Chapter 207 The Wife Belongs to You Alone
At this point, Finnian changed the subject, "But Brandon, I gotta warn you, your love rivals have gone from just Uly to hundreds of thousands of people! There's no doubt your wife's performance today won over a lot of fans!"
"I just checked, and tons of people are already flooding Uly's Twitter asking for Candice's handle. Some bold ones are even calling Candice their wife!"
Brandon's frown deepened when he heard the last part.
He asked, "Where?"
Finnian handed his phone directly to Brandon.
The comments were packed, nine out of ten calling Candice 'wife' or 'goddess.'
Brandon stared at those two words, his eyes practically shooting fire.
He asked, clearly annoyed, "Can we do something about this?"
Finnian was confused, "What do you want to do?"
Brandon said coldly, "Contact the platform and ban the word 'wife' from appearing!"
Candice could only be HIS wife!
Finnian couldn't help but laugh.
He tried to keep a straight face as he told Brandon, "Brandon, that's definitely not going to work. Fans nowadays all call their idols that, your idea just isn't realistic. I know you're upset, but think about it this way - those people can only talk. Candice isn't really their wife."
"You're different. Out of all those people, you're the only one who's actually married to her, the only one who can have children with her. Candice is completely yours! So there's no need to be jealous!"
Brandon still frowned.
But he gradually realized his idea really wasn't realistic, and finally just snorted coldly, reluctantly accepting Finnian's suggestion.
Only then did Finnian breathe a sigh of relief!
Meanwhile, in the production team.
Facing Vesper's questioning, Vance was about to explain to everyone.
However, Ulysses beat him to it, saying with a smile, "Sorry to disappoint you, but we really did complete the hidden task! This morning, after Candice and I set out, we went to the village's only pottery workshop and helped paint ceramic pieces, completing this episode's hidden theme task - which was Candice's idea."
"At noon, Candice used her medical skills to treat Mr. Grayson, the pottery craftsman, for his leg injury that had bothered him for years, and his condition improved significantly."
"In the afternoon, when Mr. Grayson took us to see his collection, it was my Candice who discovered a Victorian-era artifact among his pieces."
"The production team immediately called in an expert to authenticate it, and the results are confirmed that artifact has now been taken by the cultural heritage protection unit!"
"From ceramics to traditional medicine to cultural relics - all of these are traditional culture. So we deserve this first place. Vesper, you shouldn't have any objections now, right?"
After hearing Uly's words, the other guest groups looked completely stunned.
Pearl was the first to recover, clapping hard, "Oh my god, we're all doing tasks, but how are you guys so amazing?"
Sawyer also laughed, saying, "Now I understand why you're always bragging about your sister, turns out Candice has been hiding her talents!"
Phaedra also looked amazed, saying, "Uly, is Candice really that talented? Not only does she know medicine, but she can authenticate artifacts too?"
Seeing everyone praising Candice, Ulysses was very proud, "Of course, my Candice is amazing!"
Vesper's face was practically twisted.
She never imagined that Candice could accomplish so much in such a short time!
Why!
Why did she still have to lose to that bitch Candice even in this place!
Vesper really couldn't accept this result.
Even though she tried hard to control her expression, her face still looked pretty bad.
Xavier, on the other hand, said graciously, "Looks like we lost fair and square! We accept this result!"
At this moment, the online comments were even more heated.
[Did you see Vesper's face!]
[Why does watching this show feel so satisfying?]
[Look at Uly, the way he's bragging about Candice - he really loves her!]
[He wasn't even this proud when he won Best Actor!]
[Xavier lost gracefully, but some people are just... hard to describe.]
[LOL, who was pretending to be gracious just now?]
[Fake first place!]
Just then, a staff member suddenly rushed in and told Vance, "Mr. Evans, a bunch of villagers are outside. They say they want to find Candice to treat them."
Vance was surprised and looked outside.
The others also looked and saw a dozen or so elderly people carrying various foods, telling the staff outside, "We heard from Hayes that there's a miracle doctor here who cured his leg injury that he'd had for years. I also have an old leg injury - can the miracle doctor take a look at us too?"
"Yeah, I have an old condition too. Whenever the weather changes, it acts up and hurts so much that I can't sleep. Please let the miracle doctor see me too?"
"Right, please, we'll give you whatever food you want, and if you can cure us, we can pay money too!"
In all his years of producing variety shows, Vance had never encountered a situation like this.
If it were just one or two people, that would be fine, but this many?
Even if Uly's sister really wanted to help, how could she handle it all by herself?
But since the villagers came looking for Candice, Vance couldn't refuse on her behalf.
So everyone looked at Candice, as if waiting for her to decide.
Candice hadn't expected that helping Hayes with his leg condition would bring so many people!
She walked over calmly and asked the villagers, "What problems do you all have?"
The villagers all talked at once.
The scene became chaotic for a moment.
After listening to several voices, Candice found that the elderly all had various old injuries to some degree.
Probably left over from working too hard in the past.
For Candice, treatment wasn't difficult, and helping them wouldn't be a problem.
But the key issue was that with so many people, she didn't have enough time.
They still had to film the show tomorrow.
Looking troubled, she instinctively looked at Ulysses.
Seeing this, Ulysses immediately patted her head and stepped forward to tell Vance, "Could we change tomorrow's filming to a free clinic? The way things have developed is somewhat unexpected, but winning or losing doesn't matter to us anymore."
"Treating illnesses for the elderly in the village is also a meaningful thing, don't you think?"
Hearing Uly's suggestion, Vance didn't agree right away.
He hesitated.
Today's filming had gone so well, bringing huge traffic and interest to the show.
He'd been hoping that tomorrow could produce more exciting content to maintain the buzz.
If they switched to a free clinic, he worried the effect would be much less impressive.
Unable to decide, Vance instinctively looked toward where the investors were.
He was surprised to see Brandon nod, indicating his agreement!
Brandon naturally supported whatever Candice wanted to do.
Others might not have noticed Vance's subtle gesture, but Candice's sharp eyes caught it, she knew that person was Brandon.
But why was Vance looking at Brandon?
Didn't the production team's decision-making power rest with Vance?
Candice was puzzled.
After getting Brandon's approval, Vance had no more concerns.
He immediately said, "Since Uly and Candice have this idea, our production team naturally has no objections! Healing and helping others are virtues. Tomorrow's free clinic doesn't stray from the show's original purpose."
"After dinner tonight, we can discuss what you need, and our production team can provide some appropriate support."
Ulysses broke into a cheerful smile and thanked Vance, "Thanks so much!"
After that, Ulysses went out to tell the villagers the news.
"Everyone, your request came too suddenly, we haven't prepared anything, and we don't have any medicinal herbs here. Could you please come back tomorrow morning?"
"We'll set up a free clinic location then and examine and treat everyone together, okay?"
