Raymond seethed with resentmentโBrandon had no clue how easy it was to preach from the sidelines when he wasn't the one in the thick of it. As the sting of criticism gnawed at him, a sudden spark of inspiration flashed through his mind. He could kill two birds with one stone: not only could he teach Brandon a lesson, but he could also extricate himself from this whole mess.With a sly smile, Raymond said, "If you think you can do better, then go ahead! I'm just not as good at taking care of people as you are. There's one more episode left of this reality show, so why don't you take over next time?"He really didn't want to endure this anymore. Not only did he have to work hard to earn money, but the person he came to care for, Olivia, ended up getting him into trouble. On top of that, he had once again offended Lindsay.So, what was the point of asking his Oliver for a favor and joining this show in the first place? He must have been out of his mind.If Brandon was so capable, he coul

If Olivia decided not to participate, Raymond also planned to speak with the director about replacing her with another guest.Alex couldn't help but say, "Then I might as well slack off too."Without Raymond, facing Lindsay alone was awkward for him. Especially knowing Olivia wasn't as innocent and pure as she seemed, he felt guilty whenever he saw Lindsay.Raymond could now fully empathize with Alex's feelings.He patted Alex on the shoulder. "Let's just both slack off then, it might even save us from getting scolded.โLindsay had already given him a harsh scolding during this episode alone.And even without watching, he could guess that his participation in this episode of the reality show had earned him plenty of criticism from the audience.Whether it was getting called out over Hector or questioning Lindsay without knowing the full story, he found himself under fire.He might have even lost some fans over it.This time, he truly ended up on the losing side, upsetting everyone and

Richard had just finished a meeting when his secretary informed him that his fourth son had gone sightseeing in the local area. He didn't suspect anything, knowing his son's restless nature. Shortly after, his phone rang with an unfamiliar domestic number. He picked it up and heard Alex's voice on the other end."Dad, are you free right now?" Richard was surprised. "Yes, I'm free. What's the matter?"Alex spoke with a tone of resignation, "Actually, there's a little issue. Well, Brandon just came to see Ray and me, asking us to help him take care of Via. But we're still live streaming our show, and there were some conflicts earlier, so itโs not really convenient for us to go. But Brandon kept insisting, so we had no choice but to turn to you."Then he deliberately added, "Didnโt you take Brandon on a work trip? How did he end up in Country S?"Richard's expression darkened instantly.He certainly hadnโt anticipated that Brandonโs so-called trip to relax would involve traveling all t

She asked in a hurt tone, "Are they still not willing to forgive me?"Brandon sat down and said, "No, it's not that. One of them has a stomachache, and the other has a sore throat. They can't come today. They promised to come see you tomorrow."Only then did Olivia feel at ease. She leaned into Brandon's arms, hugging his waist tightly and nuzzling his shoulder. "Thank you, Brandon!"Brandon thought for a moment and said, "Ray will talk to the director tomorrow. I'll be the guest for the next episode of the live variety show."Olivia was taken aback. "Huh? Ray is switching out?"Her heart filled with more resentment. What did this mean? Did he not want to be on the show with her? How could a grown man be so petty?Brandon chuckled and said, "I was the one who suggested it. Neither Ray nor Alex can take good care of you, so I'm worried. That's why I asked him to talk to the director. Of course, if you decide not to participate in the next episode, then I won't either."These words moved

After serving a tour group, Alex and his team received their translation fees. Alex asked Justin and Tracy, "Shall we call it a day and go for some afternoon tea?"Justin and Tracy were puzzled. "Afternoon tea?"Neither of them was particularly interested and prepared to decline. Alex playfully added, "I heard Lindsay and the others went to a specialty restaurant for afternoon tea, so we brothers thought we'd give it a try."Hearing Lindsay's name, Justin and Tracy immediately changed their minds. "Sure, letโs go check it out."Tracy smiled. "We can have a simple dinner and stay at the same hotel as last night. We have enough for afternoon tea."Justin said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."It was another day they hoped to see Lindsay.So, the four of them took a taxi to the restaurant.As they arrived downstairs, Brandon just entered the building upstairs. They saw Lindsay sitting and laughing together with others.Brandon, a renowned up-and-coming director, preferred not

โDuh! Do you think Iโd dare lie about Dad? And itโs not just DadโMomโs on her way too. She should be landing soon.โGrace had called Alex before boarding.Brandonโs expression shifted. โHow did they know I was here?โHe gave Alex a sharp look. โDid you rat me out?โAlex, standing firm, replied, โOf course not.โThere was no way he would admit it.โVia ended up in the hospital, and you decide to go on a little vacation at just the right time. Did you really think Dad wouldnโt figure it out? He even guessed youโd come here to cause trouble for Lindsay. Thatโs why he told me and Ray to make sure we stopped you.โBrandonโs expression turned uneasy. โDad really knows how to read minds.โHe asked, โSo whatโs Mom doing here?โAlex responded, โSheโs here to take Via home and care for her.โBut the main reason was to drag Brandon back, though Alex didnโt mention that part.Brandon let out a breath. โSeems like Momโs really care about Via.โAlex replied nonchalantly, โObviously. Sheโs been takin

