There were countless other things, small and large, that they had witnessed. They had to admit and respect her success. She possessed an exceptionally intelligent mind and a decisive approach.
She often proclaimed herself as a petty, vindictive person, but how many of them were truly virtuous and forgiving?
She was an 'antagonist' who was so forthright and transparent that no one could truly despise her. In fact, she had amassed a large following despite not being a celebrity. Her villainy was so grand that it even outshone some people's attempts at being 'good'. It was a performance so unabashed that it left people speechless.
Who could judge her? Perhaps only those who, from behind screens and keyboards, positioned themselves as moral absolutists, using a barrage of words and phrases to criticize and condemn, all in an attempt to showcase their 'kindness' and 'justice', and how unique, wise, knowledgeable, and outstanding they were.
But how many of these people can claim to be truly selfless and virtuous? Who could personify all the virtues of the world? Even angels could not achieve such a feat.
Those who preached about their morality and ethics while lacking the skills and courage to act in the real world, achieved nothing themselves, but envied those who did. All they needed was to ridicule others for not doing 'good enough' to feel balanced.d2
There were so many of these people, too many to count, like cockroaches, gathering in their respective corners, coincidentally criticizing you, attacking with words and trying to undermine everything you did.
Tonight's events, along with past occurrences, would inevitably invite a new round of criticism and accusations. All these were challenges she would have to face.
Everyone knew there would be consequences, and of course, Chloe knew as well. But what did she have to fear now?
Being betrayed, abandoned, and thrown overseas by her own family for many years, she had experienced life and death. What were these challenges compared to all she had survived?
