That netizen was scolding Samantha rather than praising her.
She was berated for contempt of the competition's rules, for winning first place using the identity of Mrs. Barker, and for deliberately insulting her fellow contestants. Due to her allegedly bad character, she was asked to offer her apologies by withdrawing from the competition!
Samantha's mind went completely blank.
She clicked on another private message and saw the same situation. All of them were cursing at her and their words became even harsher.
As strong as her heart was, it was still disheartening to read insulting messages from so many people. She chose to turn off the private messages and kept them out of her sight.
However, she still had to figure out why she was scolded all of a sudden.
She won the first round that day by relying on sheer ability and would never tolerate those unreasonable allegations.
