Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1473

If this had been back in the day, Peyton would've been absolutely livid. But things were different now. Her daughter was rolling in dough, and even if she shouted it from the rooftops, no one in the village would buy it. Why waste her breath? Just enjoy life, she thought. As expected, when Peyton mentioned Emma was pulling in millions every month, the person on the other end burst into hysterical laughter, accusing her of being delusional. After hanging up, Peyton let out a cold snort. "Short-sighted fools, my Emma really is making that much!" Emma overheard this and couldn't help but chuckle, feeling a warm sense of pride.

Being a popular streamer now, Emma needed someone who wouldn't buckle under pressure. But after scouring for options, she realized relying on her own resources was too risky. If the truth got out, it would affect too many people.

"So, Dustin knows you're pregnant, but you want to keep it from him that he's the dad?" Aubree was one of the few who knew the truth.

Emma nodded, her face clouded with concern. "Aubree, I thought about finding someone to pretend, but with my fanbase, if I pick the wrong person, this whole thing could explode."
