The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: The Curse of the Sixth Guest

The night before the third episode of the show aired, Scarlett Jennings received news from the Sea City Taoist Academy.

Due to the academy’s physical training requirements, all freshmen needed to report to the academy half a month early for a two-week intensive physical training.

Commonly known as military training.

After receiving the news, Scarlett was the first to tell Quincy Zimmerman and Director Clark about it when she arrived at the show.

"I can’t participate in the next two episodes."

With one sentence, it was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Quincy and Director Clark stunned.

It was known that after Scarlett’s identity as the Jennings Group heiress was revealed last episode, her online popularity remained consistently high.

Not to mention, over the past two episodes, Scarlett’s individual popularity and discussion were the highest among all the guests!

This performance couldn’t even be matched by the most popular guest, Sebastian Carew.

So when they heard Scarlett wouldn’t be participating in the next two episodes, the show staff were resolute.

"This, recording time is negotiable. Don’t just say you can’t do it."

Quincy tried to persuade her.

"Yeah, can’t you ask for leave with your academy? For military training, can’t you just get a proof and skip it? We can help you figure out how to get a proof."

Director Clark also suggested.

In his view, Scarlett was a girl, and there weren’t many girls who liked military training.

Especially since this summer was particularly hot.

Scarlett listened to their persuasion but remained unmoved. She just looked at the two and said,

"I can’t miss the academy’s early report."

She thought about it and seriously proposed,

"If taking leave from the show is difficult, I could just leave the show entirely and recommend another suitable Master as a substitute."

When Quincy and Director Clark heard she was considering leaving the show completely, their expressions were even more horrified than when they heard she wouldn’t be part of the next two episodes.

"No need!" Quincy expressed without hesitation,

"I’ll negotiate things on our end. Your education is important, and we’ll try our best to accommodate your schedule!"

Scarlett looked at Quincy, then at Director Clark, feeling somewhat uncertain, "Isn’t that pushing it?"

Upon hearing this, both of them shook their heads firmly, "Not at all, it’s common to take leave from variety shows. Your education is important; it’s not something you should easily miss."

Though they said this, the expressions of Quincy and Director Clark could only be described as forced smiles.

This atmosphere remained until the other guests arrived, and the live broadcast was about to start.

Aside from the original five guests, this episode’s new guest was not kept a secret by the show, but openly stood with the other guests waiting for the broadcast to start.

To everyone’s surprise, after the debacle with the sixth guest in the past two episodes, this episode’s replacement guest, Spencer Atkins, was quite renowned in the industry.

Spencer Atkins, a former child star, was only nineteen this year, yet he had been in the industry for fifteen years as a "veteran."

Additionally, he was an actor frequently cast as the young versions of lead characters in movies and TV dramas, making him a very familiar face in the industry.

In short, he had a great reputation with the general public.

Spencer had handsome features, and due to his age, he exuded a refreshing sense of youthfulness.

As such, once the broadcast began, viewers were instantly drawn to him.

"Hello everyone, I’m Spencer Atkins, very happy to join the ’Inspiration’ team. Please look after me, brothers and sisters."
