Chapter 250: Chapter 250: So Angry, How Can They Be So Vicious?
XX Hospital’s announcement echoed through the halls.
In a corner of the hospital where medicine was being picked up, the medicine in Lian’s hand slipped and fell. She picked it up with trembling hands, tapping on her phone screen that had gone dark.
The display showed Ivana Monroe’s Weibo page, where a group of loyal fans and haters were locked in a fierce argument.
Michelle Monroe was among them, seemingly feeling that merely tagging Ivana wasn’t provoking enough, so she went to Ivana’s Weibo to play the innocent victim.
Damn it!
Her own mother just had surgery and was lying in a hospital room, while Michelle Monroe didn’t care, instead choosing to slander Her Majesty the Queen on Weibo. What a shameless act.
Lian quickly tagged Michelle Monroe in Ivana Monroe’s Weibo: "Do you know your mother just had surgery? The hospital’s been urgently calling for you, do you know? Do you know which ward your mother’s in?"
Michelle Monroe opened a bottle of Pepsi, gulping it down, feeling instantly refreshed. After securing the cap, she saw a wooden bench under the sycamore tree, meant for passersby to rest.
Her mother’s surgery would take time, and even after it was done, the medical staff would wheel her mother into a hospital room.
So she wasn’t in a rush to go to the hospital—the disinfectant smell there was too strong, too unpleasant. It was better to rest outside and continue attacking Ivana Monroe online before heading to the hospital.
Michelle sat on the bench, crossing her legs in an unladylike manner, with an excited grin on her face. She picked up her phone, but the smile faded as she scanned the comments.
What’s going on?
Were Ivana’s fans all cursing her? That wasn’t the key point—the jabs they were taking at her were.
Springtime Blossoms: "White Lotus Snow, how did your mom raise such an ’obedient’ daughter? Surgery’s done and you’re nowhere to be seen? Busy smearing our queen, it seems?"
Gray Wolf: "Haha... White Lotus Snow fits her perfectly, doesn’t it? I feel she doesn’t care about her mom’s life at all, just wants to extort some money from Her Majesty the Queen."
Seven Second Memory: "Damn! Look what I found? A screenshot from XX Hospital’s Weibo. Pictures and truth, everyone come and see! White Lotus Snow really deserves her name, I’m about to puke from the disgust."
"A stroke patient brought in by ambulance two hours ago—the surgery was very successful, but the family who paid a million is nowhere to be found. Family of patient Jean Shaw, please report to room 478 for patient care."
The receptionist commented: "We’ve called for Jean Shaw’s family several times over the announcements, but no one’s responded. Such irresponsible family members, thinking they can pay a million and not care for the patient? Don’t forget, the patient had a stroke and can’t take care of themselves. Does anyone know the family member’s name? Let’s announce her name a few more times and see if she’s shameless."
The chief surgeon: "I just checked—the family member who paid was named Ivana Monroe, and the one who came with the ambulance was Michelle Monroe. Let’s call for Michelle Monroe a few more times to come to room 478."
Instantly.
A flurry of replies erupted under the screenshot from Seven Second Memory.
"No... way, Her Majesty the Queen already paid a million to the hospital, yet White Lotus Snow still came to beg for money, defaming Her Majesty. It’s simply too, too, too... despicable."
"I’m disgusted too. How can such a shameless person exist in this world?"
"More than just shameless? White Lotus Snow is utterly heartless, leaving her post-op mom unattended in the hospital. The hospital’s announcement couldn’t find her after so many tries—disgraceful to the hospital."
"Haha... Does White Lotus Snow expect Her Majesty the Queen to pay and take care of her mom too?"
"It’s hilarious—Jean Shaw is White Lotus Snow’s real mom, not Her Majesty the Queen’s. Her Majesty’s already shown great kindness by paying, why should she take care too?"
"..."
The internet trolls continued to bash Ivana Monroe, but after XX Hospital’s Weibo exposure, their attacks seemed so weak and ineffective, even they felt like rabid dogs, attacking normal people without reason.
A few trolls stopped, each handling over ten accounts, they spoke to their leader.
"Boss, this job can’t go on. If we keep bashing, these ten accounts of mine might get wrecked."
"Exactly! Boss, White Lotus Snow is a total fool. She ran out of the hospital when her mom was having surgery. Is she brainless? Or does she not care about her mom’s life at all?"
"I’m done bashing, I’m really done... I can’t keep on like this, damn it..."
The trolls significantly dwindled in numbers.
Michelle Monroe, seeing the comments, realized Jean Shaw’s surgery was over. Her hand trembled violently, spilling her half-finished bottle of Pepsi on the ground, which she, being picky, didn’t bother to pick up.
Michelle Monroe felt nauseated with rage, blaming the hospital staff for loudly announcing her name after the surgery was done.
What?
Ivana Monroe paid a million?
This... how could this be? She knew Ivana’s temperament too well—Ivana wouldn’t pay if she said such things on Weibo, not even a hundred thousand, let alone a million.
Michelle ignored the insults from Ivana’s fans and cursed: "A bunch of brown-nosers. Brown-nosers never meet a good end."
She stomped off in her high heels, quickly making her way to the hospital.
Moments later, Michelle Monroe ended up on the trending topics list.
"World’s Most Ambitious Snow... White Lotus Snow." Accompanied by a photo of Michelle smiling while playing on her phone, sitting on the bench.
Many bystanders didn’t understand how the "World’s Most Ambitious Snow" turned into "White Lotus Snow?"
The comments lit up, and passersby soon understood that "White Lotus Snow" was a jab.
"Her mom’s undergoing surgery for a stroke, yet she’s grinning happily, like there’s a celebration at home. Drinking Pepsi, crossing her legs, and playing on her phone. Is it necessary for such a daughter to have been born?"
"No need, she should have been a stillbirth."
"Upstairs, how can you be so vicious? But... I like it, hehe."
Rushing to the hospital, Michelle couldn’t resist checking her phone again, only to find herself tagged, claiming she was trending!
Michelle found it strange; how could she possibly be on the trending list?
She clicked on the search rankings and found herself at the tail-end, then after looking closer, threw her phone in anger.
After throwing it, she regretted it.
Ugh... so infuriating... how was she evil? She just didn’t know her mom’s surgery was done, how could people bash her like this? Even saying she should have been a stillbirth?
Ugh... these people are as vicious as Ivana.

In the evening.
After Timmy and Ian went to sleep, Ivana Monroe opened the wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and, exhausted from the day’s events, intended to have a nice hot bath and sleep soundly.
Someone embraced her from behind, as a masculine scent wafted into Ivana’s nostrils.
