Chapter 94: Chapter 94

But every time an event starts, the online scene is quite peculiar.

"Why is there another event? I can never snatch anything, I’d rather die than go."

"So annoying, so annoying, I’d rather die too than go."

"I’m not going either, anyone who does is a puppy."

"Not attending +10086."

At first, naive people really thought Penson was doomed when they saw these comments, didn’t they see all the netizens resisting Penson’s lottery events? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

However, on the actual lottery day, countless people are glued to their computers and phones, ready to crash Weibo any minute.

Those who claimed they wouldn’t participate are often the most enthusiastic, upgrading their internet speed to the heavens just to secure a spot in the lottery.

Indeed, the world is full of tricks.

You said you wouldn’t participate in Penson’s event to save your life, where’s your backbone now?

Paige Sterling couldn’t stand Vibo crashing every now and then, so she developed a program specifically for lotteries.

This program, no matter how many people joined, never crashed, attracting attention from several social media companies wanting to buy it from Paige.

Paige now throws together a program casually, and it’s worth millions. Once mocked for her fantasy of making 5 billion, reality proved that 5 billion is truly just pocket change for Paige.

With so much money she didn’t know where to spend it, Paige suddenly remembered her mother had once established a charity.

After her mother passed, her father barely kept it going for a few years, but eventually, it practically became a shell.

Paige decided to revive this charity, but she needed to discuss it with Jared Sullivan.

So Paige went back to the Sterling Family to find Jared Sullivan.

She happened to see Skylar Hughes bringing someone to the Sterling Family.

"Aunt, come in, treat this as your own home, and don’t be polite."

Paige glanced over and saw it was Yvette Hughes’ sister, Chloe Hughes, who used to visit often but stopped for some unknown reason.

Seeing her today, Paige almost didn’t recognize her.

Yvette smiled at Paige, "Paige, you’re back?"

Chloe’s eyes fell on Paige, her fair skin envied by women, coupled with her jet-black hair and naturally crimson lips that popped even without lipstick, she stood there overshadowing the three other women.

Chloe smiled, "You’re Paige? It’s been so many years, you’ve changed a lot, do you remember me? I’m your aunt."

Paige nodded, knowing Chloe wasn’t easy to get along with, she avoided much conversation and asked Yvette, "Aunt, is Dad back?"

"Your dad isn’t back yet, do you need him for something?"

Paige murmured in acknowledgment, "Then I’ll go inside to wait for him first."

Chloe noticed Yvette and Paige seemed to get along well and frowned.

With Yvette’s gentle nature, shouldn’t she be bullied by Paige until she didn’t dare make a sound?

Now, their harmonious relationship was unexpected to Chloe.

She rolled her eyes and asked Paige, "Paige? Why did you come back to see your dad? Isn’t it to ask him for money?"

Chloe guessed this was definitely the case, "You’re not young anymore, how can you always rely on your dad for money? This bad habit isn’t good, no matter how rich the Sterling Family is, you’ll have to get married someday and have your own career..."

Her nagging in Paige’s ear was starting to irritate Paige.

"Me asking my dad for money, what’s it to you? Why are you meddling?"

This choked Chloe, souring her expression immediately.

"What kind of manners do you have? I’m your elder, and you’re talking back to me?"

She turned to Yvette, "You’re her mom, are you just going to watch? Can’t you show some authority as the head lady of the house?"

Yvette tugged at Chloe, satisfied if she could maintain peace with Paige.

Chloe, exasperated with Yvette’s lack of ambition, poked her forehead, "Can you show some backbone?"

Letting a stepdaughter overshadow her, such a waste of the position as Mrs. Sterling! Can’t she show some promise?

If it were her, she would have had this Paige toeing the line long ago.

Yvette didn’t understand what Chloe meant by having promise, Paige wasn’t one to stir trouble, and she felt life was quite good as it was.

Chloe carried on, practically insinuating in every word, and Paige heard her even lambast her own father, fixing a cold gaze on her.

"Apologize immediately."

Paige tossed the book in her hand on the coffee table, "I told you to apologize."

Chloe stood up instantly, "Is this how you talk to your elders? You’re so grown up and still so ill-mannered?"

"If you don’t apologize, then leave the Sterling Family, this is my home, don’t annoy me here."

Then Paige looked at Skylar Hughes, who was fanning the flames, "And you, who allowed you into the Sterling Family?"

Skylar pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Paige turned to Yvette, "Aunt Hughes, out of respect for you I’ve given them face, but they don’t know how to appreciate it, that’s not my fault, now is it?"

Yvette looked embarrassed, "They speak harshly, Paige, don’t mind them."

Saying that, she went to pull Chloe away.

Chloe brushed off Yvette’s hand, pointing at Paige.

"What gives you the right to kick me out? The lady of this house is my sister, not you, I really ought to teach you a lesson on behalf of your mom, so that you don’t ignore the rules and get snubbed by your future in-laws!"

Just as she finished speaking, Jared Sullivan’s authoritative voice rang out at the door,

"Who wants to teach my daughter a lesson?"

Chloe’s expression changed instantly, flipping like a page, "Brother-in-law, you’re back!"

Her voice was so saccharine that Paige got goosebumps.

Yvette made to take Jared’s coat, but Chloe elbowed her aside and ran ahead, "Brother-in-law, a long day at work, must be exhausting?"

Jared sidestepped her hand reaching out, frowning.

Chloe was left awkward, "Haha, this kid Paige is too unruly, as an elder I have to guide her, brother-in-law you should understand my feelings?"

Jared replied blandly, "Guide her in what? My daughter’s so well-behaved, are you going to teach her to be shameless?"

Chloe’s face stiffened.

Jared turned to Yvette, who hurriedly grabbed Chloe and Skylar, pulling them to her room.

Once back in the room, she said wearily, "Can you please not cause me any trouble?"
