Chapter 16
Harper looked at the screen. The local news headline read: ‘Smith Family Faces Bankruptcy, Father Sells Daughter for
Business!‘
о
Mia shook her head, clicking her tongue twice:
“Tsk~ Tsk~ Serena’s father is brutal. After the Cooper family cut ties with the Smith family, several maya compete witting with them also withdrew investment. Now the Smith family is just an empty shell”
“Mr. Smith may lack ability, but he’s ruthless. To stabilize the family, he came up with the idea of selling his daughter, announcing a starting bid of one hundred thousand dollars, highest bidder takes all”
“I heard Serena tried to escape several times but was caught and brought back by her father each time.”
Harper lowered her eyes, her voice flat:
“Heaven sees all. Evil will be repaid with evil.”
She felt no pity for Serena.
The suffering she had endured because of Serena was far worse than what the desperate Serena was facing now.
If not for her luck, she might have ended up permanently hospitalized after the bone marrow donation.
Meanwhile, Finn still refused to give up.
To win Harper back, he created a livestream account, broadcasting daily from 9 to 11 AM.
The broadcast theme–Winning Back My Ex–Girlfriend.
When news spread that the Cooper Group CEO was livestreaming his pursuit, viewer numbers quickly reached 100,000.
Curious viewers who didn’t know the story wondered how the couple had separated.
To show sincerity, Finn honestly shared why Harper had left.
After learning the truth, the audience’s reaction was completely different from what Finn expected.
Few offered advice to help him; most sided with Harper.
“Honestly, I’m Team Harper. What Finn did–nobody could tolerate that.”
“Argh! Why am I watching this jerk’s stream first thing in the morning?!”
“This guy is delusional! She should stay far away from him!”
The comments section filled with criticism, making Finn’s face turn ashen, but he stubbornly finished the two–hour broadcast.

The next day, viewers eagerly awaited Finn’s stream.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Finn started, he directly stated that he would reward one million dollars for each good reconciliation suggestion.
Initially skeptical, viewers considered the Cooper family’s vast wealth and began offering advice.
“From what I see, you’ve hurt her deeply. You need to experience everything she went through to truly understand.”
“Right! Just punishing Serena isn’t enough. You were an accomplice too!”
“I think you need a formal apology–that’s a real apology.”
Finn carefully reviewed the suggestions, selecting five he found feasible…
For the next two weeks, Finn didn’t livestream.
Viewers initially thought Finn’s reconciliation attempt was just a passing whim, but after two weeks, Finn streamed again.
His appearance shocked his audience-
His head was wrapped in bandages, his face pale and bloodless, as if he had endured great suffering.
During his two–week absence, he had experienced every hardship Harper had endured.
After going through these ordeals, Finn was filled with remorse. Looking at the camera with reddened eyes, he said:
“I finally understand why Harper was determined to leave me…”
“I’m truly sorry for what I did to her…”
His actions earned admiration from viewers who had initially disapproved, though some remained skeptical.
“I have to say, Finn may be a super–rich CEO, but to hurt himself for his ex takes real guts. Respect!”
“Wealthy men are rarely faithful. One who can admit his mistakes is a good man. Harper should forgive him.”
“I disagree. I have insider info that Serena has done many terrible things over the years, and Finn always cleaned up after her. Meanwhile, Harper was caring for the disabled Finn. Basically, Finn has been two–timing for ages.”
The last comment quickly disappeared among thousands of others.
Some viewers began shipping Finn and Harper.
Finn continued streaming daily, with clips of him reminiscing about his time with Harper flooding social media.
Harper witnessed all this.
She hadn’t expected Finn would use public pressure to force her back.
So she created a new social media account.

The caption read:
“Working, loving, and looking forward to the future.”
