Chapter 311 The Hidden Rivalry Begins
[Did you notice Jeremy and Amelia are wearing the same collection? It’s the latest NNJR couple set!]
[Pretty sure they’re secretly dating. Can’t wait for them to go public!]
Compared to the earlier sarcasm, the livestream was now full of excitement and joy–some viewers even typed out giggling emojis.
Jeremy walked up to Amelia. She couldn’t help asking, “You like this brand’s athletic line too?”
“Yeah. What a coincidence–you like it too?”
He answered smoothly, matching her tone without hesitation.
Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered softly, clearly on purpose.
He’d planned it all along. Knowing what she’d wear on the show, he’d made sure to match her outfit and create this coincidence.
[Ahhh, look at them whispering!]
[They’re literally biting ears. I’m dying to know what they’re saying!]
[They’ve got to be a real couple, right?]
At that moment, everyone’s attention was locked on the two of them.
Gianna saw it too, and jealousy burned inside her.
Let her enjoy herself now, she thought. A mistress was still a mistress. He had a real fiancée.
That bitch would have to step aside eventually.
In the end, she only has two paths—either get dumped or stay hidden as a secret lover.
“Welcome, everyone, to our prime–time variety show. Let’s hope for a great trip together.”
Right on cue, the production team stepped out to address the crowd.
“I’m sure everyone’s already familiar with each other, so no need for more introductions,” the host said.
“Yeah, not only are we familiar, but the audience at home definitely knows us too.”

The host had barely finished when Gianna jumped in, eager to grab the mic.
Aside from chasing the camera, she just loved being the first to speak or grab attention.
So she asked again, “Weren’t there supposed to be seven guests in total? Who’s the seventh guest?”
There were two mystery guests in total. One was Jeremy.
The other had been added later and hadn’t been announced yet.
Everyone was curious–who was that final mystery guest?
Fans buzzed with excitement, trying to guess who it might be.
And for once, Gianna had asked the question they all wanted to know.
Still, Amelia’s and Selena’s fans weren’t about to give her credit for it.
The production team clearly loved the suspense and decided to keep the secret a little longer.
The host chuckled and said, “No need to rush. The best part always comes at the end. Let’s start with our first segment to warm things up.
“We’ll head to our destination soon, and who knows–maybe our mystery guest will show up there as a surprise!”
That official yet vague answer only made everyone itch with curiosity.
They were dying to know.
Some guessed it might be a popular singer, an award–winning actor, or a top TV star.
Others thought it might not be a celebrity at all, given the show’s focus on pharmaceuticals and research.
A few clever fans guessed it might even be a famous expert in the field.
[The producers aren’t dumb. They’ll pick someone with controversy or built–in fame. Even if they invite a genius from another field, it won’t necessarily grab attention.]
[Yeah, I bet it’s a rising idol with a decent fan base. That’s how you boost ratings.]
[Industry geniuses have fans too, okay? The research and pharma worlds have their own diehards.]
[Exactly. Bringing in an outsider with influence could actually attract new viewers and give the

show a boost.]
The chat exploded again as everyone kept guessing who that last guest might be.
Amelia and the rest were curious too.
They all wanted to know who the show had invited.

Victor kept things mysterious to get genuine reactions, so even the guests hadn’t been told.
None of them knew who it was.
But Gianna had a hunch.
Anyone revealed like Jeremy–only when filming began—had to be someone important.
And since this person was added after the official lineup, she was even more certain it was who she thought.
Looks like that little stunt I pulled in sommelier class actually paid off, she thought smugly.
If it’s really who I think it is, let’s see how long Amelia can keep smiling and pretending to be calm.
