In the live stream chat, viewers were stirred.

“I can't help crying. Ruby's such a loving mother," one commented.

“Has Lilah lost all humanity? She's not only taken Mr. Harris but also Ruby's baby," another commented.

"Team Ruby! Bring her child home!"

“The kid deserves better. I fear for the little one if left with Lilah. Can she genuinely care for a child not hers?"

"Unbelievable. Lilah and Gerard prey on Ruby at her lowest.

Despicable," an angry viewer typed.

Lilah, with steely conviction in her voice, retorted, "Your baby?

Dream on. I'll never hand him over."

Her eyes, cold and disdainful, bore into Ruby. Ruby shifted, recalling a time when those eyes held warmth for her.

“Why are you doing this? One day, you'll have your own child. Please, return Jerrold to me." Her voice quivered, tears streaming.

Viewers watching were further inflamed against Lilah, many seeing Gerard in a new, harsher Light.

"Let's shake up the Harris Group. Their board can't ignore this!" one suggested.

“Hit them where it hurts. Boycott their products. Show these elites they need us!" another proposed.

As the viewer count hit a million, the agent's smirk grew wider, basking in the surge of attention.

Ruby's newfound attention meant her future in the spotlight was secured, even without the wealth of a prosperous family.

On the other hand, Lilah and Gerard, they'd be scorned every time they stepped out.

Everyone would think of Ruby's plight.

With this trajectory, Ruby's stardom seemed destined to shine even brighter.

The agent reveled in these thoughts, but his happiness was cut short by Lilah's mocking tone. “All this charade, Ruby. You truly believe Jerrold's yours?"

Ruby felt a heavy weight in her chest but held onto the hope they'd never uncover her secret.

She assumed Lilah was merely trying to sever her ties with Jerrold.

"You can't mean that, Lilah. I gave birth to him. Are you trying to tear us apart now?"

Lilah smirked. "Oh? What about this?"
