Chapter 651 Sweet Extra - Couple Variety Show 136
Since the show had just announced an hour ago that Lester and Rachel were leaving, Instagram was buzzing with speculation about what kind of conflict could have caused their sudden departure.
The official statement from the show was very diplomatic, simply stating that due to personal scheduling conflicts, Lester and Rachel could no longer continue filming. They had only participated in the first two episodes, and the show would invite other guests to fill their spots.
But Rachel had posted on Instagram half an hour ago: [People with privileges can always call the shots, truly envious.]
She also included a cartoon of a little rabbit being kicked away by a big gray wolf.
Initially, everyone thought she was hinting at her sudden departure from the show, but Rachel then commented under her post: [Just took on a new role in a movie. The script is interesting, just expressing how the female lead often faces an unfair fate and is repeatedly oppressed by authority. Just feeling for the character, don't overthink it.]
Didn't overthink it.
This ambiguous Instagram post and comment were enough to make everyone speculate whether Jessica and Gabriel had bullied her off the show.
After all, in this kind of reality show, everyone is a star, and no one has the ultimate backing. But with Gabriel's unique status, the so-called authority and calling the shots pointed to Gabriel and Jessica.
Rachel's implication was that she was forced out.
Melissa, who usually appeared innocent and friendly with everyone but was very perceptive, seemed relieved when she heard Rachel was leaving.
Now, she reminded Jessica to check Instagram, then exchanged a glance with her, silently asking whether they should explain or just let it be.
Jessica didn't want to bring negative attention to the show, and Rachel had left unwillingly. On one hand, she didn't want to openly offend anyone, but on the other, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent, even if it was in a two-faced manner.
"Let's leave it for now. I'll check in the morning. If it doesn't escalate, let her vent for the night. If it does, it's not hard to handle. It depends on how far she wants to take it." Jessica wasn't too concerned, placing her phone back by her pillow and smiling at Melissa: "Don't chase a cornered enemy."
Women had strong intuition, and Rachel's attitude towards Gabriel was obvious to any observer.
But no one said anything.
Hearing Jessica's comment, Melissa understood her meaning, smiled, and continued scrolling through other Instagram posts and news.
Jessica turned over, seeing Gabriel with his eyes closed, likely already asleep. She moved closer to him, bringing their sleeping bags together.
Just as she closed her eyes to sleep, she felt Gabriel's hand reach over, gently pulling her into his arms and softly stroking her hair. He opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "The show will handle it properly. You don't need to get involved."
He must have heard everything.
Jessica nestled her face into his neck, closed her eyes, and said, "I know. These subtle digs from female stars are common. I'm used to it and know what's important. Don't worry about her."
