As soon as the police left, Linda glared at me furiously.
“Look at this! Are you complaining that you don't have enough scandals already?”
Her phone screen showed my trending hashtag:
#Shocking: Chloe Fakes Suicide and Files False Police Report After Being Blocked by Liam#
Below were the netizens’ comments.
9,999 hate comments.
Linda looked at me with immense frustration: “Do you even want to survive in Hollywood anymore?”
Me: “Whatever works.”
She fell silent for a long time, finally covering her face.
“Forget it. Let it all burn.”
“You have a reality TV show tomorrow. Sophia and Liam will be there too. You went viral today, so your live-stream viewership tomorrow is going to be massive.”
“Watch yourself when the time comes. But whatever you do, you’ll get hate anyway. Just… eat more, sleep more, and talk less. You’re not smart, and your emotional intelligence is low.”
If it were anyone else, they would have been furious.
I obediently nodded: “Okay.”
This is our capybara nature: eat more, sleep more, talk less. Hmm, though "not smart" and "low emotional intelligence" was definitely a hate comment.
I chose to ignore it.
