Chapter 38
Emily Lowell wore an off-white lace dress today. Her wavy long hair cascaded over her shoulders. She sat by the floor-to-ceiling window of the recording studio. Sunlight streamed through the glass, illuminating her delicate profile.
Her live stream viewers had surpassed one million.
"Who says I don't have troubles?" She gave the camera a faint smile. Her fingers absentmindedly played with the lace trim of her dress.
The live comments exploded instantly.
"What troubles could a goddess possibly have?"
"Maybe she's troubled about which Hermès bag to carry today?"
Emily's eyes darkened slightly at these teasing remarks.
"Actually..." She bit her lower lip. "My mother hasn't been in good spirits lately."
Fans immediately grew concerned.
"Who dared upset Mrs. Lowell?"
"Tell us Emily! We'll stand up for you!"
Emily shook her head, her eyes glistening. "It's family matters... concerning my sister."
The live stream fell silent for several seconds.
"Sister? Aren't you the only daughter of the Lowell family?"
Emily sighed softly. "I have a long-lost sister who was only found last year. But she..."
Her hesitant tone piqued the fans' curiosity.
"Did she bully you?"
"I know all about rich family drama! She must be jealous of Emily!"
Emily quickly waved her hands. "No, it's not like that. My sister just..." Her voice caught mid-sentence.
The comments flooded with sympathetic messages.
"Don't cry Emily!"
"What did that sister do?"
Emily wiped the corner of her eye, forcing a smile. "It's nothing serious really. My sister just refuses to come home often. Mother waits forever just to see her..."
She lowered her head, fiddling with her dress hem. Her voice grew quieter. "Last week was Mother's birthday. My sister didn't even call..."
The live chat erupted.
"That's too much!"
"Raised outside the family - no manners at all!"
Emily hurried to explain. "No, my sister probably just..."
"You're too kind-hearted Emily!"
"Who needs such an ungrateful sister!"
Emily waved her hands anxiously. "Please don't say that. My sister actually..."
Before she could finish, a flood of new viewers entered the stream.
The comment tone shifted abruptly.
"Heard this stream is discussing the eldest Lowell daughter?"
"I know that sister - she's amazing!"
Emily's expression faltered briefly before she regained her composure. "Seems we have some friends who know my sister here."
She flashed the camera a sweet smile. "That's all for today. See you next time~"
The broadcast ended abruptly.
Fans exchanged bewildered looks.
What... just happened?
