Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Stroke! What Good News!
Jean Shaw is undergoing surgery.
Michelle Monroe opened her phone and immediately saw "GK" trending, and upon clicking it, she felt like her eyelids were bleeding red with anger.
"GK" divine fashion, selling like crazy for three consecutive days, guess how many more days before "GK" completely runs out?
A large number of comments followed.
"GK is out of stock every day after 2 PM, thanks!"
"I feel like the editor wants to say... GK will be completely out of stock in a few days."
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Never run completely out, I don’t support full out of stock."
"..."
Michelle Monroe felt so angry she wanted to smash the phone, but ultimately didn’t act on impulse; this old iPhone 7 was handed down to her by Jean Shaw, who told her if she broke it again, she’d have to earn the money to buy a new one herself!
Why does Lady Luck always smile upon Ivana Monroe while she ends up in such a pitiful state?
Michelle’s heart was extremely unbalanced; her eyes wandered as she suddenly logged into her main account, tagged "GK" and "Ivana": "Sis, Mom fell and was hospitalized today, diagnosed by the doctor as a stroke and is undergoing surgery now. We don’t even have money for medical bills, please come to XX hospital to see Mom, can you help pay her medical expenses?"
Having sent it, Michelle displayed a sinister smile. She’s truly clever; not only are Mom’s medical bills sorted, she’s also set to thoroughly tarnish Ivana’s image.
"GK" will also suffer heavy blows, becoming the laughing stock of everyone, right?
Regardless, the general public won’t know her mom isn’t Ivana’s biological mom, they will only think Ivana is unfilial, putting earning money above caring for her mom who’s hospitalized after a stroke.
Everyone will certainly assume she called Ivana first, and Ivana coldly refused to care whether her mom lived or died, leaving Michelle no choice but to tag "GK" and Ivana on Weibo.
It happened immediately.
A swarm of trolls attacked "GK" and Ivana’s Weibo accounts with such speed it left Michelle wide-eyed.
Michelle laughed even brighter, seeing it’s not just her who couldn’t stand Ivana; many people can’t stand her and want to bring her down.
@Ivana: "Your mom had a stroke and is lying in the operating room, your mom is nearly gone, what’s the use of making so much money?"
@Ivana: "How come I never saw earlier that you were a heartless and ungrateful wretch?"
@Ivana: "Are you busy making money to buy yourself a coffin? You’ve stopped caring whether your mom lives or dies?"
"..."
The comments escalated, getting nastier and nastier.
Ivana’s fans saw it and quickly spoke out on her behalf, most of them urging everyone to stay calm, reminding them no one knows the truth yet, so don’t get swept along attacking Ivana blindly.
But those trolls didn’t stop at all, the more they attacked, the more repulsive they became, eventually cursing innocent people who bought "GK" fashion, saying they’d face retribution for supporting such treachery.
A few loyal fans smelled a crisis, suspecting someone deliberately hired trolls to attack "GK" and Ivana. If this situation continued spiraling, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to "GK" and might even affect "GK"’s fashion sales.
Several fans sent private messages, creating a WeChat group.
Spring Blossoms: "These haters are too vile, sisters, what should we do now?"
Ugly Duckling: "Stay calm, stay calm. Now we need to quickly reach the Queen and get to the bottom of this whole affair."
Seven Seconds Memory: "My goddess is Queen’s bestie, I’ll ask my goddess’s fan club president to contact the goddess to see if she can get the Queen’s phone number for us."
Seven Seconds Memory’s so-called goddess is Stacy Floyd, she’s a fan of Stacy, and now also a loyal supporter of Ivana. Queen is an honorary title given to Ivana by her loyal fans.
The title had just come out and earned universal approval from Ivana’s fans. "Queen" is so dominating, it suits Ivana perfectly.
Stacy Floyd’s phone rang; seeing it was a call from the leader of her fandom, she immediately answered without hesitation.
The leader was a shy 23-year-old girl who wouldn’t even send a message without reason, worried about disturbing the goddess’s work or rest, let alone call.
Clearly, something major had happened.
Indeed.
After hearing the leader’s words, Stacy’s pretty face became extremely angry, her image shattered, and she swore: "Damn it! Michelle, that shameless brat, dared to run online to smear Ivana? Haven’t she already caused Ivana enough misery? Her mom isn’t Ivana’s biological mom; she’s a wicked stepmother. Why can’t her mom die from that stroke? It would be better if she dies! If she and her mom both die, the world would be at peace."
The leader was utterly shocked, softly saying: "Goddess, calm down, calm down, please mind your image! There are so many bad people in this world."
Stacy didn’t give Ivana’s phone number to the leader, telling her to obtain a phone number from one of the fans so she could first ask Ivana whether to contact them.
Ivana was focused on her career, not the entertainment industry, so fans weren’t terribly important to Ivana. Moreover, Ivana not only had to focus on her career but also had to take care of her child. She was worried that if she agreed to fans and handed over the number, Ivana wouldn’t have the time to engage, which might cause backlash among fans.
The leader procured the phone number, and Stacy had already contacted Ivana.
Ivana didn’t worry about her career but laughed saying: "A stroke, huh! It’s a good thing! Michelle will have to work hard from now on."
As Stacy speculated, Ivana didn’t want to involve the fans.
Stacy didn’t forward the fan’s number to Ivana; instead, she quietly sent a message to "Seven Seconds Memory": "Hey Seven Seconds! Our Ivana doesn’t want to trouble you guys, rest assured, she’ll handle it. I’m thanking you on her behalf!"
Seven Seconds Memory’s hand trembled, quickly sending a message: "Are you Stacy, the goddess?"
Stacy sent a "smiley face."
Seven Seconds Memory went insane with joy: "Goddess, I want to confess, I love you so much, and I also love the Queen. If there’s a chance, can you convey this for me?"
Stacy chuckled: "Sure."
Seven Seconds Memory held their phone, shaking all over, filled with happiness!
Seven Seconds Memory sent a message to the group: "The goddess replied, the Queen doesn’t want to trouble us."
Spring Blossoms: "Waaa... I’m willing to be troubled by the Queen."
Ugly Duckling: "Everyone shouldn’t be upset; this situation reveals the Queen’s character. I believe in the Queen, she can resolve the current predicament."
Moments later.
Ivana went on Weibo and responded to Michelle with one sentence: "It’s your mom having a stroke, not mine! You’re begging me for money now? How did you treat me when I once begged you?"
Ivana’s reply revealed a wealth of information.
Ivana’s fans stepped out in force.
"Michelle is just so shameless, confusing right and wrong, pretending it’s the Queen’s biological mom when it’s clearly her own mom. Supporting the Queen on this too; you once wronged me, why should I help you now?"
