My Reborn Story Is Insane

Chapter 430 The Subject of Even More Ridicule

Olympia didn't hold back her frustration. "If Charmaine hadn't left, who knows how much worse they would've ridiculed her for all the terrible things she's done!"

Valda immediately reacted, her attitude shifting completely. "What do they even know! To us, Leah is the jewel of the family. That cold, heartless Charmaine- what's she even worth?"

She couldn't bear to think of the shame that would have come if Charmaine had been the one dragged through the mud.

Olympia's eyes darkened with frustration. "Haven't her actions been bad enough? She got Maxwell's team member fired, turned the Nelsons into a joke online, and then there's Milo ..."

Her voice faltered at the last part, unable to finish the painful thought.

Leah, feeling her heart ache, quickly rushed to comfort her mother, pulling her into a tight embrace. "Mom, Milo will come back. We'll wait for him, and he'll come home safe."

Hearing her daughter's firm and comforting words, Olympia broke down quietly, sobbing in her arms.

By midday, a few celebrities had appeared at events, and a new trending topic quickly pushed the Nelsons out of the spotlight. The online chatter about them died down just as fast as it had flared up.

But no sooner had they begun to relax, than the country's first major collaborative medical reality show, Healing Hand, aired that evening, sparking another round of online controversy.

"This is the same show that wrongfully accused doctors and made the headlines, right? How is it still on the air?"

"After everything that happened, it should air! Let everyone see how tense the relationship between doctors and patients has become!"

"Yes, finally! A medical reality show I can actually watch without feeling embarrassed!"

"Wait a second. Isn't someone with the last name Nelson in the lineup for this show? Could it be..."

"Yeah, it's Leah-the fake daughter from the Nelsons who couldn't even hold their annual party this year! It made the trending topics this morning!"

"Hah, they can't hold a party, but can get on a reality show. The Nelsons really spoil that fake daughter of 'theirs!"

"I heard Leah took over her brother's entertainment company. Now she's the boss, and she's gone through all the company resources to make sure everything goes her way. All the artists under her have to settle for the scraps she doesn't want.".

"What the heck? The first time I've heard of a boss competing with their own artists for resources. My heart goes out to the poor artists!"

Charmaine, who had been dragged into some gossip with Celeste earlier that morning, saw the news about the surprise airing of the reality show.

After a brief pause, she retreated to the bathroom and made a phone call.

As soon as the line connected, Charmaine's voice took on a playful tone. "You've been up to something behind my back, haven't you?"

On the other end of the line, the voice was both angry and amused. "You little troublemaker! I thought you were calling me to wish me a Happy New Year in advance, but here you are, interrogating me instead?

"Yeah, I did it. So what?" Basil's voice was smug, filled with pride. "It's about time everyone saw the ugly side of the Nelsons. I'm just giving the people something to laugh about this New Year!"

Charmaine couldn't help but laugh, her voice softening as she teased the old man. “So, I saw the news and thought I'd give you a compliment. I knew only someone as brilliant as you could come up with such a clever plan!"

She glanced at her phone, noticing that neither Paxton nor the program group had sent out any prior notice about the show's sudden airing. It was only after the news broke online that they mentioned it, just a minute too late.

Charmaine immediately pieced together that Basil was behind it all.

Flattered by the praise, the old man grinned. "Well, it's perfect timing. Everyone's been making fun of the Nelsons all morning. They're probably hoping this dies down quickly. Anyway, airing the show during New Year's means a few days early doesn't really matter."

Well... it's true that it doesn't matter much, except it made Leah the subject of even more ridicule.

Charmaine chuckled, then, still holding the phone, took the chance to wish Basil a Happy New Year, casually adding, "I'm in Sudbay. There's so much great food here. I'll bring you some when I get back."

Mention of food brightened Basil's mood, though he still pouted. "So, are you only sending it to me?"

Charmaine, catching his tone, tried to stifled her laughter. "Fine, no problem. Even if Master Presley and the others are mad at me, I'll only send it to you."
