We’d gone to the same school and often worked together—old friends.
“What are you doing here?Don’t tell me you’ve got a grudge with Lily too?”I half-laughed,exasperated.
Before I could joke with Lily about her“talent,”Sean grabbed my injured hand.
“My assistant said someone was causing trouble.You’re hurt badly—does it hurt?Let’s go to the hospital.”His tone was soft.
The room let out a collective“Ooh!”
Comments exploded:
“CEO romance in real life!”
“Told you suitors line up to court someone like Paris
!”
Embarrassed,I pushed him away.“Get lost.I’m not leaving a house full of strangers to go to a hospital.”
As Sean stepped aside,I caught Lily’s glare,her jealousy sharp enough to cut.
“Sis!”Another person barged in.
The comments reacted:
“This can’t be scripted.No budget could afford this cast.”
“A busload of strangers could show up,and I wouldn’t blink.”
“ ‘Mistress Streamer’,introduce him!”
“No need—she doesn’t have to.That’s top lawyer and prominent heir,Owen Harper!”
They didn’t know Owen was my junior in martial arts,though he switched careers due to lack of talent.
He rushed in.“Sis,someone said you’re being bullied!Who is it?I’ll take them down!”
I squinted.“Save your weak moves!”
“Then I’ll sue them into oblivion!”
“That’s more like it!”I patted his shoulder.
“I can get them banned online,”Sean chimed in.
“Sean,stop hovering around my sis!”Owen snapped.
“We’ve known each other forever—you are going to stop me?”Sean retorted.
The comments ate it up:
“Hot guys arguing is peak entertainment.”
“Their jealousy proves the claim about suitors for someone like Paris!”
Another person entered.I wasn’t even surprised—my house was a circus.
Lily instantly switched to a damsel-in-distress act,collapsing into the newcomer’s arms.
“Jake,you’re here!This woman brought a mob to bully me!”
It was Jake Evans,my brother,the“boyfriend”in this fiasco.
The comments buzzed:
“Here it is—the climax!”
“The boyfriend’s here!Is Mistress Streamer the mistress?Reveal time!”
Jake,seeing the crowd,was clueless.
I summed it up:“Your girlfriend thinks I’m your mistress,she brought a mob to stream an exposé,then got exposed as a mistress herself.”
“What?”Jake was lost.“Lily,that’s my sister!”
The room gasped.
Comments erupted:
“I knew she wasn’t the mistress!”
“She’s a real billionaire!”
“That line I’ve been holding back that line—Sis,you’re badass!”
“Streamers screwed up again!”
“Wasn’t there a$1.3 million watch smashed?This is gonna be fun!”
