Chapter 1

It was Christmas, and I bought a bunch of cookies from the live stream endorsed by a famous actress.

I posted a comment: 【These cookies are delicious! Can a seventy-year-old grandma eat them?】

To my surprise, the actress, Brittany Blackwood, somehow picked my comment out of the furiously scrolling feed. She rolled her eyes dramatically:

【Buying for your grandparents? Seriously, don't insult my cookies, okay?】

I was so furious, I unleashed a torrent of comments:

【Oh, a celebrity, huh? Big deal! Mocking someone’s elders, have you no shame?!】

I went viral overnight, and the actress was blasted and topped the trending list.

Soon after, one of Brittany Blackwood’s extreme fans stabbed me to death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of that live stream.

【My dearest, you're so gorgeous and your voice is like an angel! Just a few more words and my ears will be pregnant!】

【Dearest, you work so hard, please rest!】

【When are you updating with new photos, dearest!】

The comments on my phone scrolled by furiously.

On the screen, the exquisitely made-up actress, Brittany Blackwood, sat perched on her seat.

It was her usual 'good side' – always the right cheek for the camera, with a strategically styled hairstyle that always hid half her face.

If there were no gifts in the comments, she'd pout impatiently, only cracking a smile when one appeared.

In a fake sweet voice, she clasped her hands to her chest: "Thank you for all your support, meow meow!"

The comments section instantly went wild.

The sharp pain of the knife tearing into my body still lingered.

I hadn't fully recovered my wits, but the image of the woman before me was incredibly clear.

My mind went blank, but my body remembered the past, and my fingers flew across the screen, typing out a few words:

【Can grandparents eat your cookies?】

Sure enough, the actress rolled her eyes, just like before:

【Who wants to sell them to old people?! Seriously, don't insult my cookies, okay? Do your grandparents even deserve them?】

My fingers flew across the screen, bombarding the comments:

【Why don't my grandparents deserve them?! How is selling them to seniors an insult to you?! What's wrong with hard-working people earning a bit of cash to buy something nice for their elders?? Don't you have any elders in your family?】

【If I'm not mistaken, consumers have the right to ask about a product, right? I'm just exercising my rights, why are you being so sarcastic and snide? Are you trying to challenge consumer protection laws?】

【I used to think you were a brilliant actress for playing such convincing idiots, but turns out you weren't acting, you really are that dumb!】

After I furiously typed for a few minutes, the comments section became eerily quiet.

Ten minutes later, the trending topics exploded.

#Shocking! The Real Reason She Plays Idiots So Well!#

#BrittanyBlackwood:Don'tInsultMyCookies#

#Don'tYouHaveAnyEldersInYourFamily#

My words instantly went viral across the entire internet.

But Brittany Blackwood wasn't one to back down either; she immediately mobilized a bunch of influencers to spin the narrative in her favor:

"It was just an innocent slip of the tongue, yet someone maliciously twisted my words. Is society too harsh on celebrities?"

She immediately got roasted so badly, her own mother wouldn't recognize her:

【Her own grandparents were humiliated right to their faces, and they're supposed to just take it? Look at her condescending attitude when she said that. This wasn't a mistake; it's just pure classlessness!】

【Even though Brittany's words weren't great, is it really okay to keep attacking a young girl like this?】

【Bro, your 'little girl' is practically thirty! By that age, someone like Meryl Streep had already won every award, and your darling is still playing dumb and acting cutesy! Have some shame!】

【I was raised by my grandparents. If anyone ever talked to them like that, no joke, I'd be even angrier than this young lady!】

After putting down my phone, I called a nurse to remove Nana Rose’s IV drip and bought dinner, coaxing her to eat.

But then, a girl wearing a mask suddenly walked into the hospital room and asked, "Are you Stella Hayes?"

I nodded, bewildered. The next moment, the girl suddenly rushed over and knocked Nana Rose's dinner over. Juice spilled everywhere on the bed, and food stained Nana Rose’s clothes.

"You and your grandma actually have the nerve to eat! Do you know what you've done to Brittany?!"

"Eat, eat, eat! Why isn't there poison in this food to just kill you both?!"

I realized Brittany Blackwood’s fans had doxxed me and tracked me down.

I wasn't about to put up with her, so I grabbed a mop and shooed her out of the room: "A celebrity's fans reflect their own character!"

"You'd better watch your words. Consider it good karma for your idol, and show some respect to other people's elders."

While responding, I recorded the entire incident on my phone, deciding to call the police afterward to ensure an official outcome.

This place wasn't safe anymore. Later, Brittany Blackwood’s agency called, claiming she was young and spoke carelessly, and they were willing to compensate me for emotional damages if I contacted Brittany Blackwood’s agent immediately.

But when I tapped on the agent's profile and sent a message, they left my message on read.

I opened TikTok again, only to find Brittany Blackwood’s fans had already "forgiven" her on my behalf:

【This sister has already reached a private settlement with our Brittany!】

【It was all a misunderstanding, everyone knows our Brittany is known for being a ray of sunshine in the industry, her character is undeniable!】

I had no idea about any of this!

Checking my DMs, they were filled with hateful slurs.

【Trying to piggyback off my dear's fame, huh! My dear is already so pitiful having to work overtime on Christmas, and now she has to deal with your attitude!】

【So what if selling cookies to you is an insult! You're so pathetic you probably can't even afford a decent meal, talking to you makes me sick!】

【I heard you're a model, walking major runways at such a young age. You've probably slept with plenty of people privately, haven't you? Should I post your contact info and let everyone 'take care of your business'?】
