After severing ties with Jack's family,Jack didn't return immediately.He simply said he'd been transferred for work and couldn't come back yet.I knew this was partly true,but mostly,he probably avoided returning out of fear that facing them might soften his resolve.
In his absence,I set my plan into motion.The moment I was reborn,I began collecting Rose's expenses over the past year,especially those related to her idol.I exposed,under the guise of a fan from a rival group,that the blogger"Mia in Trouble"bore a striking resemblance to the extreme fan support organizer of the idol Green's fan base.
The incident of that idol already had a high level of online attention.When it was brought up again in connection with the recently popular blogger,marketing accounts quickly jumped on the bandwagon.At first,the persona Rose built in the super topic was that of a wealthy woman with plenty of spare cash.Now,this was in sharp contrast to Mia,who was crying poverty.
A new round of cyberbullying against Rose began.Her personal information was completely dug up,including details of when my father-in-law cheated and their divorce.Finally,it was revealed that the compensation money Mia cried about losing in her live-streams had actually been spent by Rose on star-chasing.
As a result,I received some concerned inquiries from acquaintances.And my company's exposure also increased,attracting a lot of foreign investment.My supervisor,feeling guilty,assigned me a major project in a neighboring city.One reason was to let me change the environment and relax,and the other was to give me a promotion and a raise in a roundabout way.
Mia's reputation was completely ruined.No matter how much she tried to play the victim in her live-streams later,no one fell for it.She even called to accuse me of being behind the exposure.Of course,I couldn't admit it.
I could only say coldly,"If I had exposed it,why would I give you the chance to hurt me?I'm not a masochist.Besides,you're Jack's only sister.No matter what,we wouldn't take the initiative to harm you."
"Then who was it?Who was it!"
"I told you a long time ago that the Internet is a double-edged sword. Once someone catches your handle,it's easy to have your reputation ruined..."
"Then what should I do?"
Mia sobbed,but it didn't stir any compassion in me.There was nothing she could do about it now.
After Mia's downfall,netizens summed up the whole series of events as the fault of one family.The state stepped in to rectify the entertainment industry,calling on everyone to pursue stars rationally and spend more time on their own families.The idol Green,who was already in the midst of public opinion,was supposed to lie low,but being brought up again this time caused his public image to plummet.After comprehensive consideration,the famous director decided that casting him was too risky and cancelled his role in the production.
Extreme fans,outraged by this development,turned their anger toward Rose and Mia,blaming them for everything.Rose's devices were hacked,and wherever she went,people stared at her with disdain.Her children despised her,leaving her with nowhere to turn.In desperation,she sought refuge with us.
But I wasn't there anymore.Due to the company transfer,I had been dispatched to the neighboring city.And Jack,who had gone abroad mainly because he was worried about Lucy and thought there was an opportunity there,was now so heartbroken that he didn't even keep up with domestic things.If I hadn't told him,he wouldn't have known about all these things.As a result,Rose was now isolated and could only cling to Mia.
But by this time,Mia was also physically and mentally exhausted from Lucy's illness.After being reported,except for the$30,000 she cashed out early on,she got nothing from her online fundraising efforts.
Facing Rose's sobs,she said coldly,"Mom,it's all your fault.It's all because of you!"
Mia now deeply regretted her actions.If she had been honest from the start or hadn't incited netizens to cyberbully me,she might have been able to raise enough money for Lucy's treatment through her hard work.But there was no such thing as a time machine.
At this point,Mia finally repented and tearfully pleaded for forgiveness from me,Jack,and all our relatives.Some relatives,who had watched Mia grow up,felt sorry for her and offered some money.But she actually complained,"I heard your house was recently demolished.Why are you giving so little?"
Their goodwill met with ingratitude,the other hesitant relatives quickly withdrew their support and criticized her online.People had previously doubted her ungrateful nature,but seeing her behavior firsthand explained why Jack and I had distanced ourselves from her.
With Mia's self-destructive actions,Lucy finally passed away due to insufficient medical funds.
