Director Gao came with the crew today, originally to follow up on the curse surrounding Evelyn Wright.
As for what exactly this curse was, she didn’t know.
She thought at most it might involve burning some paper doll talisman or digging up a grave.
Who would have thought!
Less than an hour after they entered the village, the Ancestral Hall was burned down!
As the group rushed over, they saw a crowd of men and women outside the Ancestral Hall crying and wailing.
The expressions of the men were still normal, but the women appeared peculiar. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Facing the blazing fire, their expressions were a mix of crying and laughter.
Especially Evelyn Wright, despite being a charming third-tier celebrity, she had lost all semblance of her image, sitting on the ground with her hair and makeup in disarray, clearly crying, yet the smile on her lips showed relief and liberation.
Holden Wright saw her and immediately rushed over, "Vivian!"
Upon hearing her boyfriend’s voice, Evelyn seemed to snap back to reality. Her teary eyes first looked at the man before finally hugging him and once again crying uncontrollably.
"Edward... *sob*... Edward, I am free! We, we are all free *sob*..."
Hearing her wailing, the women who were initially shedding tears silently couldn’t help but cry out loud.
Amid the chaos, the viewers in the livestream didn’t know what was happening.
They just instinctively asked, [Where’s my girl?]
Director Gao saw the comments and finally realized, "Where is Master Jennings?!"
Saying that, she gestured for the cameraman to find them.
Just as Evelyn was crying, upon hearing this, she seemed startled and remembered,
"Master Jennings... she and Mr. Chalmers are still inside."
With those words, Director Gao and the audience in front of their screens were thrown into an uproar.
There are still people inside the fire?!
Someone needs to go in and save them!!
Just as everyone was calling to report to the fire brigade to save people, they heard a clear female voice from behind them,
"Director Gao, are you looking for me?"
Originally facing the Ancestral Hall, everyone turned around at the sound, and the cameraman aimed the lens as if it were his eyes, panning over Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers from head to toe.
The two, who were supposedly still in the blaze, didn’t show any signs of being scorched by the fire, not even a speck of ash or soot on their clothes.
They were as pristine and tidy as when they arrived.
Oh, and they carried a somewhat ugly crocodile tortoise in their hands.
"How did you... end up behind us?"
Director Gao asked in a daze. Clearly, they arrived behind the others,
"Evelyn said you were still inside."
"Oh, just as the fire broke out, we got out ahead of time."
Seeing the camera, Scarlett knew they were still live and didn’t mention that Samuel Chalmers had just pulled her out using instantaneous teleportation.
The audience watching relaxed upon seeing she was unharmed, realizing their worries were unnecessary.
With the abilities of their beloved girl, even if the fire burned remotely towards the audience it wouldn’t reach her.
As they spoke, the Clan Leader of the Nova Kinship, upon hearing her voice, struggled to squeeze through the crowd.
Knowing the cameras were live, he pointed at Scarlett, his eyes glaring with anger and his face full of accusation,
"It’s her! This woman deliberately set fire to our Ancestral Hall, trampling on the honor our Nova Kinship has upheld for hundreds of years!"
Some clan members who escaped the Ancestral Hall knew it was Scarlett who summoned lightning and set the fire, but remembering the bones buried underneath, they couldn’t harbor much resentment against Scarlett.
