The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 284

Miranda dropped Hannah off at home before heading to the company's gaming lounge. She played a couple of rounds with the team before leaving.

The gaming lounge was a popular spot for esports players to stream during their downtime. Most of them were former members of Vortex Esports, where Lysander had been.

Lysander and Arabella had become notorious in the esports world, thanks in part to some of these players. After being tricked by the brother-sister duo on the reality show, these players felt betrayed and had no qualms about voicing their grievances during their streams.

They aired out every grievance, from when Lysander joined the team to his bizarre "sister-worship" antics on the show.

Before, they held back due to being on the same team and fearing the power of the Hawke family. But once they left Vortex for Flying Fish Legion, they felt liberated.

With insiders spilling the beans, Lysander and Arabella earned the nickname "esports pariahs". Lysander's popularity plummeted since then, and Vortex Esports removed him from his captaincy, forming a new team instead.

Eventually, Lysander found himself isolated, leading to his departure from Vortex. Now, his reputation was in shambles, and his once-loyal fans had turned their backs on him.

After leaving Vortex, Lysander signed with an unimpressive team that sought to capitalize on his controversial fame.

Miranda, with her natural charisma, often visited the lounge to boost the morale and visibility of the players and newcomers. Her admirable gaming skills made her a favorite among the players and gaming fans alike.

Whenever she appeared on a stream, the viewership soared, attracting even professional gamers to tune in. Marion, recognizing Miranda's star power, encouraged her to make regular appearances through live streams.
