[Chapter 61]
Before anyone could react, the timer ran out.
And the winner was Cathy!
Minnie abruptly stopped singing. Her vision was blurred as she checked her progress bar. It had far surpassed Cathy's only three seconds ago, so how could her lead have disappeared so quickly?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the system?" She moved closer to the camera and looked at it in disbelief. My hundred thousand dollars! she thought.
She had been lying when she had said she didn't care. She checked the screen again. Right at the end, someone had given money to Cathy, causing her to win.
Just three seconds earlier, Minnie had been winning and the hundred thousand dollars would have been hers. She had asked her fans to hold back for a while so that she could win a larger amount of money right at the end. And now she had lost!
"What are you trying to do, Adam?" she asked. "You think you're amazing just because you have a few dollars? You should have stepped in earlier."
Minnie continued to scold him, but her live stream had disappeared.
Cathy still hadn't recovered from the shock when her roommates came over. She pointed at the screen and mumbled, "I... I won. The hundred thousand dollars is mine!"
When her roommates saw the screen, they realized it was true. Minnie greeted the live broadcast camera, "Hey, Adam, why didn't you come to my live broadcast room? Why did you help Cathy instead?"
Minnie was extremely jealous of Cathy, who was getting all the attention, as well as a hundred thousand dollars.
If everyone watched Cathy's live broadcast, wouldn't she get all the money?
"Cathy, hurry up and thank Adam," Minnie reminded her. "He gave you a hundred thousand dollars."
"Adam, thank you," Cathy said. "I really don't know what to say, but I'd like to meet you. You must be a wonderful person, and I'd like nothing more than to see you. I... I really want to hug you... and kiss you. Of course, I know I'm not good enough for you..."
Cathy's mind was a mess, and she was babbling.
"I want to see you too. And kiss you," Minnie said, unwilling to be outdone. Cathy was such a schemer, but Minnie wasn't about to step aside.
A message popped up on the screen announcing: [Adam has left the live broadcast room.]
Alex looked at the phone in a daze. When he had seen Cathy's pitiful look, he hadn't been able to resist helping her.
He saw the gesture as a tribute to the years they had spent together.
He was just about to power off his cell phone and go to sleep when he received a message from the live stream account. It was from Cathy.
[Adam, thank you so much. I was so worried. If not for you, I would have been humiliated. I didn't do very well in the live broadcast.]
Alex knew that Cathy was only fawning over him because he was rich, so he lost interest and simply replied with, [Hmm].
Cathy was overjoyed to see that Adam had answered her. She stole a glance at Minnie, who was still broadcasting live, afraid that she would see what Cathy was doing.
She messaged Adam back. [Oh, I wanted to tell you that my dear friend Graham Stirling invited you to a banquet at the Golden Mansion Hotel the other day, but you didn't attend.] Cathy had managed to calm down, and now that she remembered what had happened the previous day, she wanted to use this chance to meet Adam and to punish Alex.
