They had even gathered the medicinal herbs themselves. Hence, the leftovers made her upset. 4 discussion erupted in the live stream comment section: Selina, dear, this medicinal diet of yours looks so delicious.

(Even members of the Clusian Medicinal Diet Association, including the president, are showing up. Is Ms. Harvey's medicinal diet really that impressive?] Come on, this
in just a gimmick. They're scripting this for views. Who'd believe it's real?]
[Can a medicinal diet be so good it's legendary! Tve never encountered such a thing in my life.
[They probably hired a bunch of actors to pretend to be members of the Clusian Medicinal Diet Association. What a joke!
The doubts came from fans of Joseph and Ashley, ghostwriters, and the ever-present netizens who could not resist stirring up trouble. The production scam anticipated this and promptly aired a video in a corner of the live stream, showing their contact with Lucas and the others. The foutage left no room for doubt as these were the real people, not actors. The naysayers were silenced, left with nothing to say.
Unaware of the online drama. Selina and the others continued their evening Ashley, however, was seething with jealousy as she watched everyone shower Selina with compliments, completely ignoring her presence. She could practically feel her teeth grinding in frustration. For that evening. Ashley had gone to great lengths to draw attention to herself With new ingredients in hand, she prepared a stuffed chicken. She meticulously cleaned and seasoned the dish, insisting on doing everything herself, barely allowing Joseph and Garrett to help as she planned to showcase her diligence, skills, and hardworking nature on the livestream, contrasting herself with the typical pampered heiress to win over the viewers.

The enticing aroma of Selina's medicinal diet was simply too overwhelming. Despite the deliciousness of Ashley's stuffed chicken, it paled in comparison to the allure of Selina's cooking. The two men ate with an almost pained expression, pretending to enjoy the meal to avoid hurting Ashley's feelings. However, Ashley noticed their forced smiles and felt even worse. The entire meal was a to
a torturous experience.
Another round of discussion erupted: [Does anyone else feel like Mr. Harvey is eating out of obligation?]
[Not really. Ashley's stuffed chicken looks mouthwatering!]
[I'm pretty sure Gary is faking it. He's not much of an actor, though. He should stick to being a hardworking singer.]
[Is Selina's medicinal diet that good? Even to the point where Mr. Harvey and Gary can't enjoy anything else? And now all these medicinal diet experts from Clusia are joining in?] [Honestly... I'd love to try it, but I bet it's a script. How good can one dish be?]
