The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Rainmaking

The final comment flashed by, snapping the audience back from their shock of realizing, "The one messaging Scarlett Jennings is actually a female ghost."

They hadn’t forgotten that today’s three rounds of assistance mattered for the victory between Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander.

But...

"How can this be called cheating?"

"Exactly! Connections are a kind of strength too!"

"Isn’t the Ghost Network considered a strength? Would you dare to loudly claim it’s not?"

"I don’t care, in my eyes, my girl already won!"

"I admit Silly Xander has some skills, but in the third round, Scarlett definitely won."

"I mean, isn’t your favoritism a bit too obvious? Senior Brother Xander competed seriously, how would he feel seeing you all act like this? It’s really not right. So, Senior Brother Xander, have you prepared yourself to apologize to our Ariel?"

"The person upstairs almost made me raise my sword in anger!"

Most of the audience in the live stream unthinkingly took Scarlett Jennings’s side.

After all, if this were an ordinary competition, it would be fine, but the issue was that it was agreed in advance that if Scarlett Jennings lost, she would have to resign from the show!

For that reason, the audience couldn’t bear to see Scarlett Jennings lose.

After four episodes, anyone with eyes knew who was supporting this show; everyone had gotten used to following Scarlett Jennings’s rhythm in solving those bizarre incidents.

It’s not like they believed Scarlett Jennings was cheating.

Even if she did cheat today, their girl had to win!

Don’t ask, the answer is: unconditional adoration!

Gregory Xander watched the comments fly by in the live stream, his face showing little expression.

Among the silent guests in the live stream, it was Scarlett Jennings who first spoke up,

"This round’s request was to exchange his wife’s soul back, and strictly speaking, neither Senior Brother Xander nor I completed it, so this round is a tie."

Her voice was calm, as if she were merely stating a fact.

The live stream audience expressed their disapproval en masse.

They were urging her to take back her words immediately.

Gregory Xander’s originally expressionless face showed a slight frown at her words. He turned to look at her, his tone showing obvious displeasure,

"Are you pitying me?"

Scarlett Jennings met his gaze without expression, "I’m just stating facts."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for him to continue protesting. She simply turned to the camera and decisively said, "Let’s add another round."

Arguing was meaningless, since this round’s result would always leave grounds for talk.

If she won, they would claim she cheated; if she admitted defeat, they’d say she was being sympathetic.

Since there were already criticisms brewing, why not be straightforward and have another round while there was still time?

Director Clark naturally had no objection upon hearing this.

When the audience in the live stream heard there would be another round, they instantly expressed their readiness.

Gregory Xander hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then agreed.

Just as everyone was gearing up for a fourth extra round, the rarely appearing instructors and Leander approached.

"For the fourth round, why don’t I propose a challenge?"

Both of them held phones, indicating they had been watching the live stream all along.

Scarlett Jennings was evidently taken aback in the live stream, and the surrounding new students straightened their backs in attention when they saw the instructors approach.

Gregory Xander also stood up to greet the two teachers with a nod, then said,

"Then please, Teacher, propose the challenge."
