Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161

As soon as the livestream broadcast began, netizens began to call Madeline out using names such as ‘Ungrateful Madeline’, even before Bruno had a chance to say anything. Viewership had reached an all-time high. Bruno was extremely pleased as he watched the viewer counter increase by the second. He immersed himself fully in the role, getting Kingsley to act as his caretaker who supported as he got out of the hospital bed and limped to a nearby chair and made sure it was captured on camera.

The broadcast vividly painted the narrative of a father who was abandoned by his own daughter ever since she married into a wealthy family. However sad the father was, he insisted on making a living on his own. As expected, these netizens fell for Bruno’s story and there was a tremendous outpour of love and support for him from netizens all over Imperia. Behind the scenes, he had already arranged for the livestream team to display a range of products on the viewer’s screen as they watched the livestream.

The interviewer would initially start off with a friendly introduction, before diving into the hot questions that was on everyone’s mind. In Bruno’s case, Shawn eventually broached the ‘abandoned father’ topic. As Bruno shared his distressing experience live, netizens grew more and more invested in his story, their eyes glued to their screens. At this moment, Bruno would introduce their first product of the day, a late-night eye cream retailing for only $19.90.

As Bruno introduced the eye cream, he even told a little story about how he had handpicked and tested the product himself before he introduced it to the market. He hoped his daughter was watching the livestream and would purchase one for herself as well. The netizens ate all of this up hungrily, enraptured by the story of a father’s unconditional love for his daughter and angered by said daughter’s ungratefulness.

Touched by Bruno’s story, many netizens decided to lend their support to him monetarily by purchasing one of these eye creams. Many of them had decided to buy the cream when they heard that Bruno had picked this out for his daughter, figuring that a product used by someone like Madeline Grant must be of premium quality. At such an affordable price point, it was like doing some charitable work!

Within ten minutes, five thousand units of eye cream had been snapped up and sold out. Bruno could barely contain his excitement as he watched the sales numbers jump in front of his eyes. This was his chance of redeeming himself after so long!

“Everyone, I thank you for all your support, but please think before you purchase to avoid any unnecessary wastage and overspending,” he advised his viewers, going for a friendly, fatherly vibe before promoting the second product in line. He knew how primitive and irrational herd mentality was; the more he asked them not to buy something, the more they would fight for it.

As soon as he spoke, several netizens spoke up in support of him again. “We’re here to lend you our full support today, Mr. Grant! Being a father isn’t easy, so we’ll buy anything you sell!” one comment wrote. Livestream traffic gradually began to pick up once more. Bruno was on the verge of tears. How had he not known that these keyboard warriors sitting at home were so willing to give him their hard-earned money, even when they struggled to make ends meet?! He laughed to himself internally as he thought about how silly these commoners were, but he made sure to put on a good show for everyone regardless. Here comes the second product of the day…

Bruno Grant’s livestream quickly became a trending topic on all of Imperia’s major social media platforms. The hashtag #MadelineIngrate became the top hashtag in less than an hour since the livestream began.

Madeline and Dr. Dylan Felch were catching up on the drama in the comfort of Madeline’s living room.

“Madeline, aren’t you the least bit angry getting cursed and scolded by online strangers?” Dylan asked her curiously, eyeing her for any signs of upset or distress. Dylan had actually dropped by the villa early in the morning to give Madeline a tracker that would monitor her heart rate, blood pressure and other vitals on the go. Dylan would be able to track these vitals through his phone at any time too. Truthfully, he was still worried for Madeline since he had yet to identify the drug coursing through her bloodstream at present. Even when he went back to his lab at Golden Dome, he was still losing sleep over it, so he decided to do what he could for now. Unfortunately, Noah was not around as he had to rush to the office early this morning.

“Of course I’m angry! So angry!” Madeline replied in the most relaxed manner, double tapping her phone screen to give an online troll’s comment a like. She even spammed a flurry of smiley emojis on the livestream. One by one, netizens began to notice her online username, @MadelineGrant.

“You know I can track your heart rate through this tracker, right? Don’t lie to me, Madeline. Your heart rate barely even spiked…” Dylan muttered.

Madeline chuckled lightheartedly. Before she could reply to Dylan, her phone buzzed vigorously, indicating a flood of incoming notifications. It seemed like the netizens were having a field day today! Each and every single notification that came through was a rude comment that scolded or cursed at her. Madeline, however, was completely unaffected by the mean comments. Instead, she opened up her chat with Albert and began typing.
