In FX Club, Kenneth looked at her cheery face and shrank backward. “So, you decided to come to my place?”
“Kenneth, we’re buddies, aren’t we? You won’t leave me alone, right?” Elspeth blinked her eyes pitifully.
“The thing is, Grandpa will kill me if he finds out.”
Although Kenneth was unwilling to visit home usually, he still feared Michael.
“Don’t worry, I won’t sell you out.”
At the moment, this club was the safest place for them. As long as they escaped Michael’s search, they would be able to solve this matter when the storm subsided after some time.
When Birdy and the others who had played with her previously saw Elspeth, they were elated. “Elspeth, don’t leave now that you’re here and stay in our team. Trust me, you’ll go viral,” Birdy suggested with a grin.
Carrot nodded and took out his phone. “Miss Idol, I’ve been livestreaming recently. After you left, I gained a few thousand more followers. I think I’m close to a million followers!”
Elspeth chortled. “Livestreaming? What for?”
“Well, not only can you interact with your fans through livestreaming, but you can also… earn money!”
Susy gave him a playful slap on the arm. “Don’t listen to him. He doesn’t even earn that much.”
The group was just chatting when Elspeth received a call from Harper all of a sudden.
“Bad news, Elspeth! The company’s in trouble!”
Harper sounded panicked as if he was facing a huge crisis. “The Joneson Corporation is cracking down on our company, and it’s really causing a considerable impact. We’re now facing a shortage of funds.”
“Can’t we take out a loan?”
Harper hesitated before saying, “I did try to take out a loan, but they said that Old Mr. Joneson had issued an order not to lend any money to Azure Corporation.”
Not to lend any money to Azure Corporation… Elspeth’s brows furrowed. She realized that things had become trickier than she expected.
“Take care of things first and appease the staff. As for the money, I’ll come up with a solution.”
After hanging up, she looked at Callum and sighed. He planned for her to go under the radar for some time, but his idea was rejected.
“Why should I hide? I will show myself to everyone as I like.”
Although Callum was taken aback, he could understand. After all, this was Elspeth’s way of dealing with things.
“Then, what are you planning to do?”
Elspeth didn’t answer immediately but turned her gaze to Carrot instead, her lips curling into a smile.
“Start a livestream.”
Upon hearing the word livestream, Carrot instantly sprung up from his seat. “Elspeth, you’re gonna livestream?”
“Yeah. My company is in debt now, and we can’t take out a loan, so I can only try livestreaming.”
“That’s great! I’ll teach you!”
However, Elspeth shook her head. “No need for that. I have an account.”
Just as Carrot was looking at her in confusion, Elspeth logged into an account with a single word in its name—Mist. However, after he saw the number of followers, Carrot’s eyes nearly bulged out of his skull.
“Eight million?!”
