Steven and Salma found themselves once again surrounded by questioning from relatives. and friends.
This time, Owen and Alice immediately conveyed the urgent message that Steven and Salma must return to Gray Manor the next day.
The two of them had no escape from the impending scolding.
Although Steven was still abroad, Owen emphasized that he must come back.
He had no choice but to let his secretary urgently book a flight for the following morning.
In an attempt to comprehend the situation, Steven watched the replay of the variety show episode, focusing on the highlights.
As he watched it, frustration surged to the point where he felt like he might vomit blood. The experience was utterly infuriating.
He couldn’t understand how Andrew thought. After having his luck borrowed and ending up in such a miserable state, yet he was still unwilling to be ruthless to Jodie.
The fact that the Gray Family could have such a saintly and wronged individual was astonishing.
People who just asked for trouble-Andrew was a perfect example.
Steven couldn’t be bothered to deal with it anymore.
If Andrew chooses this path for himself and suffers in the future, he has to bear it himself. Now, I need to clean up this mess.
Just thinking about it gave him a severe headache. He regretted even more that he shouldn’t have adopted Jodie, nor should he have raised his sons in such a casual way.
Salma shared her husband’s frustration.
She had been watching the live broadcast with her sons.
Then, she received a round of condolences from relatives and friends.
Afterward, she looked at Luca with a gloomy expression and asked, “What’s the deal with the trending video online? Did you leak it?”
Luca was also surprised when he saw the trending video.

In his mind, he wondered, How did this video get leaked? Could it be Aaron?
Upon hearing his mom’s angry question, he innocently replied, “It wasn’t me.”
He added, “I’m not foolish enough to expose our family scandal.”
Salma frowned. “Then it must be Aaron. He is becoming more and more outrageous. How can he leak such a video? Doesn’t he feel ashamed?”
The person who recorded the video that day, besides her, was only Luca and Aaron.
If it was not Luca, it must be Aaron.
Luca said, “Aaron is still on the variety show live, so it’s unlikely.”
Salma sneered. “Unlikely? Can’t he send the video to someone else in advance? When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson. And stupid Andrew, is he mentally ill? A director going on a live variety show? What a joke! Now, not only has he ruined his own reputation, but he has also harmed the family.”
She really was about to be driven to death by her sons; she didn’t know why she raised these idiots.
Of course, there was also anger toward Jodie.
Titus listened to his mom constantly scolding Aaron and Andrew.
He rubbed his chin and guessed that it was most likely the video he sent to Simone, which her team took the opportunity to release.
Now is indeed a good time.
As for family disgrace and embarrassment, it did not have anything to do with him. He had long distanced himself from such people, and he couldn’t bear the burden alone.
If they were siblings, they would become famous together.
Their parents didn’t usually pay much attention to them anyway, so it was only fair that they share the blame now.
Also, Andrew truly deserved to be scolded; he was doing a good thing, after all.
Of course, he had to keep his involvement in leaking the video a secret from his
Otherwise, they would definitely punish him for that.
parents.
So, the blame for the situation falls on Aaron and Andrew.

The ‘sweet’ parental love should be borne by them after they finish their variety show.
Aaron, who was sitting and drinking coffee, sneezed several times in a row.
He looked up at Andrew, wondering if he was cursing him in his mind.
It’s true that no good deed goes unpunished; I shouldn’t have reminded him earlier.
He was looking forward to Andrew’s remorse over his actions.
Andrew remained oblivious to the online mockery and criticism.
Upon observing others chatting and laughing, he found himself unable to join in, sensing exclusion and isolation.
The urge to leave arose, but doing so would only intensify the embarrassment, compelling him to endure in silence.
Around nine o’clock, the group exited the inn, making their way to the night market.
As they left the inn, Zac, walking ahead of Andrew, remarked, “Aren’t you going to take care of your dear sister?”
Andrew was caught off guard and stayed silent. He knows exactly where to strike.
His emotions toward Jodie were complex at the moment. He was unsure of how to handle her, and he didn’t want to meet her.
He responded, “I’m participating in the show, so I have to prioritize my public image.”
Zac chuckled. “The night market can’t be live-streamed, so today’s variety show will end soon. It won’t affect anything; you can go take care of your sister.”
Andrew hesitated. “I also want to go to the night market; is that not allowed?” He preferred isolation at the night market over facing Jodie.
Zac smirked, “Sure, of course you can. I didn’t expect you to feel uncomfortable, too; I thought you were really that saintly and didn’t mind.”
Silence despite knowing the truth-doesn’t he understand the rules?
Andrew grumbled, “Can you please say less?”
Zac shrugged. “No, I can’t.”
This fool used to bully Simone a lot. I must make him experience the sting of hitting where it hurts.

Andrew choked again. “Tm really afraid of you.”
Zac sneered, “What’s the use of being afraid of me? I don’t need your luck.”
Andrew felt hurt again.
Upon recognizing Zac’s tendency to hit where it hurts, Andrew felt uneasy. He chose silence; arguing or provoking Zac was out of the question.
Upon hearing their conversation, the audience in the livestream found it both funny and frustrating.
They recognized Zac’s sharp tongue really hit the mark; he was definitely number one.
But all they wanted to say was, “Well done.”
Since they were unable to live-stream at the night market, they closed the livestream after leaving the inn.
Bailey led them through numerous alleys to the entrance of a large courtyard.
He knocked on the door.
A servant opened the door and greeted them.
Upon seeing Bailey, the servant’s initially expressionless face immediately revealed a respectful smile.
He made a welcoming gesture, “Master Shawn, you’re here. Please come in quickly!”
Bailey said, “I brought some friends to take a look. They are all my friends.”
The servant smiled and said, “There’s definitely no problem with the people you’ve brought.
Please come in!”
The others following Bailey understood in an instant that to enter the night market, they needed to be accompanied by someone familiar.
No wonder they hadn’t heard of it before, and there was no mention of it online.
Once inside, they followed Bailey through the main courtyard.
Then, a spacious area resembling a market came into view.
Instead of electric lights, the night market was illuminated by lanterns, evoking a sense of ancient night markets and adding a touch of history.

There were already a considerable number of people strolling around.
Everyone was filled with curiosity and amazement.
It turned out that there was a hidden world within this mansion, which explained why the night market remained undiscovered.

behold.
Some stalls sold cinnabar talisman pens and other tools, while others offered pre-made talismans and geomancy ornaments.
There were also numerous antique items, creating a dazzling display.
Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment.
Keira whispered to Simone while holding her, “Are all these antiques in the night market authentic?”
Simone replied, “Most of the items should be genuine, but their age may not necessarily be ancient. And many of the things here may not be suitable for you to purchase.”
Eric, who also enjoyed collecting antiques in his spare time, contemplated selecting a few to take home upon seeing the abundance of antiques at the night market.
Intrigued by Simone’s remark, he asked, “Why is that?”
