Chapter 159

Chapter 159 The police and the relevant authorities‘ follow-up investigation didn’t interfere with the shooting schedule of the show.

After a touch-up by the makeup artist to conceal the marks on her face, Mae returned to the live studio, ready to participate in the day’s filming as if nothing had happened.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Bagot was on the fence about whether to let Mae leave the show altogether. Mae’s mishap with the Ruby Bracelet had backfired, causing her to lose a significant number of followers online.

Though her die-hard fans were fiercely defending her, Mae’s online reputation had taken a hit, not to mention the lingering suspicion of her involvement with some bizarre, unexplained ritual before the police had cleared her name.

Considering how Naylor, a guest from the previous episode, had left midway through the show. Bagot realized that another mid— season departure could tarnish this season's reputation beyond repair. Successive guest “incidents” would make recruiting future participants nearly impossible.

After a lot of thought, Bagot chose to carry on as if everything was normal. The best course of action was to finish filming the current season.

The morning had been a whirlwind, with the police getting involved, but finally, around eleven o’clock, the show formally resumed its planned activities.

“Today, each of you needs to pair up with a couple and convince them to team up with you. We have a trail here at the inn that the original innkeepers, a lovely couple, used to walk. You can follow their route to Golden Horizon Hills or choose another path,” the host explained to the six participants.

“To save time, the production team has already secured a list of couples staying at the inn. You can choose your partners from this list,” the host continued, handing out the list to each guest. Mae, wanting to hide the nascent lines on her face, went for a full makeup look, transforming back into the glamorous girl that her fans adored.

But there was a noticeable difference from the day before, especially when she stood among the other guests. If the others were rocking a casual, understated look, Mae was all glitz and glam, as if she were ready to walk the red carpet.

The contrast was even more pronounced next to her partner for the day, Gentry. As ant esoteric blogger, Gentry wasn’t exactly unattractive, but he was far from polished. Standing beside Mae. their pairing was like oil and water.

Since they were undertaking separate tasks, the production had set up individual live-streaming rooms. Gentry’s fans started to grumble about their bad luck, having been paired with someone who was nearly in hot water over a covetous mistake. The combination

Chapter 159 just didn’t work, and many decided to exit the stream in search of more aesthetically pleasing duos. Meanwhile, Mae’s remaining fans were riled up by the comments from Gentry’s followers and began to retaliate.

The live chat quickly descended into a battleground between the two fan bases, driving away the casual viewers who had come for the show's content.

With viewers fleeing the toxicity. Mae and Gentry’s stream numbers dwindled to a sad few. leaving only the most loyal fans. Bagot couldn’t bear to watch and turned his attention to the

other streams.

Candace and Mervin, another pair of participants, were quick off the mark, knocking on the doors of a couple from the provided list. The door was answered by a pair of excited college sweethearts, especially the girl who was a self-proclaimed fan of Candace.

“Candy. Oh my gosh, I’m a huge fan. Are you here for the task?” the girl squealed, her phone streaming the very show she was now part of.

Candace, realizing the opportunity, flashed her best smile and asked, “Since you're already in the know, would you and your boyfriend like to join us for the rest of the task?”

There was no hesitation. The fangirl agreed eagerly, and her boyfriend had little choice but to follow suit. The duo had easily secured their target couple and were ready to take on the challenge ahead.

Back in the live chat, Candace’s supporters were ecstatic, cheering her on and hoping for a win alongside Mervin.

Amidst the cheering, some viewers, intrigued by the drama, clicked over to Winnie and Kane’s stream. The chemistry between the two was undeniable, and the newcomers quickly acknowledged that the fans had not exaggerated the pair’s allure.

As the viewership numbers fluctuated and loyalties shifted, the reality show continued to unfold, with each pair of participants navigating their own unique set of challenges and adventures.

Winnie had always been a knockout, but with a professional makeup crew working their magic. she was now the epitome of effortless beauty. Standing next to Kane on camera, they were a feast for the eyes, a real treat for anyone who appreciated good looks.

But a pretty face didn’t always mean good fortune. They had already approached two couples with their questions, only to be turned down flat. Not everyone was keen on broadcasting their romance to a national audience online.

Just when it seemed like their luck had run out, Kane’s sharp eyes caught sight of a man and woman strolling into the courtyard through the gate. Despite the sweltering heat, the woman had her arm looped through the man’s, their closeness suggesting an intimate bond.
