"Hello everyone, welcome to my channel."
"Am I Elsie's grandpa? Of course, I am, without a doubt!"
"Elsie was so adorable when she was little! She always loved to smile!"
In the "Chatting about Elsie's Childhood" live stream, Hayden watched with joy as the number of viewers increased. He quickly contacted the few remaining employees at the company to open an online store and list the company's unsold products.
"This is our own company, everyone, please support us with a click. All the money earned will be used to buy beautiful clothes for Elsie!"
Since Elsie was born, Hayden had barely seen her a few times, but that didn't stop him from pretending to be very loving.
Previously, he had wanted to send Elsie to Mr. Jones in Emerald City. To let Mr. Jones see her photos first, he had secretly downloaded a few photos of Elsie from Amelia's social media before she unsubscribe him.
These close-up candid photos quickly became evidence to convince the live stream viewers.
[These photos look like Elsie when she was about three years old, so cute!]
[The photos are so lovely! Looks like we found the real grandpa!]
[Grandpa is working so hard, seriously earning money to support Elsie, let's buy something to support him!]
[I don't need the products, so I'll just send a gift to grandpa~]
Seeing someone mention Dax in the comments, Hayden was delighted.
He had never had contact with the top forces in Silverlight City before and thought the Scott family was already impressive. Later, he learned that the Scott family, despite its fame, had no real power in Silverlight City. Instead, the Allen family, which kept a low profile, was actually very influential.
So he began to praise Dax enthusiastically. "How can I compare to Mr. Allen? Although we are about the same age, he is much more impressive than I am."
"I just run a small company, but Mr. Allen is the best actor, worth hundreds of times more than me. It's Elsie's good fortune to be noticed by him!"
"Of course, as Elsie's grandpa, I feel a real connection with Mr. Allen. If he doesn't mind, I'd love for our families to become real relatives."
Hayden was quite pleased with himself for saying this. After all, if he could latch onto Dax, the Scott family would have to step aside, and the company's crisis would be nothing!
Some naive viewers were still laughing.
[Yes! That way, Elsie will have two families.]
[One provides money, the other companionship, perfect~]
[Dax would definitely be happy! After all, the show only lasts a month, but recognizing him as family means more time with Elsie.]
However, some sharp-eyed fans felt uncomfortable.
[What do you mean "it's Elsie's good fortune to be noticed by Mr. Allen"? Elsie is so cute, well-behaved, and smart. Isn't it natural for people to like her?]
Hayden saw this comment in the rapidly scrolling feed and, seeing that no one else noticed, discreetly deleted it.
He couldn't let these viewers start a negative trend that would affect his image as a loving grandpa.
After the live stream, Hayden's breathing was noticeably heavier as he tallied the earnings.
In just three hours of streaming, he had made tens of thousands of dollars from gifts and unsold company products!
He had seen this much money before, as the Johnson family had been somewhat wealthy.
But that money was hard-earned; making money through live streaming was much faster!
Not to mention that the Johnson family had been suffering losses due to the Scott family's suppression recently.
After the stream, he excitedly called Stella. "My dear daughter, you're so smart! Now we don't have to worry about money anymore!"
Stella, lying in her hospital bed, watched the now-dark live stream with a sinister smile: "I have an even better idea."
"You don't know Elsie well anyway, and viewers have always been curious about Amelia. Why don't you talk about Amelia next time?"
"Preferably something scandalous! It's called creating a contrast!"
Stella was eagerly anticipating it and thought, 'Amelia, you always hide everything, don't you? Well, I'll reveal your true colors! And I'll have your own father do it!'
'Being pushed into the abyss by your own father must be a terrible feeling. As his daughter, you should feel this pain even more intensely...'
Hayden was very tempted by Stella's plan. He didn't think there was anything wrong with airing his daughter's dirty laundry in public. It was just a joke for the show's effect. She had cost him so much money; this was just payback.
Hayden's live streaming quickly reached the small house of "The Harmony Clan Show."
Sawyer had recently gotten the hang of playing the little sister role, talking a bit more, being sweeter, and smiling more. Occasionally, when faced with Dax's suspicious gaze, he could maintain an innocent smile without hesitation.
However, their interactions were noticeably less sweet than before, making fans sad: [It feels like Elsie has become less talkative, and the two of them aren't as close as they used to be. What's going on?]
Some viewers thought it was even better because, although Dax and Elsie weren't as close as before, Dax was now teaching Elsie many skills!
For example, Dax was currently teaching Sawyer calligraphy in the study.
Viewers who had just come from Hayden's live stream watched the harmonious pair and teased: [Dax gets to enjoy the cute and well-behaved Elsie on the show, but after the show, she'll still be Hayden's little darling!]
Dax had Sawyer practice a lot of calligraphy, and the more he watched, the more he felt the child was smart and clever. He had to admit that Flynn's purpose in bringing him to this show was achieved.
Although he still had no desire to start a family, he thought having a child like Elsie was quite nice.
Whether lively or well-behaved, she was very endearing.
After practicing calligraphy with Sawyer, Dax washed his hands and glanced at the comment screen set up by the show in each small courtyard.
"Real grandpa?"
Wasn't that Layla's husband?
Dax recalled the bright and proud girl from his memories and the long-buried youthful feelings, suddenly becoming interested in this "real grandpa."
The man who made Layla, who had rejected countless suitors, choose to marry must be very exceptional.
With a bit of curiosity, Dax pulled up clips from Hayden's live stream.
