Billionaire Son

Chapter:35

Brentley lay on his bed, staring at his phone. He recalled how he had been unable to log into his account no matter what he tried, and now, someone was impersonating him.

This could only mean one thing: his account had been hacked.

But what puzzled Brentley was that his account had no money in it. Why would anyone bother hacking it?

"Could it be Young Master Jordan from Sunshire City?" Brentley wondered.

However, he quickly dismissed this thought. The hacker hadn't used Brentley's fame to promote other streamers.

From what Phoebe had told him, Young Master Jordan was the owner of a streaming company and wanted to sign Phoebe to his company. If he had hacked Brentley's account, he would have used it to promote his company's streamers.

But the hacker had only sent some gifts in Phoebe's live-stream and then logged off.

This left Brentley even more confused about the hacker's intentions. He spent a long time examining his phone, but found nothing. Phoebe had also ended her live-stream, so Brentley decided to turn off his phone and get some rest.

"Ding!"

Just then, his phone buzzed.

Brentley checked his phone and saw a voice message from Phoebe. He quickly opened it.

"Brentley, are you awake? I have some good news to share with you!" Phoebe's alluring voice filled the room.

"What is it? I haven't even gone to bed yet!" Brentley Carter quickly typed back.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Barely a minute had passed since Brentley sent his message when he heard a knock at the door. He hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door to find Phoebe standing there, dressed casually.

Maybe because she had just finished her live-stream, Phoebe was dressed very casually.

She looked less formal than she did on her stream, but somehow even more alluring. She wore a white off-shoulder T-shirt that was slightly see-through, hinting at the black lingerie underneath.

Her lower half was clad in a super short skirt, and her long, fair legs were adorned with pink slippers. She looked absolutely captivating.

"What’s got you so happy?" Brentley asked, momentarily stunned by her appearance before breaking into a smile.

Phoebe walked into Brentley's room without any hesitation and plopped herself down on his bed, grinning. "Guess what I have to tell you?"

"Did you win the lottery?" Brentley replied softly.

"A few days ago, a rich guy tipped me a few hundred thousand dollars during my stream. That's pretty much like winning the lottery, right?" Phoebe said, pouting.

"So, what is it you want to tell me?" Brentley asked, still puzzled.

"Oh, come on, take a serious guess! I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with my livestream!" Phoebe said, a bit annoyed that Brentley seemed to be brushing her off.

"Something to do with your livestream?"

Brentley frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's related to that rich guy from my live-stream!" Phoebe continued to remind him. Hearing Phoebe's words, Brentley suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly asked, "What exactly are you trying to tell me?"

"Ugh, why are you so dense? Fine, I'll just tell you straight out!"

Phoebe waved her little hand at Brentley and continued, "Do you remember that rich guy, 'Gone with the Wind,' who spent millions in my live-stream a few days ago?"

"Yes, I remember."

Brentley nodded lightly. After all, 'Gone with the Wind' was Brentley himself. How could he not remember?

"After that person spent so much money in my live-stream, I felt really guilty about it. So, I sent him a bunch of private messages, wanting to treat him to a meal. But 'Gone with the Wind' never responded to me. But today, he actually talked to me, can you believe it?" Phoebe shouted excitedly at Brentley.

Brentley froze in place, his face showing a look of surprise.

Because Brentley finally realized why someone would hack his account. It wasn't for the money in the account; it was for Phoebe!

"Why aren't you excited at all?"

Seeing Brentley's serious expression, Phoebe asked him softly.

"Why should I be excited about you finding 'Gone with the Wind'? He didn't spend any money on me!"

Brentley replied nonchalantly. At this moment, his mind was preoccupied with figuring out what the hacker's true intentions were, so he naturally had no mood to deal with Phoebe.

"Not only did 'Gone with the Wind' talk to me, but we also added each other on WeChat. I said I wanted to treat him to a meal, and he agreed right away!" Phoebe continued, looking at Brentley.

"You actually want to invite him to dinner?" Brentley asked, frowning.

"Yeah, why not? He's been sending me so many gifts these days. What's wrong with treating him to a meal?" Phoebe replied matter-of-factly.

"Have you ever thought that he might have other intentions towards you?" Brentley hesitated before gently reminding her.

"Other intentions towards me?" Phoebe was taken aback by his words. She bit her red lip softly and said, "Actually, I think if Gone with the Wind'' is willing to help me so much, he probably does have feelings for me. So, I plan to meet him tomorrow. If I find him acceptable, I wouldn't mind trying to date him."

Brentley felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing Phoebe's words. He never imagined that Phoebe would have such thoughts about 'Gone with the Wind' and even consider dating him.

What Phoebe didn't know was that the real 'Gone with the Wind' was right beside her, and the person she planned to meet tomorrow was an imposter. He had merely sent Phoebe some gifts tonight, worth at most a couple of thousand dollars, but it was enough to win her heart. It was a very profitable deal for him!

Although Brentley had never intended to reveal his true identity to Phoebe, the thought of someone impersonating him and possibly deceiving Phoebe made him suddenly want to come clean.

However, Brentley was also worried that even if he revealed his identity, would Phoebe believe that he was 'Gone with the Wind'? After all, in Phoebe's eyes, he was just a poor guy with nothing to his name.

"I wonder how old 'Gone with the Wind' is, if he's handsome or tall..."

At this moment, Phoebe had no idea what Brentley Carter was thinking. She was lost in her own daydreams about meeting "Gone with the Wind," her face full of anticipation.

"What if you go tomorrow and find out he's ugly and really old?" Brentley quickly asked.

"If he's really like you say, then I'll just give him back all his money. After all, he did send me so many gifts, and I definitely wouldn't want to keep them!" Phoebe said slowly.

Brentley's expression became even more exasperated upon hearing Phoebe's words. What Phoebe meant was very simple: if the guy was around her age and looked decent, she might consider being with him. But if he was old and unattractive, she would return the money.

But all that money was his and not from the imposter!

Although Brentley didn't care about the money, the thought of giving it away to a stranger made him very uncomfortable.

"Phoebe," Brentley took a deep breath and then spoke softly, "there's something I've never told you."

"What is it?" Phoebe asked, blinking her big, watery eyes as she noticed Brentley's serious expression.

"The truth is, I am 'Gone with the Wind.' All those gifts were from me."

Brentley revealed his identity directly.

Phoebe was stunned upon hearing this. She looked at Brentley with a very puzzled expression.
