Chapter 122 It’s All Handled
Sean’s face flushed bright red as if he’d just been slapped across the face by Liam’s words.
Liam’s grin only grew wider as he helpfully zoomed in on the camera.
“Look, even Mr. Lewis is learning massage from Ms. Summer! Your livestream is getting more educational by the minute,” Liam teased.
The chat blew up.
[Dude, you’re not even a vet, right? Was just talking smack and accusing her of doing it wrong!]
[Total outsider trying to lecture a pro. LOL, talk about an epic fail!]
[Ms. Summer’s massage skills are solid! That’s 100% professional right there!]
[Now that’s what young talent looks like! If she opened a pet hospital or boarding center, I’d send all my fur babies there in a heartbeat. Zero worries!]
Liam passed the camera back to Sean, his calm voice laced with unspoken meaning.
“See that, folks? The red panda is in the care of a top-tier expert team now. You can all chill,” Liam said with a confident smile.
Then, Liam’s tone took a more somber turn.
He said, “Honestly, we’ve been trying to hire some vets at Forest Isle Zoo for a while, and we’ve interviewed plenty of promising folks. But every single time, they just disappear right before signing on.
“We wonder if someone’s been giving us some special attention and not the good kind.
“Take this morning for example. The lead surgeon we booked suddenly backed out, and the red panda’s surgery nearly got scrapped.
“Luckily, Ms. Summer pulled some strings at the last second and managed to gather a team of experts to step in.”
Subtle as his words were, nobody missed the real message.
The chat blew up as everyone put two and two together.
[Holy crap! So someone’s actually out to get them?]
[I know it! Forest Isle Zoo keeps getting dragged all the time. It’s definitely not just bad luck!]
[These three legends are the type you can’t even hire with a pile of cash, and Ms. Summer rallied them all in one go? Her network is straight-up beastly!]
[Just saw Ms. Summer’s phone screen is totally shattered, and she still hasn’t bothered to change it. But when it comes to the red panda, she’ll spend everything to get the best experts in. She’s honestly the best. I’m actually tearing up over here!]
[Where’d all those haters from before run off to? Not so loud now, huh?]
[I can’t stand seeing such an awesome director losing money! I’ve already grabbed my annual pass. Come on, girls, let’s support her!]
Over at the Summer Veterinary Group office, Claire and Rose were frozen, eyes locked on the screen.
Rose stared, her nails digging into her palm in raw tension.
She thought, ‘Why her? Sophia can’t string two words together, but she’s suddenly surrounded by three industry big shots, and they’re all actually being nice to her, guiding her themselves?
‘Who the hell is Sophia anyway?
‘She’s just some no-name vet assistant. What did she do to get that kind of attention from the industry big shots?’
Rose’s chest tightened, a sour sting of jealousy and frustration clawing up her throat.

She’d always believed she was the one meant for the spotlight. She would be noticed, appreciated, and groomed to rise above the rest.
But now, all she could do was helplessly watch as that quiet, unremarkable Sophia swept up everything she’d ever wished for, with ease.
Claire gripped the wheelchair armrests so tightly her knuckles turned white.
“How could Nina possibly get all those top experts to show up? Even Summer Veterinary Group can’t get them on our schedule!” Claire blurted out, her voice shaking.
Her fingers trembled, her mind a whirlwind of confusion.
This was way beyond anything she’d ever imagined.
Rose muttered under her breath, “Is it because she’s got that animal whisperer thing and can actually understand what animals say?
“Those experts must be fascinated by that skill. Maybe they all came to her because of it.”
Claire whipped her head around, her voice practically squeezed through gritted teeth. “Understand animals?
“Even if she can, so what?
“Are we supposed to believe she can catch every word, translate them one by one, and have every single animal obey her?
“Then she’s got superpowers now. It must be kidding.”
She got more and more agitated, grabbing her phone and snapping at her assistant, “Start searching books, research, online videos and anything you can find about animal communicators. Sort it all and send me everything ASAP!
“Then get in touch with every top-rated animal communicator you can find. Ask if any of them are taking students! I don’t care what it costs!”
After hanging up, Claire locked her icy gaze on the screen, digging her nails so hard into her palm, while Nina kept on smiling, cool as ever.
She thought, ‘If Nina can figure this out, then I refuse to believe I can’t.’
Meanwhile, over at Forest Isle Zoo, Liam had already enlisted Sean to be his trusty sidekick for the day.
Liam shot the camera a million-watt smile, his voice bursting with excitement. “Hey everyone, pay attention! Sean just promised to give you all a grand tour of Forest Isle Zoo!
“The little animals here are crazy adorable!
“Up next, let’s check out our zoo’s so-called ‘skinny dog’. Oops, I meant our extra-fluffy tiger Fatty!”
As he spoke, Liam gave Sean a conspiratorial look, signaling for him to just go with it.
With Liam running the Forest Isle Zoo’s official account, everything was smooth sailing. Ticket links, hot bundle deals, and yearly pass promos… All arranged just right, so clean it made you wanna click just looking
at it.
And with Sean’s livestream suddenly blowing up, the ticket sales on the backend were spiking like mad.
Meanwhile, Sean, who usually charges at least 30 thousand dollars per cat or dog food ad and has a million followers, was stuck holding his own camera, looking like he’d just lost his will to live.
Not only was he forced to appear for free, but he was also playing tour guide and photographer for nothing. He’d basically become Forest Isle Zoo’s human traffic magnet, and inside, he was so bitter his mood could make a lemon jealous.
At the Tiger Enclosure, Fatty was going all in on his meal, completely dedicated to stuffing his face.
Ever since that epic showdown where he roared the foreign wolf king into submission and scored a shout-out from Ms. Summer, he’d officially launched his personal quest to get fatter and stronger than ever.

Sean was dutifully holding up his camera, trying to get the perfect shot, when Liam, standing nearby, couldn’t resist teasing him.
“Zoom in. Zoom in! And don’t you dare let our Fatty turn out all blurry. If he sees you slimming him down on camera, trust me, he’ll let out a roar that’ll shake the whole zool” Liam teased, grinning.
Sean just kept smiling and played along, “Okay, okay.”
He obediently fiddled with the zoom lens, but inside, he was practically crying. He was a million follower influencer. But he became Fatty’s personal fan-cam quy now. And he had to worry about getting roared at by
Fatty!
Liam shot a sly grin, slipped off to the side, and made a discreet phone call. “Hey, Quentin, you boarded yet? Someone came by and tried to mess with Ms. Summer today,”
