Chapter 249 Facing Rejection Again
Ethan cashed out all the money from the streaming platform and deposited it into the bank account his godmother gave him. After purchasing a new car for his mom, he realized he’d somehow raked in an additional half a million dollars.
Emma didn't stream often or for long enough. If they streamed more, they'd surely make even more money. But they weren't about to let money-making get in the way of other things; after all, if their mom found out, they were in for a spanking.
Sophia was too wrapped up in a competition to pay attention to what they were up to.
The first stream since they signed with Lancaster Group brought some exciting news. Sprout Live, a subsidiary of Lancaster Group, announced that on the coming Saturday, Emma would be doing a gaming stream with Kyi. The number one fan on the leaderboard would have the chance to join Emma and Kyi for a live chat online.
The fans went wild. Being restricted to yelling in the comment section during every stream, and now having the chance to chat directly with Emma and Kyi, was fantastic!
Everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of Saturday.
Emma had no idea she'd be streaming with Kyi, and she was literally on cloud nine as she counted down the days until the weekend.
When she woke up on Saturday morning, Sophia could tell the little tyke was in a great mood. She must have dreamt of scrumptious things again.
Sophia pinched Emma's chubby cheeks: "Mommy has to go to the office for overtime today. You and your brother stay and be good for your godmother, got it?”
Emma’s cheeks were rosy, resembling ripe peaches that were almost begging to be bitten.
"Got it, give me a kiss."
Sophia bent down and lightly kissed Emma's forehead before Ethan, freshly washed up, scooted over looking for his share of affection. Sophia laughed indulgently.
After smooching her two little ones, she hurried out the door, not forgetting to give Caroline instructions.
"Sam's coming over today. There's cake in the fridge I made; give it to him."
Yawning, Caroline responded, "Got it, drive safe."
At ten in the morning, David dropped Sam off. Sam was a smidge disappointed not to see his mom but perked up when his godmother brought out the cake her mom had made.
Nowadays, Caroline let Sam call her godmother too, completing the trio of children she cared for.
Caroline set Emma up for the stream while Ethan adjusted the equipment, and then the broadcast went live. Sam sat eating cake, tuning into the stream.
"Kyi."
Upon seeing Kyi join, Emma called out in a sweet, childlike voice.
[Emma really loves Kyi.]
The crisp voice of a young boy rang out, "Hello, Emma."
The two chatted with fans in the comment section for a while before they started gaming.
Everyone remembered that today's top donator on the fan leaderboard would get the chance to have a live chat with Emma and Kyi, and the wealthy fans began to shower them with gifts.
Among them, "Money daddy" and "Big John" were the most extravagant donors. Everyone was already very familiar with these two usernames, as they would always show up with a stream of gifts every time Emma was live.
[Who do you guys think will win?]
[I bet a dollar, Money daddy wins.]
[I bet two dollars, Big John wins.]
[I'm going three, Money daddy is loaded, he'll definitely win.]
[If Money daddy doesn't win, I'll eat poop on live stream.]
[I remember you, last time you said if Emma wasn't an old man, you'd eat poop on live stream.]
[I've changed teams now. I'm a fan.]
Sam had wanted to compete for the top spot, then he suddenly remembered, he was just a kid himself. If he got on a live chat with Emma, wouldn't his identity be revealed? He decided to play it cool and slowed down on sending gifts.
Soon, Money daddy climbed to the top of the fan leaderboard, taking the title of the top donator.
[That's tens, hundreds, thousands... adds up to thirty million.]
[My gosh, what kind of mogul is Money daddy? He donated thirty million in gifts in one night.]
[And he's still giving.]
Those who had wanted to compete for the top spot paused, acknowledging they could not outdo this big shot.
After one game ended, Emma, not quite satisfied, was eager to play another round.
Playing games with Kyi was just too awesome. Every move Kyi made was so skilled.
[I want to see Emma and Kyi have a gaming duel.]
[Me too.]
[A petition signed with the blood of ten thousand fans begging for Emma and Kyi to have a duel.]
Emma hummed twice in response, "I really don't want to. Kyi is a professional player; I would get crushed."
[Don't be afraid, Emma. Papa will protect you.]
[Girl, mama is here.]
Kyi chuckled, "We have five minutes left. This time's top on the fan leaderboard is Money daddy. Money daddy, get ready. We're about to connect."
A minute went by, and they successfully connected with Money daddy.
[Hello, Money daddy,] Kyi greeted.
There was silence from Money daddy, making Kyi think the line had dropped.
"Money daddy, are you there?"
Emma also asked, "You there?"
Money daddy finally spoke, "I'm here."
The deep, magnetic voice was absolutely pleasing - like a bass cannon, the comment section exploded.
[Such a good voice, my ears are getting pregnant.]
[I'm a sucker for voices, and I can't handle this one.]
[That voice sounds kind of familiar.]
Emma immediately recognized it, that ID was indeed bad guy daddy!
Kyi said, "You can say whatever you want to us, or ask anything."
Money daddy said, "Emma, sing a song."
The little one sang in such a cute, cherubic way, he really wanted to hear it.
Emma said, "I can't sing."
Money daddy said, "But you sang last time."
Emma said, "I've forgotten how to sing it."
Clearly, Emma didn't want to sing.
The comments rolled in: "I feel like Money daddy is being rejected."
[I used to throw a few thousand dollars in tips, and Emma would sweetly thank me. It seems like she never mentions Money daddy.]
[Is it possible that Money daddy is being rejected?]
Money daddy said, "Then recite a poem for us."
Emma replied, "Uncle, you're silly. I'm only five and a half. I can't even read, how can I recite a poem?"
[Definitely rejected.]
[LOL, Emma can do math well enough, how can she not know how to read?]
[My Emma is ridiculously smart.]
Money daddy said, "Then I'll quiz you with a math problem."
Emma pouted, "No, I don't want to!"
Gabriel frowned, why was the little one always dismissing him?
Money daddy said, "Say something nice to me, and I'll treat you to lots of snacks."
Emma thought hard and then said, "Mommy says that junk food will hurt my tummy if I eat too much of it. I don't want snacks."
Money daddy was at a loss...
Kyi, who'd been ignored throughout, cleared his throat.
"Sorry Money daddy, but it's time to wrap up this co-streaming."
Once the co-stream was cut, Money daddy donated a hundred more virtual planes.
When the live stream ended, Emma looked at the pile of virtual gifts backstage, playfully sticking out her tongue feeling a bit guilty, as at least a third of them were from bad guy daddy.
She's been so dismissive of bad guy daddy, who had given her so much money, wasn't that a bit ungrateful?
This time, Money daddy had catapulted himself to the top of the fan leaderboard, sparking yet another round of speculation among the netizens about the identity of this big spender.
Curious netizens analyzed, comparing all the wealthy tycoons they could think of nationwide.
Netizen, "Money daddy is Gabriel, the President of Lancaster Group, personally investing money to boost his own streamer. Emma's top ranking is indeed artificially inflated."
