“She looks like a student. Do students have such bad tempers these days?”
“Exactly, it’s too much. No basic decency or respect for elders!”
...
Michelle jumped in to defend Elena. “What are you talking about! It was clearly that woman who tried to hit her first! It had nothing to do with us!”
“Look, still unrepentant! People like this shouldn’t be here!”
“I’m going to expose this online!”
Someone took out their phone to record.
Elena pulled Michelle. “Let’s go.”
“Stop! You think you can leave without apologizing? Do you have any morals?” Someone blocked Elena’s path.
“Sorry, you just said I have no morals, so I guess I don’t. Since I don’t have any, why should I apologize?” Elena replied coldly.
The crowd: “...” They couldn’t refute that logic.
Elena grabbed Michelle, pushed past the person blocking them, and left.
“That’s outrageous! I’m definitely posting this!”
“Find out who hired her. Someone like that should be fired! Don't let her stay here!”
“Right, no class at all!”
Elena and Michelle left the TV station. Michelle was fuming.
“Elena, it wasn’t your fault at all. They attacked you like that, it’s hateful! We should have argued with them!”
“Would it help? You have one mouth; they have ten. You can’t win.”
If Melissa wanted to be famous, let her be famous for a few days.
The next day.
Elena went to school. Her professor looked at her with disappointment.
“Hmph! Too much! Elena, they’re all mocking you!” Michelle complained indignantly.
“It’s fine,” Elena said calmly.
Let them be popular for a few more days.
The higher people are lifted, the harder they fall.
When the first episode of *Everyday Stardom* aired that day, William already ranked first in popularity! Aside from his own cutesy act, the incident with Melissa brought him massive traffic. The agency had crafted a 'pitiful victim' narrative for William and his mother.
The story was that William was a fallen rich kid, bankrupt and now bullied by former acquaintances. The public’s sympathy surged, and everyone started cheering for William.
...
Overseas, Dylan had just about finished his negotiations.
He received a call from Caleb.
