“She’s getting super popular, do you want to see…”
Gloria cut her off, “Mrs. Zhang, I know your family is close to the old woman, but I don’t want to hear a single thing about them.”

Gloria was clearly fuming as she got in the car. “That damn girl is embarrassing me again. Of all things, she had to
become a streamer!
What’s the difference between that and begging online?
She’s just worthless!”
After Stephan closed the car door, his face was grim.
Gloria noticed his displeasure. “What’s wrong with you?”
With no one else around, Stephan’s frustration showed. “I don’t know what’s going on with General Electric. They didn’t choose us as their partner this time.”
“How could that happen?”
Gloria knew this was serious and couldn’t sit still. “Should we go to Brookford and try pulling some strings?”
Stephan stubbed out his cigarette. “Not yet. Their second-in-command is here. I’ll find a chance to pay him a visit.”
“Okay.”
Gloria didn’t dare contact the bride’s family either, since things were a mess over there.
Stephan asked again, “You said before that Julie had a way to get into The Winthrop Estate. How?”
At the mention of this, Gloria got angry. “Julie and I went, but they wouldn’t let us in at all. The person in charge said

the Etherhart Herb has been returned to its rightful owner. And your mother, seriously! She gets the thing back and doesn’t say a word, just teams up with that fake to make my life difficult!”
“That’s enough.”
Stephan cut off her rambling. “After all, you raised her for a while. Don’t make the relationship too tense. That Ether- hart Herb, what exactly does it do? Did you find out?”
Gloria leaned closer to him. “Julie said it has extraordinary medicinal value, especially for terminally ill patients.”
“I see.”
Stephan had an idea. “If the old woman wants to keep that girl, just let her. Stop interfering all the time.”
Gloria said one thing but meant another, “I don’t have time to deal with your high-maintenance old mother. If you don’t mind them losing face for you by livestreaming, I have no objection. When the business world starts laughing at you again, you can deal with it yourself.”
Stephan frowned as he listened.
The livestreaming… he really should do something about it!
With his status in Criford, how could he let the old woman go online to earn pennies? If word got out, people would definitely laugh at him.
Thinking of this, Stephan decided to go to the narrow alleyway himself!
Dusk. The clinic. Madam Whitman had been busy all afternoon and was about to rest, rubbing her legs.
A familiar voice came from the doorway. “Mom.”
Madam Whitman ‘s expression changed abruptly. “What are you doing here?”
Stephan hadn’t shown his face in almost half a year. He looked around at what he remembered as a shabby massage shop, somewhat surprised. “Mom, did you renovate the place?”
Madam Whitman ‘s eyes were cold. “This has nothing to do with you.”
“Mom, I’m your son. How can this have nothing to do with me?”
Stephan now thought of being a good son, dropping the nutritional supplements he’d bought on the floor. “I heard you’re doing some kind of livestream now, Mom. What are you doing that for? It’s so embarrassing.”
Stephan’s mother took a deep breath. “I don’t know what’s embarrassing. I just know it makes money, and I can sup- port myself. Are you done? If you’re done, get out.”