Grace noticed Lindsay chatting happily with her companions, a radiant smile lighting up her face. It struck her that, in the year since Lindsay had returned home, she hadnโt seen her daughter smile this brightly even once. Grace couldnโt help but wonder if Lindsay had been unhappy at home all along.This was her biological daughter, her flesh and blood, whom she truly wanted to cherish and love. However, Olivia's manipulations and subtle hints had led Grace to mistakenly believe that Lindsay was unruly and troublesome. This made her think that teaching Lindsay a lesson would help her recognize her mistakes and change.When Lindsay first left home, Grace had assumed it was just a temper tantrum and that she would eventually come back. But now, she wasn't so sure. Since leaving, Lindsay shown no intention of returning home, and she had even gone out of her way to create tension with her brothers.Grace had watched quite a bit of this current live broadcast and realized that her daug

Lindsay shook her head. "Thereโs nothing for us to talk about. If you have something to say, do it here. Otherwise, Iโm going back to my room to rest."She had no interest in having a heart-to-heart with Grace. In her past life, she had hoped for such moments when she first returned home, but after repeated disappointments, she had long given up on that hope.Grace was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Lindsay to refuse. She frowned slightly. "I just wanted you to join me for dinnerโis that too much to ask?"Lindsay gave her a half-smile. "Mrs. Harper, weโre not close enough to share a meal together, donโt you think?"Grace looked at her in disbelief. "But Iโm your mother!"How could they not be close?Lindsay raised an eyebrow. "Havenโt we already severed ties? Are you so old that you've forgotten?"Grace flinched at the harshness of Lindsayโs words, feeling a pang in her chest. She took a deep breath. "Thereโs no lasting grudge between a mother and daughter. We were misled b

In the vibrant district of the historic town, the streets were lined with vintage boutiques and various artisan stalls. Lindsay's group visited the townโs administration office and rented a temporary booth.Alex and Justin eagerly borrowed a table and chairs, setting up the booth. Following Lindsay's instructions, they also bought a piece of white fabric and worked together to create a simple sign. The production team provided markers and other supplies.Lindsay glanced over at Benedict and said, "Benedict, Iโll let you handle writing the banner."She was eager to observe his writing and the energy he gave off while doing it.Benedict sighed inwardlyโthis girl was constantly trying to test him. After a momentโs thought, he nodded. "Alright, Iโll write it."He grabbed a marker, uncapped it, and wrote in bold letters across the white fabric: โFortune Telling, Divination, and Tarot Readings.โLindsay watched him closely, noticing the fluidity of his movements as he wrote, his posture exud

Justin added, "My momโs been trying to get me to help Olivia and distance myself from Lindsay. Sheโs also said plenty of nasty things about Lindsay. This time, not only did I ignore her, but I even pushed back. It probably pissed her off, and now sheโs taking it out on Lindsay."Alex, clearly upset, said, "You should talk to her and tell her to stop fixating on Lindsay. Lindsay hasnโt done anything to provoke her. Itโs ridiculous."He was frustrated that Justinโs mom had been stirring up trouble, making Grace even more difficult to deal with.Justin nodded. "Alright, after the show is over, Iโll have a talk with her."He also felt his mom was acting out of line. Back when he liked Lindsay, her disapproval at least made sense. But now that Lindsay had kicked him to the curb, his momโs continued obsession was baffling.Although they were speaking softly, Lindsay and Benedict, walking ahead, heard every word.Lindsay found the situation with Abby baffling as well. A woman who fawned over

After Lindsay left, the other guests quickly followed, leaving only Alex standing there awkwardly. He spoke briefly to the production staff, and they soon shifted the cameras away from that area. Alex then walked over to Grace, saying, "Mom, since Lindsay wonโt lend it, letโs just drop it."Grace shot him a cold glare, her expression dark. "How can you be so heartless? The one lying in bed is your fourth brother. Are you hanging around Lindsay all the time just to learn how to be cold and ruthless?"Unable to contain her frustration toward Lindsay, Grace directed it at Alex instead.Alex sighed in exasperation. "Even if we need help, it has to be something sheโs willing to do! Weโve wronged Lindsay enough as it is, so why do you keep trying to guilt-trip her? Brandonโs situation isnโt Lindsayโs fault. Why donโt you go find Olivia? Sheโs the one who caused all this, maybe she can fix it. After all, whoeverโs behind her is no easy target."Right now, all Alex felt toward Lindsay was gui

