Chapter 38
Not only were the three women on–site stunned, but even the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the livestream were baffled. Everyone wondered, ‘What does Becky mean by this?”
It didn’t take long for Phoebe to figure it out. She shouted, “Becky, are you trying to keep an eye on Lesley? No, I mean, are you trying to guard Lesley’s chickens? As long as her chickens don’t get stolen by the other teams, your team will come out on top, right?”
As soon as she said this, everyone realized what was going on.
Lesley was shocked. She looked at Becky, completely taken aback by her tactic.
The livestream audience was equally astonished, never imagining such a tactic.
[I did the math, and it seems right. Chickens in the mountains are hard to catch. Right now, Lesley’s and Charlie’s teams have the most chickens. No matter how hard the other teams try, they can’t catch up. So, the key now is to guard each other’s chickens. As long as Lesley’s chickens aren’t stolen, Becky and Chuck’s team will have the most chickens.]
[Wow, Becky is so smart! Now I get why Chuck spoils her so much. If I had such an amazing partner, I’d spoil her too.]
[OMG, I think I’m falling more and more for Becky.]
[Does Becky have a Twitter account? I really want to follow her.]
In the comment section, many people started becoming fans of Becky. Although Becky couldn’t see the comments at the moment, the other guests could. Seeing the outpouring of support, they couldn’t help but feel a twinge of
envy.
While they were talking, a few fans posted comments sporadically about what was happening in the other livestreams in Livestream Room Four.
At first, Janet didn’t pay much attention to the comments. But as she watched, a few keywords, like Lesley and Becky, caught her eye, making her stop in her tracks and read the comments seriously.
After a while, Janet grasped what was happening on Lesley’s side, and her face suddenly turned sour.
Rebecca actually set her sights on Lesley?
If that were the case, Lesley wouldn’t be able to help her at all.
“Janie, are you tired? How about we take a break?” Karen, who had spent the entire day chasing chickens, was about to collapse. She regretted participating in this so–called variety show with her daughter.

It was just a silly entertainment show. Why did it have to be so exhausting?
Karen was on the verge of losing her temper but held back, thinking of her daughter. Her daughter was a famous star, and she couldn’t afford to embarrass her.
She could only gently suggest that her daughter take a rest.
Janet looked at her mother. After a day of chasing chickens in the mountain, her mother’s makeup had mostly faded, and her face looked pale and clearly exhausted.
Under normal circumstances, she would have stopped to rest. She needed to maintain her loving and caring
image, showing fans how considerate, sensible, and dedicated she was.
But now, she was anxious. With Rebecca targeting Lesley, it was impossible to get Lesley’s chickens. To win, she
had to come up with another plan.
‘Perhaps stealing from others… Janet suddenly thought of Groups One and Two.
Group One had Jayden, who was with his three–year–old daughter. He probably didn’t have much time to watch
over the chickens.
Group Two had Phoebe and her grandfather catching chickens together. How many had they caught? Could she
steal some from them?
As she considered this, Janet turned to her mother and said, “Mom, you stay here and guard our chickens. Make sure to keep an eye on them at all times. Don’t let them out of your sight. I need to take care of something.”
Without waiting for a response, Janet turned and quickly walked away.
“Janie?” Karen was stunned and anxiously called out her daughter’s nickname.
Janet didn’t respond. In fact, she couldn’t have bothered with her mother right now. She just hurried off.
Without her mother slowing her down, Janet moved swiftly through the mountain. After a while, she noticed that the livestream camera was still following her. She turned around and asked the cameraman, “Could you please go
back and follow my mom?”
It was clear she didn’t want the camera on her anymore.
This wasn’t unprecedented. When Rebecca and Charlie split up earlier, the camera couldn’t have captured both, so the crew decided to follow Charlie since he was more popular. This left Rebecca to venture off on her own.
At this point, Janet was in the same situation. Clearly, Janet was the one attracting the audience. So, the cameraman instinctively followed Janet but was surprised when she asked him to return to her mother.

The cameraman hesitated for a moment and glanced at the other crew members.
Soon, Ben sent a message instructing him to go back. Only then did the cameraman turn back and focus the live
stream on Karen.
With Janet off–camera, her fans grew anxious. They were all very curious about what their idol was up to.
Fans from Livestream Room Four began to leave in droves, migrating to other streams in hopes of catching a glimpse of her.
Was she up to something?
Would she appear in someone else’s livestream?
There had been a precedent of Becky showing up in another stream and causing quite a stir. Now, Janet’s fans were excited. She hadn’t done anything noteworthy all day, and they were eager to see her make a dramatic move and steal the show at the last minute, ending with a spectacular finish.
Because of this fan migration, other livestream guests quickly learned from the comments that Janet had left Livestream Room Four’s camera to stir things up elsewhere. Instantly, everyone became alert.
Sitting beside Rebecca and Lesley, Phoebe was starting to feel uneasy. She sat still for a few seconds before she couldn’t stand it any longer. Suddenly, she sprang to her feet and said, “Lesley, Becky, I need to take care of
something. I…I have to go.”
With that, Phoebe turned and bolted. She had to find her grandfather to make sure he was guarding their
chickens. If Janet stole them, she would be devastated.
The viewers in Livestream Rooms Two and Three found this hilarious. They couldn’t stop laughing, wondering if Tamron would manage to protect their chickens from being stolen by Janet.
Curiosity got the best of some fans. Many from Livestream Room Three switched to Livestream Room Two to
follow Phoebe’s frantic dash.
Lesley noticed the dwindling number of viewers on her livestream and felt a pang of disappointment. She wanted to do something to retain her audience but was at a loss when she turned and noticed Becky was constantly
watching her.
“Um… Are you really a fan of Charlie?” With nothing else to do, Lesley decided to chat with Rebecca, hoping to
spark some fan curiosity and retain a few viewers.
Rebecca’s heart skipped a beat at the question, but she quickly caught on and nodded. “Yes.”
“What do you like about Charlie?” Lesley asked, genuinely curious.

“Charlie is… Well, he used to berate girls a lot. Many people thought he was rude, and most girls didn’t like him,” Lesley continued.
She looked at Rebecca and added, “I thought his fans were mostly guys. I’m really curious why you like him.”
Lesley remembered the task her company had given her, which was to create trouble for Charlie and ensure Janet
overshadowed him.
She deliberately brought up Charlie’s negative aspects in the show, hoping to lead Rebecca into saying something critical about him, causing the fans to dislike Charlie, and making Janet look better by comparison. By this, she should have fulfilled her company’s mission.
