling heartbroken and scolding Dashiell for hitting someone without reason, the majority expressed that he deserved it.
They thought they’d have to wait for some time for online opinion to settle before seeing Spencer Atkins’s downfall, but the outcome was immediate the next minute.
It must be said, this was the fastest karma the netizens had ever witnessed.
Dylan Lester hadn’t emerged after posting his long article until the video of Spencer Atkins getting hit surfaced on the trending, and he quietly gave the video a thumbs-up.
The program group’s broadcast interruption led the official "Inspiration" Weibo to quickly issue an apology statement and announced that the live broadcast would be rescheduled for the next day.
Viewers, although feeling a bit disappointed, didn’t dwell on it, as the online situation was bustling, and everyone was busy eating the latest news.
Scarlett Jennings took Dashiell back to the residence. Dashiell had vaguely realized after the broadcast ended that he had caused trouble, but his demeanor remained confidently righteous.
Following Scarlett Jennings back, he had already thought of how to counter her scolding later.
However, Scarlett had no intention of reprimanding him. After sending him back to his room, she merely instructed,
"Stay put tonight. After the program group’s broadcast tomorrow, I’ll take you back to Sea City with me and let you see him."
He, no need to specify, Dashiell already knew.
He first looked at Scarlett in disbelief, and what followed was sheer surprise.
"Are you going to let me see him because I hit that guy?!"
Dashiell’s tone was filled with confidence, even thinking about hitting a few others to show her again.
Scarlett: ...
"Today’s just an exception. If there’s a next time, I guarantee you’ll never transform into a dragon in this lifetime!"
Scarlett’s words splashed over him like a bucket of water, dousing his excited heart instantly, looking at Scarlett in disbelief,
"You’re so vicious!"
Unable to transform, this was by far the most vicious curse he’d heard in his life as a Flood Dragon.
Meanwhile, in a neighborhood of Zhukou City, the closest city to North Mountain Village.
A girl, around eighteen or nineteen, stared at the online comments about Scarlett Jennings, while outside her room, the faint sound of a woman’s despairing screams could be heard.
The girl hesitated for a moment but finally decided to open Scarlett Jennings’s Weibo private messages and sent her a message.
