Chapter 136
"Emily, those recording earnings mean nothing to me." Daniel Chen clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "All I care about is whether you've been wronged."
The girl he cherished had been trampled on like this.
The past seven days had felt like an eternity.
He wanted to reach out to her but feared his messages would vanish into the void.
When she finally called, he nearly dropped his phone.
"You earn your living through talent. Who gave him the right to suppress you?" Daniel's voice trembled. "Breaking up wasn't enough—he had to cut off your livelihood too? What kind of twisted mentality is that?"
"Daniel, was it really William who took down my work?" Emily gripped the hem of her shirt.
After a pause, he nodded. "Not only did he remove your audiobooks, but he also blacklisted us. No platform will dare work with us now."
Her pupils constricted.
"To control you, he acquired Grasshopper Audiobook." Daniel let out a cold laugh. "Of course, it was a profitable deal for him."
Her fingertips turned icy. Her sister's medical bills were a bottomless pit.
She couldn't understand—what had she done to provoke William like this?
"Don't be afraid." Daniel suddenly took her hand. "There's always a way out."
"What way?" she pressed urgently.
"My friend is looking for voice actors for a game." His eyes brightened. "Your voice would be perfect."
"Really?" A spark of hope flickered in her eyes.
"You can audition tomorrow."
The next day, the audition went surprisingly well.
The studio owner signed her on the spot. The pay wasn't as much as before, but it would tide her over.
At lunch, she treated Daniel to a meal.
When ordering, she deliberately picked his favorites.
"You don't have to accommodate me." He smiled softly. "I love whatever you like."
Emily shook her head. "I like these too."
She had once dreamed of being a food streamer, but building an audience was tough.
"Seems we have similar tastes." His gaze was tender.
She excused herself to the restroom—only to bump into George Taylor and his group on the way.
