Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne Chapter 170: Scam Call 2

"Ugh, don’t get started. I just graduated from college and couldn’t find a job. My roommate said he knew an ad agency that was hiring, so a bunch of us from my class who are close went to apply. We actually passed the interview, believe it or not. But not even a month in, I ssed up big ti, botched a deal, and got fired.

That’s not even the worst of it. The boss threatened to sue us, so we had no choice but to agree to pay damages."

The live chat went wild. [These scamrs are getting bolder and bolder! Even celebrities are getting scam calls!]

[Riley Perry is sothing else! She can spin a lie at the drop of a hat. And I gotta say, her acting is pretty convincing!]

The person on the other end of the line was clearly in a good mood. "Oh, that’s an easy fix. I’ve got several open positions over here. We’ll take all of you, no matter how many there are. If you confirm you’re coming, I can even prepay your travel expenses!"

Riley Perry asked, "Really? You can really prepay our travel expenses? In that case, we’ll definitely co! Where is your company located?"

The person hesitated for a mont before revealing their location. "In the Province of Tyria. You can book your flights right now. Just tell what ti you’ll land, and I’ll send soone to pick you up."

Riley Perry imdiately switched from the call screen and searched for flights to the Province of Tyria and their prices. "A flight to the Province of Tyria costs 4,429 yuan per person. There are twelve of us. Can you really arrange jobs for all of us when we get there?"

The person on the other end hesitated for a split second.

Riley sighed. "You know what, forget it. I don’t think we’ll go. I just rembered the other day that the complex I live in is hiring security guards. The pay is a little low, but at least we wouldn’t have to leave ho and travel so far away..."

"No, wait! Our company can arrange everything. Just give an account number, and I’ll transfer the money for the plane tickets right away."

Riley Perry promptly rattled off her bank account number and hung up.

Director Warren had already run out, looking at Riley Perry with a nervous expression. "Don’t worry," Riley said. "I’m just going to report this to the police first."

Director Warren: ’...’ ’You really know the ropes, don’t you?’

"Hello, this is the 911 dispatch center."

"Hello, my na is Riley Perry. I’m currently filming the reality show ’Go on an adventure together.’ I just received a scam call. The person on the other end tried to trick into going to the Province of Tyria for a job. The phone number is 189-****-4490. I just gave them my bank account number, and they might transfer money to ."

The female operator was montarily stunned. "You’re saying you gave *your* account number to *them*, not that they gave you *their* account number for you to send money?"

"Correct. He said he was going to send money for the plane tickets. I don’t know if he’ll actually transfer it, though."

The operator was, for lack of a better word, impressed.

Just then, Riley Perry’s phone pinged. She glanced at it. "Officer, they sent the money. Sixty thousand in total. What should I do with it?"

The operator was flabbergasted. ’Did the scamr lose his mind? He actually sent money to his own target?’

"We’ve officially filed your report. I’ll notify my colleagues to trace the caller’s location imdiately. Also, if they contact you again, please try to keep them on the line for as long as possible and get them to reveal more information. Call us anyti if anything cos up."

After hanging up, Riley Perry looked at Director Warren with a smile. "Shall we continue the ga?"

Director Warren: ’Continue the ga, my ass! The live chat is exploding. You just sweet-talked a scamr out of sixty thousand yuan! You scamd a scamr! Who’s in the mood to play gas anymore?’

"What ga?! Should we stop the livestream? What if the scamr finds out you’re playing him? Will that scare him off?"

The live chat was on fire. [Don’t stop! You can’t stop! Director Warren, if you dare stop the stream, we’re never coming back! We want to see Riley Perry beco a scamr to scam the scamr!]

[Oh my god, this is the first ti I’ve ever seen soone scam money *from* a scamr. How does Riley Perry’s brain even work?]

[Everyone, just watch quietly! Don’t you dare get this trending, or you’ll scare the scamr away!]

[I quietly told my kid to co watch the livestream so he’d learn a thing or two about not getting scamd. Now I’m worried he’s going to learn the wrong lesson...]

[LMAO at the person above . This is clearly a wholeso, educational livestream.

Don’t worry, kids don’t go bad that easily!]

[Riley Perry has to be the first person in history to scam a scamr.]

Just then, Riley Perry received a text ssage: *No need to stop. Continue filming the show, just don’t ntion what just happened.*

Riley Perry showed the phone to Director Warren, who breathed a sigh of relief. The show’s viewership had nearly doubled. If he stopped the livestream now, the losses would be imnse.

"Why don’t you all do a talent show?" he suggested. One performance from each of them, and they could wrap up the livestream.

Just as the cast mbers were discussing what talents to perform, evidence that Holly Sumrs had hired paid trolls to slander Riley Perry was posted online.

Less than twenty minutes later, a video of Holly Sumrs and two friends engaged in promiscuous acts with others at a bar was also leaked.

Netizens, knowing full well that such a video would be taken down quickly, scrambled to download and save it. Afterward, thanks to their association with Holly Sumrs, her two Z-list friends were also doxxed, and just like that, two more entertainnt careers ca to an abrupt end.

Since "Go on an adventure together" was such a popular show, netizens flooded into the livestream’s chat.

The number of concurrent viewers in the livestream at one point broke fifty million.

[Soone point to the main character of the orgy flick!]

[She probably has no idea what’s happening online. Look at that disgusting smile!]

[Holly Sumrs, get off the show!]

[Holly Sumrs, get out of showbiz!]

[This chick just said she’s never even been in a relationship, and it turns out she’s having orgies with people. OMG, I’m gonna be sick!]

[The person who leaked the video probably couldn’t stand how disgusting she is either. What a brutal takedown, you can hear the slaps from here~]

With so many people discussing it, the show’s staff inevitably noticed.

Jacobs, who was monitoring the feed, told Director Warren what was happening.

Director Warren’s face turned ashen!

"Pause the livestream! Turn off all the caras!"

Best Actor King asked curiously, "Director Warren, what’s going on?"

Director Warren beckoned directly to Holly Sumrs. "Holly Sumrs, co over here."

Holly Sumrs asked, "Director, what is it?"

With a dark expression, Director Warren handed Holly Sumrs her phone. "See for yourself."

Holly Sumrs: "..."

She unlocked her phone and saw the two trending topics about her. The color drained from her face, and she began to panic.

"I didn’t do it! It’s all fake! Riley Perry and I are friends, why would I slander her? Soone must have photoshopped those pictures on purpose!"

"The evidence is all over the internet, and you’re still calling it fake? Just withdraw from the show. As for the breach of contract penalty, I’ll have my assistant discuss it with you."

Holly Sumrs shook her head, refusing to admit to anything. After all, if she confessed, her career would be over.

Riley Perry’s right hand twitched. A talisman appeared silently in her palm. An invisible wave of Spiritual Power shot out from her, carrying the talisman with it. It flew directly toward Holly Sumrs, so fast that not even the caras could capture it. The mont the talisman touched Holly Sumrs, it vanished.
