Chapter 51
Sebastian had talked to the cameraman. After Phoebe came out, the cameraman continued to point the camera at Maddox and the other two. Sebastian walked to Phoebe and asked in a low voice, โYouโre Jamarโs cousin?โ
When Phoebe heard that, she guessed Leon must have hired the paid posters to mislead public opinion. She shook her head. โNo.โ Sebastian also understood that someone hired paid posters to defame Phoebe online. Hence, he told her about a few trending topics.
He reminded her, โIf your matter on the trending topics online is confirmed, it wonโt be good for you. Think of something so you can solve it after the variety show ends tomorrow.โ He added, โIf you need it, I can help you find someone to remove the trending topic.โ
Seeing Sebastianโs worried eyes, Phoebe felt her heart warm. Not everyone would treat her like the Jenkins family and Reece. She curled her lips and said, โThank you for your kindness, Sebastian, but thereโs no need to remove the trending topic. Let them defame me. The bigger the commotion, the better.โ
She did not point it out in the live broadcast and even allowed Sienna to change the topic successfully. She had already guessed that Leon would not sit back and do nothing. She knew he would cause trouble. She deliberately allowed him to hire paid posters to influence public opinion. Otherwise, just the popularity of the variety show would not be enough.
After being the trending topic for two days, it would cause an uproar, and everyone on the Internet would know about it. โItโll be more interesting when the truth is revealed, wonโt it?โ Phoebe thought. Sebastian knew he didnโt have to worry when he saw Phoebeโs expression. He laughed. โLooks like you did it on purpose before.โ
Since Phoebe wanted to blow things up, he would not care about it for now. He whispered again, โCan you reveal your relationship with Jamar first so I can be prepared and know what to do next! Of course, I wonโt tell anyone until you expose it yourself.โ He had always been curious about the relationship between Phoebe, Jamar, and Sienna. He wanted to know the truth.
Phoebe did not hide anything. โJamar is my biological brother.โ Sebastianโs eyes widened in shock. โBiological brother! So you and Sienna are sisters too!โ Now that he thought about it carefully, he realized Phoebe and Jamar looked alike. However, they didnโt look like Sienna at all.
If they are biological sisters, their private relationship must be terrible since they had caused such a scene on the live broadcast, Sebastian thought. But Phoebe shook her head. โSheโs adopted. Iโm Jamarโs biological sister. But my former family likes her more and rejects me.โ
As expected, Sebastian was shocked again. This news was indeed shocking. He asked, โYour family likes their adopted daughter more than their biological daughter! And what do you mean by former family?โ He felt there was some secret behind it. Phoebe did not cover for the Jenkins family and Jamar.
She explained her background very simply. โWhen I was a few years old, I was lost because of Jamar, and thenโฆ Before I came to the show, I had already cut ties with that family.โ After Sebastian heard this, he digested it for a few seconds and almost couldnโt help but curse. Jamar is such a scumbag.
He thought, No wonder Phoebe, who has such a good temper, treated Jamar so coldly. โHe had lost his biological sister. After his biological sister returned, he was even more biased toward his adopted sister. What kind of logic is that? Did he not feel guilty at all? Doesnโt he want to make up for his mistake back then?โ
โItโs good that you cut ties with them,โ said Sebastian. He felt indignant. The Jenkins family are also strange. They had found their biological daughter, but they allowed their adopted daughter to step on the biological one on purpose. They must be crazy!
Phoebe was relieved to see Sebastianโs reaction. She thought, โNormal people should be like Sebastian and unable to understandโฆโ She had been like this before. She couldnโt figure out why they were doing this to her. Therefore, when the news is exposed, Jamar and Sienna should bear with it, Phoebe thought.
Phoebe smiled nonchalantly. โSo since theyโre heartless, they canโt blame me for being ruthless in the future.โ She wanted Sebastian to be mentally prepared first. It meant that she would not let it go. When this episode ended, it would be her turn to cause trouble.
Sebastian agreed and supported her. โYou have to fight back.โ Those people would push their luck if she endured and did not retaliate under such circumstances. He continued, โIf you need help, just let me know.โ
Phoebe thought for a few seconds and said in a low voice, โIf you want the next episode to be more popular, you can let the cameraman pay more attention to the interaction between Jamar and his sister.โ Today, Sienna was scared because of her words. Later, she would look for Jamar for comfort.
Sebastian was a smart person and understood immediately. Previously, he had also discovered that Jamar and his sister were very intimate with each other. However, he did not think much about it because they were biological siblings. Now that he knew that the two of them were not biological, he felt that they were too intimate when he looked at them again.
If the scene of them hugging was recorded, or their interaction differed from the intimate interaction between ordinary siblings, it was barely possible that the audience wouldnโt have more guesses after the relationship between the three people got exposed. At that time, more people would watch the replay of the live broadcast and expect the next live broadcast out of curiosity. The popularity and traffic would soar again.
Of course, when the time came, Jamar and his sister would be the first to be scolded on the trending topics. He realized that Phoebe was quite bad, but he liked it. After all, because of the distortion, she had become synonymous with โungratefulโ and โblood-sucking worm.โ She was currently being scolded on the trending topics.
Sebastian made an OK gesture at Phoebe. โFeel free to come to me if you need anything.โ He had always been grateful to Phoebe for saving his wife. Other than gratitude, Phoebeโs powerful skills in horoscope, metaphysics, and various abilities also made her worthy of a deeper relationship with him.
Phoebe nodded at him. โOkay.โ The two of them quickly separated. Phoebe walked to the courtyardโs entrance and met up with the others. As soon as she came over, the child in Samsonโs arms reached out to her and said, โI want Beauty to carry me.โ
Samson was speechless. โOh, this heartless brat. When he saw a beautiful girl, he forgot about his father.โ He said to his son with a fierce expression, โPhoebe is a girl. Youโre so fat. Itโs too tiring for her to carry you all the time.โ
When the child heard him say that, he looked at Phoebe and said, โThen forget about carrying me.โ He then stretched out his small hand. โLetโs hold hands.โ Phoebe quite liked children. She reached out and held his small hand. โOkay, letโs hold hands.โ
Such a gentle and doting look made Phoebeโs fans excited again. Samsonโs wife went to town to buy groceries in the afternoon. She had prepared a table full of dishes. To thank Phoebe, Samsonโs mother had also cooked several specialties. The family was very enthusiastic about Phoebe.
Phoebe said, โIโve already hung the completed talisman around his neck. After the evil energy on his body is expelled, this talisman can continue to be used as a Protective Talisman.โ The family felt very at ease seeing the talisman hanging around the childโs neck.
โThank you. Thank you so much, Ms. Jenkins,โ said Samson. He picked up his glass and stood up. โHereโs to you. Iโll drink wine, and youโll drink soft drinks.โ Phoebe picked up the paper cup. โYouโre welcome.โ Everyone chatted as they ate.
None of them knew that at that moment, a horoscope master who watched Phoebe practice boxing sent the video he recorded when Phoebe was drawing talismans during the day into a chat group about horoscopes. Then, it exploded.
