Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 1288

"Ricardo, what's with the theatrics? Didn't we clear this up already? We said we found your bracelet. Now, I just want you to explain, what's the deal with that bracelet of yours? Before you keep misleading your audience in your streams, let me set the record straight: my mom didn't pick up your bracelet. The gold she pawned was a gift from my dad, and a kind stranger helped her pawn it. I'll find that person someday. But you, what does your bracelet even look like?" The truth was, Leona had made up the bracelet story on the fly. Caught off guard, she hesitated for a few seconds before replying. "It's just a layered gold bracelet, worthless to me. Let's not talk about it, Emma."

Emma scoffed, "Worthless to you, sure. Just like my mom's dignity and our well-being mean nothing to you. Why shouldn't I ask? I'm asking you now, are you certain it was my mom who found your bracelet? We're live, and your every word can be used as evidence." Her words hit hard, and the viewers watching their spat online were thoroughly entertained. It was rare to see someone go head-to-head with a big-time streamer like Emma, directly calling them out.

Leona was left speechless under the pressure, having only insinuated in her streams but never directly accused Peyton of taking the bracelet. That would be spreading rumors.

Seeing Leona's hesitation, Emma pressed on. "Not answering because you know if you explicitly say it was my mom who picked it up, and she didn't, you'll be held accountable for the cyberbullying we've endured, right? Since all you did was nudge your fans with insinuations. Now that I'm confronting you, you've gone mute. Leona, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, hiding behind your words. Calling you a 'snake' would be an understatement."

Leona was furious but couldn't muster a reply, her confidence crushed. How did Emma become so articulate all of a sudden? Damn it!

Emma, seizing the opportunity while Leona was still silent, continued her barrage. "See, everyone in the stream? She won't confirm it was us who took the bracelet because then she'd have to face the consequences. She doesn't dare say it, so why are you all so convinced it was my mom?"

Leona knew this could tarnish her reputation if it continued. "Emma, I never said it was you who took it. It was just a suspicion."

"Suspect your ass! If it's just a suspicion, then tell your fans that! Can't they just worship the ground you walk on without harassing my streams?"

Caught off guard by Emma's sudden swearing, Leona was boiling with anger but unable to retort. Emma, having nothing to lose since she was already at the bottom, spoke her mind freely. The live chat was buzzing with messages.

"Emma's right, this streamer just spouts nonsense. Now she can't even own up to it?"

"She's been getting a lot of hate for this, didn't even stream for a week."

"What's with Leona acting all innocent? I wish I could jump through the screen and slap her!"

These were Emma's fans, while Leona's supporters accused Emma of being rude and lacking mannerst

Emma, reading the comments, smirked. "You all were disgusting in my stream, should I pull up those moments and throw them in your idol's face?"

"Emma, I-"

"Don't call me sis. I don't have a vile sister like you. And my mom only has me."

Leona burst into tears, never having been spoken to like this. While she cursed Emma internally, she couldn't voice her thoughts on the live stream, needing to maintain her image. Leona was seething with hatred but then heard Emma go on.

"Leona, are you crying? Really crying, huh? Funny, just asking for the truth, and you feel wronged? I've been harassed by your fans for so long and haven't shed a tear. What right do you have to cry? My mom was hospitalized for a week from stress, and didn't cry. Now a few questions from me, and you're bawling? Ridiculous. I can't stand the sight of you anymore. Stream's over, folks. If you want to comfort Ricardo's precious flower, go ahead. I can't watch this anymore. Goodbye, snake."

With that, Emma cut off the connection, returning to her own stream, relieved to have finally rid herself of Leona's manipulative

facade, Feeling unprecedented

liberated, Emma couldn't help but revel in the afterglow of her verbal viêtory.
