Charlotte Thompson hung up the phone, her spirits finally lifted from rock bottom. With great effort, she staggered out of the bed like a broken marionette and groggily went to wash up.
After freshening up, she sat on the couch, and her phone on the table started to vibrate like mad again.
With pursed lips, she picked up her phone.
More DMs on the Weibo, a barrage from Internet users; her inbox was bursting with nothing but insults.
Though not the first time dealing with such a situation, the abusive comments from the haters this time carried not an iota of mercy, the words grotesquely unpleasant.
It even triggered some of Evelyn Curtis' fans who had previously calmed down.
Charlotte rubbed her aching eyebrows, re-checking Justin Battleson's Weibo post from the night before.
As expected, the clarifying statement from the person involved had garnered exponentially more attention than the original Weibo post, moreover, it came from a verified account.
