The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Scarlett Jennings Apologizes

It wasn’t surprising that Auntie was asking this, given that her daughter-in-law had been unable to conceive for a while. She had been praying at every temple she passed and had visited nearly a dozen different places, often whispering a few words to the ancestors worshiped at home in her spare time.

Most people in the village were like this, though they didn’t truly take it to heart. So when the child was born, she merely felt that her sincerity had paid off, without considering which kind person might have actually blessed her. Naturally, she hadn’t thought about repaying the divine favor.

Now she didn’t even know where to go to fulfill such a vow.

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t an expert on these matters either. With the decline of divine power in modern times, there were very few temples that truly held divine protection.

However, places that have long been visited by worshippers would gather a certain degree of spiritual power, even if there were no gods present.

Those who truly achieved their wishes were those who, through a stroke of luck, were touched by this bit of faith.

Having received others’ belief, it was only natural to reciprocate with faith.

Only by fulfilling the vow could the thin power of belief avoid dispersing.

As she thought this, Scarlett’s gaze fell on the child in her aunt’s arms, who was still crying and fidgeting. She reached out and gently brushed the child’s cheek with her fingertip, saying,

"If you’re not sure who it was, then repay each one. Don’t worry about the trouble, taking him to more places will help him gather good fortune."

What was astonishing to everyone was that, under Scarlett Jennings’s gentle touch, the previously crying child gradually stopped sobbing.

His sparkling grape-like eyes looked at her, and although there were still tears at the corners, a smile had already spread across his face.

Scarlett’s hand paused slightly. Looking at that clear smiling face, she couldn’t help but show a bit of softness in her eyes.

Because of Scarlett Jennings’s incident, many villagers wanted to seize the opportunity to have her look at their own situations. The village chief noticed this happening and Scarlett was almost surrounded by villagers, until the village chief and the show’s crew teamed up to rescue her.

Seeing that things in North Mountain Village were almost resolved, Director Clark chose a scenic spot to allow the guests to start their live-stream interaction segment early.

After the previous two episodes, the guests were already familiar with this segment. Amber Livingston directly took over the hosting duties.

Due to the unpleasantness before, Spencer Atkins intentionally kept his distance from Scarlett Jennings and Dashiell that entire afternoon.

In the eyes of his fans, it seemed their beloved star had suffered a great injustice.

Thus, the moment the live-stream interaction began, the screen was flooded with comments insulting Scarlett Jennings and Dashiell.

Although Director Clark had arranged for moderation, Spencer Atkins’s fans appeared to be on cue, repeatedly releasing waves of insults.

Spencer initially felt satisfied but tried to maintain a troubled appearance, advising to the camera,

"My dear fans, I know you feel I’ve been wronged and I truly appreciate your support, but please control yourself during the live broadcast. Don’t make trouble for the production team.

I’ve said before that it’s all a misunderstanding, and it’s truly not Scarlett’s or Dashiell’s fault. Please stop the insults."

Spencer earnestly pleaded that it was a misunderstanding, though his words insinuated he’d been wronged. But, because he prioritized the bigger picture, he chose not to fuss.

He knew full well that the more he spoke this way, the more his fans would feel for him.

Consequently, the fans in the stream stopped hurling insults.

They began to make "reasonable" demands instead.

[We can stop with the insults, but Scarlett Jennings must apologize publicly!]

[Yes! Apologize!]
