Chapter 95 The Boss's Daughter
Gabriel suddenly remembered that he hadn't watched any live streams for a while, so he logged into his account to take a look. He realized that Milk Sugar had been live for half an hour tonight, and he had missed it.
Gabriel felt a hint of disappointment for some reason.
Since this viewing session had reached over ten million views, Emma promised to prove her age next time by adding five years. However, after Emma accidentally revealed the existence of her brother during this live stream, it triggered a series of criticism online.
It seems that most people believe that there is a team behind Milk Sugar deliberately creating the image of a five-year-old gaming prodigy girl for marketing purposes.
Many self-promoting accounts were leading the way towards conspiracy theories, and some even went as far as accusing them of child trafficking.
After Ethan reported those haters' accounts, he found that public opinion online had escalated to an irreparable level, leaving him feeling a bit bewildered.
There were just too many reports to handle.
"Ethan, everyone is criticizing us," Emma said, her eyes turning red. She didn't know where she went wrong. She only wanted to share her gaming experiences out of pure interest, so how did it come to this?
The entire internet now seemed to be condemning "Milk Sugar's Excessive Sweetness" and demanding they be banned.
They seemed to have stepped on a landmine.
Ethan threw his iPad aside and hugged his sister.
"Don't worry, I'll figure something out."
If things really couldn't be resolved, they might have to quit streaming.
They regretted that they were too young and had done things that shocked the world, arousing even more suspicions and malice from adults.
But this was Emma's beloved career, and Ethan didn't want to disappoint her.
Ethan was also torn.
The top searches were filled with criticisms. Sophia, who accidentally saw the news that popped up on her phone, was outraged. Recently, it was exposed that a five-year-old child anchor was manipulated by a production team... Sophia curiously clicked and read the tweets, instantly becoming infuriated.
What kind of immoral team would use a child for popularity!
Shameless!
Sophia clicked on some of this young anchor's archived live videos and listened to the sweet and adorable voice. She felt her heart melting and even felt a sense of familiarity.
However, her own little darling sounded even cuter and sweeter than this!
But judging from the joy in the voice of the other person, it seemed that this little anchor enjoyed livestreaming.
Perhaps it was the child's own preference, supported by adults.
Online gossip can be both true and false, and these people were pointing fingers and cursing at a child, proving that their character was far from admirable!
After finishing her work, Sophia returned to her bedroom and saw the two children huddled together, whispering to each other.
"Ethan and Emma, it's bedtime."
Emma had already been comforted by her brother, and she sweetly responded, "We know."
The two children shrank into their blanket, revealing a fuzzy little head and blinking shiny eyes.
"Goodnight, Mommy."
"Goodnight."
Sophia kissed each of them goodnight as usual and then went to take a shower.
After she left, the two little ones continued whispering, discussing their plan.
In the end, Emma posted a Weibo post: "Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, Milk Sugar will be live again to answer everyone's questions. Uncles, aunties, brothers, and sisters, don't worry."
Gabriel sent Alex a screenshot of the hot search on the internet.
Alex's heart sank as he looked at it. "Boss, I was wrong. I didn't think this was very important, so I didn't report it to you during the day."
Gabriel's face turned dark. "I'll give you half an hour to find out."
Alex responded, "Yes!"
Alex didn't expect the boss to place such importance on a game streamer who refused to sign with the company. If he had known, he would have reported it earlier and taken measures sooner to avoid the situation escalating to this extent.
After about ten minutes, Alex found out the truth.
"Boss, 'River' hired a large number of internet trolls and marketing accounts to defame Milk Sugar. Three popular streamers also openly and subtly attacked her during their own live broadcasts, causing their fans to flock to Milk Sugar's livestream and engage in online abuse."
Milk Sugar's popularity had invited jealousy from others.
Indeed, being "five years old" was an enticing gimmick, and with Milk Sugar's adorable voice, it was not surprising that she quickly emerged as a rising star in the streaming industry.
"River?" Gabriel didn't know who that person was.
"During the last livestream competition, River came in third place and was signed by Gink Entertainment. His popularity has been consistently overshadowed by Milk Sugar. It seems that Gink Entertainment wants to tarnish Milk Sugar's image and promote River instead."
"Then let him be forever overshadowed," Gabriel's voice was domineering and cold. When Gabriel had set his sights on someone, there was no reason to let others bully them.
Alex was extremely surprised. Was the boss protecting Milk Sugar?
Although they couldn't sign Milk Sugar, it was clear that the boss hadn't given up.
This was in line with the boss's style. Whenever the boss set his sights on a talented individual, he never easily gave up.
"I will handle it with our public relations team now." Alex hung up the phone and quickly contacted the PR team.
Over the course of the night, the marketing accounts targeting Milk Sugar began deleting their posts and issuing apologies, stating that they had spoken without understanding the situation. They expressed their willingness to accept punishment and clarify the facts.
Another wave of marketing accounts started to speculate and analyze Milk Sugar's identity.
【Milk Sugar is the daughter of a wealthy family and doesn't lack money. She livestreams only out of her hobbies】
【Milk Sugar is the little princess of her family, and her parents love and support her hobbies. Everyone, please stop spreading rumors. There's no such thing as a team behind her】
Even the largest marketing accounts came out in support of Milk Sugar.
【From what I've heard, Milk Sugar comes from a well-to-do family and doesn't lack money. Her brother is a novice gamer, and there's no truth to the rumors about him playing games for her. Her livestream times are also irregular and short. Who would believe she does it just for money? If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask Milk Sugar directly in tonight's livestream.】
"Just like that, please refrain from blindly scolding a five-year-old child."
A fan of a certain game celebrity stated, "To be honest, her gaming skills are truly impressive, please carry me!"
With so many influential figures stepping up for justice, public opinion quickly shifted. The hot searches targeting Milk Sugar were all taken down, leaving only anticipation for tonight's demonstration of Milk Sugar's skills and praise for her gaming abilities.
Ethan secretly went online to take a look and his eyes widened in shock.
How did the wind suddenly change direction?
Emma was also astonished.
"Ethan, you're amazing." She thought Ethan was responsible.
But Ethan shook his head, "It wasn't me."
Such a big move clearly indicated that someone was helping Emma.
"Then who could it be?" Emma asked.
"I don't know either." Ethan furrowed his dainty brows, unable to comprehend who would assist Emma.
"Could it be Sam?" Emma guessed.
Ethan pondered, stroking his chin.
Today, there was sudden news about a higher-up at Craft Entertainment being involved in inappropriate relationships with a popular female anchor. The stock plummeted until it hit the limit, and the boss was furious.
Who could have known that Milk Sugar had such a powerful background!
Could she truly be the spoilt daughter of some influential figure?
