Chapter 60: Welcome, VIP Spender, to the Stream

A few minutes later, the woman reappeared in front of the viewers. Her hair was a bit messy, and her eyes were red, indicating she had been crying. Irene furrowed her brows, realizing the boy had hidden some of the facts from her. It was the worst-case scenario. "Honey, go play by yourself for a bit, okay? Mommy will handle this," the woman gently coaxed the boy, who happily ran off to play. The woman tried to calm down, and Irene offered a suggestion, "You should call the police right away. Let them take you and your child to collect evidence. This needs to be done within the next two hours." The woman nodded, her eyes filled with hatred. She had sent her child to a supposedly strict and safe private boarding school to ensure a good education, but this was what happened! She looked at the girl on the screen with respect and gratitude. "Thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, my husband and I would still be in the dark." Irene added, "Also, while your child seems very cheerful, I recommend you find a psychologist for him. He is actually very sensitive and thoughtful. Besides the physical harm, he needs psychological counseling." The woman's body trembled, her expression full of pain and guilt. Irene looked at her sympathetically, "It must be tough raising a child on your own." The woman was taken aback. Irene continued with a hint of concern, "What does your husband do? It would be best if he could work closer to home. A child growing up without a father's presence can develop psychological issues." "Also, your child is already aware of gender differences. As a mother, some things might be inconvenient for you." The woman looked a bit angry. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he comes back!" Irene smiled gently, "You also need to take care of yourself. Your dark circles are very noticeable. You need to protect your child, but also take good care of yourself." The woman nodded heavily, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I will!" Irene glanced at the woman's location posted on her social media and said, "I see you're also in A City. If you need any help, feel free to contact me. My address is on my profile." The woman nodded and quickly ended the call, taking the notes she had jotted down to call the police. Time ticked by. Since Irene had cut off the audio to privately talk to the boy, not only had the viewer count not decreased, but it had actually grown. The number of people in the stream fluctuated between 45,000 and 50,000. After a while, some viewers started to get impatient. 【What's going on? The host has been gone for so long. When is she coming back?】 【Just joined. Why is this stream so crowded when no one is talking?】 【Where's the host? Off saving the world?】 【Did you read the stream title? The host must be talking to a client privately.】 【No, earlier a boy connected with the host. To protect his privacy, she cut the audio.】 【The host is amazing. So many viewers even without talking!】 As the stream's popularity rose, the stream manager grew anxious. There were rules: if the screen didn’t change for a certain time, the host would get a warning. By now, the system had issued two warnings about account suspension. 【9:37: System detected current host account as a fake account. Host, please return to the stream immediately. First warning.】 【9:57: System detected current host account as a fake account. Host, please return to the stream immediately. Second warning.】 Irene returned just in time. She raised an eyebrow at the warnings and nonchalantly dismissed them. 【BlackCat: Host, is the kid okay?】 【WhoStoleMyToolbox: Just joined. What happened to the kid? Please tell us.】 Despite the high interest, the screen was flooded with comments. Irene didn't give in. 【Welcome to new viewers. For consultations, please queue up. Thank you for your support.】 【WhereIsMyHaagenDazs: Never mind anything else. Tell us what happened to the kid. I’m dying to know.】 【NotAJoker: Yeah, we’ve been waiting. Just tell us what happened.】 Just as the comments clamored for the outcome, a rain of golden light filled the screen. A flashy, multicolored sports car drove across the screen, followed by a burst of confetti. 【Welcome Super VIP A City’s Number One Handsome into the stream!】 The chat exploded. 【The host is amazing! Attracting a super VIP on the first day!】 【Impressive, host.】 【Sponsor Daddy, notice me.】 The excitement stemmed from the fact that achieving the super VIP level required spending at least a million on the platform. So much money. Many viewers watched with jealousy and admiration at the extravagant username. Moreover, A City’s Number One Handsome had immediately sent several Golden Guardians! Each Golden Guardian cost 500 Q Coins, and six of them together totaled 3,000 Q Coins. The special effects stacked beautifully. 【SiriusOfficialGirlfriend: Not only are you A City’s Number One Handsome, you’re the nation’s most handsome!】 【ExplodingBigBunny: Rich kid, do you need a girlfriend? Crying.】 【SweetTeaLovesMe: I’m just envious of the host. Making thousands on the first day!】 【A City’s Number One Handsome: How did you hook up with my brother? He promoted your stream on ins. I need to see what kind of enchantress you are.】 The super VIP’s comments, like their entrance, were gold and rainbow-colored. 【BlackCat: First day and we already have drama? Wow!】 【WhereIsMyHaagenDazs: No way. I was thinking of hiring a detective for something.】 【HappyFamily: Haha, drama to enjoy. How fun!】 Irene narrowed her eyes, seeing A City’s Number One Handsome’s comment. She brought him up and clicked to connect. The right side of the screen showed a figure. The person’s style matched his online persona, with a lavishly decorated background wall, a large bookshelf, and trendy curled hair. His face was only somewhat handsome. Seeing his face on the screen, he lifted his chin and snorted.
