Chapter 246
Turns out Jett messed up his leg pretty bad-the doctor said he’d need to rest it for two months, no heavy movement at all.
So Jett had to pull out of the rest of the filming.
That left Caleb all by himself.
Alicia headed back to Greenpeak Village, and the livestream kept rolling.
Marley turned to Caleb and asked, “Now that everyone on your team’s dropped out, are you gonna call in a friend or join another group?”
Caleb’s eyes lit up. “I had a great time working with Landon, so I’ll just join their group.”
That meant he’d get to team up with his sister.
But as soon as Caleb finished, Alicia jumped in, “Nope, I don’t want to be on his team.”
Landon added, “Honestly, teaming up with him was anything but fun-we were at each other’s throats most of the time. The viewers saw it all.
“So yeah, count me out too.”
Caleb didn’t really care about what Landon said, but it really hurt when Alicia shot him down in front of everyone.
He looked at her with a pitiful, wounded expression, but Alicia didn’t even spare him a glance.
Back then, she would’ve softened up for sure, but now she was as cold as ice.
That really hit him hard.
Realizing Alicia wasn’t going to budge, Caleb had to go with plan B. “Fine, I’ll join Mr. Graves’s team then.”
Simon just smiled and said, “Glad to have you, Caleb.”
Over the next few days, all the troublemakers were gone, and the other two teams just kept the livestream going as usual.
This time, the vibe switched from gossip and drama to wholesome, peaceful daily life.
And every day, viewers saw Caleb constantly trying to please Alicia, hoping she’d notice him.
He’d even make special trips to town just to buy her snacks, and was always pestering her,

asking what she needed or offering to do whatever she wanted.
But Alicia acted like he didn’t even exist, completely ignoring him.
At first, Caleb’s fans weren’t too happy about it.
But the rest of the fandom just joked that here comes another simp, and they were all enjoying the spectacle.
Everyone could see that Caleb and Alicia used to have a great sibling bond.
Too bad Nicole had to meddle and drive a wedge between them.
Eventually, even Caleb’s fans had to just accept it-he was simping so hard, they ended up joining in on the teasing too.
On top of that, they just couldn’t stop flaming Nicole online every day, calling her a walking disaster.
Alicia used to get the worst of it from all three fandoms, but now Nicole was getting dragged even harder.
Nicole was bleeding followers, and with her reputation in shambles, people started boycotting everything she endorsed.
Her endorsements got canceled, and to make it worse, she had to pay a bunch of contract penalties.
Payback hit her before she even knew what happened.
Just like that, this season’s livestream came to an end.
On the last day, Alicia said she’d be heading off to join a film crew soon, so she wouldn’t be part of the next season.
Landon, who was set to direct her movie, of course wouldn’t be joining either.
With Alicia gone, Caleb-who was only there for her-announced he wouldn’t be coming back, either.
Simon and Hannah would stay on to show the ropes to the new guests next season.
But Simon and Hannah both knew there was no way the show would ever pull in the same numbers or hype as it did in the first two seasons.
After wrapping up the show, Alicia and Landon caught a flight back to Irisport.
Jason had some business to take care of at his company, so he headed back a day early.

Chapter 241
Alicia spent more than a week back home in Irisport, relaxing while also diving deep into her research on Jett’s blood.
She’d already made some exciting discoveries and breakthroughs, and she was sure that with a little more time, she’d be able to develop the antidote.
One day, Sherry Miller, Alicia’s assistant, came back from a trip out of town.
Alicia poured her a glass of water. “Thanks for all your hard work lately.”
Sherry took a sip and smiled. “It’s no trouble at all.”
She went on, “I checked out several places where Mavis used to stay, and reached out to some of her ex-husband’s friends for information.
“I found an important lead.”
Smiling, Alicia asked, “What did you find?”
Since Alicia couldn’t bring her assistant for the second season, she had Sherry dig into Mavis’s history with her ex-husband.
In her previous life, Alicia had found out that Mavis had purposely pushed her ex-husband into gambling.
So she needed Sherry to dig up the evidence.
Turns out, Sherry didn’t just get the proof-she also uncovered something unexpected.
