Chapter 7
Life abroad was simple yet fulfilling.
The only downside was probably how quiet it was.
Whenever I missed home, I would open the live stream platform.
Unexpectedly, I came across a familiar face that day.
“Everyone, don’t miss out, 9.99 with free shipping!”
It was Cheryl, live streaming and selling products!
Since getting together with Caden, Cheryl had been living a high- society life.
Her usual live streams were just a glimpse into her life as a socialite; she rarely sold products.
But now, not only was she live streaming again, but sitting next to her was Caden!
The stream was titled “First live stream of the Heir from a Prestigious Family,” and soon, a crowd of young women flooded in.
After all, Caden still had some fame in Los Angeles.
But even the thick filters in the live stream couldn’t hide his weariness.
He looked uncomfortable in front of the camera.
Cheryl nudged him with her elbow from time to time, and only then

did he manage to mumble a few words in a voice barely louder than a whisper.
The comments in the live stream kept flooding in.
“Mr. Parrish, smile!”
“Who are you trying to impress with that sad face? Don’t you want people to place orders?”
“Seriously, making a sour face and still trying to sell stuff? Who’s letting you get away with that!”
The comments became harsh, and Caden’s expression became darker.
I couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
I never thought the great Caden would end up in such a situation.
I heard from a friend that after the last private party, Caden had disappeared from the high–society circles.
His company’s products also quickly started to stagnate in sales.
My mom called to gossip. “I’m so glad you woke up in time! Who would have guessed he’d force his own mother to remarry just to save his company?
“What kind of person would do something like that!”
Caden’s father and my father had built their business together, but sadly, he passed away too early.
After his death, my father had always looked after his family.

The arrangement of my engagement to Caden was partly because of
that.
Raising Caden alone was no easy task for Mia, and keeping the family’s wealth intact was even more challenging.
If it weren’t for Caden’s skills, the Parrish family name would have already vanished from Los Angeles.
“That Cheryl is
SO
greedy!” my mom said, clearly upset.
“Not only did she have Caden transfer some properties into her name, but even as the Parrish family was falling, she still lived extravagantly, only wearing high–end couture!
“With the Parrish family’s current finances, how could they afford that?
“Now, Caden’s even targeting his own mother!”
I snapped out of my thoughts, seeing how hard Cheryl was working, I couldn’t help but send a rocket to her live stream.
Cheryl, thrilled, shouted in a sharp tone. “Big thanks to Caden’s little sidekick for the rocket!”
The moment those words were spoken, Caden suddenly looked up, his face turning pale with anger and shock.
He must have realized it was me.
I regretted it a bit, realizing I had forgotten to change the name on this account, which I created years ago.
Well, let him feel embarrassed!
