The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 What Did Scarlett Do?

Didn’t she know whether she had been hit or not?

How could she be so foolish as to lie in front of the audience and say Scarlett punched her in the face?

Michael could only say, “Ms. Bailey, you really got it wrong. Scarlett didn’t hit your face at all. Why would you go to the hospital? And why call the police?”

Hazel was so angry she felt dizzy. “Mr. Woods, are you blind too?”

The pain made her unable to keep up her sweet public image anymore.

Michael had no choice. “Fine. Since you insist, come here and watch what the camera just recorded.”

Hazel bit her lip.

It was even better that the camera had recorded everything.

It could be used as proof.

She walked over.

Michael had already replayed the scene for her.

She saw Scarlett’s punch stop about two or three inches from her face. It never hit her face.

Hazel thought she must have seen it wrong.

She whispered, “That’s impossible… How could that be…”

If the punch didn’t hit her face, why did her face hurt so much?

“Mirror, give me a mirror!” Hazel shouted.

She refused to believe the punch missed. Scarlett must have used some strange trick.

Michael sighed and found a small mirror for her.

Hazel quickly grabbed it and held it up to her face. She slowly moved her hand away from her cheek and saw that the side that was “hit” looked completely normal.

Her skin was pale and smooth. There wasn’t even a tiny red mark.

Hazel was totally stunned.

Her face hurt, and she was panicking.

She was sure she had been hit.

“Mr. Woods, I want to go to the hospital for a checkup!”

Michael was getting annoyed, but he didn’t show it on his face.

“Ms. Bailey, there’s no hospital around here. There’s only a small clinic in town. It takes over half an hour to drive there from here. Do you really want to go? Are you quitting the show? If you quit, you’ll have to pay the penalty fee.”

When he heard Hazel suddenly wanted to join the show, he had written a very high penalty fee into her contract.

Hazel covered her face and stayed quiet.

Should I not go to the hospital?

But my face really hurt.

There wasn’t any mark on my face. What could the doctor even find?

What exactly did Scarlett do to my face?

Could Scarlett know some kind of dark magic?

A small look of fear finally showed in Hazel’s eyes.

“Move, move! Everyone, hurry and follow the guests!” Michael shouted.

Then he quickly ran off.

He didn’t want to waste any more time arguing with Hazel.

At the entrance of Yveton, only Hazel was left, along with three camera crew members.

Next to her were two large suitcases.

Inside were her clothes, jewelry, skincare products, and makeup.

She had planned to film for a whole week, so she brought everything she needed.

Anyway, there were several male guests on the show. She could just have them carry her suitcases.

But after all this drama, she was left alone at the entrance of this small town.

Her face still hurt.

There was no way she could carry two big suitcases.

Hazel looked at this empty, remote place, and her face burned with pain again.

She couldn’t understand why everything was so different from what she had expected.

Scarlett walked around the town with Selina and the others.

The town was pretty big, but there were only about forty or fifty families.

Right in the middle of town, where the road split in two, there was a small grocery store.

The store looked old and run–down. Inside, the shelves were filled with the cheapest stuff, mostly condiments and basic household

supplies. There weren’t even many snacks.

An older woman sat alone at the door.

When Scarlett and the others walked past, she stared at them with a cold, creepy look.

Selina felt a little scared and held onto Scarlett’s arm.

Nelson and Adam were also a little afraid, so they held onto each other’s arms.

It was noon.

Smoke rose from every house as families cooked lunch.

Scarlett and her group made a lot of noise as they walked. Some houses didn’t even have yards. They could clearly see Scarlett and the others walking on the road.

Almost every house had several children.

All of them stood close to their doors and looked at Scarlett’s group with caution.

It seemed that very few people in Yveton left to work in the city. Most families lived off the mountains or farmed the land.

So the town was very poor.

Most of the children wore old and torn clothes.

Selina whispered, “Scarlett, should we ask the townsfolk if there’s any work we can do?”

But she felt it would be hard. Every family looked so poor.

This town felt completely different from the one they visited last week.

The children looked thin and small, like they had never eaten enough.

Scarlett said calmly, “No need. There won’t be any jobs for us. Some families here can barely afford enough food. And we can’t really communicate with them. They’re also not very welcoming to outsiders.”

“Can’t communicate?” Selina was confused and didn’t understand what Scarlett meant.

Scarlett said, “The people in this town speak a rare local dialect.”

She had heard bits of it while walking through the town just now.

Not only that, but the way the townsfolk looked at them was full of caution and distance. It was clear they didn’t welcome outsiders.

[Huh? A rare local dialect? Why didn’t we notice that? How does Scarlett know? And how does she know the townsfolks don’t like outsiders?]

[No idea. But this town is really poor. Poor and still having so many kids. Every family has several children. These kids look so pitiful. My niece is about the same age, and she’s even picky about food…]
