Chapter 12
Grace sensed Laura’s resistance and earnestly lied, “Laura is currently undergoing a DNA test with her grandparents, It’s very likely that her grandma and grandpa will come to pick her up. So please turn off your livestream quickly. If you have any questions, we can discuss them outside, away from the child.”
The live streamers smirked, their expressions mocking.
A man stepped forward and forcefully pushed Grace aside!
Caught off guard, she fell out of the camera’s frame.
Laura was immediately surrounded, her escape blocked.
She recoiled in fear. “Don’t come near me!”
But the male live streamer smirked as he appraised her, making her uncomfortable. “Lala, you’re truly beautiful. Are you still an orphan? Will your family come to get you at all?
Another female live streamer got close to Laura, holding up her phone. “Lala, in our family, you’ll have an older brother and an older sister. If you come to us, you’ll be the youngest child in our family. I will definitely dote on you! Do you know that a famous director has taken an interest in you? You could become a big star in the future! I will take care of you and be by your side as you grow into a child star. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
A man pushed the woman aside, looking disdainful. “You’re shameless for saying that. Are you even genuinely interested in adopting Laura? Or are you just after her potential earnings? You’re turning her into a child star and your personal cash cow, right?”
He aimed his phone at Laura, speaking firmly. “Laura, let me tell you, if you choose me, I will wholeheartedly cherish you as my own daughter. I’ve learned a lot about this and know that only those who can’t conceive can adopt. You’ll soon become my daughter!”
But for all their words, they didn’t really see her. They were only looking into their phones, and their gazes didn’t even fall on her real face.
Other live streamers got unhappy and retorted at the man, “Hey, what do you mean by ‘your daughter‘? We’re here too! You can’t make us leave empty–handed, right? We want to adopt her as
well!”
“Don’t bother fighting with me for her. My family’s situation is
the best. I can afford to take care of her. She’s going to become an artist in the future! I can provide piano and dance lessons for her, Can any of you do that?”
They argued more and more loudly, and even resorted to physical violence!
Laura watched in shock, her understanding growing clearer.

Chapter 12
These people weren’t here to genuinely adopt her.
They didn’t truly want to be her mom and dad!
“I don’t want this!” she thought.
Grace was trapped outside and couldn’t get in. “Stop it! Don’t make a scene. Adoption of a child has strict regulations, and she’s not something you can just take away like this. Please leave now! You’re scaring the child!”
The adults ignored her, continuously thrusting their phones toward Laura. “Laura, listen to me! Choose me! In my house, though there’s an older boy, but don’t worry. I’ve always wanted a second child. As long as you come to my house, I’ll teach you everything. Piano, dance… I can give you. lessons for everything a girl can learn. You could become a big star and make a lot of money!”
The female live streamer pushed him aside. “You’re utterly shameless! Look at me, Lala. I’m so beautiful. My family is wealthy, and I have a house and cars. Even when you’re working, I will personally be with you. Choose me! I genuinely care for you!”
“No, no, no! Choose me! Choose me!”
Laura was trapped in the middle, her face pale. She looked at these sinister faces, her eyes wide. with fear. In a faint voice, she asked, “Are you adopting me for money?”
