Love

Chapter 21

Janet tried her best to control her emotions and maintain her gentle persona. However, as time passed, more and more comments about her having a child out of wedlock and when she would get married flooded the chat. Everyone was pressing her, and it was taking everything she had not to snap.

Beside her, Karen also saw the comments. She was furious, blaming Rebecca for everything. If Rebecca hadn’t married Theodore, and it had been Janet instead, none of this would be happening!

Seeing her daughter’s mood worsen, Karen instinctively wanted to protect her. She said, “Alright, Janet, take a break. Work is important, but your health comes first.”

Karen pulled her daughter away from the camera, making the comments disappear from view.

“Get some rest, honey,” Karen murmured, draping a blanket over Janet. “You’ll be on set when you wake up.”

In Room Four, there were plenty of loyal fans of Janet. Hearing Karen express concern for her daughter, they felt empathetic and quickly offered comfort.

[Janie, take a break and don’t worry about the chat. Take care of your health.]

[That’s right, Janie just recovered from giving birth. She needs to rest now. Give her a break, everyone. Stop questioning her.]

[Another day of loving Janie! You’ve got this!]

Where there were loyal fans, there were also haters who didn’t miss a chance to attack.

[Are you just dodging the questions?]

Are you

[An unmarried mother, and still no news of a wedding. sure Theodore will marry you?]

Someone burst out laughing: [I’ve heard the rich have all kinds of games. Maybe Mr. Edwards just used her for a kid and is gonna dump her now.]

Karen calmed her daughter down and let her Sleep but couldn’t resist checking the live chat again. However, the insults she saw this time made her face darken with anger.

Karen opened her mouth, ready to argue with the haters, but before she could, Janet woke up and subtly pulled her back. Karen suddenly calmed down. She restrained herself from arguing with those haters.

Rooms Four and Five had the most controversy, but the other three also managed to attract some viewers.

Especially in Room One, where the guests were sports star Jayden and his three-year-old daughter, Daphne.

Chapter 31

Daphne was small and adorable with her bright eyes, captivating the audience as she constantly followed the cameraman around, peppering him with questions in her sweet, high voice.

She was also very polite, often asking if his equipment was heavy. Many viewers were charmed by this adorable. and considerate little girl, choosing to stay and watch Room One just to see more of her.

Meanwhile, in Room Two, Phoebe, the teen singer that was the nation’s sweetheart, appeared with her beloved grandpa. Their heartwarming dynamic drew in even more of her loyal old lady fans.

In Room Three, the guests were B-list celebrity Lesley and her little sister Angie.

Lesley’s performance in the entertainment industry had been mediocre. It was not her own talent that brought her to this show, but the fact that she was in the same company as the superstar Janet.

This was Janet’s first gig since having her baby. Her company was super worried about her, so they’d brought Lesley in to be on the show with her and help her in case anything went wrong.

The idea was to make sure Janet didn’t screw anything up, so her big comeback would be perfect.

Obviously, getting on this reality show was a huge deal for Lesley. If she could just nail it, it could be her chance to make a name for herself. Lesley cherished this opportunity greatly.

However, while Lesley wanted to do her best, she had some personal a p to deal with, like those rumors about her plastic surgery.

In Room Three, everyone compared her face to that of her sister. Some even said that while her sister wasn’t

conventionally beautiful, she had a look that grew on them. In contrast, they criticized Lesley’s “frozen” face, saying she had ruined her looks.

Lesley was furious, almost ready to lash out, but she had to hold it in.

She tried hard to control her expression, smiling for the camera and chatting with her fans, doing her best to create a positive atmosphere and attract more followers.

Five groups of guests, each with their own car, were escorted to the filming location. Behind them trailed a dozen more vehicles packed with crew members.

This motorcade, stretching over a mile, headed towards the mountains.

They drove for hours, crossing county lines, until they finally reached their destination – Ember Ridge!

Ember Ridge was deep in the mountains, at the foot of the dense forest. There stood several dilapidated houses quietly, and smoke was gently rising from one of the kitchens.

The cars stopped one by one, and everyone got out of their vehicles.

Chapter 21

“Daddy, it’s so beautiful here!” the three-year-old Daphne exclaimed, getting out of the car. Her sweet voice rang out as she eagerly ran ahead. She really liked it here.

Jayden hurriedly followed his daughter to prevent her from falling.

Phoebe and her grandpa, Tamron, stepped out of the car. The rustic charm of the mountain village took their breath away. Phoebe’s eyes sparkled with delight while Tamron’s face softened with nostalgia.

“Grandpa, these houses are just like the one you used to live in! Made of mud bricks and everything!” Phoebe exclaimed in her clear voice.

Tamron chuckled and nodded. “Yes, indeed. We all lived in houses like these back in the day. It’s been ages since I last saw them. Never thought I’d come across them again.”

Phoebe beamed. “See, Grandpa? I told you this show wouldn’t let you down. You get to relive your childhood memories!”

The other three groups were all adults. Lesley and her sister Angie only noticed the village’s poverty and disrepair. Many of the houses had spider webs hanging from the eaves, and they were terrified of bugs.

Lesley instinctively clutched her arms, her eyes wide with fear and disgust. “We’re filming here? It’s so run-down. Won’t there be bugs everywhere?”

“I know, right?” Angie chimed in, her voice even more panicked than her sister’s. “Who could possibly live in a place like this? Did the crew get the location wrong?”
