Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 38 "okay! Hurry up and go rest!" Feeling utterly exhausted, Grace could hardly keep her eyes open any longer. She moved to the side and instantly fell asleep.

Only then did Mandy notice Grace's knee was bleeding. The sight was gruesand horrifying, but since the camera was still colling, she couldn't say anything. Her admiration for Grace only rese Grace slept a total of four hours before she woke up to the sound of the driver talking to Mandy Mandy's tone was anxious as she said, "Let her sleep a little while longer. It's utterly disgusting what the other party is doing. How could they slanderus ke this? The drive was a middle-aged men working for Henderson Group Extandy, I think we should wake Ms. Lambert We can't wait any longer, or all our customers will run off!" "But she didn't get to sleep at all last night! At least let her have one more hour." The two tried to keep their voices soft, but Grace still woke up. Rubbing her temples, she asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Immediately, Mandy's eyes lit up with hope. "Grace, you're awake! It's Alice! For sreason, she has also joined the Farm Support Project a even mentioned you in her live stream, and now, everyone thinks you're here because you're trying to get a man! and is helping to sell apples too. She "Many have canceled their orders, and the system is about to break down. The platform is also putting pressure on us as they'll be reported if the cancellations continue. If this poes on, all of us will be implicated. What do we do?" Mandy was beyond panicked and close to tears. They had already sold so many orders the night before, yet not only had she failed to gain any sales since she took over the live stream but many of the original orders were being canceled as well.

Grace took up of water to soothe her sore throat. This indeed seemed like something Alice would do.

"Mandy, showAlice's live stream." Mandy quickly searched for Alice's live stream before showing it to ciran Compared to Grace's barebones setup, Alice's live stream was considerably more sophisticated. She also looked more like a capable working woman.

Though Alice was quite pretentious, there was no denying she was somewhat capable, or at least her live stream setup was relatively decent Most importantly, she had lowered the price significantly, selling the apples at 50 cents per pound. That want 20 pounds of apples only cost ten dolars! With Grace selling at eight dollars for five pounds, it was clear buying from Alice was the better option, with more value for money! As the icing on the cake, Alice had even accidentally mentioned how Grace had run away from hin hopes of making a nfor herself and changing her fiancé's mind about taking her back Hence, the nets all thought Grace was simply using the facade of aiding the farmers as a ruse to get her fiancé back, all while deliberately raising the price of the apples so that she could get a commission from The accusation of her wanting to gain a commission from the sales was clearly a serious matter.

Mandy scrubbed at her eyes, having obviously cried once already. "The live chat was filled with curses all afternoon, so I ended the stream because it was just too upsetting. Now, Alice's live stream is practically exploding with over 200 hundred thousand viewers Theard she has sell go thousand orders already" Taking a deep breath, Grace patted Mandy's shoulder. "Alright, don't panic. Start our live stream" Mandy instantly shook her head. "No way! You have no idea just how rude and mean those people were being" Seeing that, Grace started the live stream herself, but not without saying calmly, "It'll be fine. Since Alice wants to useto boost her popularity, Lean do the same." Her live stream had done very well last night, yet Alice had deliberately accused her of putting on an act to gain views. There was no way she would take this lying down Mandy eyed Grace's injured knee, her gaze filled with worry and concern. "deace, maybe you should get your knee looked at first? They're already inflamed. What if it's tetanus? That would be very troublesome." But Grace was already smiling at the camera.

As Mandy had said, the live chat was filled with curses and insults at her.

"What a shot! The farmers put in their blood, sweat, and tears to produce so ΟΠΙ these fruits, yet you eco disgusting as to use them for your benefit. You deserve to die! To think we placed so many orders last night" "Seems like the streamer in the other room was right. She really is selling apples so she could seduce a man!

"She must have been delirious with joy at all the praises she received for her beauty. We have to report this 'live stream! Everyone who placed an order last night, please cancel it "tuthy,disgusting slut! Your face is enough to makehurt!" Grace ignored all the insults as she sent out a challenge livvitation to Alice.

The live chat was silent for a brief moment before it erupted with comments.

What was this woman doing? Was she seriously challenging Alice head-un?

Alice hadn't expected Grace to challenge her either. She didn't really want to accept the challenge but the viewers heckled her, en asking if she was scared. There was no way she would be scared of that bitch, Grace After she accepted the request, their live streams merged into one screen She hadn't been aware before this, but upon having her delicately made-up lace placed next to Grace's barrone, she realized she held no advantage over beauty Jealousy flashed in her eyes, but then she spoke up gently, "Grace, 1 didn't expect you to be in Southbrook as well. Our family is really worried about you." when it cto
