“It’s not easy living at the top of the chain,” Eva stated. “There’s always going to be someone who thinks they would be better off in your place...” “...And will go to extreme unbelievable lengths to reach their goal,” Stasia finished. I let my eyes drift shut and gently shook my head. “I...I sometimes miss the way my life used to be before Aldo reappeared. It may have been lonely, but it was safe. I was just a normal person with a career and a son that I would give anything for.”

The live stream went as scheduled, and within less than a minute of starting, the viewer count exploded, climbing steadily. Once the numbers were high enough, I didn't waste any time. I immediately pulled out Freddie's records from his time at the orphanage. Sebastian, the orphanage director, might not know his place, but the people in the facility knew who was signing their paychecks. I'd also contacted Freddie's old classmates, arranging for them to testify. Though Freddie had lived at the orphanage, he had, under Christina's orders, always attended an elite school off-campus. His lifestyle was extravagant, and he had no qualms about flaunting his wealth.

I thought, 'The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear. Aileen walked to a dead end. Although, I hated Aileen. I didn't have much of a grudge against Emma. When Emma was in trouble, I helped Emma and gave her some money. So Emma was very grateful to me... Nowadays, it had become harder and harder to go to universities. The number of students going to the top university was limited. There were only a few dozen places available in the entire country. As for the top university, our school had one place. It meant one student in our school could get the offer without an examination.

Instead, he went full public with Molly—traveling, showing off, livestreaming their so-called "love." Felt like I was watching two totally separate plotlines from a cheesy drama. While they were toasting new deals and having candlelit dinners, I was in the lab, debugging robotics software. While they shopped and ate at influencer hotspots, I was knee-deep in wires, trying to fix a bot that wouldn't stop glitching. While they partied and got drunk, posting their "relationship goals" online and soaking up the likes, I hit a breakthrough—a whole new approach.

Edward collapsed on the spot in rage, and after that, there was no stopping her. One year later, my short-video platform had cleared the 100-million-user mark, so I rode the wave and rolled out livestream shopping. Capital rushed in the second they saw the potential, everyone scrambling for a slice. The factories and agricultural lines I worked with started booming on live streams. Even tourism changed as short videos took off. People stopped packing into big cities and started chasing trips out in nature instead. Around then, the vacation real estate project Jerome and Rosalie were running together blew up in their faces.

I calmly tucked away my acceptance letter from Northern Werewolf University. When I stepped into the villa, laughter floated out from the dining room. At the table, my parents and Tatiana were happily eating together. The moment I walked in, the warm atmosphere turned icy. I pretended not to notice. I no longer tried to force my way into their little circle as I did in my last life. I simply sat down and picked up the cutlery with quiet, practiced elegance. In my previous life, I worked tirelessly to catch up on the Alpha family's aristocratic etiquette, yet Tatiana's natural poise only made my awkwardness look like a joke.

When I stayed with him in a basement apartment and split a single bread roll between two meals, where was that darling heroine? When I sold the house my mother left me and my dowry to help him survive his crisis, where was she? Now that Preston Hale had become a billionaire CEO, she wanted to swoop in and reap what I'd sown? On what grounds? "Honey? Why are your hands so cold?" Preston lowered his head and rubbed my hands, his brows drawn together, his voice careful. But when I looked at his handsome face, I had only one thought. For another woman, he was going to push me into becoming a sleazy livestreamer.

And so began the romantic comedy story Ryan had created, rated PG and full of humor. The readers of "Living With the Five Billionaires" are unaware that the story is based on real life, except for those who know Ryan and the five leading men in the story. They also don't know that some of the scenarios in the story may be a bit exaggerated. For example, in Episode 15, Edward (Vincent) and Jules (Ryan) encounter Erban (Terban), blocking their path with a tense expression on his wrinkled face. "Where are you going? Why are you so dressed up?" Erban asked.

Tim and Sir Flinn are arguing about how to pronounce the word they saw in the dictionary, but later, they will found out both of them are wrong. “ Maybe. They could have all the money, all the fancy treasures, but they are still not happy. They want to find something that will worth their time and their remaining days. They just want to-"I paused and glanced at Miss Mia. “Feel alive.” I continued. I saw her half smile. “ This world is too noisy and busy. Too noisy that I couldn't hear my own thoughts and even my own footprints seems unfamiliar to me.” She gave me a tired look.

Faiz grinned, baring his fangs. “We will show them hell,” Salman said grimly. “You know what’s better than getting even with everyone?” Sikandar asked, “It’s living your life to the fullest in front of your haters. The haters just hate it!” Sikandar emphasized nodding his head. “You have done much for us,” Faizi said, “But you and the princess were raised with a silver spoon. We were tossed aside like trash by our parents, we scraped by on the streets until the princess gave us shelter. And even then, many in the royal staff mock us as unblessed servants of the unblessed princess.”
