Lorraine’s frown deepened. “You can’t let that kind of thing get out. Everything we have, we owe to your father, and you don’t want to get on his bad side. And your dad’s got a point. Telling people your sister’s been in jail isn’t exactly something you’d want to advertise.”
“Fine, Mom, I won’t act impulsively,” Sloane sighed, checking her flawless reflection. Her makeup artist had worked wonders. She gave her assistant a quick nod, signaling it was time.
“I’m starting the live stream now. You might want to get ready as well, Mom.”
With everything set, Sloane launched her live stream, her eyes gleaming with calculated malice.
“Today marks the end for you, Khloe,” Sloane murmured under her breath.
Sloane’s live stream, which had been announced in advance, focused on Eric’s father’s birthday banquet at the prestigious Watson family estate.
The Watsons, with their connection to the legendary and elusive Henrik-an underworld kingpin-had become a formidable power in both the business world and online circles.
However, Henrik rarely appeared in public; his face shrouded in mystery. This only fueled the public’s fascination with him and the entire Watson family.
Sloane’s appearance at the banquet, under the Watson family’s name, generated considerable buzz.
The moment the live stream started, two hundred thousand viewers joined, and the number kept rising. Seeing the surge in viewers, Sloane gave a practiced, effortless smile to the camera, radiating grace and poise.
“Hello, everyone! I’m Sloane Evans, coming to you live from the Watson family’s summer villa in Zhecrora.”
The comment section exploded with compliments.
“Sloane, you’re absolutely stunning today! Your elegance is unmatched!”
“Sloane’s a true princess-beautiful, talented, and a natural-born socialite!”
“It looks like the rumors about Sloane and Eric are true! I’m so jealous-dating the heir to such a powerful family must mean a life of endless luxury!”
“How is she so lucky? I wish I could have a partner like that!”
The flood of envious remarks fed Sloane’s ego, and her smile grew even more confident. She engaged with her audience while heading towards Eric’s lounge.
“Curious about what the Watson family is like? Let me show you the lounge.”
Stepping into the room, she approached Eric. “Eric, I’m here. What’s keeping you so busy?”
Eric, absorbed in reviewing the banquet details, looked up with a hint of impatience.
However, when he noticed the camera, he masked his irritation, replacing it with a polished, charming smile.
“Nothing much, Sloane. What brings you here?”
“I’m live streaming today to show everyone your home. Why don’t you interact with the audience a bit?” Sloane suggested, leaning in casually to emphasize their closeness.
Eric was slightly irritated by Sloane’s decision to live stream during the birthday banquet. He felt that the Watson family, with their longstanding dignity, was above engaging with the audience in such a way.
However, Sloane had already secured approval from his mother, who supported the live stream.
Remembering his parents’ concerns about their family’s waning influence and the need to modernize, Eric pushed down his dissatisfaction and decided to engage with the viewers.
When he assumed the role of a noble gentleman, he did so flawlessly.
Despite his inherent arrogance, Eric’s knowledge and refined demeanor were undeniable-genuine, not put on. As he spoke, his humor and charm quickly captivated the audience, who were falling under his spell.
“So handsome, so charming, and from such a prestigious family! I’m completely smitten!”
“Is this Sloane’s boyfriend? He’s amazing! It’s no surprise she picked him!”
“Sloane is really lucky.”
These sentiments echoed through countless viewers.
The live stream wasn’t only attracting ordinary viewers-it was also drawing attention from many in the entertainment industry.
They couldn’t help but feel a blend of jealousy and admiration as they watched Sloane enjoy the spotlight. By now, the viewership had skyrocketed to eight hundred thousand.
Sensing the numbers were peaking and the banquet was about to start, Sloane signaled her assistant.
Understanding the cue, the assistant quickly picked a sharp question from the comments.
“Mr. Watson, what’s your opinion on Sloane losing a role to an amateur actress named Khloe Evans?”
At the mention of Khloe’s name, Eric’s calm demeanor shattered.
His expression darkened, and a flash of intense disgust crossed his face.
“Khloe Evans?” he muttered coldly.
The comment section fell silent, sensing the change in Eric’s mood.
With a chilling, emotionless stare, Eric replied with malice,
“She’s nothing but utterly shameless trash!”
