Chapter 114



.

Justin stared at the screen coolly.

Had he, a real tycoon, become a tool in their eyes? Besides, were they even making claims about a management company?

Ahh.

What a big joke.

They were just a bunch of naive kids on the Internet. They sure jumped to a lot of conclusions when all they had was insignificant evidence, and easily believed everything anyone else said. The comments section was now total chaos.

He grabbed his cell phone. He was about to say something and defend Sweetcherry when she said, “Grandfather Sponsor is not a tool. Don’t talk nonsense. Otherwise, I’m going to get mad.”

Justin, “?”

She had only mentioned the Grandfather Sponsor, but not the Dad Sponsor….

Justin had always considered himself a tolerant person since he was a child. His upbringing had never allowed him to lose his temper in front of people outside of himself. What’s more, apart from Pete, no one had ever been able to really piss him off in all these years.

But at this moment he felt a little hurt.

That little streamer, she was too much!

To think that he was always thinking about her and even occasionally popped in to watch her live streams. It was also the first time he had ever given such a donation to someone in his life….

He was about to leave the live stream when he saw someone ask in the comments:

‘So, Dad Sponsor is a tool?’

Sweetcherry was silent for a while. Then, he replied with chagrin, ‘No, it’s not. Dad Sponsor is even less likely to be a tool.”

Seeing that she was finally talking about Daddy Sponsor after so long, all the motherly fans began to express their concern for her.

‘Sweetie, did you have an argument with Daddy Sponsor, what’s wrong?’

‘Sweetie, did someone make you mad?’

The comments were also interspersed with attacks from haters.

‘Ha, how could he not? He hasn’t shown you a single penny of support or given you any donations today. Doesn’t that prove that he’s automatically given up on today’s showdown?’

Sweetcherry ignored the haters and unhappily told the people who actually cared about her, ‘Because I hate daddy!’

The motherly fans: ‘Do you hate Daddy Sponsor? Or your real daddy?’

Sweetcherry replied, “They’re all the same!”

The fans, “???”

Justin, “???”

So, the little girl was taking her anger out on him because her real dad had upset her?

Suddenly, her heart softened a little.

Justin coughed and wrote, ‘What did your dad do?’

As her other fans were also asking the same question, Sweetcherry replied: ‘Dad is horrible. He ignored me~ I’ll never talk to stinky dad ever again!’

The comments were filled with fans scolding her father.

‘Your dad is horrible. It’s bad enough that he doesn’t love you and your mom, but now he even ignores you?’

‘Sue him. He’s obligated to raise you. What gives him the right to ignore our cute, innocent Sweetie?’-‘

‘It’s too much! What garbage!’

…

Justin, “…”

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Cherry and felt a little guilty.

But right after, he found the thought ridiculous. What did he feel guilty about? He wasn’t Cherry’s father anyway….

However, as a man, how could he not take care of his own daughter?

Justin looked down and wrote, ‘Your father is a scumbag!’

The big, bold words appeared in the comments and even stayed there for several seconds….

Cherry felt much better.

Dad scolding himself was also a way of punishing him, wasn’t it?

He was still thinking about it when another group of haters entered his stream.

‘This is so disgusting. I’ve finally seen what a bully she is. Why didn’t you give up yesterday when you took on our favorite streamer? Aren’t you giving up today because Ika is a rich second generation heir, so it’s not easy for you to bully him?’

‘She’s just an image that a management company is selling, why is everyone so worried about her?’

‘Fans number 1 and number 2 are too fake. They must both be the accounts of the management company’.

‘I have serious doubts about whether the one playing is really a young girl? Everyone only saw her holding a cell phone when she revealed her face the other time. No one really saw her playing, did they?’

‘She must be hiding something for her to refuse to turn on the camera all the time.’

‘Don’t you think #1 fan is really ridiculous, how can he not keep a close eye on the live camera activities during such a critical moment? It’s already been half an hour since the live broadcast started, and he’s still not here…. He’s probably not coming today, is he?’

Cherry didn’t mind being scolded, but who were they scolding was the Grandfather Sponsor? She wasn’t going to take it easy.

She was about to unleash her mouth and attack all the haters when someone suddenly wrote: ‘Quick, sweetie, check out Fantasia’s live feed. She’s calling you an uneducated little peasant.’

Cherry, “?”

The five-year-old was totally confused by everything that was going on.

As for the comments, they were full of things like:

‘Cherry is a fake princess! Fantasia is the real princess!’

‘Fantasia is online and personally demonstrating someone’s bad intentions now!’

‘There’s a very simple way to prove it: either you turn on the camera and show us where you live or let your #1 and #2 fans come forward and compete with Ika. Here, I’ll let you in on a secret: Ika has prepared $800,000 for this!’

‘Exactly. You say that Grandfather Sponsor isn’t here because he has something to do, but your Dad Sponsor is obviously on the line. Why don’t you get Dad Sponsor to give you a donation, then?’

As the haters’ comments became increasingly mean-spirited, fans with motherly sense panicked. Donations poured into Cherry’s stream one by one.

Unfortunately, they were still too weak. Just as they narrowed the gap by $15,000, Ika received another $150,000 donation. The gap was getting bigger and bigger.

Everyone felt quite helpless.

Someone wrote, ‘Dad Sponsor, can’t you help Sweetie?’

The corners of Justin’s lips curved upward and he replied, ‘I’ll help you if you ask me to.’

The moment he sent the comment, Sweetie said, ‘No, I won’t.’

She would never give in to stinky daddy!

Justin, “???”

Whose stubborn brat was that!

So be it if she refused to give in. In that case, he couldn’t be bothered to give her a donation either. It wasn’t that he was crazy or a masochist; he just wasn’t going to stoop!

In the comments, the more maternal fans tried to appease him: ‘Daddy Sponsor don’t hold it against a little girl.’

Justin scoffed and wrote: ‘It’s not like I’m her dad anyway.

So why would he care for her?

Justin left the live broadcast in a fit of rage.

When he turned around, he saw Lawrence glaring at him. He asked, ‘Are you in a good mood now, boss?’

Justin frowned and replied, “Come out and say it if you have something to say.”

Lawrence let out a quiet sigh and said, “We found out that Pete is live streaming his games.”

Pete was live streaming?

Justin scoffed, “Are you still sleeping?”

Pete was with him every day. He even knew like the back of his hand what time he woke up and what time he ate. How could he possibly be live streaming?

Lawrence was quick to explain, “That’s right. His alias is sweetcherry and he live streams himself playing for two hours every day…”

Justin was immediately flabbergasted. “What did you say?”

Lawrence pulled out his cell phone and showed him the trending topics on sweetcherry. Seeing his shocked and bewildered face, Lawrence said, “Don’t be angry, Mr. Hunt. Kids are all rebellious by nature…”

But before he could finish, Justin got up abruptly and went straight to Pete’s study.

Lawrence followed close behind. “Boss, don’t get mad…”

As soon as he said that, he saw that Pete was studying. Meanwhile, Justin re-entered Sweetcherry’s live feed.

Lawrence was stunned – wasn’t it sweetcherry, Pete, who was it?

Then, he saw his boss suddenly use his cell phone to hack into the stream app. Right after that, sweetcherry’s camera suddenly turned on in the stream!
