Chapter 19
Jordan completely lost his patience when he heard Tanya disparage Madison like that.
Madison was someone Jordan deemed worthy of his respect, and she practically saved his family. He wouldn't allow anyone to belittle or even look down on Madison in any way.
"What do you mean she's just doing it for fun, Mrs. Locke? Have you watched her livestreams? You're already drawing conclusions even before watching them."
He put one hand on his waist and said fiercely, "Last night, Ms. Madison caught a member of a human trafficking syndicate and prevented a mother and her daughter from being separated through her livestream.
"Did you all not see the news? Ms. Madison's livestream is on today's local news! They are even giving her a Model Citizen Award for this. None of you saw this?"
The Lockes were all shocked.
Madison was even more surprised than them. "I didn't know about that!"
Jordan's expression changed instantly as he turned his eyes to her. He grinned. "I got the information about the Model Citizen Award from one of my father's connections. It's still not made public yet. The officials will probably contact you today or tomorrow.
"You were amazing, Ms. Madison! You probably didn't know, but that man was a wanted criminal that the police had been trying to track down for over ten years.
"He kidnapped and sold more than 30 children in the past 15 years. Now that he's caught, they'll be able to locate those children he sold off. The families of those children will have hope of reuniting with their loved ones."
Upon hearing that, Madison tried to detect the spiritual energy in her body. She could tell that everything Jordan said was true since her spiritual energy had increased considerably.
Since she had insufficient spiritual energy before, Madison could only learn from the man's physiognomy that he was a cruel and violent person. Unfortunately, she couldn't confirm what evil deeds he had done. It turned out that the man was a long-time child abductor and human trafficker.
While Madison and Jordan were talking, the Lockes took out their phones. As they checked the news, they instantly saw the number one trending topic online.
"A Streamer Catches a Human Trafficker Who's Been on the Run for 15 Years on a Live Broadcast."
"A Grandmother Sells off Her Granddaughter."
"The Latest Updates on the Riverview Authorities Arresting a Human Trafficker."
The top five articles trending online were all related to Madison's livestream.
The number one article had a detailed description of the entire incident. They even edited clips from Madison's livestream to give everyone a complete overview of the incident.
The Riverview authorities had also released an official statement stating that the criminal caught last night was Nick, who was a wanted man.
Although the police didn't go too much into the details, they did make it clear that they had rushed to the scene after receiving a call from the streamer.
Harvey was the first to finish looking at the news, and he was convinced that Jordan was telling them the truth. Just as he was about to say something, Rebecca came into the dining room.
She said proudly, "Mom! Dad! Harvey! I helped farmers living in secluded mountain areas sell their products on my livestream yesterday. News of what I did is trending online now!"
Rebecca turned on her phone happily. As she scrolled through the articles, her expression slowly changed.
"When I checked earlier, the article about me was still the tenth most searched news online. How come I'm only on the 20th spot now?
"What's with this streamer? Why has she taken up all the top spots? Is no one going to do something about this? How can they let some streamer use money to buy up all the top spots of the most searched news and articles?"
She put away her phone indignantly and said pleadingly, "Harvey, you must find out who that streamer is and help me get revenge!
"I finally managed to have an article in the list of the top ten most trending news online. Yet, I lost my ranking because of her."
Rebecca clung to Harvey's arm. She was completely sure he would agree to her request. Harvey would always agree to these requests from her without any hesitation.
"No."
Rebecca was cursing at the streamer inwardly when she heard Harvey's stern refusal.
"Harvey!" Rebecca seemed hurt as she pulled her hands away. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You don't love me or spoil me like you used to anymore. Is it because I'm not your real sister?"
