"Apologies, Ms. Seymour." Despite the supposed apology, the person's tone was haughty. "After the episode in which your in-laws appeared went viral, our production team has been getting more than ten calls per day. Our schedules are now fully packed till the end of the year. If you don't mind being aired late, I can make a registration for you. Someone will inform you of your shooting date by then."Larissa knew all too well that she had offended the whole production crew with her harsh words then, so their deliberately difficult attitude was to be expected."No need for the trouble," she said. She only meant to try her luck by making this call. If it did work, then it would be for the best; but if it didn't, she still had an alternative.Working in hotel management may be difficult, but the best part about it was accumulating a network of connections she could reach out to—especially at a seven-star hotel like the Regal Dynasty where most of its guests were boss-level players.Lar

"Because this is the studio supplied to me by my company. StreamWave Studios is under Microworks Corporation," Zero explained.…The Microworks Building had a total of seventy floors, and it was Covenford's tallest office building to date. Because of its extremely modern appearance as well as the transparent observation deck at its peak, it became one of the landmarks of the city and attracted a great deal of tourists to visit.However, this was Larissa's first time here.6:30 pm was way past the business hours of most companies. A few banks nearby had already turned off their lights, merging with the darkness of the night. However, the Microworks Building was still lit up like the brightest star in the sky. Not a single floor was dark.This was probably normal for an IT company.Having seen Travis working overtime before, Larissa was nonchalant even as she faced this brightly lit skyscraper. Her two companions were likewise unbothered—after all, they'd had significant life exper

Dylan did not respond to her question, however."Your friend hasn't made it, right?" He grinned like he knew everything.A little stunned, Larissa shot back instinctively, "How did you know?""At this time, the elevators are packed with people. For Floor 45… I suppose even if the elevator's coming down from the top, it wouldn't stop there."Other than that, it was her reaction after receiving her friend's text—she did not go inside but decided to buy coffee. That meant that she would still be waiting for quite a long time."Why don't you tell your friend to stay where she is? We'll send you guys up. You can try our company's coffee too. It's way better than any coffee you could buy out there!" Dylan looked proud.Larissa was not comfortable enough to say yes. "We'll just park ourselves at Starbucks for a while. You and Mr. Rogers can go about your business!""We just came down here for a walk. There's no business to be had." Dylan was very sincere, but Larissa was doubtful of hi

As the elevator did not stop during the journey, it was fast. It did not even take two minutes to get to Floor 45.Larissa told Zero that they were going up by themselves, and she was waiting at the elevators on that floor. So, they circled around to meet up with her.Zero did not know Kevan or Dylan, so when she saw the group, she was a little startled.She asked Larissa, "I thought you were just bringing two people with you?"Larissa laughed nervously as she pointed at the two extra people. "These two are my friends who work at Microworks. We happened to meet downstairs, and they brought us up."When he heard her say "friends", Kevan frowned a little."Ohh! I see." Zero did not suspect anything and looked down at her phone before saying in a panic, "It's past 7 pm. Let's go to my studio! My stream is going to be late!"Dylan asked, "May we join you? I've never seen a livestream on set in person!"He displayed a great deal of interest, so Zero agreed for Larissa's sake. "Of co

Larissa looked up frantically at Zero, who gave her a reassuring look in return. Bracing herself against the table with one hand, Zero bent down to look at the camera."I won't be streaming games today," she said seriously. "I just want to take up a little bit of your time, to borrow a bit of your power to seek justice for my Lady Luck."The phrase "Lady Luck" was always something Zero said whenever she played tournaments back then."I called my Lady Luck last night; we will definitely win this tournament!""If my Lady Luck said we can get the championship, we WILL get the championship!"The fans who had followed Zero from the beginning knew that this Lady Luck was someone she saw as someone more important than her own teammates, and Larissa made quite a deep impression on them when she spent a thousand dollars on 100 Tier 2 Gift Subs on Zero's first stream.The comments went a little wild."Woah man! We finally get to meet Lady Luck today!""She's Lady Luck indeed!""Bro Zero

Glancing at him, Zero's assistant silently moved aside.Kevan, on the other hand, ignored him, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.After Larissa showed the document, she put it away."Alright, let's get down to business."What Ms. Levange said about me being childfree is true, but I will not be explaining why due to personal reasons. I can only say that it's definitely not what Ms. Levange and her son, Mr. Travis Hardy, think."Mr. Hardy knew from the start that I did not want children. He also said that he did not mind, and that was only when I decided to be with him. He also promised me that he will try to convince his parents, but he never fulfilled it. When we went back for the new year celebrations, I was still pushed by his parents to get pregnant. Ms. Levange's supposed 'take me to the hospital for a checkup' was actually a visit to a folk healer in their town. As for the word 'psycho', I have never said such a thing."After the celebrations, we returned to Covenford, a

"I stayed at the hospital until Ms. Levange woke up. But the moment she did, she dragged me to Mr. Hardy's ward and wanted me to take care of him. It was only then did I know that Mr. Hardy was now paralyzed from the waist down and would be bed bound for the rest of his life. So, Ms. Levange wanted to get rid of her "burden" as soon as possible."Compared to his parents, Mr. Hardy had more of a sense of shame. He asked me to leave and said that he would never let his parents disturb me any longer. But not long after that, I got a call from the nurse, who said she could not find Mr. Hardy's parents. She could only call me from the number left behind by Ms. Levange so that I could pay for Mr. Hardy's overdue medical fees amounting to ten thousand dollars."The nurse who called Larissa entered the livestream room. After she stated her identity, she began to detail what happened that night."Finally, let me tell you why Ms. Levange and Mr. Hardy could not pay for the medical fees and in

Coincidentally, Kevan had been with the representative for StreamWave Studios in the morning. When he heard about this, he immediately requested the approval of Zero's request.Together, Kevan and Dylan quickly finished their work before 7 pm so that they could wait for Larissa on the first floor of the company building.So, in theory, Kevan would not have had anything else left to do."I need to find someone to edit the video, secure the top headlines, and get it all trending," Kevan said.…It had not even been half an hour since Zero's stream ended, and the video of her stream had made its rounds online.Various big social media accounts began posting articles with regard to the livestream. "The Daughter-In-Law Has Responded Live! 'The Mediators Room' Debunked!""Get 'The Mediators Room' to Apologize!" "Is 'The Mediators Room' Good at Truth Distortion?" "Was This All a Setup? The Sins of 'The Mediators Room'!" "Who Is Consuming Netizens' Kindness?" "Stop Donating! T
