Chapter 73: The Streamer's Husband is a Millionaire?

Witch's Apple bit her lip. She was sure that what the other party wanted wasn't just a meal. But Money Brother was her top supporter. Losing him would cut her streaming income by at least half, which Witch's Apple couldn't accept. Then she remembered the ten thousand dollars—her share would be six thousand! So she smiled again. "Money Brother, if you come to the capital, I'll treat you to dinner. How could I let you pay?" Witch's Apple was just being polite, and Money Brother didn't mind. Seeing her in person was enough. After that, a series of "Angel's Heart" gifts kept appearing in Witch's Apple's live stream, restoring it to its previous popularity. [Charger: Still need to see Money Brother! Big boss!] [Apple is the Best: The neighboring streamer is still trying, but can they outdo my Money Brother? No way!] [Love Apple Even if it's Poisonous: Exactly, all super VIPs, but Money Brother's gifts look the best!] Witch's Apple smiled warmly and gracefully, feeling particularly happy. However, her joy didn't last two minutes before the same annoying agency from earlier started spamming her stream again. [Wait, why is the neighboring stream still getting gifts?] [Apple is the Best: I just came back and they're still gifting—already thirty meteors.] [Charger: No way, does that person have that much money? That's almost half a million!] Even the viewers were stunned, and the section head was alerted. Initially, the junior manager had just casually signed Irene up. It would be great if she got selected; if not, it didn't matter. Unexpectedly, someone in Irene's stream was actually competing for the top spot. So impressive. The section head smiled and patted the junior manager's shoulder. "Good job, lots of potential." The junior manager smiled, feeling both excited and complex. Earlier, the FBI had contacted him, saying they wanted to award Irene a certificate because the clues provided by a viewer named "Moon Not Full" were crucial in their pursuit of a human trafficking ring, advancing the case significantly. He was so scared at first, thinking he was in trouble. Now, watching the data backstage, he couldn't stop smiling. When the gift amount reaches a certain level, not only does the streamer get more money, but they also get bonuses! The two managers excitedly watched the stream. Unexpectedly, the newly signed streamer remained calm. "Thank you for the gifts, sir, but you're sending too much. It's a waste of money. Why not give it to me in person?" Irene said, making a small joke. She had spent considerable time confirming her feelings, even reducing her interest in Frank and contacting Emil less. Yet, Irene didn't feel she was missing out. Her full, rosy lips curved as she tested Stefan. [Black Cat's Cat: What's going on? The streamer seems to know the rich guy!] [Tyrannosaurus097: Whether they know each other or not, the streamer's reaction is so calm, worth learning from!] [SleepyHorse: I found fifty bucks and was happy for half a day. The streamer gets so much money and stays so calm. I'm so jealous.] Stefan's response pleased her. He watched Irene's familiar profile and jawline in the stream, his fingers unconsciously brushing through her smooth hair in the air, laughing softly. Then he typed on his phone. [Super Black Gold VIP User Mosin: I'll be home in five hours. What delicious food has Grandma prepared for me?] Irene couldn't help but smile naturally. "You'll have to come back and see for yourself." [Super Black Gold VIP User Mosin: Alright.] The stream exploded. [Black Cat's Cat: What does this mean? Am I seeing things?] [Happy Family: Is he a brother or a husband? I'm so jealous!] [SleepyHorse: Must be a husband! What rich young lady would live in such a shabby place?] [Apple is the Best: I'm so jealous.] [Border Collie is Not a Dog: If you have such a wealthy man, why are you still streaming? If it were me, I'd spend mornings at the spa, afternoons at tea parties, and evenings eating seafood. Who needs to work?] Irene glanced at the comments. Her smile grew brighter, but seeing the speculations get out of hand, she clarified, "He's not my brother; he's a very important friend." [Tyrannosaurus097: Oh~ friend! No need to explain, we understand!] Seeing her clarification only made things messier, Irene just smiled and said no more. Meanwhile, Stefan's assistant, Walter, approached and whispered, "Boss, the plane is ready. You can board now." Stefan handed his tablet, still showing the stream, to Walter and said, "Let's hurry. Cancel all today's appointments in A City." On the streaming platform, Stefan's gifts triggered an emergency meeting. The head of operations was sweating. "Did the CEO give these gifts?" The head of content sighed, shaking his head. "Who dares to ask?" Everyone exchanged glances, none daring to inquire. But they all knew this new streamer had strong backing and was untouchable. Stefan boarded the plane, his phone buzzed. It was a message from Irene. She told him about the Norman family's eldest son, his wife, and sister, warning him to be careful of female friends around him. Stefan smiled. His aloofness and grace stood out even more, his long lashes casting shadows over his cold eyes. "All from the Norman family." Marta was still in school, where phones were confiscated. Given Marta's personality, no one easily gained her friendship. She never invited friends home. Thus, it must have been from Palmer's friends. Palmer was far from innocent. Stefan sent Irene ten more "Angel's Heart" gifts. [Super Black Gold VIP User Mosin: Will you pick me up from the airport?] Irene thought for a moment. "No, I'll be at home preparing dinner." Stefan's mood brightened, and he smiled, typing "Alright" in the stream.
