Chapter 226: Single Woman Living Alone

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Single Woman Living Alone

In just five minutes, the number of viewers in the livestream broke twenty thousand.

Renee blinked, a little uncertain. "Twenty thousand people?"

[Streamer, blink again and it’ll be thirty thousand.]

[Even during the day when lots of people are at work, you get over 200,000 viewers. Tonight’s stream will definitely break 300,000.]

Renee was still reading the comments when the screen suddenly flashed, bursting with colorful special effects.

A lot of people were sending her gifts.

Renee couldn’t even keep up with all the "thank yous."

[Hahaha, no need to thank us, Streamer!]

[Renee: My eyes are blurry from watching and my mouth is sore from talking.]

[Streamer, if you really want to thank us, just connect with a few more people~]

Renee saw that comment and raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then. I’ll start connecting with random viewers now."

"Barbie Lowe" connection successful.

A girl with exquisite makeup and a stunning look appeared on the split screen.

Renee’s eyes lit up when she saw her face. A faint smile touched her lips. "You really do look like a Barbie doll."

"Thank you for the compliment, Streamer," Barbie Lowe said politely.

[Whoa, it’s Barbie Lowe!]

[Beautiful Barbie, so fine!]

[Barbie Lowe actually got connected to the stream! She’s so beautiful and so lucky. Where’s the justice in that!]

Seeing the comments, Renee realized many viewers knew Barbie Lowe.

Remembering that she didn’t even recognize Julian Nash, everyone rushed to fill her in on who Barbie Lowe was.

[Barbie Lowe is a beauty influencer.]

[The famous influencer Barbie Lowe~ she’s a beauty streamer.]

Renee clicked on her profile. Barbie Lowe had over three million followers.

Barbie Lowe laughed coyly and explained, "Streamer, don’t listen to them. I’m just a small-time streamer."

Although she had over three million followers, one million of them were bought. And on a good day, her livestreams only got about ten thousand viewers at most.

Hearing this, Renee smiled. "Just like me, then."

"You’re being too modest!" Barbie Lowe said. "You’re the real star streamer. You get hundreds of thousands of viewers every time."

"People just like watching a spectacle," Renee said, then changed the subject. "Barbie Lowe, do you have any pets?"

Barbie Lowe nodded, getting up to bring over a Devon Rex cat. "This is my baby girl, Egg Roll."

Renee looked at Egg Roll and smiled. "Hello, Egg Roll."

Barbie Lowe rubbed Egg Roll’s head, her expression turning serious. "Streamer, there’s something I need your help with."

Renee: "Go ahead and tell me."

Barbie Lowe: "I... I feel like someone’s been watching me."

[Is a creep stalking the beautiful girl?]

[So scary! Barbie, you have to be careful and protect yourself!]

[Oh god, my skin is already crawling...]

Renee frowned slightly. "Why do you feel that way?"

Barbie Lowe pursed her lips, a look of terror on her face as she explained, "Even though I’m a social media creator and don’t have a fixed work schedule, I still have to go out for shoots often. But recently, I’ve noticed that whenever I get home, Egg Roll starts meowing at the space under my bed."

[Don’t tell me there’s someone hiding under the bed!]

[AHHHH, that’s terrifying!]

"At first, I thought she had a toy under the bed, so I turned on a flashlight to help her find it, but I discovered..." Barbie Lowe swallowed nervously.

[Oh god, you’re so brave! You actually dared to look under the bed directly.]

[What did you discover?]

Renee was also waiting for her to continue.

Barbie Lowe took a deep breath before continuing, "There was nothing under the bed."

[Phew—you scared me to death.]

[Good thing there wasn’t. If there had been a man hiding there... I can’t even imagine the consequences!]

Renee said softly, "So, you want me to ask Egg Roll why she’s been meowing at the space under your bed?"

Barbie Lowe didn’t answer the question. Instead, she continued listing the strange occurrences in her home. "I always feel like someone is hiding in the shadows, watching me. And another thing—my underwear that I hang out to dry on the balcony keeps disappearing for no reason."

[Damn, a pervert definitely stole them!]

[Barbie, do you live alone?]

Barbie Lowe nodded. "Yes, I’m a single woman living alone."

[Single women living alone really are easy targets for criminals.]

[Streamer, hurry up and ask for Barbie what’s going on!]

[This is a serious matter, you have to take it seriously!!!]

Barbie Lowe chimed in with the comments, "Right. The more I thought about it later, the more scared I got. But I’m also afraid I can’t file a police report without any evidence."

Renee frowned. "Do you have any security cameras installed in your home?"

Barbie Lowe shook her head. "No."

Renee looked at Egg Roll in her arms. After a moment, she said flatly, "When you found your underwear was being stolen, you didn’t think to install a camera to see what was happening?"

"No," Barbie Lowe explained. "I wasn’t sure at first, and installing a camera is a technical job. I’m not very good with that kind of stuff, so I don’t know how."

[Barbie, there are lots of easy-to-use cameras now.]

[Yeah, installing a camera isn’t hard.]

[You have to be careful!]

[Streamer, please hurry and ask Egg Roll if a pervert has ever been inside Barbie’s house!]

Renee glanced at the comments, her tone nonchalant. "There’s no need to ask. I already know what’s going on."

[Huh? You know already?]

[But you haven’t even asked yet?]

Barbie Lowe was stunned for a few seconds, then asked in surprise, "Streamer, you know?"

Renee picked up the mug beside her and took a sip of water. "It’s not just me who knows. You know too, don’t you?"

"What... what do you mean?" Barbie Lowe frowned. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

The smile vanished from Renee’s face, her eyes turning cold. "If you don’t want me to expose you, you should disconnect from the stream yourself."

[What’s going on?]

[What happened? Why am I so confused?]

[Streamer, don’t leave us hanging! Spill the tea!]

A flash of displeasure crossed Barbie Lowe’s eyes, but she asked with an innocent expression, "Streamer, what on earth are you talking about? Expose what? I don’t understand a single word."

"Fine." Renee lowered her gaze and smiled. "Then I won’t be polite anymore."

[Why do I feel like there’s killing intent behind the streamer’s smile?]

[The plot thickens.]

Barbie Lowe’s face was calm. "Go on, then."

Renee said slowly, "No one has ever broken into your house. Egg Roll never meowed at the space under your bed. And you never lost any of your underwear."

[Huh?]

[Streamer, how do you know?]

Barbie Lowe frowned again, a flicker of unease in her heart. "What gives you the right to say that? I’m the one this is happening to!"

Renee’s gaze sharpened as she stated unequivocally, "You made it all up."

"How did I make it up?" Barbie Lowe said, annoyed. "Don’t you dare slander me!"

"Is that so?" A hint of mockery appeared in Renee’s eyes. "Your cat just told me your whole plan. I know exactly what you’re thinking."

[What plan?]

[Looks like there’s more to this story!]

Barbie Lowe lowered her eyes and frowned in thought, feigning composure. "Are you crazy? I can’t be bothered talking to you."

And with that, she disconnected.
