Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Screen Recording Sent to Her Department Head
Gigi Gaines turned, picked up her phone from the side, and raised her voice, "Does any of my girls in the stream know Zayden Wyatt? If not, let me introduce you, so you can steer clear of this piece of trash!"
"What stream?" Zayden Wyattâs expression changed. "Youâre streaming? Did you just broadcast everything that happened?"
"Thatâs right!" Gigi Gaines scoffed. "There are over a hundred thousand people watching the stream right now. The disgusting thing you and Lynn York did will be all over the internet."
"Over a hundred thousand?" Hearing this, Zayden Wyatt actually relaxed. "Do you take me for an idiot? How could you possibly have that much traffic?"
Gigi Gaines snorted coldly. "I donât have that much traffic, but the streamer I follow does."
With that, she couldnât be bothered whether Zayden Wyatt believed her or not. Grabbing her purse, she walked away while speaking to her phone, "Girls, you have to avoid men like thisâthe kind who has a girlfriend and still knowingly acts as the Number Three!"
Zayden Wyatt still thought she was just trying to scare him. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller was a major client he had been pursuing for some time, an older woman nearing forty, with whom he had an appointment to sign a contract tomorrow afternoon.
Zayden Wyatt didnât dare to neglect the call and quickly answered. "President Sutton, hello. Is there anything I can do for you, calling so late? Donât tell me you want to move tomorrow afternoonâs contract signing to right now?" he said in a joking tone.
"Manager Wyatt," President Suttonâs tone was serious as she told him through the phone, "Tomorrowâs contract is canceled. I will not work with someone of questionable character."
With that said, she hung up without waiting for Zayden Wyattâs response.
Zayden Wyatt was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what was going on. When he tried to call back, he discovered he had been blocked.
"Fuck!" he cursed. The next second, another call came in. It was his department head.
Zayden Wyatt composed himself and answered the phone with a laugh. "President Archer, any instructions for me, calling so late?"
President Archer on the other end of the line said coldly, "Come in tomorrow to hand over your work, then go to accounting to settle your final pay. You donât need to come in after that."
"Huh?" Zayden Wyatt was utterly astonished. "President Archer, are you drunk? Is this a joke?"
President Archer chuckled on the other end. "Iâm not drunk. My wife was browsing online and saw you cheating on your girlfriend and acting as a Number Three to break up someone elseâs family. She made me fire you tonight. I wonât say any more. You brought this on yourself."
"But President Archer, this is..." Zayden Wyatt didnât get to finish his sentence before he heard the BEEP BEEP BEEP of a disconnected line.
He remembered what Gigi Gaines had said before she left. His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the floor, a chill creeping into his heart.
âGigi Gaines, youâre so cruel!â
Lynn York chased Steven Jean to his car, insisting the video was fake, that she would never betray him, and that she didnât want a divorce.
"Get out." The veins on Steven Jeanâs hands bulged as he gripped the steering wheel.
Lynn York looked at him, her face tear-streaked and pitiful. "Howie, youâd rather believe a fake video than believe me?"
"You know perfectly well whether the video is fake or not." Steven Jeanâs expression was icy. "Could they fake it in such detail that they even faked the mole on your thigh?"
Lynn Yorkâs gaze trembled, and she said pitifully, "Gigi Gaines came prepared..."
Before she could finish, a sharp ringtone echoed inside the car.
Steven Jean glanced at the caller ID and answered. "Sis."
"Howie, you have to divorce Lynn York!" Sister Jean said excitedly from the other end of the phone. "Zayden Wyatt already admitted to his affair with Lynn York and even broke up with Joey!"
Steven Jeanâs brow furrowed. He asked in a deep voice, "How do you know about this?"
"I saw it on the livestream." Sister Jean was furious. "To have her affair with Zayden Wyatt, Lynn York drugged Joey with sleeping pills, so she must have drugged you too! Iâm so pissed! You absolutely cannot stay with a woman like that!"
Steven Jean hung up and turned his head to stare at Lynn York.
Seeing that the man was finally willing to look at her, Lynn York immediately grabbed his hand and said pitifully, "Howie, please believe me, okay? Iâm sincere with you. I really, really love you."
"Before you slept with Zayden Wyatt, did you drug me with sleeping pills?" Steven Jean suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her by the neck. "Lynn York, youâre so fucking shameless!"
"I... I didnât..." Lynn Yorkâs face instantly flushed red, her eyes filled with guilt. She struggled to shake her head and deny it. "Itâs Gigi Gaines whoâs lying! She just canât stand to see me happy..."
Meanwhile, Gigi Gaines had already disconnected from the livestream, but the bullet comments were still buzzing about the incident.
[Lynn York is from my company. She always acts so high and mighty, I canât believe sheâs so shameless in private!]
[Iâve already screen-recorded this and sent it to her department head, haha]
[Zayden Wyatt was my collaborator on a new project. Not anymore, though.]
[That bitch Lynn York and that bastard Zayden Wyatt, how dare they treat my brother like this! Dammit!]
[Wait, are you Steven Jeanâs sister? Go convince your brother to divorce her! Donât let Lynn York deceive him anymore!]
[Donât worry, I already called him. This divorce is happening!!!]
Renee Jennings watched the bullet comments quietly, nodding from time to time in agreement.
It wasnât until the buzz around the incident died down and the bullet comments urging her to connect with the next person increased that she slowly said, "Alright, letâs start the next connection."
A user named "Lucky" successfully connected. A girl wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared on the split-screen, holding a small corgi in her arms.
Lucky held up the corgiâs short little paw to wave. "Hello, streamer. Hello, everyone. Iâm Christina, and this is Layla."
"Hello, Christina, Layla," Renee Jennings said with a smile. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Streamer, I have a problem Iâd like your help with." Luckyâs expression was a mixture of seriousness and worry. "My Layla has suddenly lost her appetite recently, and I donât know why. Could you help me ask her?"
Renee Jennings asked, "Have you taken her to the vet?"
"Not yet." Lucky scratched her head and laughed awkwardly. "I was thinking that if I could catch your stream these past couple of days and get connected, Iâd ask you. If not, then Iâd take her to the vet for a check-up."
Hearing this, Renee Jennings chuckled. "Itâs okay, but in the future, you should assess the situation. If your furry babyâs condition is serious, you need to get them checked out right away."
"Okay, I understand," Lucky said, nodding quickly.
Renee Jennings looked at the little corgi in her arms and said gently, "Layla, have you not had much of an appetite lately?"
Layla immediately sighed. "Sigh, Christinaâs cooking is so bad, how could I possibly have an appetite?"
Renee Jennings blinked. "Christina, have you been the one preparing Laylaâs food recently?"
"Yes." Lucky explained, "My husband hurt his hand, so Iâve been in charge of the meals and daily life for the three of us recently."
Renee Jennings pressed her lips together slightly and asked tactfully, "So... did Layla start losing her appetite after you took over the cooking?"
