So, it turned out that "Little Boy" was causing all this trouble behind the scenes.
Maggie quickly opened TrendTok, searched for "Little Boy", and saw the live stream screen.
In the live stream room, Jared was facing the camera, righteously accusing Maggie of various crimes, while the victims behind him also faced the camera, expressing their anger and dissatisfaction one after another.
"Little Boy, you son of a b*tch!" Maggie cursed furiously.
"What's wrong, Sis?" Cara was confused, wondering why she suddenly cursed Little Boy.
"So it turns out this guy is causing trouble, look, he's live streaming," Maggie shouted.
Cara quickly leaned in upon hearing this, and seeing the live stream screen, she suddenly understood. "No wonder Jared refused our conditions, it turns out someone is backing him." She had been wondering how an ordinary nobody could resist the temptation of money.
"How did Jared contact so many people?" the female assistant beside her raised a question.
Maggie frowned, "Did someone leak our company's customer information?"
Is there an insider in the company?
"Sister Maggie, I think it's not necessarily someone inside the company who leaked it," Cara analyzed calmly, "Don't forget, 'Little Boy' is a
This sentence was a wake-up call.
"Bastard, 'Little Boy' this bastard, it must be him, we'll report it to the police immediately!" Maggie shouted.
"Report it to the police? It's useless, Sister Maggie," Cara shook her head, "'Little Boy' is not an ordinary
A
Reporting to the police won't work.
"Then what should we do? Can we only let him manipulate us?" Maggie said exasperatedly.
"Sister Maggie, why don't we contact 'Little Boy' directly and talk to him?" Cara suggested.
"Talk to him?" Maggie hesitated slightly, "Will he be willing to talk to us?"
"Let's try, it's better than doing nothing."
Cara opened TrendTok and found "Little Boy"'s account, but there was no contact information left on it.
"Sister Maggie, he seems to have posted an email address in the live stream room," the female assistant reminded her.
"Email address? Quickly find it!"
Soon, Cara found "Little Boy"'s email address.
Maggie immediately drafted an email and sent it over.
{"Little Boy, I know it was you who instigated Jared to cause trouble. I honestly don't think I've offended you, so why are you targeting me?"}
After sending the email, Maggie anxiously waited for the other party's reply.
If "Little Boy" ignored her, then she could only connect with him directly in the live stream room.
"Ding!"
A crisp notification sound rang, and "Little Boy" replied to her email.
Maggie quickly clicked open the email.
{"Teacher Maggie, you've misunderstood, haven't you?"}
Misunderstood?
Seeing the word 'misunderstood', Maggie couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
She didn't believe that "Little Boy" would help Jared for no reason.
{"I know, you must still be holding a grudge about the last time we connected during the live stream, when I said a few unpleasant things to you," Maggie replied, "If it's because of this matter, I apologize to you. I hope you can be the bigger person and let me off the hook."
"'Teacher Maggie, you really misunderstood me. I don't have any personal issues with you. I'm just helping Jared get justice," 'Little Boy' replied, "There's nothing I can do, I'm just that kind of warm-hearted person. When I see someone being bullied, I can't help but want to lend a hand."}
"Alright, stop pretending with me. Tell me, what do you actually want?" Maggie was too lazy to waste any more words with him and just laid her cards on the table.
{"Return the money."}
These simple words made Maggie grit her teeth in anger.
{"$14,000! I'll give you $14,000, can this matter be settled?"}
The other party didn't reply.
This means he thinks it's too little.
{"$28,000."}
Still no reply.
{"$42,000."}
Still no reply.
Maggie was furious, his appetite was too big.
This is too much.
"Return my hard-earned money!"
"Maggie, you liar! Hurry up and return the money!"
...
Outside the office, the shouting of the crowd continued.
{"$70,000, this is my bottom line. If you don't agree again, I'll report it to the police."}
"Ding!"
"Little Boy" replied, sending a string of bank account numbers.
Maggie couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "What's with the act? Bullshit about upholding justice, it's still for money."
"Sister Maggie, do we really have to give him $70,000?" Cara, who was beside her, saw the chat history between Maggie and "Little Boy".
"Transfer the money." Maggie's expression was grim.
She wasn't afraid of the people shouting outside, they were just a bunch of ordinary workers who couldn't cause much of a stir.
But "Little Boy" was different, he was a
If he kept holding onto this matter and endlessly hyped it up, that would be a big problem.
Rather than that, it was better to spend some money and settle the matter.
Cara transferred $70,000 according to the account provided by "Little Boy".
"The money has been transferred, I've sent you the screenshot. Can you tell your people to withdraw now?" Maggie sent a message to "Little Boy".
"Watch the live stream." 'Little Boy' only replied with these words.
Maggie was confused and quickly opened "Little Boy"'s live stream room.
She saw "Little Boy" facing the camera, saying with a chuckle:
"Brothers, there's an unexpected situation, the live stream might have to end temporarily."
As soon as he said this, the netizens in the live stream room immediately exploded.
[What's going on? Why is it suddenly ending?]
[Boss, don't go! We haven't seen enough yet!]
[What exactly happened?]
...
However, before the netizens could react, "Little Boy" started laughing, "Haha, just messing with you guys. Even if the King of Hell came today, this live stream must continue!" Elliot said with a smile, "But, something very interesting did happen just now, and I'll share it with everyone now."
Saying that, he posted the transfer screenshot that Maggie had just sent him, as well as the chat history between the two of them, all in the live stream room.
"Did you see that? Brothers, Maggie just privately transferred me $70,000 to make me stop," Elliot said with a smile, "$70,000, Teacher Maggie is really generous when she makes a move."
Seeing this scene, Maggie was dumbfounded, "Is... is he crazy?"
She couldn't understand Little Boy's actions.
The agent and assistant were also stunned by "Little Boy"'s move; they completely didn't understand why he exposed himself.
He had clearly already received the money.
What benefit was there for him in this exposure?
A voice came through the headset.
Elliot chuckled inwardly, "You don't understand now, do you? You're confused now, aren't you?"
"Brothers, are you very confused about why I accepted $70,000 and still want to expose this matter?" Elliot said to the camera, "I'll give everyone a hint, pay attention to the receiving account on this transfer screenshot. Are there any sharp-eyed brothers who can spot something?"
[Account? What's the hint?]
[I don't understand, Boss, just tell us directly, stop keeping us in suspense!]
[Could some expert please explain!]
...
The netizens were full of questions.
