Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)

It had been ages since she last saw her dad. He passed away when she was just a little girl, leaving her to shoulder the family's burdens all by herself.

So, the journey she'd been on wasn't something those keyboard warriors could just bash without understanding.

But now, hearing that someone from Stellar Stage Entertainment was involved, maybe she could find that person to vouch for her.

Taking a deep breath, she looked straight into the camera.

"My mom said the person who helped us worked at Stellar Stage Entertainment. I'll find this employee. And if Leona's gold bracelet has nothing to do with us, then her spilling this in her live stream to set you all on us, wasn't that wrong? Or let me guess, even if I find a witness to prove my mom didn't take her stuff, and she remains unscathed because she never officially accused us, just suspected, she's still your fairy-tale princess, right?"

Her tone was icy, her gaze steady.

"She climbed over me to get ahead, leading you all to cyberbully us that night, gaining over a million followers. It's clear she was in the wrong, guiding public opinion without solid evidence. And now you're telling me I'm at fault, calling my mom and me thieves? Why, just because we're nobodies in Beaconsfield, without any clout? Let me tell you, even if Leona herself showed up here, I'd still call her out - nothing but a damn drama queen!"

After her rant, Emma grabbed her cup and took a leisurely sip of water, then flashed a smile at the camera.

"Got a bit thirsty from all that shouting. No wellness tips today; some folks probably won't live long enough to need them."

Just then, her screen flashed with an image of a castle.

This castle was a top-tier donation effect, even pricier than a luxury yacht gift, costing a whopping $19,999 and it would be announced across the entire platform, declaring who gifted whom this dreamy castle.

Emma froze, almost thinking her eyes were deceiving her.

Until the words appeared at the top of her computer screen.

Congratulations, streamer Emma, for receiving a Dream Castle from user 0000.

Emma paused, bewildered for a few seconds before frowning.

Who was this?

Dropping twenty grand like it's nothing?

The Dream Castle was the biggest donation, visible in all live streams on the platform, attracting fans from other streams.

Instantly, Emma's viewer count soared to 100,000, with comments flooding in.

"Big spender alert!"

"User 0000, congrats on the windfall."

These were automatic praises from the system, followed by real viewer comments.

"Who dropped the castle? Holy smokes, twenty grand?"

"Who's 0000? Looks like a new account, just registered. Could it be the streamer's family?"

"You must be new here. The

streamer and her mom are from the countryside, total strangers in

Beaconsfield, dirt poor. The el

couldn't afford this."

With the influx of new fans, the negative comments were quickly buried.

Then they witnessed what it meant to be filthy rich.

Congratulations, streamer Emma, for receiving a Dream Castle from user 0000.

Repeated four times, meaning this user, without even a proper nickname, had just donated a total of a hundred thousand dollars!! Emma couldn't stay seated any longer, putting down her cup.

"Look, user 0000, you gotta stop. No

matter how much you donate, it won't get me back into the competition. At this point, I'm just sharing the platform's revenue. But still, thanks for the donation Wish you all the best."

Donations over ten thousand dollars would automatically crown the donor as the live stream's guardian lord.

Up till now, Emma had only one guardian lord, so user 0000's nickname instantly turned gold and appeared on everyone's screen.

Silent and mysterious, yet the online status showed they were there.

Others donating a few bucks would practically beg for the streamer to mention their names over and over.

But this donor remained silent after their grand gesture.

Now, Emma was the one lost for words. A hundred thousand dollars - what did that even mean? Who was this person?

And with those five special effects, the crowd from other live streams boosted the viewers to half a million. Her live stream was suddenly bustling, drawing attention to the streamer herself.

"Damn, look at that outfit! And what a striking presence! How does she not have more followers? Unreal!" "Who is 0000, dropping a hundred grand in less than five minutes?"

"No clue, but did you see the streamer's reaction? She's just as shocked. Must be her first time seeing such a huge donation"
