The buzz was palpable as everyone had their two cents to add.
Lilith's follower count was through the roof and she was over the moon. She decided to pull Ritchie into the mix, inviting him to join her livestreams.
Ritchie might not have been a genius, but he was street-smart enough to suggest a 60-40 profit split in his favor for co-hosting Lilith's streams, capitalizing on Avery's fame. With limited options, Lilith acquiesced.
Perla was hell-bent on kicking Lilith out. As soon as Lilith ended her livestream, Perla confronted her with a snarl, "Let me tell you something, if you want to stay in this house, you're going to start pulling your weight. You'll do the laundry, cook the meals, or you can pack your bags and leave." Lilith wasn't one to be pushed around, "Mom, I'm living in my husband's house, not yours. We might as well live separately. You do your thing, and I'll do mine, and we'll keep out of each other's way."
Perla huffed, "Marrying into our family means you take care of your in-laws. If you can't handle that, get lost. With Ritchie's prospects, he won't have any trouble finding another wife."
Lilith clenched her teeth. She knew that now everyone was aware Ritchie was Avery's cousin, and there would be plenty of little influencers trying to seduce Ritchie and steal her thunder. For now, she had to bide her time and focus on gaining fame.
"I'll cook and do the laundry, but that's it. I've got my livestreams to do. I'm busy."
Ritchie flopped onto the couch, grabbing his phone to play some games, "Fine, you don't have to do anything else. Just get cooking. I'm starving."
Avery's latest show had just wrapped up, and he was planning to take a short break before starting the promotion for a new series airing next week.
Leah, Avery's chief assistant and head of the studio, caught wind of the news about Lilith and Ritchie and couldn't help but worry about the potential impact on Avery.
"Avery, Lilith's riding your coattails and her followers are skyrocketing. Some companies will definitely want to sign them. Why not bring them under Serenity Films' subsidiary, Serenity Media Solutions? That way, we can keep a close eye on them."
Avery nodded, "Have Mr. Bright from Serenity Media Solutions get in touch with them."
