Janet couldn’t believe her eyes. She rubbed them and looked again, realizing that the people in Room Five were indeed Rebecca and Charlie. This was real, not a dream or some weird hallucination.
‘But what the heck is Rebecca doing in Charlie’s livestream?”
Janet felt absurd as she kept watching and heard Charlie introduce Rebecca as his fan.
‘How could Rebecca be Charlie’s fan? No way! And how could she be the lucky winner everyone’s been buzzing
about?
“Wait a minute… Did Rebecca know I was going to be on this show? Did she somehow rig this, pretend to be a fan so she could join me on the reality show?”
Janet stared at the livestream with a burning gaze, her face growing increasingly grim.
“Janie?” Karen looked at her daughter, puzzled.
She glanced at her watch and anxiously reminded, “Janie, we’re running late. We should get going, right? Let’s not keep everyone waiting.”
In the entertainment industry, the worst thing was to act like a diva. They’d timed their arrival to the minute, planning to head straight from the airport to the event. But Janie had been playing on her phone for so long that Karen was starting to get worried.
Janet’s face was cold as she glared at Rebecca through the phone screen. She put away her phone, calmed herself down, and walked out with a sweet smile.
Karen finally sighed in relief, but just as Janet put her phone away, Karen caught a glimpse of a familiar face on the screen. ‘Is that Rebecca? Isn’t Janie supposed to go to a reality show? Why’s she looking at a picture of Rebecca
now?”
Karen was puzzled, but Janet had already walked away, so she hurriedly followed.
Once outside, Karen soon understood. Rebecca was also part of the show, and she was standing next to Charlie!
Over at Edwards Manor, Sam and Melissa were also watching the show. Young people’s reality shows weren’t really their thing, but Janet had given birth to their great–grandchild. The baby was just a month old, and she had taken him with her for work. They wanted to see their great–grandson!
Janet had joined the film crew. Sam and Melissa, who were too old for long–distance travel, were desperate to catch a glimpse of their great–grandson. When they had some free time, they couldn’t resist watching Janet’s

show.
They had the maid put the live feed of the film crew up on the TV screen, ready to see the reality show Janet was filming.
Melissa and Sam were only interested in Janet, so the maid pulled up her individual stream.
At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But then Janet stepped outside the airport, and as the camera followed her, it briefly caught Rebecca in the background. Both Sam and Melissa were stunned!
Melissa was terrified. She stood up nervously and moved closer to the screen for a better look. “Is that Rebecca?
that her?!”
Sam nodded. “Yeah, that’s Rebecca!”
of
They were both a bit confused. After a moment, they realized what was going on and became panic.
Melissa said anxiously, “Why is Rebecca there? Isn’t this where Janet is recording her show?”
Sam also realized something was off. His already furrowed brows tightened even more.
“Melissa, call Theodore and ask him what’s going on,” Sam calmly instructed Melissa at the next second.
“Yes, sure!” Melissa hurriedly nodded.
She was so anxious that her hands were trembling. She took out her phone, slowly scrolled through her conta list, found Theodore’s number, and called him.
Theodore was in his office, buried in paperwork when his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, and was surprised to see it was his grandmother.
He was puzzled but still quickly answered the call.
“Grandma?” Theodore asked, confused.
As soon as Melissa heard Theodore’s voice, she franticly said, “Theodore, you need to check on something. Y grandpa and I were watching Janet’s show, and we saw Rebecca on the livestream!
“Why is Rebecca on the same show with Janet? Hurry and find out what’s going on!” Melissa urged.
Theodore’s face darkened upon hearing the news. He had a bad feeling about this.
He immediately turned on his computer to check the recent shows Janet had been filming and found out th Glimpse into Our Family” had just started live streaming today. It was already blowing up online.

He found the show and opened the live broadcast. On the main page, there were the thumbnails for five live
rooms.
At that moment, Room Five’s mystery guest was revealed. The main page banner had been updated. While the other guests‘ posters remained unchanged, Room Five’s now featured Charlie and Rebecca together.
Theodore spotted Rebecca instantly! ‘Rebecca? What is she doing here?”
Seeing her with Charlie, Theodore’s mind immediately jumped to the children’s surname…
Rebecca didn’t let the children have the surname Edwards or Mitchell. Yet, strangely, they’d been given the last
name Carter, ‘What’s up with this Carter?‘
Without hesitation, Theodore switched directly to Room Five.
The livestream showed Rebecca and Charlie already in the production car, headed to the filming location.
Theodore took out his phone and dialed Rebecca’s number.
Debra had hailed a cab and followed the production crew behind, bringing along the two kids and two nannies. They were all sitting in the car, following the crew’s vehicle.
Actors were not allowed to bring their phones during filming, so Rebecca’s phone was with Debra.
Suddenly, Rebecca’s phone started ringing. Debra was a bit surprised and looked down at the phone.
It was Theodore calling.
Debra stared at the screen, stunned. Then, she looked away, pretending not to notice,
‘Just a scumbag. Why is he bothering Becky? And he’s not even divorcing!”
If Theodore agreed to divorce Becky immediately, she’d drag Becky to the courthouse herself and get it over as fast
as possible!
Theodore waited for a long time, but no one answered his call. In the livestream, Rebecca was quiet. There were livestream, Rebecca was quiet. There were no sounds from her phone or any other noise around her.
She and Charlie sat in a car together, barely talking.
But something was off about Charlie. He kept staring at Rebecca, his eyes filled with a deep affection that made Theodore’s blood boil!
