When Berloff Reed saw the news, he felt a rush of satisfaction.
Deandre, the president of Acat Group, had really gone all out to help him get his revenge!
The wrath of the richest man in the country was not something a mere actress could withstand.
In the coming years, Sandra and her manager Brinley would likely be crying their eyes out in prison, regretting the day they offended Berloff at the airport.
As a top-tier actress, Sandra's recent trending news and her rapid downfall had sparked countless discussions among millions of netizens nationwide.
Some believed Sandra got what she deserved, while others swore she was framed by rivals, leading to her disgrace.
A few who were closer to the truth said Sandra had offended Deandre, the richest man in the country, and was made an example of.
Amidst all the rumors and speculations, the millions of onlookers had no idea that Sandra and her manager's downfall was entirely due to their offense against Berloff.
However, while the public remained in the dark, many high-ranking executives within Acat Group who were involved in the matter were well aware of Berloff's identity.
This young man in his twenties had become a major shareholder in Acat Group, a tech giant worth billions of dollars, and had a close relationship with Deandre.
With such an impressive background and limitless potential, it was clear that they needed to curry favor with him.
Soon, Berloff received a call from an unknown number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Berloff?"
Berloff was puzzled. "Who is this?""Mr. Reed, I'm the general manager of SnapStream, a subsidiary of Acat Group."
Berloff Reed suddenly understood. "SnapStream? Oh, you mean the short video platform with over a billion users worldwide?"
"Yes, exactly!" The other person sounded both enthusiastic and respectful. "Mr. Reed, the reason I'm calling is to inform you that your account on our SnapStream platform has been credited with one billion platform coins."
"In the future, as a major shareholder of our group, we hope you'll spend more time on our short video platform and give us any feedback or criticism."
Berloff was stunned. "Wow! One billion platform coins? That's worth a whole billion Orchid Empire coins!"
"Being a major shareholder comes with its perks?"
The SnapStream manager chuckled. "Of course! Technically, Mr. Reed, you're one of the big bosses of SnapStream, so a few platform coins are nothing."
"Mr. Reed, you can freely reward any streamer on our platform. If you run out, just let me know, and we'll top it up for free."Berloff couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. "So, does this make me the top dog on SnapStream?"
"Aren't you worried that all those beautiful streamers will be lured away by my massive rewards?"
The SnapStream manager laughed. "Mr. Reed, if you pay attention to our streamers, it's their good fortune."
"Given your current status, you're definitely top-tier. Those girls would be thrilled to catch your eye."
He continued to flatter Berloff, making him feel incredibly pleased and elated.After hanging up the phone, Berloff quickly opened the SnapStream app on his phone.
Berloff Reed glanced at his account balance and saw that it had indeed increased by a billion SnapStream coins.
"Wow! With so much money, which female streamer should I tip?"
"I've been watching short videos for years, but I've never experienced being the top supporter. I wonder how it feels!"
Berloff happily scrolled through the short video live streaming interface, looking for a favorite female streamer to send gifts to.
To his surprise, the first stream that popped up featured some familiar faces.
"No way! Aren't these the twins I met at the yacht club before?"
On his phone screen, he saw Jasmine and Trista. Today, they weren't outdoors but were streaming from indoors, competing in a live PK against other female streamers.
It turned out that the twin sisters were mid-tier streamers on the SnapStream platform, with just over a million followers.
The twins didn't like relying on pandering to wealthy supporters for money. Instead, they mainly earned through showcasing luxury homes and cars of the rich in their outdoor streams, using live commerce and product windows to make sales.
Unfortunately, the products they promoted were all luxury items with high prices. Without pandering to rich supporters, their million-plus followers didn't buy much, and they couldn't earn significant money for their guild.
This time, the guild had issued a harsh ultimatum: if Jasmine and Trista couldn't win the PK against another female streamer and secure enough tips, the guild would terminate their contract and blacklist them, never to cooperate again.
Feeling helpless, the usually cheerful and optimistic sisters appeared pitiful in their live stream.
"Dear supporters, today's PK is crucial. Please, we need your help. Send us gifts!"
"Yeah, if we lose today, the guild will take back our account, and we won't be able to see everyone anymore," Jasmine and Trista said, their faces filled with worry as they bowed repeatedly to the camera, looking quite humble.
Seeing this, the tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream chat couldn't help but sigh.
"Tsk tsk, it would be such a shame if these two streamers were forced to quit!""I only make $300 a month; I can barely get by. I wish I could help, but I can't."
"I love watching the rich live their lavish lives while I munch on my bread. Where would I get the money to tip?"
"The other streamer has a big chest, a round butt, and a sweet voice. Jasmine and Trista don't stand a chance. Don't waste your money, folks!"
"Heh, these twins think they're too good to suck up to the top tippers. Now they want to beg for help? Fat chance!"
Soon, some of the top tippers who could afford big donations started mocking them."Oh, you two used to say you didn't need tips from us. Feeling regret now?"
"Heh, I spent money tipping you, and you wouldn't even add me on WhatsApp or meet up. What a waste!"
"Exactly, if you're here to shake your butts for money, at least show some respect. Don't act all high and mighty!"
...
Seeing these comments, Berloff Reed raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Jasmine and Trista, who seemed so cheerful and outgoing, would maintain their integrity in such a toxic environment. It was truly rare.Such a positive and uplifting streamer deserves all the support she can get!
Berloff Reed opened the gift interface and sent a virtual motorcycle worth 10,000 platform coins to both Jasmine and Trista's live streams.
When Jasmine saw it, her eyes lit up immediately. "Thank you, MapleLeafBro, for the awesome motorcycle!"
However, not everyone in the chat was pleased.
A user named "RichDude" angrily typed, "Don't be fooled, everyone! This MapleLeafBro is a nobody account. He's never sent gifts before!""This guy is definitely just a fake account the streamer is using to hype things up!"
