Chapter 45 Correct Decision
Jasper's words instantly tempted Mia.
However, Mia stopped Jasper from going through with it.
She bit her lip. "Jasper, no, don't do that.
Since Kendall left the Hansen family, she hasn't had any other source of income, and she must have gone to great lengths to get on this show.
.. My second brother already knows Kendall will be on the program, so it wouldn't be good if you did this. "
Jasper sighed. "Mia, you're just too kind."
Jasper suddenly remembered something, the incident where Kendall pushed Mia into the pool at the Hansen family villa after she was discharged from the hospital. He had been away on a business trip at the time and hadn't gotten a chance to settle the score with Kendall.
Kendall had moved out of the Hansen family's house, and if he had her removed from the show, who knew when he'd see her again.
Jasper's eyes narrowed, hinting at a darker meaning. "Keeping her on is fine. I haven't settled the score with her for pushing you into the water last time."
Hearing that Jasper planned to avenge her, Mia was naturally delighted, but she told Jasper not to act impulsively.
Jasper vaguely agreed, but who knew what he was truly thinking in his heart.

After the production team released the TikTok post, the nine guests who were tagged all reposted it. Kendall was no exception.
Although Kendall had guessed Mia might be involved during the promotional photoshoot, seeing Mia's picture officially announced still made Kendall admire the production team's knack for creating drama.
As for the netizen's boycotts and malicious comments against her, Kendall quickly scanned them and then closed the comments section.
She reposted the program's TikTok post on her own account with three emojis, [happy.jpg] [happy.jpg] [happy.jpg].
She expressed her current mood three times, just in case the netizens didn't realize how happy she was.
After posting, Kendall ignored the rapidly increasing number of unread messages on her account and exited the app.
Kendall had logged off, but the other netizens hadn't. More and more informed netizens were tagged and came to see the guest list, and the comments section instantly exploded.
The production team's staff even quietly counted that for every ten new comments, five or six were about Kendall, and all of them were negative.
The assistant reported the netizen's comments to producer Simon, who raised an eyebrow, picked up his phone, and glanced at the comments beneath the official TikTok account. Not only was he not worried, but he also smiled. "Sure enough, signing Kendall to the program was the correct decision."
When producing a show, the fear isn't being discussed, the fear is not being discussed at all!
The assistant looked hesitant. "But I see that the netizens are all boycotting Miss Kendall."
"What does that matter? The more they boycott now, the more they'll rush to watch once the show airs. They'll actually become our first batch of viewers." Simon wasn't worried at all. "If they don't watch the show, how can they continue to criticize Kendall?"
The assistant felt that Simon made a very valid point. She nodded, looking as though she had learned a valuable lesson.
The online verbal attacks and slander didn't affect Kendall in the slightest, primarily because she wasn't on TikTok to see them.
After the production team released the promotional photos online, they naturally announced the program's filming schedule simultaneously.
Unlike previous seasons, the program intended to use a full-day live stream combined with edited recordings for this season. The guests were scheduled to enter the camp the week after next.
Kendall looked at the entry date announced by the production team and then glanced at her remaining life expectancy. By the time she entered the camp, she would only have fifteen days of life left, and the program was scheduled to film for a month.
She had to catch a few more criminals during these two weeks before entering the camp.
Kendall summoned the system and checked the mission board for local tasks.
Since she had signed up for sparring sessions at the martial arts gym, Kendall decided against traveling far to catch a criminal. Kendall randomly clicked on a local mission.
Criminal's photo: [picture.jpg]
Criminal's name: Ali
Criminal's age: 26
Criminal's crime: Fraud
Criminal's hideout: Oakhaven University Dormitory Building
> [Time limit: 1 week. Reward: +5 days of life and +50 karma.]
'5 days of life and 50 karma?'
Kendall was a little surprised by this multiple. Before she could ask, the system immediately poured the detailed criminal history into Kendall's mind.
Kendall, forced to watch the entire process: "..."
'Absolutely revolting!'
A highly educated graduate student from the prestigious Oakhaven University was simultaneously dating sixteen girlfriends?
Not even octopus has that many legs to cheat with!
'Scumbag! You're the next one I'm catching!'
Kendall clicked to accept the mission.
After accepting the mission, Kendall's gaze lingered on the system screen. She raised her hand and clicked on the system store.
After purchasing the three system backpacks last time, Kendall had 133 karma left. These past few days, Kendall had been checking the system store's flash sale page daily to see if there was anything she was interested in.
The previous flash sale items were either too expensive to afford or affordable but not immediately useful.
Kendall's gaze landed on the product page, and her expression suddenly grew serious when she saw a particular item.
Item 1: [Doraemon's Pocket]
Description: A magical pocket that can hold anything and contains everything.
Price: 1,000,000 karma
Item 2: [Fully Automatic Micro Monitor]
Description: A convenient micro monitor with a cute bear appearance. Nanoparticle camera, waterproof, fireproof, shockproof, solar-charged, 90% new.
Price: 30 karma
Item 3: [Dragon Tooth Fossil]
Description: A tooth shed by a juvenile dragon during teething. Although it has become a fossil, the residual dragon's aura remains and can scare away many small animals.
Price: 100 karma
Kendall immediately set her sights on the second item, Fully Automatic Micro Monitor. She would be dealing with criminals more and more often, and it wouldn't be like before where witness and material evidence were readily available.
In the future, she might need to collect evidence herself. Having this micro monitor on hand would be a preventative measure. Although it was a 90% new, unused item, its functions suggested technology more advanced than what was available in Astoria.
At the very least, Kendall couldn't buy this kind of micro monitor on the market. Even if she could illegally obtain one through other means, the quality wouldn't be this good.
Kendall clicked to buy the small and exquisite Fully Automatic Micro Monitor.
Upon successful purchase, the micro monitor immediately appeared in Kendall's hand.
It looked like a cute little bear accessory that could be clipped onto clothing like a brooch or hung on a bag.
Kendall inspected it thoroughly. If you didn't know it was a micro monitor, you wouldn't be able to spot the camera lens with the naked eye.
After connecting it to her phone, it would automatically upload the captured footage to Kendall's mobile. This was exactly what Kendall needed!
