Chapter 298: Chapter 298 Scarlett Jennings’s Troubles

"Scarlett, don’t you want to ask something?"

For example, how to deal with the public reaction, or how to manage the PR in such situations?

Scarlett Jennings looked at her seriously and asked, "Ask what?"

Ariel Zimmerman almost died from frustration.

"Aren’t you worried? Celebrities getting exposed for dating can definitely affect their fame afterward."

Especially since Scarlett has been dominating most of the media traffic these past two months, if someone takes advantage of this news to smear her, it’s not impossible.

Hearing this, Scarlett was somewhat puzzled. "I’m not a celebrity."

She was a Master.

Ariel never expected her concern to be in this area, leaving her momentarily stunned. "Do you misunderstand your current national recognition?"

From initial doubts about the show’s script to now, most people know and even accept the existence of mysticism.

This is mainly because of Scarlett Jennings!

With her current fame online, she was not a celebrity but better than one!

Seeing Scarlett still calm and unaffected, Ariel suddenly calmed down as well.

Her first reaction to seeing the Weibo trending topic was panic.

Mainly because she instinctively placed herself in that situation; when popular celebrities get involved in such news, regardless of its truth, fans are guaranteed to have a meltdown.

That’s why she hurriedly rushed over upon seeing the news.

Now that she thought about it, she realized she was indeed overthinking.

Scarlett was not like her.

Not to mention Scarlett Jennings’ status and background were there, even if there were rumors, she didn’t rely on media traffic and fans to make a living.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed there really wasn’t anything significant.

Realizing her unnecessary worry, Ariel suddenly felt her energy drain.

Scarlett looked at her and smiled slightly.

She hadn’t participated in this program with any expectations.

But being able to meet a friend who treated her genuinely was something Scarlett felt fortunate about.

See, she wasn’t as peculiar as Emma White said, to the point where no one wanted to be friends with her, right?

"Don’t worry."

Having gone through these episodes, Scarlett also understood the so-called patterns of online trending topics.

They might make a fuss for a few days, but soon they would be replaced by other trending topics.

It was repetitive.

And she didn’t care much.

After all, everything would pass.

Ariel, hearing her calm tone, assumed someone in her family must be helping her handle it, and at the very least, Star Entertainment, which Scarlett was affiliated with, would deal with it.

Just like the last time, when the Jennings Group and Star Entertainment issued statements simultaneously.

Thinking this, Ariel stopped worrying.

Then she turned her curiosity to the guy in the photo.

"So that guy is really your boyfriend? When you Masters find boyfriends, do they also look for fellow Masters? Is he from the Mystical Sect?"

Ariel, filled with gossip and curiosity, bombarded her with three questions, her eyes brimming with curiosity and gossip.

Scarlett responded uniformly with three words.

"He is not."

Not a boyfriend,

Not a Master,

And definitely not someone from the Mystical Sect.

Ariel only assumed she answered the last question, continuing to ask, "Then what does he do? How did you meet?"

Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "He’s a friend of my brother."

Ariel’s eyes instantly lit up, several words immediately popping into her head.

Second-generation wealthy!

Strong alliances!

Handsome men and beautiful women!

This was far more interesting than the love between a mystical girl and a Master!

Seeing that Ariel still intended to gossip further, Scarlett glanced at her half-done makeup, reminding her,

"Aren’t you going to finish your makeup?"

The show’s staff would be coming over for the live broadcast soon; being seen like this wouldn’t be good.

Hearing this, Ariel suddenly remembered and hurriedly covered her face.

"Ahhh! I almost forgot!"

Saying this, she turned around, opened the door, and rushed back to her room.

Scarlett thought that was the end of it.

She didn’t expect that right after changing her clothes, Donovan Jennings’ call came in.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked,

"Are you really dating Samuel Chalmers?"

Others might not see it, but he knew Samuel Chalmers better, recognizing him just from the silhouette.

That’s why he was even more skeptical about this so-called online romance.

If it were anyone else, it would definitely be a misunderstanding.

But Samuel Chalmers...

Recalling the scene he’d seen in the study last time, Donovan almost couldn’t restrain the coldness in his eyes.

Even though Scarlett explained it last time, his instincts told him there was something fishy between those two.

Not to mention, Samuel Chalmers wasn’t the type to help out such circumstances warmly!

"No, we’re not dating."

Scarlett answered bluntly and countered, "Wasn’t it you who told him to come see me?"

On the other end of the phone, Donovan was eerily silent for a moment.

After a long pause, Scarlett heard him respond in a slightly odd tone,

"He said I told him to find you?"

"Wasn’t it?"

Scarlett was puzzled, then heard Donovan give a light laugh on the other end, it was light, and... slightly dangerous?

"Heh..."

Before she could pursue it further, Donovan had already resumed a gentle tone, asked a few questions about her situation, then ended the call.

Scarlett vaguely sensed something.

But she didn’t overthink it.

Even if Samuel Chalmers wasn’t instructed by Donovan to come see her, there must be another reason.

As for why he didn’t say...

A big shot always has his reasons.

She originally thought that explaining to Donovan would conclude everything.

However, shortly after, Luca Jennings also called her. He cautiously and seriously inquired about her dating situation, the person’s integrity, and so on.

Although her daughter always appeared very independent and mature, she was only eighteen.

Eighteen, a blooming age,

Also the age most susceptible to encountering scumbags.

Having missed out on participating in her child’s upbringing and education, Luca Jennings would spare no effort to take the chance to have a say in his daughter’s affairs, regardless of how busy he was.

If needed, he could meet the other party’s parents.

Scarlett: ...

After finally ending Luca Jennings’ call, it wasn’t long before she received several more inquiries on WeChat.

Besides her third uncle and aunt, Old Sir Jiang, Alicia Sharp, and the Silva couple all came to ask about the authenticity of the online news. After finding out it was false, they inquired if she needed help handling it.

Looking at the messages on her phone, Scarlett couldn’t help but wonder when she’d gotten so many people worrying about her love life.

Though a bit puzzled, she didn’t dislike the feeling at all.

After looking through all the messages on her phone, the only one that remained quiet was the other protagonist’s WeChat.

Scarlett hesitated about whether she should say something to him.

Luckily, the photo online didn’t capture Samuel Chalmers’ face, otherwise, he’d probably be annoyed with her.

Last night she almost got him tangled with Sophie Harper, and today she’s on trending again...

Lost in thought, the chat avatar of Samuel Chalmers suddenly lit up.

[Samuel Chalmers: I’ve already had someone handle the trending topic, don’t worry about the live broadcast.]

Feeling a slight tremor at her heart, Scarlett looked at the message he sent for a long while before typing back a reply.

[Okay.]
