Chapter 194
Garrett couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t expect Selina and Lydia to be so vicious to slander Ashley like this. This is a live broadcast.” He should’ve stayed out of this matter and not get involved if he was rational. However, he thought Selina’s attitude toward Ashley was despicable. They were on live broadcast, so Selina should’ve restrained herself. Instead, Selina treated Ashley like trash in private.
Garrett’s simping personality felt unbalanced as he thought of this. He looked at Ashley sympathetically and wondered why he didn’t know her earlier.
With Selina bullying her… Ashley’s life must be very dark and uncomfortable. Garrett wanted to hold Ashley tightly with open arms and tell her that he wouldn’t let anyone bully Ashley, including Selina.
Ashley lowered her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. She took a deep breath and smiled before saying, “Joseph, Garrett, let’s eat.”
“Oh… Okay,” answered the two.
Now wasn’t the time to dwell on this matter. Joseph and Garrett hadn’t finished today’s task, so they had to work hard. For Ashley’s sake and not to let Selina look down on them, they would work their asses off.
The comments were still at war.
Selina and Lydia’s fans thought it was too good that the two were having fun pummeling those three. They couldn’t stand watching that pretentious woman and her accompanying brainless toxic masculine men. Selina and Lydia should torture and humiliate those three so that they wouldn’t even think of framing others.
Joseph’s and the other two’s fans wouldn’t just watch. They commented that Selina was being petty and that she should’ve just refused once and didn’t need to show off. They didn’t want to know Selina’s score. Selina and Lydia deserved to be friends. They were both petty.
One comment read: [Do you know the meaning of the sentence ‘those who started a fight deserve the pain they got?‘ Selina has never provoked Ashley and her team, but they provoked her first, and their brainless fans even protected them. The world has really changed!]
A comment replied: [They didn’t mean to, Why is Selina so mean? And her fans are also petty. As expected, Selina’s fans are just as low–class as she is!]
As the show became more popular, it even became a trending topic on social media with

hashtags such as [Selina and Ashley’s Quarrel,] [Selina rejected,] and [Dispute among guests on the first broadcast of Serenity of Rural Life.]
These trending hashtags were provoking, and they attracted more viewers to the show, which made the directors of other variety shows jealous.
This wasn’t something that any popular guests could do. It was purely the fact that the grudge between Selina and the Harvey family was too interesting.
It was a miracle that couldn’t be replicated.
And the one lucky enough to get these people was Serenity of Rural Life’s crew.
Soon, the trending hashtags were removed.
There was no need to think about it. It must’ve been Harvey Group that did it.
Those trending hashtags would have some impact on Harvey Group, so the hashtag removal was necessary for the company’s image and stock price.
Quinton just received a call from the vice president, saying that the trending hashtags had been removed. The next second, he heard the vice president curse. Quinton frowned and fiercely asked, “What did you just say?”
“Sorry, Chairman. I didn’t curse you, it’s… The hashtags we just removed are back up!” replied the vice president.
Quinton questioned, “What? Didn’t we pay them? Who dares to oppose us?”
The vice president replied, “Well… It’s Insight Group.”
It was Trevon.
Quinton gritted his teeth. He didn’t expect Trevon to make trouble at this time. ‘Don’t Trevon care about the Brady family’s reputation and Insight Group? If Selina is our family’s lost daughter, then not only his family but his company will also face the repercussions!‘ thought Quinton.
Selina was Trevon’s wife. He couldn’t escape unscathed.
“Continue to negotiate with them,” ordered Quinton.
After he hung up the call, Sara saw his dark expression and asked, “Darling, did something go wrong?

“It was Trevon,” Quinton answered. He then told Sara and Manuel about the hashtags.
“Why did he do that?” Sara was also puzzled. The trending hashtags were removed, essentially suppressing this matter. This was beneficial for both the Harvey family and the Brady family.

Trevon didn’t warn Selina to behave herself and not to cause trouble for the Brady family, which puzzled Sara. He indulged his wife so much that he wasn’t afraid of bringing trouble to the Brady family. Sara wondered if Trevon wasn’t worried if this would make his family hate Selina even more.
Quinton said, “Who knows… No one can guess what that whelp is thinking.” He took out his phone and found Insight Group’s platinum VIP reception number. After hesitating for a while, he didn’t make the call. “Anyway, I’ve asked the Public Relations Department to deal with it. There should be results soon. I guess that kid just wants to disgust us.”
“I think so too,” replied Sara.
Both of them had the same idea.
In any case, Trevon wouldn’t risk his family’s reputation and Insight Group.
This responsibility was too great. Even if Trevon was in charge now, he still had to consider the views of his whole family and his elders. He couldn’t make the decision alone.
Only Manuel remained silent.
He thought about everything Trevon did for Selina. If Trevon had seen Selina’s advantages from the beginning and knew about the strength she hid… If he really liked Selina and was willing to sacrifice everything for her, then with his personality, he wouldn’t let this matter go easily.
It was nighttime.
Garrett and Joseph finally completed the task. They collected three people’s amount of medicinal herbs, submitted them, and exchanged them for food.
The live broadcast also paused.
Ashley limped in front of them with a cane. Seeing the glamorous men looking miserable, she couldn’t help but guiltily say, “Joseph, Garrett, it’s all my fault…”
“Well, it’s not your fault. It’s a variety show, and since we’ve accepted it, we must abide by the program’s rules,” said Joseph.

Garrett said, “Ashley, here are the ingredients. Could you please prepare dinner for us? I’ll upstairs with Joseph to take a shower first.”
It was autumn, yet Garrett was rank of sweat. His hair was messy, his body dirtied by mud, and he had been bitten by bugs. It was damaging to his idol persona. If he didn’t take a shower, Garrett himself would vomit.
