He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 90

Zara was meticulously reviewing her wedding itinerary. Even though Julian Sterling had never shown up or shown any interest in the wedding, it was still a reflection of the Sterling family's prestige. As his future wife, she needed to ensure everything was flawless.

She was holding a stack of floral arrangements when Zoe's message popped up on her screen. She paused for a few seconds, but since she wasn't the type to pry into other people's gossip, she simply locked her phone.

She went back to reviewing the schedule.

She had even bought the wedding bands herself, correctly assuming Julian hadn't bothered to prepare any.

Her screen lit up again. This time, it was a barrage of tabloid push notifications.

"Sterling Heir Spotted Leaving Nightclub with Supermodel."

"Julian Sterling Drops Millions on Luxury Yacht for Mystery Lover."

"Julian Sterling Admits to Pre-Wedding Wild Streak."

The relentless notifications practically flooded her screen.

She knew exactly who Julian was. He was the most notorious playboy in the city. Young, rich, and ridiculously good-looking, women threw themselves at him constantly.

Even though he openly admitted his flings had a three-month expiration date, women still fought tooth and nail just for a chance with him.

This was the man she was supposed to marry.

Zara stared at the screen for a moment before turning it off. She couldn't care less.

Julian Sterling wasn't the kind of man she wanted anyway.

Juniper rested in the hospital for two days. During that time, the studio successfully ran two livestreams. Thanks to the massive draw from Zara's discounted jewelry, their viewer count spiked to tens of thousands. With so many people fighting over the items, the hosts had to implement a flash-sale protocol.

They would introduce the piece and its price, then shout a random keyword. The first person to type the keyword in the chat won the right to buy it.

With hundreds of people fighting over a single necklace, it was the only fair way to determine the buyer.

This tactic caused their engagement metrics to skyrocket, stabilizing both streams at over ten thousand concurrent viewers.
