Free Web NovelChapter 75: Chapter 75: Giving You to Jude Redmond’s Brother
Hearing Renee Jennings’s words, Peach froze for two seconds, then her eyes widened in surprise. "Streamer, how did you know that?"
Wally dropped the phone he was holding in his mouth onto the floor and started whimpering again. "Please, please, save Peach!"
"I will," Renee Jennings said gently, looking at the frantic little Corgi. "Go on."
[What’s going on?]
[What kind of script is this?]
The number of viewers in the stream was growing, having already broken into the triple digits.
Over a thousand viewers were now listening to the little Corgi’s woofing.
But what Renee Jennings heard was the little Corgi’s choked and desperate plea for help.
"Skye is Peach’s bestie. She’s been staying at our house recently. Today, while Peach was at work, Skye brought her boyfriend, Jude Redmond, over."
"Jude said one of his buddies has his eye on Peach and wants to sleep with her. He said if Skye helps, his buddy will give them a lot of money."
"Skye said it would be easy. Tonight, she’ll pretend to be heartbroken over a breakup to get Peach drunk, then let his buddy have his way with Peach!"
The reason Wally was so frantic was that Peach’s ex-boyfriend had once tried to sleep with her, and when she refused, she had flown into a rage.
So some friend of Jude Redmond’s was absolutely out of the question!
After hearing Wally’s story, Renee Jennings could already piece together what was happening.
She frowned, her expression grave.
[What the hell is going on? Can someone explain?]
[What is that dog barking about?]
[I can’t believe I’m sitting here listening to a dog bark on a livestream...]
Peach picked her phone up off the floor and asked uncertainly, "Streamer, do you know Skye?"
Renee Jennings asked sternly, "Is she at your house right now?"
Peach shook her head. "No, she’s not off work yet."
Renee Jennings said, "Your friend is trying to harm you."
Peach let out a confused, "Huh?"
[LMAO, so it really is a script?]
[Livestreams have so many tricks these days. You can’t guard against them all!]
Renee Jennings ignored the comments scrolling across the screen and said in a cold voice, "She and her boyfriend, Jude Redmond, are plotting to use a fake breakup as an excuse to get you drunk tonight and hand you over to one of Jude’s friends."
Peach’s pupils contracted. She was utterly shocked.
’The streamer not only knows Skye, but she even knows her boyfriend is Jude Redmond!’
’But the last part was the most unbelievable.’
She forced a twitch of her lips. "You... you’ve got to be kidding me!"
[This plant is a pretty good actress!]
[Ooh, not a bad script, and the acting’s not bad either.]
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Peach turned her head toward the door.
Renee Jennings frowned. "Is that Skye coming back?"
Wally began to bark excitedly.
Listening to Wally’s barks, Peach felt a strange sense of unease. "No one else would be here at this hour."
Renee Jennings said, "It’s best if you don’t open the door."
"Wait, how would you know all this, streamer?" After a moment’s thought, Peach decided she would rather trust her friend. "Do you have some kind of grudge against Skye? Are you just making up lies about her?!"
This sent Wally into a panic. "Peach, Skye is really going to hurt you! The streamer is trying to help you!"
Renee Jennings: "..."
Seeing her silence, Wally barked desperately. "Save Peach, I’m begging you!"
Renee Jennings sighed and said slowly, "I don’t know Skye. Everything I’ve said is what Wally asked me to tell you."
"WOOF—" Wally stood on his hind legs, pawing at Peach’s body.
’That’s right, that’s right! Peach, you have to believe the streamer!’
[What? Did Wally say something? I didn’t hear anything.]
[Who wrote this script? They’re a genius!]
[It’s not a script! I believe the streamer!]
Peach also felt that Renee Jennings was just trying to grab attention.
When the doorbell rang again, she frowned. "That’s enough, streamer! I don’t want to hear any more of this!"
Hearing this, Renee Jennings struggled to remain calm. "Peach, there’s no harm in being cautious."
Michelle Fuller was also spamming the chat.
[Put on your headphones! Don’t disconnect!]
[If something really happens, we can call the police for you!]
Perhaps Peach was actually listening. She hesitated for a few seconds, then looked at Renee Jennings on the screen and said, "If Skye doesn’t have any of the intentions you mentioned, you have to apologize to her!"
Michelle Fuller got anxious and quickly typed: [This is all stuff your furry baby told the streamer! The streamer wouldn’t know if they changed their plans!]
When Renee Jennings saw Michelle Fuller’s comment, a flicker of a smile touched her eyes, and her heart filled with warmth.
She felt so lucky to have awakened her ability just in time, before any disaster could strike.
Her parents were by her side, and her best friend was safe and sound.
Renee Jennings wanted to pass this good fortune on.
She looked at Peach and nodded solemnly. "Alright. If Skye doesn’t use a breakup as an excuse to get you to drink with her, I will apologize to you, and I’ll apologize to her as well."
As soon as Renee Jennings finished speaking, Wally barked excitedly. "Streamer, thank you! You’re a good person!"
[This script really knows how to get us hooked! Sharing with my friends so they can watch this drama unfold~]
[It’s a shame this acting talent isn’t in showbiz.]
The number of viewers in the stream broke two thousand, then quickly jumped to three thousand, and then four thousand.
Peach took out a pair of headphones, connected them via Bluetooth, and walked across the living room to the door, phone in hand.
She pulled open the door, only to hear Skye complaining, "What were you doing? What took you so long?"
"I was just in the bathroom," Peach said, making an excuse.
Skye changed her shoes and walked into the living room, carrying a bag.
Peach stared at the bag, a bad feeling suddenly rising within her. She asked hesitantly, "Skye, what did you buy?"
Skye sat down on the sofa, her eyes red-rimmed. She choked out, "Peach, Jude and I... we broke up..."
Hearing this, Peach’s heart skipped a beat. Her eyes flew open as she stared at her friend in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly. "You... you broke up?"
"See? Even you’re this shocked!" Skye covered her face, her shoulders trembling. "I never thought Jude would break up with me. He said... he said he fell in love with someone else..."
Skye sobbed, "I feel so awful. Peach, will you have a drink with me? Please?"
As she spoke, she reached out and opened the bag on the coffee table. Inside were ten 500ml cans of beer.
Peach froze on the spot, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning.
[Skye is going to get Peach drunk, and next Jude is going to show up with his friend!] freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
[This is amazing! I can’t believe even short-form dramas are so competitive they’re doing livestreams now.]
[Honestly, both of these girls are pretty good actors. I’m surprised they’re not breaking character and laughing.]
"Peach?" Seeing her friend remain silent for so long, a look of confusion appeared in Skye’s eyes. "What’s wrong?"
When she saw Skye reaching for her hand, Peach quickly backed away. Looking at her friend, her heart instantly plummeted to rock bottom, chilled to the bone.
"I... I need to use the bathroom," she said, turning and rushing into the en-suite bathroom in her room.
Peach stared at Renee Jennings on the screen, her eyes filled with sorrow and lingering fear. "Streamer, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have doubted you."
"It’s okay. What’s your plan now?" Renee Jennings asked softly.
Peach’s face was a mask of confusion and helplessness. "I... I don’t know."
Renee Jennings said earnestly, "Would you like to hear my suggestion?"
