Chapter 52 Amelia is Praised Across the Internet, Ryan Appears
"So, you really saved Mr. Church's kid yesterday?"
The situation had taken a wild turn, and it looked like today's live stream was going to be a hit.
Seeing this, Aria, always quick on her feet, grabbed her microphone and rushed over to Amelia, with the cameraman hot on her heels.
The high-definition camera zoomed right in on Amelia's face, her radiant features instantly exposed to all the viewers on the live stream.
How to describe it?
The viewers felt like their hearts had been struck.
If Rachel's sudden reveal had shocked them, Amelia's appearance was like a breath of fresh air.
So beautiful.
This was the kind of beauty that seemed heaven-sent. Amelia's features were finely sculpted, and even without makeup, her face was strikingly picturesque, with an air of elegance that was almost ethereal.
If it wasn't mentioned that she was just a high school student, viewers might have thought she was some kind of celebrity.
Some students from Prestige High School claimed that Amelia grew up in the countryside and was the illegitimate daughter of the Martinez family, but many found it hard to believe.
An illegitimate daughter from the countryside looking more refined than Rachel, who had been pampered by the Martinez family all her life?
Amelia looked more like nobility.
"I was just buying cotton candy nearby. Saving someone was just a natural reaction," Amelia said when Aria handed her the microphone.
Noticing the camera pointed at her, Amelia frowned slightly and asked, "Wait, are you live streaming this?"
"Yeah," Aria replied.
"Could you turn it off? I don't like being filmed out of the blue."
Amelia's tone was polite yet distant, "I don't know what happened before or why you came to the school. Saving someone was just my instinct; I don't need any rewards or praise. As long as Rex is okay, that's all that matters."
Hearing Amelia mention his name, Rex, who was clinging to Amelia's side, tugged at her clothes again.
Amelia looked down to see Rex's big, watery eyes, as if he had a lot to say but couldn't express it, looking anxious.
Amelia's expression softened immediately. She raised her hand to gently stroke Rex's head, "Don't worry, I know what you want to say. Be good."
So gentle!
The viewers were thrilled by Amelia's gentle words, but the next second, the live stream abruptly cut off.
The screen went black.
Many viewers, holding their phones, couldn't help but exclaim.
They hadn't seen enough! How could the live stream just end like that?
Did anyone record the previous footage? Someone must have recorded it!
Quickly, share it so everyone can see Amelia's face again!
Though disappointed by the interruption, viewers couldn't help but be impressed.
What does it mean to be low-key? This is low-key.
Amelia was clearly stunning, and she could easily gain fame just by talking about how she saved someone. She might even become an internet sensation.
Yet Amelia immediately asked Aria to turn off the live stream and said she didn't need any rewards or praise, just like her attitude yesterday afternoon towards Lila.
Even knowing Rex's identity, Amelia's attitude remained unchanged.
To Amelia, it didn’t matter if Rex was an ordinary kid or Elton’s son; she just wanted Rex to be safe.
Compared to Rachel’s pretentious speech in front of the camera, Amelia’s sincerity was on a whole different level.
After the live stream ended, the issue didn’t die down; it only gained more traction online.
Many people were furiously criticizing Rachel.
Rachel hadn’t saved anyone, yet she vaguely implied she did, clearly exploiting the viewers’ admiration for such positive actions to boost her own popularity.
Her fake demeanor in front of the camera almost fooled Lila, showing just how deceitful and hypocritical she was.
Rachel’s TikTok followers had surged past a million last night, but after the live stream, she lost twenty to thirty thousand followers.
And her TikTok video from last night.
[Just opened TikTok, shocked by the 99+ likes, follows, and comments. Glad the child is okay, but the girl who saved him wasn’t me. Stop praising me, I’ll get arrogant.]
Looking at it now, it couldn’t be more ironic.
The girl who saved him wasn’t you, so why are you proud?
This video got flooded with tens of thousands of angry comments from viewers.
On the other hand, discussions about Amelia were heating up.
[Amelia is so beautiful! Way more beautiful and classy than Rachel!]
[It’s not just about looks! Did you hear Quentin mention how Amelia got into the A class?]
[I heard. Apparently, she finished a six-hour test in forty minutes, scoring full marks except for the essay?]
[Seriously? Isn’t Amelia supposed to have grown up in the countryside? Did she have the answers beforehand to score so well and quickly?]
[Someone posted two videos on Instagram, supposedly showing Amelia during the test. Go check it out!]
[Someone else found a video from last week’s charity event! Amelia’s piano performance is miles better than Rachel’s!]
[Amelia is not just beautiful but also kind, brave, and a piano prodigy. I’m totally a fan now!]
The online discussion about Amelia grew more intense, and soon she wasn’t just trending on TikTok but also topped Instagram’s trending list.
Apartment
When Hugo Graves entered the room, it was dimly lit with thick curtains drawn, and the person on the bed was still asleep, hugging a giant blue whale plushie.
Ryan’s messy brown hair and handsome sleeping face were captivating. The thin blanket had slipped halfway to the floor, revealing his naked, muscular back.
Hugo, seemingly accustomed to this sight, bent down to pick up the blanket and coolly shook Ryan awake.
“Get up, it’s late. The crew gave you a day off yesterday, and you spent the whole night gaming. Do you want me to scold you again?”
Ryan’s voice was husky and sexy, “Hugo, you know I gamed all night. Let me sleep a bit more.”
“Get up, I have something to show you.”
Hugo was clearly unmoved by Ryan’s plea, “Didn’t you tell me Kevin asked you to visit home because your sister from the countryside, Amelia, arrived?”
After a few seconds, Ryan seemed to recall this person and finally opened his eyes, “I think so. Why?”
“She’s trending number one on Instagram today, and the buzz is huge. Rachel is involved too. Do you want to check it out?”
