The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Trending Again

From the moment Scarlett Jennings started speaking, the barrage of comments in the livestream chat almost came to a stop.

It wasn’t until she finished uncovering the truth behind the so-called "breakup curse" of the homestay that everyone released the breath they had been holding, followed by overwhelming cursing,

"I thought I believed in love again, but reality is even more disgusting than I imagined!"

"Isn’t this blatantly profiting from others’ misfortunes?!"

"Those girls you deceived were so unlucky!"

"I’m devastated, she said the wife held a longing for the boss, truly to accompany him, yet she witnessed his betrayal step by step!"

"I always felt the persona this homestay owner created was a bit deliberate, can’t understand how so many people got fooled?"

"Isn’t he just a scumbag?!"

The more people had admired the homestay owner’s deep emotion online before, the harsher they cursed now.

Grayson Crawford stood dumbfounded from the moment Scarlett Jennings exposed how he exploited these girls’ sympathy to sleep with them, his entire body tense.

He felt the looks directed at him from those around, filled with disdain or scorn.

Though they no longer suspected him of harming his wife, those looks still bothered him deeply.

Facing the livestream camera, he knew he was done for this time.

Yet he wasn’t willing to admit defeat just like that.

Grayson Crawford was unwilling to accept this.

What did he do wrong?

He simply told stories online, and those girls willingly came to his bed. He didn’t scam or entice anyone, and he specifically selected girls over eighteen.

Everything he did wasn’t legally wrong.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a bit, quickly adjusted his expression, trying to salvage his image in front of netizens.

"What you said... I can’t deny it, I truly did those things."

He said, then sharply changed his tone,

"But I didn’t break the law or kill anyone, I merely did what any normal man would do! After all, I have my needs, isn’t that normal? I wouldn’t even call this infidelity!"

From a man’s viewpoint, Grayson Crawford’s words quickly gained agreement from male netizens.

What he said wasn’t wrong, one couldn’t expect him to stay alone forever just because of being widowed, right?

Considering other widowers and their relationships over the years, even getting remarried would have been seen as normal.

The comments in the livestream chat began swaying toward supporting him.

Until Ariel Zimmerman jumped out to directly refute him,

"Stop twisting concepts here! What do you mean by normal? Being in a relationship based on mutual consent is normal. But deceiving girls online with a romantic persona while having relationships with them—that’s cheating!"

Ariel Zimmerman completely dropped her demure persona and went for Grayson,
