Chapter 21 Although over the past year , every time Linda heard Ivans name , her heart remained calm without a single ripple , the sudden news of his death still left an empty feeling inside her . Scenes from the past flashed through her mind like a reel of film , and all the love and hatred seemed to fade away with them . After a long pause , she exhaled slowly and spoke calmly . Hows The One Tech ? Has the stock price been affected ? Are the games still being maintained as sual ? Rachel swiped and tapped on her tablet , her brows furrowed so tightly they looked like they could crush a fly . The One Tech … hasnt released any announcements . The stock price hasnt changed and is even trending slightly upward . The official game updates are ongoing , with no statements released … Hm ? Linda frowned and opened her laptop . She searched thoroughly , considering whether to call John, their attorney back home , to inquire about the situation . Suddenly , a thought struck her , and she asked , Where did you see this news ? In the livestream of that mistress Katherine . You know , the one Ivan cheated with . Lindas brows knit together as she reluctantly opened Katherines livestream for the first time in ages . There she was , dressed provocatively , though even the heavy filters couldnt completely hide her haggard appearance . The chat was filled with comments from viewers : [ What ? The top supporter passed away ? No wonder the streamer looks so worn out . Sending hugs . ] [ OMG , I was wondering why I hadnt seen him in the past year . Turns out hes dead . ] [ Stay strong , streamer . ] As A Millionaire Heiress 22.3 % anda watched the screen filled with condolences for Katherine , feeling something was off . Once , Katherine had been a somewhat competent gaming streamer , dressing decently and maintaining a moderate viewer count . But now … Linda stared at Katherine dancing suggestively on the stream and typed a line into the chat box . [ How did your top supporter die ? ] Katherine , sharp eyed , immediately spotted the comment amid the flood of messages. She sat down tearfully , dabbing at her heavily filtered but clearly damp eyes . He … he was hit by a car … and died … boohoohoo … As soon as she spoke , Katherine broke down sobbing on camera , her grief on full display , pulling at the heartstrings of her viewers . Rachel leaned closer , her expression complicated . See ? I told you Ivan really is dead . Linda didnt respond , instead typing another question into the chat box . [ I remember you used to be a gaming streamer . Why dont you play games anymore ? ] This comment caused an uproar in the chat before Katherine could respond . [ Its because of that scumbag Mr. Martin ! He canceled Katherines endorsement contract , so now she cant play The One Tech games anymore ! ] [ That old man had no taste ! He probably wanted to take advantage of Katherine , and when she refused , he retaliated against her ! ] [ Exactly ! If the top supporter hadnt died in a car accident , Katherine wouldnt be treated like this ! ] Seeing the ridiculous comments flood the screen , Linda silently closed her laptop . Rachels face darkened further .
