Noah cleared his throat lightly, “I haven’t seen high school math in a long time, let me take a look first.”
“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry!”
“Don’t worry, Emperor Brother, your time spent reviewing the question will count as part of the tutoring session, I’ll have Dad settle it for you!”
Mrs. Newton, who had been watching the live broadcast from the hotel, immediately guessed her son’s dilemma.
She called the director to apply pressure.
The director, clearly having anticipated that

Noah would struggle with the question, had already sent someone with a cue card to assist.
So, ten minutes later, Scarlett, who had been daydreaming about her idol, saw a staff member sneaking up behind the
cameraman.
He was holding a white cue card.
It had the step–by–step solution to the question written on it, including every line!
Her smile slowly faded, and a sense of unease crept over her.
It turned out that her idol really didn’t know the answer.
Now, behind the scenes, they had to fake it, deceiving all the fans.

Scarlett couldn’t accept that her idol was lying to his fans, but he was someone she had admired for many years. She couldn’t bring herself to expose him!
At the same time, she was anxious about what would happen if this got out. Noah would be mocked by the entire internet, and as his die–hard fan, she would also face ridicule.
Noah, following the cue card, read the solution aloud. He was a great actor, able to remember all the lines with just a glance, and if he couldn’t, he’d quickly sneak a look at the cue card while adjusting his glasses.
So the viewers in the live chat didn’t notice anything unusual.
However, Scarlett wasn’t focused. She spent

an entire hour explaining a single problem.
She had already paid 2,100 dollar, but she hadn’t absorbed anything. She was still stuck on the fact that her idol was deceiving his fans.
After the session, Noah glanced at his sister, who was absorbed in her novel.
He told the cameraman, “Turn off the live broadcast for a moment. My mic is malfunctioning, I need to adjust it.”
The mic was attached to his body, so adjusting it required lifting his clothes.
Everyone thought he didn’t want to show his body on camera.
The cameraman cooperated and turned off the camera, and the fans in the live chat

started begging to see his abs.
However, after the cameraman turned off the camera, Noah immediately kicked him out.
He turned to Scarlett and apologized seriously: “I’m sorry, I haven’t dealt with math problems in a long time, so I didn’t understand the question earlier.”
Scarlett nodded awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. She was disappointed in her idol.
“If you give me a little more time, I’ll definitely understand. It’s just that the longer we take during the live session, the worse it is for the show.”
“Anti–fans and rivals will use this opportunity to attack me, and the program will be dragged down. You’ll also be attacked by netizens because you’re my fan.”

“Your grandmother is already old, and she can’t take such stress. So, can we keep this as our little secret?”
Noah gently persuaded, “I know you must be disappointed in me as a fan, but I promise that when I go back, I’ll review my high. school courses and make sure there won’t be any more problems next time.”
Scarlett, simple–hearted, was moved by Noah’s sincere apology and promise to improve.
She was both excited and warmed by his kindness. He was so great!
So what if he faked it? He didn’t mean to!
It was her fault for asking such a difficult question, almost making her idol

embarrassed.
Luckily, the program team found a solution. Otherwise, she would have been the one to blame for ruining Emperor Brother’s reputation!
“Okay, Emperor Brother, I believe you! I’ll keep the secret!” Scarlett’s smile returned.
Noah let out a sigh of relief, ruffled Scarlett’s hair, and praised her in a loving tone.
“Good girl!”
Scarlett, flattered, was so caught up in the praise that she didn’t even notice when he left.
Sylvia had been sulking and ignored Noah all the way.

Noah helplessly tried to cheer her up: “Why y are you angry?”
“Brother, you ruffled another girl’s hair! Youu don’t like Sylvia anymore!”
“Of course, I like Sylvia. You’re my precious little sister.”
Just as they were having this sweet moment, they heard Hope shouting loudly.
“Move out of the way!”
They turned to see Hope speeding down the hill on a tricycle, rushing past them like a gust of wind.
Sylvia jumped in surprise, clutching her heart, “Brother! How could Hope deliberately scare us like that? It’s too much!”

“The tricycle’s brakes are broken.”
Hope’s cameraman hurried past, chasing after her.
Noah’s gaze darkened as he watched Hope disappear, secretly worried that she might get hurt.
But then he remembered Hope’s malice, her greed, and her hypocrisy, and forced the concern down, pulling Sylvia’s hand.
“Let’s go back. We’ve got the part–time job money, let’s clean up the house first.”
“Brother, aren’t you going to move in with. me?”
Noah hesitated, recalling Hope’s disdain for him.

“I won’t move in. I’ll stay at that haunted house.”
“But that house is so dirty!” Even though it was a prop set up by the show, it still looked disgusting.
“We have money now. We can hire a cleaning crew.”
During the first recording, Noah hadn’t
cleaned the house. He had just closed the kitchen door and used curtains to cover the bloodstains on the floor, not even staying in the bedroom.
The person who stayed in that room that day was his assistant while he secretly stayed in Sylvia’s rooftop room.
Sylvia was a little disappointed but
obediently replied.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Brother.“”
Anyway, not returning the house wouldn’t affect them living together.
As for Hope, after speeding down the slope, she couldn’t stop the tricycle and ended up circling around a small alley until the speed slowed down.
She finally stopped by using her feet as brakes, leaning against the wall and panting heavily.
Sweat drenched her face, and she was flushed with excitement.
She had finished her water delivery!
The people in the urban village were simple–hearted. They helped her when they

saw her delivering water, so Hope’s part–timene job went smoothly today.
She got off the tricycle and pushed it towardrd a small store.
Jimmy was smoking at the door. Seeing that Hope was back so early with no water left on the cart, he suspiciously asked, “Did you finish all the deliveries?”
“Finished. Time to settle the payment.”
Jimmy didn’t believe it. He casually made a phone call to confirm that the water had indeed been delivered.
Afterward, he looked Hope up and down, “You really have some skills!”
He wasn’t praising Hope’s abilities but sarcastically mocking the program team. On

the surface, they made the stars do manual labor, but behind the scenes, they were secretly helping them out.
He assumed that the water was delivered by the program staff.
“It’s still early. Do you want to take care of the warehouse work too?”
Hope stretched out her hand, “No, pay me first.”
Jimmy was displeased, “My part–time job settles the payment after you finish 100 dollar worth of work. You only delivered four buckets of water today. At five dollar per bucket, that’s only 20 dollar.”
“If you help me organize the warehouse, I’ll pay you an extra 80 dollar, making it a full 100 dollar.”
