After sending the message, Wynter realized she had a linked icon with Mr. Yarwood – a small pink
heart symbol that gradually lit up when she interacted with him.
Wynter’s fingers paused, wondering who had designed such an unnecessary icon.
Previously, the moderator had asked her whether she wanted to grant Mr. Yarwood a linked icon, and
she had agreed without much thought.
But now… this icon seemed a little awkward as she tried to negotiate with him.
Without hesitation, Wynter tapped the moderator’s account and sent:
“Anyone there? Please remove this icon for me.” She attached a screenshot.
The account instantly responded, but it was a bot. “Hi, streamer! How may I assist you?”
Wynter messaged the bot along with Dalton’s and her accounts. “Remove our linked icon.”
“Hi, streamer! Since you’re the only one with Emperor VIP Sir Yarwood’s defensive shield, the removal
of the icon needs to be initiated by him. Alternatively, you can talk to one of our customer service
representatives for further…”
Without further ado, Wynter responded, “Take me to them.”
“Hi, streamer! Our customer service team is currently experiencing huge traffic. You will need to wait in
line for 7 hours. Send ‘1‘ to continue waiting, or “2” to…”
Wynter immediately shut the chat, her beautiful expression tinged with irritation.
What a waste of time.
Since Mr. Yarwood hadn’t replied yet, Wynter made herself a cup of tea, her fingers playing with the
sugilite pendant, her demeanor was calm and aloof.
Meanwhile, Dalton was consumed with collaboration proposals, so he entrusted his phone to Franklin,
his new special assistant.
Usually, Franklin refrained from checking Dalton’s personal phone without permission. If a call came in,
he would have noticed, but private messages often went unnoticed.
Hence, by the time Dalton retrieved his phone, an hour had passed since Wynter sent the message.
Startled, he furrowed his brow slightly and cast a cold glance at Franklin. “From now on, Inform me
immediately whenever she messages me.”

Franklin was a little stunned. “Yes, Mr. Yarwood.”
Who was this streamer? The boss seemed to value her greatly.
Though curious, Franklin refrained from inquiring, he stood silently aside, watching Dalton fix his eyes
on the phone.
Dalton set down his diamond pen and tapped open the live streaming app. As if startled by something,
his eyes narrowed, and his fingertips hesitated momentarily.
If Franklin had stood a little closer, he might have noticed Dalton’s l*ps slightly curling into a smile,
accompanied by a barely audible chud
“What do you want to talk about? Dalton replied, waiting patiently with no immediate intent to resume
his work
As Dalton’s special assistant, Frankdin discerned his demeanor and promptly rescheduled the meeting,
which was originally scheduled for 15 minutes later, to after dinner.
However, Franklin was far froen calm
If he had seen it correctly, the app that Dalton had tapped open was the live streaming platform
operated by the internet company owned by their group.
And was that the Defensive Shield icon?
So their boss had personally rewarded a streamer with a Defensive Shield
Frankdin tried to remain calm, not showing any expression, while his hand had already
typed and sent a message to the internal meeting group chat:
“@Network Division Doris Yoder, please prepare the latest platform data and a detailed live streaming
operation plan for me”
Doris immediately replied: “Noted! I’ll prepare it right away, Mr. Lynch!”
