Chapter 124: Chapter 124 The Principled Swindler Chapter 124: Chapter 124 The Principled Swindler Although Scarlett Jennings saw through Amber Livingston’s disguise, she had no intention of exposing him. For one thing, everyone had their own survival tactics, and she wouldn’t expose his tricks for the sake of so-called “justice.” Doing things that were thankless often brought resentment. Moreover, this was a reality show recording; if reality shows could have scripts, why couldn’t a social media influencer have their own persona? If he managed to maintain his persona, that was also his skill. For another, what Scarlett had previously learned about Amber online was mostly him helping fans with emotional issues. If someone needed medical help, he wouldn’t sell them fake Talisman Water but instead actively encouraged them to go to the hospital. Overall, he was a scam artist with principles. Whether an online persona was real or fake, who could really say who was truly a scammer? Lastly, she was pleased with the excuse he gave as the “Immortal Fox.” The Garrison Family, weren’t they suffering now because they didn’t do good things in the past? ... The Garrison Family members who were called out turned pale after seeing the “departure” of the Immortal Fox. Seeing Amber had returned to his original simple and honest state, they couldn’t help but step forward, their attitude no longer dismissive. Their tone carried a hint of pleading, “Amber Livingston, Master, could you please help again, speak to the Immortal Fox on my family’s behalf? We really need her help.” Even though Josiah Garrison lowered his stance, Amber remained steady and shook his head honestly, “If the Immortal Fox doesn’t want to do something, I can’t persuade her. Asking again wouldn’t get her attention.” As he spoke, he didn’t forget to glance at the three Garrison members, then advised sincerely, “Instead of begging the Immortal Fox to intervene, why not reflect on your own issues?” He saw through them. The Garrison Family was not simple. Adding Scarlett’s previous attitude and words, it was clear the Garrison Family had done some wrongs that led to this situation. Not to mention he didn’t have any real skills in summoning immortals. In front of the livestream cameras, he naturally had to maintain his reputation first. Anyway, he had already tried his best. Now that the request for help had failed, it wasn’t his problem. Amber Livingston was very open about this. The production team, however, was in a bit of a bind. Three people said they couldn’t help, and Ariel Zimmerman and Sebastian Carew were mainly there for their popularity, so naturally, they didn’t possess the ability to solve the Garrison’s problem. Josiah Garrison seemingly realized this too, but since he was prepared in his heart, although he briefly held out hope for the so-called Immortal Fox, having lost that hope, he straightforwardly turned his eyes back to Scarlett Jennings. “Scarlett... can you...” “No,” Scarlett Jennings refused almost without hesitation. Some viewers in the livestream room thought Scarlett Jennings’s attitude was heartless. But some others thought Scarlett Jennings’s refusal was refreshing. “Yesterday you treated me like trash, today you can’t reach me anymore!” “Don’t say our girl isn’t compassionate, it’s clear she doesn’t get along with this family, so why should she be morally hostage?” “So what’s the deal between Missy and the Garrison Family? Curious, want to know the drama.” Josiah Garrison was rejected again, and Emma White, who had been holding back, couldn’t resist jumping out directly. Unlike Josiah, Emma didn’t have as many concerns. Scarlett clearly showed she didn’t want anything to do with the Garrison Family, and Emma was determined not to let her have her way! With this in mind, Emma put on a heartbroken look and looked disappointingly at Scarlett Jennings, “Scarlett! Are you really going to watch our family die? I didn’t want to say this on camera, but you’ve gone too far!” “Josiah treated you like a sister from childhood, the Garrison Family raised you for eighteen years, our whole family treated you as one of our own. Even if you don’t appreciate that, considering the upbringing the family gave you, are you really planning to leave the family to die?” Emma’s words shocked the viewers in front of the cameras and those in the livestream room. Nobody expected Scarlett Jennings and the Garrison Family to have such a relationship! Scarlett Jennings was the Garrison Family’s adopted daughter! The Garrison Family raised her for eighteen years! The grace of nurturing was greater than the heavens. Originally, the viewers who thought Scarlett Jennings was holding a divine retribution script couldn’t help feeling Scarlett was too cold and ruthless. “If she couldn’t help it’s one thing. But being able to help and refusing, especially to the family that raised her for eighteen years, Scarlett Jennings went too far!” “This twist shocked me, Missy, while you are indeed impressive, I side with the Garrison Family on this one!” “This is family. Even without blood ties, they raised you to be as outstanding as you are!” “Now I understand why people previously called her ungrateful. Isn’t this the definition of ungrateful?” “Hey, wasn’t the girl saying she couldn’t help from the start? Why are you all morally pressuring her here?” “The Garrison’s problem doesn’t look small, they used to say Scarlett Jennings was all talk, now why does everyone think she’s all-powerful?” “Even if she truly can’t help, her attitude shouldn’t be like this! That’s her adoptive mother! Doesn’t anyone understand that nurturing trumps birth?” “I was starting to become a fan of Scarlett Jennings, now I’m directly anti.” “Am I the only one curious about what the Garrison Family did to make Scarlett Jennings hate the family that raised her so much?” “Even the grace of nurturing has levels, haven’t we seen in the news those who openly show love but secretly abuse their adopted daughters?” These comments pulled the audience back to reason a bit. But soon, someone noticed a problem. “Hey? Why do these IDs look so familiar? Weren’t you all the ones nitpicking Scarlett Jennings before? Why are you talking back now?” “Now that you mention it, these two IDs are familiar, did the haters get won over? Is Scarlett Jennings that powerful?” The haters in front of their screens: ... They weren’t, they weren’t won over. They had no idea why. When the boss who hired them initially approached, there was one clear aim— Find every angle to slander and criticize Scarlett Jennings! They had been diligently smearing her all along. Now suddenly a huge damaging point emerged, and just as they were ready to exploit it, the boss urgently ordered them. They could use any angle to attack her, but they were absolutely forbidden from attacking the Garrison Family issue. Not only forbidden but also helped to turn around the condemnatory voices against her online. These haters had never encountered such a boss, but he who pays the piper calls the tune. Turning on a dime was fine by them. They were professional trolls, no face to lose.
