CHAPTER 115: I AM NOT YOUR DAD

Steven quickly typed a message in the chat.

[I am not your dad.]

Emma continued, full of excitement.

"But you are my daddy! Thank you, Daddy!"

Steven shook his head, thinking he was indeed too soft-hearted. Her claiming she was going to buy a watch for her dad was probably a lie, too.

On the other hand, the chat kept rolling.

[Whoever pays gets to be her dad. She has no dignity at all!]

[Exactly; she has such thick skin! I’m one hundred percent sure she’s lying about buying a watch!]

Emma was anxious.

"I’m not lying!"

[Then turn on your camera and let us see if you’re really playing chess yourself!]

Emma saw that Steven hadn’t left the live stream room and didn’t dare to turn on her camera, afraid that her identity would be revealed.

"No... I can’t."

[Why not? I think you’re just scared since you’re lying!]

Steven realized he was wasting his time, watching a live stream of an influencer packaged by the company.

He shook his head and exited the live stream room.

That one million was just a nutrition fee for the kid.

Emma finally relaxed when he left the live stream room, turning on her camera.

As soon as she did so, her cute and delicate little face was revealed, stunning everyone watching the live stream.

Meanwhile, after Steven turned off his phone, he headed to Alex’s room.

The kid had been in his room all day, and he had no idea what he was doing.

"Alex, it’s time to eat..."

While speaking, his glance accidentally stopped at Alex’s computer screen.

Alex entered Emma’s live stream room out of concern for both her and Steven. Having not expected Steven to suddenly enter his room, he had no time to close his computer.

Emma’s little face was clearly visible to Steven.

Alex felt uneasy; now that her identity had been uncovered, Steven would probably try to take her from Cecilia.

But there was nothing to worry about; if his dad really tried that, he would firmly stand by Cecilia!

Thinking this, he calmly spoke.

"Surprise."

In his entire life, Steven’s eyes had never been as wide as when he stared at the live stream he had just left moments ago. The little girl had the exact same face as Alex, and he was stunned for a full minute.

This... this is...

"A face swap with AI?"

Alex was speechless.

The chat was filled with comments like [Ahhhh so cute!]

Emma pinched her own little face, each of her actions natural and representing nothing similar to AI.

"Dad, please wake up."

"She is clearly your daughter, my sister."

Steven was initially too shocked to believe it, but deep down, he already knew the answer.

‘My daughter?’

His heart was filled with mixed emotions, ultimately overwhelmed by happiness and joy.

"I have a daughter!"

Just then, Zane returned from the live streaming company’s owner. As he entered, he saw Steven sitting in front of the computer with a gentle smile.

What had happened to him?

He didn’t think much about it, starting to report today’s work behind Steven.

"Mr. Lawrence, today I found a chess live stream account that was using the young master’s picture. However, rest assured, as I’ve already warned the owner of the live streaming company, they won’t dare to use the young master’s photo again."

"I also informed the owner of the account, especially the person behind it. They should be completely blacklisted online since they were a whole fraud! Luckily, I discovered it early before anything serious happened..."

Whilst Zane was hoping for praise, he was completely unaware of the signals Alex was giving him to stop talking.

Sure enough, Steven’s smile gradually disappeared.

Alex shook his head, signaling to Zane: “Good luck to you.”

Then, Steven’s voice was cold as he spoke up.

"Did you just say that my daughter is a fraud?"

He slowly turned around, revealing Emma’s face on the computer screen to Zane’s shocked eyes.

Zane was utterly frightened.

"This... she..."

He looked from Alex to Emma, finally coming to accept that the girl in the live stream was indeed Mr. Lawrence’s daughter.

He also recalled his earlier words and could already visualize himself being kicked out.

"Mr. Lawrence, I really didn’t know she was your daughter! I..."

Steven waved his hand; even he, her biological father, had only just found out.

"Make amends by investigating this child, the more details, the better!"

"I want all the information about her!"

Zane quickly agreed. "Yes! I will complete the task!"

Inside the live stream room, Emma’s face instantly boosted the live stream’s popularity, the viewer count skyrocketing and quickly drowning out the few hired trolls.

The owner in the background was stunned; the kid looked identical to the photo he had before. Was she really connected to the Lawrence family?!

Had his previous actions brought trouble for himself?

The assistant was also confused and asked, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Following Zane’s orders, he couldn’t let that face appear to the public. However, since she started the live stream herself, closing it rashly would offend her, along with the Lawrence family.

Moreover, so many people had seen her face by now. Closing it would be redundant.

"Pack up... and run away," the owner said despondently, slumping in his chair.

As more viewers flocked to the live stream, Emma was jubilant.

“Thank you, everyone~”

Everyone was there for her looks, and they were happily spending money as they saw such an adorable face. This caused her live stream’s tips to soar rapidly.

Seeing people rush to give Emma their money, Steven’s competitive spirit flared up.

Remembering how he had just doubted her, he felt a surge of guilt. He decided to spend extravagantly and get to the top of the leaderboard.

As he was about to make the payments, a huge gift suddenly appeared on the live stream screen.

[Oh my God, someone just tipped a full ten million!]
