Eileen was caught off guard for a moment before she slowly opened her eyes.
She stared at the ceiling, thinking, and asked, "Why isn't she recording the show anymore?"
Phyllis' voice came from the other side. "I'm going to sue Kenley and the company. I'm swamped with things to do, so I might pause my showbiz activities."
Phyllis' words were simple, but whether it was against a top star like Kenley or against a management company with a contract in hand, she, a not-so-famous female artist, was undoubtedly challenging a powerful opponent.
The room fell into a long silence.
"Alright, let's hit the sack." Bblythe didn't want the atmosphere to get too serious.
Eileen then spoke, "When you get back, send me your email address."
Bblythe and Phyllis both turned their heads to look at her.
"Why?" Phyllis asked.
Eileen had closed her eyes. "I have something to send you. You'll know when the time comes."

The next morning, after bidding farewell to the host couple, the group finally wrapped up the second shoot and started their journey home.
The production team returned their personal items. Eileen stood at the front door of the villa. As she unlocked her phone, she saw that others had already started making calls.
Everyone seemed busy, whether it was work, friends, or family. If they were to disappear for a day or two, the whole world would look for them.
Eileen unlocked her phone. She found no missed calls. She checked WhatsApp but she didn't have many friends, and no one had messaged her.
She felt a pang of jealousy watching others on their phones, then sourly opened Twitter. It wasn't until she opened Twitter that she received a lot of new messages. Thousands of messages cursing her, tens of thousands of malicious comments.
Eileen was teary-eyed when looking at these comments. Since the last time she responded to some fans who didn't like her, her Twitter had gained a lot more haters, who cursed her daily in various ways.
Eileen scrolled through her home page to find that the comments on her tweet had reached a hundred thousand and was almost unable to accommodate new comments.
She quickly tweeted a new post, providing a new comment section for those who didn't like her.
Eileen. "Hello there."
Seemingly meaningless words, but within less than a minute after posting, over a hundred haters started to comment on her tweet, leaving messages.
---Eileen, you whore.
---Eileen, get out of our sight.
---You still dare to tweet, how dare you?
Just as the live streaming was about to end, the cameraman panned over the guests, finally resting on Eileen, who was laughing very happily, looking at her phone with a gentle face. The cameraman laughed and moved the camera over. "Eileen, what are you looking at that makes you so happy?"
Eileen generously showed her phone screen to everyone, letting the cameraman capture it.
The cameraman took a shot, and his face immediately turned. The live chatroom comments also suddenly stopped at that moment. The screen was filled with rude words, insults, and personal attacks, making it dizzying to read.
---[This is totally hate speech, isn't it? And the way netizens curse is really hard to hear.]
---[Eileen is really cunning.]
---[What does it mean?]
---[She's reading hate comments in front of the camera, isn't she just trying to cry about how badly she's being cursed in front of the camera, then gain sympathy. By the way, does this make more fans feel sorry for her?]
---[Is that really the case?]
