Chapter 142 Completely Ruined
Ariel tried to calm things down. "Check out this new fund I bought. It hasn't budged at all. Didn't Aetheris Group say they were diving into pharmaceuticals? Why's there no action?"
"Have you met Mr. Bailey?" Angela perked up, not forgetting her task. "Did he spill any beans?"
Bethany chuckled. "You think we can just meet him whenever we feel like it?"
Angela shot back. "Our family's been working with Aetheris Group forever. Mark, who's tight with Mr. Bailey, has been buddies with Henry for years. It's not that hard to meet him!"
Bethany rolled her eyes, knowing Angela was just bluffing.
Angela, seeing Bethany's skepticism, wanted to argue more.
Suddenly, Ariel, scrolling through her phone, yelled, "The Lumina Vitae Foundation! Oh my God! Angela, check this out. Isn't this the foundation your mom found? It's at Chrysanthemum Alley. That's the one."
"That massage parlor has nothing to do with us." Angela knew Ariel was talking about the embarrassing livestream incident. "Summer's the one running it."
Bethany, hearing this, laughed even harder. She said with a smirk, "Of course, it has nothing to do with you. It's so popular; it doesn't seem like something you could pull off."
With that, she got up and followed the massage therapist into a private room.
Angela, still fuming, slammed her teacup down. "Look at her, always tease at me! Do you think I want Summer to livestream? That job's no better than begging!"
Ariel, feeling awkward, handed her the phone. "Why don't you check out this livestream?"
"What's the point to see? It's just some small-time..." Angela's words trailed off as she saw the video. "This is trending!"
Ariel, seeing Angela wasn't completely clueless, explained, "It's not just trending; there are also tips."
"Tips?" Angela pulled out her phone, eager to see for herself.
Ariel cut to the chase, "With these numbers, it's about fifty grand."
Angela was used to big money, but the Martinez Family was strapped for cash. What kind of livestream could pull in fifty grand in one go?
Ariel looked at the stunned Angela and raised an eyebrow. "Is your relationship with Summer that bad? So bad you didn't even know she's famous in Eldoria now?"
For years, Angela had always played the "virtuous wife and loving mother" role in public.
No matter how much she suffered, she had to grin and bear it. "She usually does her own thing. I don't really care."
Who would buy that?
Ariel didn't bother arguing anymore.
She figured it was time to find a new card-playing buddy.
Angela still didn't get that her carefully built social circle had fallen apart.
She watched the numbers on the phone screen climb, gripping it tighter and tighter, wishing that livestream was hers!
Fifty grand in a day, made in just an hour and a half.
No business could make money faster than this!
Angela suddenly remembered when Summer had asked to borrow money. She deeply regretted not lending it to her!
She thought, 'Just five grand; why didn't I lend it?'
The more Angela thought about it, the more her breathing quickened.
If she had lent Summer the money, would that livestream be hers now?
Angela looked at the phone screen again, her eyes filled with envy.
