Chapter 299 She Adds Fuel to the Fire
Upon witnessing Andrew’s intense anger, Aaron not only failed to sympathize with him but also couldn’t help but want to gloat at him.
Could it really be Luca’s doing? If that’s the case, all I want to do now is praise Luca for doing a great job. I had faced criticism from the entire internet back when we filmed the first episode because of Jodie’s
actions.
Andrew even mocked me at that time.
Now, the tables have turned. Finally, it’s Andrew’s turn to suffer.
We had all gotten criticized to the point that we landed a spot on the list of trending topics for acting too intimate with Jodie.
Andrew’s actions were even more extreme. It would be unfair to us if he managed to escape the
consequences.
It’s a perfect outcome. We are brothers, after all. We should all face condemnation together.
Neither of them had thought that it might be Titus who released the video.
They believed it was Luca’s doing.
After Andrew finished venting his anger, Aaron spoke, “Come on. Let’s go back to the inn. first.”
Fortunately, there weren’t many people on the streets at this hour. Otherwise, Andrew’s behavior would have been truly embarrassing.
Andrew held his breath.
Then, he asked Aaron, “Do you still remember Luca’s phone number?” Even though Aaron had a vague memory, he answered, “No, I don’t remember. If there are any accounts to settle, we’ll do it once we get home.”
By then, I will be enjoying watching Luca and Andrew bicker with each other.
After all, they are the closest among us brothers.
Andrew even went to stay with Luca for a while after he transferred his luck to Jodie and kept suffering from misfortune.
Growing up, they often collude with each other. They even joined forces and tricked me before.

Now, there’s a chance they will split up and even fight each other because of the video.
I will ask Titus to join me in witnessing such a thrilling drama.
Andrew could only suppress the urge to call Luca and scold him.
However, it was precisely because of this restraint that he missed out on the chance to learn one truth.
Meanwhile, Simone and her group returned to the inn and entered their respective rooms to
rest.
Simone first organized the things she bought.
She drew a concealing talisman and pasted it on the set of knife coins, preventing the negative energy from overflowing and affecting the ordinary folks around.
After that, she drew a holy talisman and went to give it to Ethan.
When she returned to her room, she saw Jodie coming out of her room and knocking on Andrew’s door.
At this moment, Simone was standing at the corner of the staircase, so Jodie didn’t notice. her.
Instead of approaching, she took two steps back and stood there.
Soon, Andrew opened the door.
Upon seeing Jodie at the door, he couldn’t help but ask, “Jo, what’s up?”
Jodie’s face was still slightly pale. “Andrew, I want to talk to you.”
“Can I come in?” she asked. However, Andrew turned her down. “Maybe not. If you come inside, someone might see us when you leave. It will only make our relationship more ambiguous, and someone might even spread rumors about us again.”
He was genuinely afraid that not only would he be too ashamed to face his family and friends after returning to Cebros, but his parents would also be furious with him if he and Jo caught up in more rumors while they were still on the variety show.
Moreover, he still had lingering doubts about what happened before.
As a result, he didn’t really want to be alone with Jo at this moment.
Jodie was a little confused. “What do you mean it will only make our relationship more ambiguous, and someone will spread rumors about us?”

Andrew didn’t hold back. He told her about the video and the trending topic.
Jodie’s facial expression changed, and anger flashed in her eyes.
I’m right about having a feeling that my luck is deteriorating again tonight.
At first, I thought it was caused by the criticisms I received from the viewers due to the luck-borrowing incident and the rift between me and Andrew.
But no! It turns out that Luca had posted the video online, causing me to get criticized again!
She was so angry that she wanted to cry. “How could Luca do this? He’s being so petty.”
It was just that one time I didn’t explain clearly when we were abroad and caused him to misunderstand Simone!
Must he hold a grudge until now?! He even went too far by doing this to Andrew and me.
Andrew felt the same. “Exactly. That b*stard is becoming more and more petty. I will settle the score with him after we go back.”
Agreeing with him, Jodie echoed, “We must settle the score. We’re the ones getting
humiliated. What benefit does he get from this? He’s narrow-minded, so he does things that harm others and himself. He’s sick.”
At this point, she could guess that not only were they being criticized, but Steven and Salma would also be furious.
I’m not sure if they will blame me again after we return home this time.
I am seriously being treated unfairly.
“Andrew, I really fainted from the sight of blood tonight. You’re not mad at me, right?” Then, she earnestly assured him, “After the variety show ends, I will return your luck to you.”
When that time comes, I can just find an excuse to delay it.
Currently, Andrew took every word she said with a pinch of salt.
Still, he had no other choice. I can’t just force her to resolve it now.
Therefore, he nodded. “Okay. After the variety show ends, let’s go find Master Shawn for help.
Then, Jodie habitually wanted to hug Andrew’s waist and lean against him.
But because of the online incident, Andrew was like a badly frightened person at this
3/5
moment.
He immediately took a few steps back. Jo, let’s keep some distance for now. Otherwise, we’ll be heavily criticized again if someone sees us.”
Moreover, he didn’t know if it was because of a grudge in him as he was now somewhat resistant to being close to Jo.
Jodie, who was already in an awkward situation after failing to embrace him, felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing his words.
However, she was also afraid of being seen and getting any inappropriate videos of her posted online. If that happened, she would once again be subjected to criticism.
Every time she was criticized by the entire internet, her luck would weaken and diminish a little. She couldn’t afford for it to happen.
Therefore, she nodded and said, “Alright. I will be careful.”
Then, she asked, “Andrew, do you think that Simone’s studio could have been the one that released the video?” For some reason, she felt Simone had a higher chance of doing such a thing compared to Luca.
Upon hearing that, Andrew frowned. “What are you thinking? Simone wasn’t at the hospital that day. Moreover, she didn’t film any videos. So, how could her studio release it? Are
you possibly implying that Luca and Aaron sent her the video?” Ha! Simone doesn’t even pay attention to those two.
