Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Publicly Declaring a Break with the Everett Family

After a moment of silence, the online commenters couldn’t help but start a discussion.

[Is this... the real Wyatt Everett? Sienna Everett’s biological brother?]

[Bullshit! What kind of brother is he?! Have you all forgotten? In today’s finale, Wyatt Everett bribed the judges to try and get Shannon first place. He doesn’t see Sienna as his sister at all!]

[Why have I heard that the Everetts don’t seem to like Sienna Everett very much?]

["Not very much"? They totally despise her! I’m starting to wonder if Sienna did something to wrong them!]

[??? To the person above, even if you’re blunt, you can’t just talk out of your ass, can you?]

[Fam, I just remembered! There’s an unwritten rule on streaming platforms: the person who gifts their way to the top of the rankings can ask the streamer to do one thing. So now...]

As the commenters were discussing, an exasperated Wyatt Everett sent a message:

[Sienna Everett, you apologize to me right now! And take me off your blacklist! Do you hear me!]

Seeing that message, the commenters were stunned.

[Apologize? What the hell? Wasn’t Wyatt Everett the one who bribed the judges? What the hell is he asking Sienna to apologize for?!]

[Didn’t they say the Everetts don’t like Sienna? How did Wyatt end up being the one who got blacklisted?]

[From the looks of it, it seems like Wyatt Everett is desperately begging for Sienna to give him the time of day.]

[But Wyatt is number one on the rankings now, so can Sienna refuse? There’s no reason she could, right?]

When Sienna Everett saw Wyatt Everett’s words, her gaze instantly turned cold.

’Apologize to Wyatt Everett?’

’Absolutely not.’

Sienna’s eyes were clear and cold as she contemplated her next move. Suddenly, a dazzling display of special effects lit up the screen:

ysgswd has gifted you Sky Lanterns *520

ysgswd has gifted you Hot Air Balloons *520

ysgswd has gifted you Private Jets *520

ysgswd has gifted you Luxury Yachts *520

...

The brilliant special effects flashed for quite some time before finally stopping.

The netizens watched, wide-eyed, as the top spot on the leaderboard instantly switched from Wyatt Everett to ysgswd!

The live chat went silent for a few seconds before completely exploding!

[HOLY SHIT!! It’s ysgswd! It’s that mysterious whale!!]

[520! The big shot gifted 520 of every single item!!]

[And ysgswd’s gifts are so numerous and expensive! Not only did they jump to number one, but they left the number two, Wyatt Everett, completely in the dust!]

[Spending a fortune to protect Sienna?]

[LMAOOOOO I’m dying! Now Wyatt can’t make Sienna take him off her blacklist, can he?]

Sienna Everett stared at ’ysgswd’ at the top of the rankings, blinking once, then twice. ’Who in the world is this?’

Wyatt Everett’s brow furrowed, having been suddenly kicked from the top spot.

’Who is this ysgswd that just popped out of nowhere?’

The scene was so dramatic that the live comments in the stream never stopped. Even more viewers flooded in, with the audience count approaching ten million.

The chat was constantly asking ysgswd: Hey, big shot! Now that you’ve dropped in and taken the top spot, is there anything you want to ask Sienna to do?

Under the flood of questions from countless netizens spamming the chat, the whale slowly typed out a line:

[Nothing. She can just do whatever she feels like.]

That one sentence made the chat go wild again.

[Wow, why do I feel like that’s so doting~~]

[Don’t leave, person above, I felt it too! It’s so incredibly doting!]

[So who is this mysterious big shot? Are they that into Sienna? This has to be stan-level obsession, right?]

Sienna watched the flood of comments on her screen, a hint of confusion appearing in her bright, dark eyes.

’I’m also really curious. Who on earth is this ysgswd?’

As for Wyatt Everett...

Sienna looked into the camera, the corners of her cherry-red lips curling up into a cold, mocking sneer.

"Wyatt Everett, I already cut ties with the Everett family a long time ago."

"You, don’t ever bother me again."

Her every word landed with resounding force.

The live chat exploded once more.

[Damn, Sienna just announced she’s cutting ties with the Everett family right here on the live stream in front of everyone! She’s not holding back at all!]

[I mean, a shameless brother like Wyatt who favors the fake heiress? Good riddance!]

[But isn’t it bad to cut ties with your family? They’re still your family, after all. Is there really anything that can’t be forgiven? How can she be so heartless as to abandon her family?]

[Forgive? You can’t preach forgiveness when you haven’t lived their pain!]

[To be so utterly disheartened that you’d cut ties with your family... what must she have gone through...]

At that moment, watching Sienna on the live stream, Wyatt Everett’s heart trembled violently.

’She actually announced that she’s cutting ties with the Everett family in public? Does this mean she’ll never come back to the Everett family again?’

「The Everett Family’s Living Room.」

The family’s patriarch, Morgan Everett, and matriarch, Sheila Whitaker, were both sitting on the sofa.

The eldest brother, Mason Everett, had returned from a business trip abroad.

The second brother, Miles Everett, and the fifth brother, Dustin Everett, had also dropped their work to rush back.

The fourth brother, Lucas Everett, was still abroad for important matters.

The Everetts were watching a replay of the live stream. On the screen, Sienna’s face was cold as she publicly announced that she had long since cut ties with the Everett family.

Morgan Everett slammed his hand on the table. "How dare she publicize something like this! Now the whole internet knows. That beast, isn’t she ashamed of disgracing our Everett family!"

Morgan Everett was old-fashioned and harsh; what he cared about most was the Everett family’s reputation.

Wyatt frowned. "Dad, that’s enough!"

Sheila Whitaker patted the back of Morgan’s hand, the picture of a gentle and virtuous wife. "Alright, Morgan, calm down first."

To the side, Shannon Everett, seeing the hint of defensiveness for Sienna in Wyatt’s words, quietly clenched her fists. ℴ

The second brother, Miles Everett, was a top-tier artifact Restorer. His personality was calm and steady, and he hadn’t offered an opinion on the matter.

The fifth brother, Dustin Everett, was a popular male singer in the entertainment industry. He had been on tour abroad recently and only just found time to come home today.

Dustin was currently sitting next to Shannon, a trace of arrogance and disgust in his eyes. "If she wants to cut ties, then let her. So what if she announced it publicly? As if the Everett family gives a damn about her."

Wyatt glanced at him, then after a few seconds of silence, suddenly spoke. "I want to go find Sienna and ask her again if she’s willing to come back to the Everett family."

Dustin was baffled. "Third brother, we’ve already done more than enough for that damn girl. What else is there to ask!"

Just then, Mason Everett spoke up, analyzing calmly, "Sienna isn’t completely useless. Eleanor Yates tried to take her as an apprentice multiple times and was rejected. Plus, Sienna’s online popularity is growing. If she’s willing to return to the Everett family, she could still be of use to us."

Mason was in charge of the Everett Group, and what he valued most was profit.

Wyatt was taken aback by his words. He hadn’t expected his eldest brother to be thinking along those lines.

The reason Wyatt wanted to find Sienna was because one sentence she had said to him kept echoing in his mind all day—

’Do you really think... the one who saved you back then was Shannon?’
