At night, fewer people in the memorial hall.
Sam didn't rest.
She asked her assistant to set up fill lights, aiming at my coffin.
What for?
Soon I knew.
She opened TikTok, started a livestream.
Title: [Sending Lexi off on her final journey, organizing relics, all proceeds donated].
Just started, online viewers instantly broke one hundred thousand.
"Good evening family members, I'm Samantha."
She wore plain clothes, no makeup (actually put on scheming no-makeup makeup), voice hoarse.
"Lexi left too suddenly, left many things. I thought, can't let these gather dust, better share with fans who love her."
She took out a bag.
That was my favorite Hermès, limited edition.
"This is the bag Lexi loved most in life, original price twenty thousand, today in livestream, just for charity, starting bid five thousand!"
Bullet comments went crazy.
[I want it! This is Lexi's scent!]
[Sam is really too kind, thinking of charity at this time.]
Floating aside, I watched her take out my bags, jewelry, even my underwear, auctioning them one by one.
"Thank you 'Love Lexi Forever' for the big rocket!"
"Thank you Top 1 Brother!"
Joy couldn't be suppressed on Sam's face, though she tried hard to control it.
Money.
All money.
Even if I became a corpse, she wanted to dismantle my bones and suck my marrow, squeezing out the last bit of value.
"By the way, here is a special relic."
Sam mysteriously took out a small box.
Opened.
Inside was a diary.
My diary!
It recorded all my secrets, including my complaints about Sam, and records of me finding accounts suspicious!
Because of depression before death, my memory declined, I always wrote suspicions in the diary, but often forgot where I put it.
Didn't expect she found it.
"This is Lexi's diary." Sam sighed, "Actually Lexi's mental state wasn't good before death, often wrote some... nonsense."
What does she want to do?
She wants to read my diary in public?
"Do family members want to hear Lexi's inner world?" Sam stroked the diary cover.
Comments: [Want to hear!]
[Is there big tea?]
[Read quickly!]
"Then I'll read a random paragraph."
Sam turned a page, pretending surprised.
"Oh my, this page says... she said she actually always hated fans, felt fans are all leeks..."
Bullshit!
I didn't write that!
She made it up on the spot!
Comments exploded instantly.
[What? Lexi Lin is so disgusting?]
[Loss I even sent her gifts, turns out treating me as leek?]
[Good riddance! Such person!]
Sam's mouth corner raised imperceptibly.
"Sigh, everyone don't scold Lexi, she was sick too, brain not clear..."
She was about to turn the next page.
"This page says, she admitted she did dr..."
Drugs?!
She wants to rumor I did drugs?!
Once this hat is put on, even if dead I'll be nailed to the pillar of shame, even Luke will carry the title of "drug star family" for life!
"Sam! You shut up!"
I rushed over like crazy, wanting to grab the diary.
Still passed through.
I despaired.
Even being a ghost is so useless?
Just then, I suddenly felt a strong current.
Coming from that fill light.
I was angry, very angry.
This anger seemed to turn into a kind of energy.
Zzzzz—
The fill light suddenly flickered a few times.
Sam was startled: "What's going on?"
I looked at that bulb.
Only one thought in mind: Explode!
Bang!
Bulb exploded.
Glass shards scattered.
Livestream plunged into darkness.
Sam screamed: "Ah! My face!"
A glass shard cut her cheek, blood flowed out.
Chaos in livestream.
[WTF! Paranormal event?]
[Is Lexi manifesting?]
[Must be because she lied! Lexi angry!]
Watching Sam covering her face screaming, a thrill I never had surged in my heart.
Turns out, I can control electricity!
Although only a little bit, but enough.
Sam, the game has just begun.
