[No pics, no proof. Sounds like you’re just making stuff up for attention.]

Rhett was getting anxious, trying to figure out how to explain himself, when suddenly things turned.
Someone dropped a short video link in the comments. The title was eye–catching, [Confirmed! Full clip of Elizabeth blacklisting a troll at Mercury Plaza. Clip from Viola’s livestream.]
Because of the angle, you couldn’t clearly see Rhett or Elizabeth’s faces, but it perfectly recorded her refusing to sell him the strawberries.
Elizabeth’s line was also loud and clear, “Because you attacked the owner of Tycoon Farm for no reason, I have the right to put you on the blacklist.”
The clip hit like a spark in hot oil.
All the keyboard warriors, professional haters, and internet trolls—the ones who hated Elizabeth for no reason, the ones being paid to post, and the ones who just liked being mean- finally had a reason to team up against a common enemy.
[Holy crap! She actually did it?! That arrogant?!]
[Doesn’t she know what kind of trash she’s done herself? Now people can’t even talk about it?]
[Stuff grown on a Garbage Planet, and she’s acting like it’s some miracle product? Now she’s blacklisting people? What a joke.]
[Threats! Straight–up threat! She thinks she can use her crappy potatoes and sweet potatoes to shut us up?]
[Who even wants her dirty stuff? I wouldn’t take it for free!]
[If she doesn’t want us to talk, we’ll talk even more! We’ll talk until she goes out of business!]
[Exactly! A trashy girl who used dirty tricks to get into someone’s bed has no right to act all high and mighty.]
[If she’s that desperate for men, why is she selling vegetables? She should just work the red light district. It fits her skills better. The money’s faster too! Haha!]
[You’re right! Who knows what ‘special ingredients‘ are in her food? If you eat it, you’ll probably end up like the guy she drugged–mindless and easy to control!]
[Boycott! We should all boycott this shady, disgusting business that bullies people online!]

The nasty comments flooded in like dirty water after a dam broke, quickly taking over the entire comment section and spreading to other related topics.
They all teamed up, twisting Elizabeth’s blacklist into proof that she had a guilty conscience, was taking revenge, and was trying to control public opinion. Using that as an excuse, they poured out even nastier insults and personal attacks.
It was like they were using this collective, anonymous verbal abuse to give themselves a fake sense of justice and power.
Rhett watched the comments fly by and the numbers climb. He felt a twisted sense of satisfaction that finally drowned out his embarrassment.
See? All these people are on my side, helping me take down that hateful woman!
He liked the meanest comments and even replied to a few, adding more fuel to the fire.
But once he pulled away from Starnet and came back to reality, he couldn’t stop thinking about that strawberry.
He could still remember the sweet, tart juice and that clean comfort that had cleared his head right after.
No matter how much hate he posted online, it didn’t change the fact that he had tasted it, and his body knew it was good.
Instead of fading, that craving only got stronger because he knew he couldn’t have it.
“Dammit…” he muttered, not even sure if he was cursing Elizabeth or himself.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
He was blacklisted, but his dad, mom, and younger brother weren’t!
Whenever he’d tried to talk to them about Starnet drama before, they couldn’t have cared less, so there’s no way they’d be posting anything bad online.
Next time she sets up her stall again, I’ll just have them go instead!
The afternoon sun filtered through the thick, bulletproof glass and onto the expensive carpet, but it couldn’t warm up the freezing atmosphere in the room.
The air felt like a battlefield.
