Hearing that Hayden wanted to post a photo of Amelia, Elsie's fans in the live stream couldn't take it anymore.

When Hayden verbally attacked Amelia before, the fans had already been fiercely discussing it in their group.

What kind of father would slander his own daughter in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers?

Now seeing Hayden wanting to post a photo of Amelia without her consent, they all stood up.

[Hayden, Elsie's mom covers her face when she's on the show, probably because she doesn't want her face to be seen. Does she know you're posting her photo?]

[Yeah, we're curious too, but we should respect Elsie's mom's privacy.]

Hayden immediately recognized these accounts as Elsie's fans and gave his assistant a look, signaling him to mute these people.

The company employee, who was also working as an assistant, was speechless. These people were clearly a group, and muting a few would probably bring out thousands more.

But he didn't say anything. After all, he was just an employee. As long as Hayden paid him, he didn't care if he got scolded by the fans.

As expected, as soon as these accounts were muted, many more with Elsie's name entered the live stream.

[What happened? Why were we muted?]

[We just asked if you had Elsie's mom's consent to post the photo, and you muted us?]

[Reported. By the way, remember to refund my money for the purchases.]

While Hayden went to get a graduation photo of Amelia, the public opinion in the live stream had already started to shift dramatically.

The employee mechanically muted people with a blank expression, but he couldn't keep up. There were just too many.

Seeing the increasing complaints in the live stream, Hayden shouted at the staff member, "Stop muting them!"

The staff member shrugged innocently.

Seeing the chaos in the live stream, Hayden's mind raced, and he suddenly had an idea.

"You're all being fooled by Amelia!"

"Poor me, thinking my relationship with my daughter had improved, but it was all just my wishful thinking..."

Hayden sat on the floor and started wailing.

This shocked everyone in the live stream, and the fans didn't dare to comment for a moment.

Only some spectators watching the drama got excited.

[Don't cry, host. Explain what's going on.]

Hayden kept an eye on the screen, and seeing the situation stabilize, he got up and pretended to wipe away nonexistent tears.

"You don't know, my daughter has always been very disobedient."

Pointing to a girl standing on the edge of the graduation photo he had just taken out, Hayden brought it closer to the camera. "Look at this photo, doesn't she look well-behaved and quiet?"

He had found this photo in the storage room with great effort yesterday. After matching the names under the photo, he identified Amelia.

The girl in the photo was wearing a plain high school uniform, with short hair and bangs, slightly lowering her head as if daydreaming. Her eyes were partially covered by her bangs, but her mouth seemed to have a subtle smile.

She looked like an ordinary, well-behaved, quiet student.

Seeing the approving comments, Hayden put on a dissatisfied face. "In reality, she's a bad kid!"

"Which student doesn't come home on time after school? Only she would disappear every day! She'd come back after everyone had finished dinner, go straight to her room without a word!"

"Once, I went to find her at dinner time and saw her following a boy closely!"

"Who knows if she was always with boys when she didn't come home."

"Some kids' behavior when they're young determines what kind of person they'll become!"

"I sent her to the countryside to cultivate her character, but she... she actually!"

Hayden's face was full of hesitation, making the viewers anxious.

[What happened? Speak up! You're killing me with suspense!]

[You just want gifts, right? I'll give you some, just keep talking!]

Seeing various gift effects lighting up the live stream, Hayden was satisfied and continued, "She actually got pregnant out of wedlock!"

"And she didn't even know who the father was..."

"She had just become an adult, and she was engaged. I was heartbroken by her lack of self-respect. To avoid rumors, I sent her abroad. But she resented me and didn't contact me for five years!"

"My heart is broken by her!"

No one paid attention to Hayden's subsequent complaints; everyone was shocked by the "pregnant out of wedlock" revelation.

[Although I knew Elsie came from a single-parent family, I was shocked by the news that she got pregnant just after becoming an adult.]

[The key is that her mom doesn't even know who the father is. Imagine how chaotic her private life must be.]

[Everyone, please discuss rationally. Don't believe one-sided stories or spread rumors!]

[I think this is probably true. Otherwise, why would Elsie say her dad doesn't recognize her? Country men don't know which women they've been with.]

Seeing the increasing traffic in the live stream, Hayden smiled smugly.

He didn't lie; he just omitted some irrelevant details.

Except for not mentioning that Amelia was sent to the countryside because she had a brain injury, everything he said was true.

Despite his smugness, Hayden didn't forget to embellish further.

He said pitifully, "I had no choice but to start this live stream!"

"My daughter resents me for sending her abroad and has people targeting me. My small company is barely surviving."

"Seeing my company on the brink of bankruptcy, I just wanted to start a live stream to save it, but her fans are scolding me like this."

"What father is as miserable as me? I'm so wronged!"

Hayden didn't dare to say that the people Amelia found to "target him" were from the Scott family in Silverlight City. Before he could latch onto the big shots in Silverlight City, the Scott family was a giant that could crush him with a finger.

However, Hayden didn't dare to say it, but someone gave him the courage.
