Chapter 921: Chapter 921
The livestream fell into a blackout.
Previously, the surge in excitement was when Franklin Nova and the two female guests all spat out black blood simultaneously.
But Scarlett Jennings’ decisive maneuver to shut down the machine almost caused millions of viewers to lose their cool.
How could the broadcast end halfway ?!
What did all their loyal watching and safeguarding amount to?!
Viewers frantically spammed the blackout screen, then took to the comment section of "Heartbeat Moment"’s official blog.
In less than a minute, the official blog of "Heartbeat Moment" was flooded. Newest update provıded by novel⚑fire.net
Although the lively turmoil didn’t quite match the disaster livestream back in Sea City, it wasn’t far off.
The online audience went mad, and of course, Director Gao received the news immediately.
The producer beside him couldn’t help but furrow his brows,
"Even if it’s a privacy issue, there’s no need to turn off the camera. The audience is unhappy."
Then asked Director Gao,
"Should we have the camera team restart it?"
After initial silence, Director Gao decisively commanded,
"There must be a reason why Master Jennings shut down the camera; let’s follow her lead and end the broadcast. We’ll deal with Evelyn Wright and Franklin Nova’s situation first before anything else."
He then instructed his assistant to urgently post an announcement from the official blog to appease the audience.
With Director Gao’s indication, other cameramen also closed their lenses and earpieces.
The stream was completely closed off, and the online cries were thoroughly isolated outside the villa.
At this moment, Holden Wright looked at Scarlett Jennings nervously, unable to believe what he heard.
There’s another curse on Evelyn?
"Master Jennings, what is this other curse you’re talking about? Did someone place two curses on Vivian?"
Scarlett shook her head,
"The second curse wasn’t placed by him, but it’s indeed related to him."
"The curse seems more like one brought from the Soul Fetus. We’ll need to investigate what kind of curse it is."
What she didn’t say was that after the Peach Blossom Gu disappeared, the dark peach pink originally seen on Evelyn also vanished.
Therefore, Scarlett finally saw the fate concealed by the dark peach pink.
Between Evelyn and Franklin Nova, there was actually a marriage line connecting them.
But unlike the typical red marriage lines others have, this line was distinctly black, connecting to the Soul Fetus, resembling a marriage forcibly bound after death.
Scarlett had seen posthumous yin marriages forcibly binding a union but never a marriage meant to bind someone from the next life.
Of course, there were those who, wishing to be married in their next lives, used some Forbidden Technique to bind their future marriage in advance.
It was akin to creating a forced pledge for three lifetimes and three worlds.
Similar to when the Ghost King sought out Sebastian Carew, the difference being that both of the people in front of her were human.
Matters of past lives can’t be discerned by appearance; to understand their past-life entanglements and the specifics of the curse on Evelyn, one must check their past-life records.
Within a hundred years, Spiritual Affairs’ records can be accessed.
Luckily, as an employee halfway into Spiritual Affairs, Scarlett can apply for this privilege.
While discussing, Evelyn heard them but seemed to lose her mind, loudly declaring,
"Don’t wrong Franklin! He didn’t curse me! I won’t let you take him away!"
Facing Scarlett, her voice was firm and decisive, her whole body blocking in front of him, not budging an inch,
"I’m genuine about him. From the first glance, I knew he was my destined husband. I can only stay by his side this life..."
As Evelyn spoke, she looked at Holden Wright, her expression filled with pain and struggle,
"Holden, I know I’ve let you down. Please make this happen for me. Don’t let Master Jennings take him away!"
While she spoke of longing for his blessing, her eyes were full of struggle and pleading.
Holden’s heart ached but he dared not provoke her into an excessive reaction, contemplating soothing her with words.
Suddenly, the small Crocodile Tortoise by Scarlett’s feet flew up, causing a strange Black Mist to engulf Evelyn’s head.
[Blabbering nonsense, obstructing official duties!]
The next moment, the Black Mist dispersed, and Evelyn, who had been blocking Franklin Nova, collapsed gently.
Seeing this, Holden hurriedly stepped forward to support her, looking at Scarlett in shock.
Listening to Shellback grumble in her mind, Scarlett’s face remained calm,
"She’s fine, just temporarily asleep."
"I need to take Franklin Nova for a preliminary investigation first, then I’ll return to resolve matters concerning Evelyn. You can take her home first, and I will come to you."
Hearing Scarlett’s words, Holden finally relaxed, hugging Evelyn in his arms, solemnly and earnestly said to her,
"I’m entrusting everything to you."
Scarlett nodded. Shortly after, people from the Security Bureau arrived, taking Franklin Nova away for investigation.
Scarlett went to see Director Gao again.
Though Director Gao had previously mentioned she could proceed as she wished, she indeed disrupted the program’s livestream and publicly unveiled Franklin Nova’s scheme. Whether the show can continue is another matter.
Listening to her intentions, Director Gao waved dismissively, unconcerned,
"You were invited to solve problems, and although the broadcast was interrupted, you at least salvaged some of the show’s reputation."
Otherwise, had it continued, her show would have been reported for a flawed sense of ethics and moral boundaries.
People unaware might think this was scripted.
Although future troubles remain, they won’t affect her reputation in the industry.
At worst, she’ll start a new show.
Just... she glanced at Scarlett regretfully.
The new show likely won’t have her as a guest.
It seemed she’d never be destined for explosive popularity.
Internal regret aside, she didn’t forget to ask,
"Regarding Evelyn’s curse, can our show continue to follow up? Because of the interrupted broadcast, I owe the audience an explanation."
"We won’t livestream this time, just film the recording. Parts unsuitable for broadcast will not be aired."
Scarlett didn’t immediately agree, she only said,
"This involves Evelyn’s privacy; it’s not up to me. But if you truly want to give the audience an explanation, you can seek Evelyn’s opinion once she returns to normal."
Meaning the filming can proceed, but whether it airs is up to the involved party.
Director Gao sighed in relief, "No problem!"
Filming is adequate; if Evelyn ultimately refuses to broadcast, it can’t be helped.
After bidding farewell to the crew, Scarlett headed back with Samuel Chalmers to her small courtyard, spending time examining records related to Evelyn and Franklin Nova’s past lives.
However, the outcome was different from what she expected.
Evelyn and Franklin Nova were not married in their past lives and were entirely unrelated.
Yet, as she browsed through Evelyn’s past few lives, she discovered another issue—
Although Evelyn and Franklin Nova had no entanglement, she had strong ties with the Nova Lineage.
Counting up to six lives, each of Evelyn’s husbands had the surname Nova.
And all originated from the same bloodline family.