Grace held back her anger and said, "It'll only take a few minutes. I have something important to discuss with you."Lindsay sat back down in her seat. "Fine, go ahead."The livestream was on, and Lindsay was fully aware of itโshe was doing this on purpose.Grace was about to speak when her assistant whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed, and she subtly shifted her body to turn away from the camera.Then she looked at Lindsay. "Can we talk outside?"In her rush to find Lindsay, she had almost forgotten that this was a live-streamed variety show. She didnโt want to be on camera, much less discuss such personal matters in front of an audience.Lindsay, however, refused. "If it's important, say it here. If not, then donโt say anything."Graceโs expression darkened. "Itโs because itโs important that we need to talk privately."She emphasized, "Itโs not appropriate in front of the camera."Lindsay just smiled. "Unless it's something shady, whatโs wrong with saying it on cam

Lindsay thought about it for a while and figured that if Grace was coming to find her, it was probably for Brandon. The only thing she could want would be the artifact in her possession.Alex saw her reply and couldnโt help but smile wryly. His sister was indeed sharp and saw right through it.He sent a voice message, repeating what the head of the Divination Association had told them. "Mom just wants to borrow the artifact from you to suppress Brandonโs condition."Lindsay replied, "Tell her not to waste her energy."Seeing that message, Alex knew right away that she wouldnโt lend it out. It didnโt surprise himโhis sister could be ruthless when she wanted to be."We canโt convince her otherwise, not even Dad can stop her... sigh," Alex added. When their momโs temper flared, she wouldnโt listen to anyone.Lindsay didnโt seem to care. "Then let her come. Iโm not going to do her any favors."Alex recalled the conversation between their parents at the hospital and decided to warn her, "M

Recently, Grace had been spending more time with Abby, often meeting up for outings. Over time, Richard noticed that Grace's anger towards their biological daughter had deepened. Abby had always disliked Lindsay and showed more favoritism towards Olivia. She must have been stirring up trouble and egging Grace on whenever they met. With time, Grace was bound to be influenced.Grace, clearly annoyed, said, "You even want to control who I make friends with? Aren't you going too far? What's wrong with me getting along with Mrs. Ford and spending more time with her?"Richard felt cornered. "I just think there's something off about her. Her intentions in getting close to you don't seem good. That's why I'm trying to give you a heads-up."Grace didn't believe him at all. "I think you're overthinking it. Weโve always had a decent relationship. Weโre just closer now, thatโs all.""What do you men know about womenโs matters? Don't interfere." She now had plenty to talk about with Abby. Jenny wa

Richard glanced at Grace with clear disapproval. โThis whole mess was caused by Olivia and Brandon. What does any of it have to do with Lindsay?โHe could tell that recent events, and the embarrassment caused by their sons, had left his wife feeling bitter. It seemed she had begun to project that frustration onto Lindsay, despite the situation having little to do with her.Grace crossed her arms defensively. โIf it wasnโt for her ongoing fight with Olivia, Brandon wouldnโt have gotten involved. Heโs her brother. Doesnโt she owe him some consideration now that heโs in this condition?โRichard frowned. โWhat exactly are you trying to say?โValarie, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, her displeasure clear. โI see it differently. Itโs Olivia and your son who started the trouble, and all Lindsay did was defend herself. Are you really looking to embarrass yourselves even more?โGrace shifted uncomfortably, feeling the sting of her mother-in-lawโs words. โIโm just thinking abou

Given the Harper family's persistence, there was no way the Divination Association could avoid a thorough investigation. Seeing that Randolph wouldnโt back down, the official left, courteously escorted out by Randolph, who, for the moment, had ceased his protests.Valarie carefully placed the multicolored stone inside a small protective pouch before securing it around Brandon's neck. Though he felt a slight relief after putting it on, the bad luck continued. As the official had warned, his misfortune was too severe for one artifact to fully contain.Randolph tried every connection he had, attempting to borrow a second artifact, but came up empty-handed. Time slipped by, and evening approached before they could find any further solutions.By the time Richard and Grace arrived at the hospital, they were met with the weary faces of their parents. Feeling guilty for everything his father had gone through, Richard bowed his head. "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry you had to go through this today."
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 632
Hearing their words, the hope that had briefly flickered in Brandonโs eyes quickly faded, leaving him more devastated than before. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong," he muttered, finally realizing the truth. His foster sister had been nothing but troubleโfar from trustworthy, she had been a constant source of harm. Meanwhile, his real sister, though harsh and distant, had proven to be far more reliable. Regret gnawed at him deeply.Randolph sighed, his voice heavy with disappointment. โKnowing youโre wrong doesnโt change anything. Itโs too late now.โTurning back to the two mystics, Randolph asked, โIf you canโt break the curse directly, could you at least help suppress his misfortune? Maybe with a protective charm or some kind of mystical object?โDespite his frustration with his grandsonโs foolishness, he couldnโt just leave him to suffer.Both mystics exchanged uneasy glances. โWe donโt have the ability to suppress his bad luck with charms.โโFor something like that, youโd need t
