Elaine scoffed, "That's right. I'm so poor that I've gone crazy. After all, your birth mother took me away and abandoned me in the slums when I was a child. Unlike you, who enjoyed a luxurious upbringing with a monthly allowance of hundreds of thousands. Compared to you, I should have been driven to madness by poverty, right?" Miranda bit her lip, her face turning pale. Gavin said unhappily, "Don't target Miranda! What Miranda's mother did has nothing to do with her. The suffering you endured wasn't caused by Miranda. Furthermore, Miranda's mother has already paid the price for her past actions. What more do you want?" Elaine said sarcastically, "She has benefited from her mother's wrongdoings, so why can't I target her? When you talk about the price her mother paid, are you referring to all of you dismissing her and then helping her buy a mansion so she could live carefreely for the rest of her life? That's such a dear price to pay." An awkward expression spread across Gavin's face. "H-How did you know?" Elaine sneered, "I overheard everything when Miranda knelt down to beg all of you to let her birth mom off the hook. I also heard you say that if it weren't for her birth mom swapping me and Miranda, all of you wouldn't have such a good sister and daughter like Miranda. So, to thank that culprit housekeeper, not only did you forgive her error on my behalf, but you also bought her a mansion and gave her a large sum of money to spend in her twilight years. You even discussed how to deceive me, deliberately lying that you sent the housekeeper to prison." Gavin was rendered speechless by Elaine's retort. Miranda snapped, "How could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations? You really have no manners!" Elaine shrugged indifferently. "You're right. I don't have sophistication like you do. After all, I can't bring myself to enjoy a life that belongs to someone else with peace of mind and even plan to harm that person. I also can't bring myself to be grateful to someone who caused my biological sister to suffer and nearly die on the streets. I dare not emulate the sophistication you have." Gavin's face lost all color as a look of internal struggle and agony filled his gaze. It appeared that at that moment, facing Elaine's direct confrontation, he realized the outrageous and wicked nature of his behavior, and how he might have been in the wrong. Netizen A: What the h*ll? I can't believe the Grants did something so appalling! They even bought that culprit housekeeper a mansion and gave her money to support her retirement? That's too much! They don't feel sorry at all for Elaine! Netizen B: Elaine is so unlucky to be born into the Grant family. Netizen C: The Grants are truly abhorrent. From now on, I'm boycotting all products related to their family business! Netizen D: Miranda is utterly despicable. After all the atrocious things they've done, how dare she criticize Elle for eavesdropping? How well-mannered do they think they are after everything they did? Netizen E: Elle, you must hold on and not forgive those repulsive family members of yours. You shouldn't return to the Grant residence either. They do not deserve your forgiveness! Netizen F: You're right, Elle! Although Miranda's birth mom was the one who swapped you two, Miranda benefited from it. Therefore, she's not innocent. She should make amends to you on her mom's behalf instead of constantly targeting you, Elle! Netizen G: I'm so angry! I curse Miranda and the Grant family to have a miserable life! Gavin is seriously a brainless git. I can't believe he's actually begging for leniency on behalf of the culprit who caused so much suffering to his own younger sister and even pampered her so much. What was he thinking? Did he ever think about how much torment Elaine had endured all those years when he uttered those words? Netizen H: Elaine was the one who suffered, so what right did he have to forgive the wrongdoer in Elaine's place? How was Miranda qualified to beg the Grant family to forgive her birth mom? Has she ever thought about how much hardship Elaine went through because of her birth mom? Netizen I: They're just a bunch of trash and should be recycled with other rubbish! "Elaine, I—" "Gavin, don't listen to Elaine's nonsense. I never intended to harm her. I always advised all of you to accommodate her. Have you forgotten that?" Miranda said to her brother with teary eyes. Gavin furrowed his brows. That indeed seems to be the case. Since Elaine returned home, she has been targeting Miranda all the time. Whenever Miranda was bullied, she would still speak up for Elaine and ask us not to blame her. But now, Elaine is telling me Miranda has always wanted to cause her death. It seems Elaine has truly gone mad. To vilify us, she's even resorting to telling blatant lies. Gavin shook his head in disappointment. "I can't communicate with you when you're intent on defaming Miranda at the moment. I'm also not in the mood to correct you right now. After we go back, I'll talk to Mom and Dad to arrange for you to see a psychologist." Elaine stared at him coldly. "I think you need to see a doctor more than I do. But you'll have to see a psychiatrist. I seriously doubt whether there's something wrong with your brain, or perhaps everyone in the Grant family was simply born moronic." "You!" Gavin glared at her in exasperation. However, this time, he didn't lash out. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said sternly, "I don't want to argue with you now. I'll only ask you this. Can you willingly share the food with everyone?" Elaine replied, "No." Gavin's tone was frosty. "You're too selfish! As your brother, I'll teach you a lesson today! Let's do this together. We'll tie her up to give her a good lesson. If she resists, just use force. She's been used to hardship since she was a child. As tough and resilient as she is, a few hits won't hurt her!"Everyone was famished. Therefore, upon hearing Gavin's words, they did not perceive anything amiss. Instead, they unanimously agreed that Elaine was being petty and selfish and deserved to be taught a lesson. In times of crisis, we should unite and support one another, rather than behaving as selfishly as Elaine. The crowd began scouring their surroundings for weapons. Some picked up thick wooden sticks, while others grabbed stones the size of bricks. They then closed in on Elaine, all wearing determined expressions. We must subdue Elaine and take away her food! Elaine gazed at them as if they were a group of fools. It seems that stupidity is contagious. Gavin has managed to infect everyone, turning them into idiots like him. "Elaine, it's not too late for you to surrender now. I don't want to harm you unless absolutely necessary!" Gavin said, hesitating. Elaine retorted, "Get lost!" Gavin shook his head in disappointment. "Since you're unrepentant, don't blame me for this!" He waved his hand, and everyone raised their weapons, preparing to confront Elaine. A series of clattering sounds followed. Elaine dusted off her hands and kicked Miranda, lying at her feet, aside. Sweeping her gaze across the crowd sprawled on the ground, she mocked, "Have you all lost your minds? I've already beaten you twice, and you still dare to provoke me?" Their faces turned as dark as thunder. Elaine continued, "You couldn't even defeat me when you weren't that hungry, let alone now when you've been starving for so long. Or do you think you didn't perform at your best previously?" Everyone felt embarrassed listening to Elaine's taunts, and their already gloomy expressions grew even darker. Elaine added impatiently, "Get out of my sight and stop ruining my appetite!" Despite feeling resentful, the others had no choice but to retreat with their tails between their legs, fearing another beating from Elaine. Netizen A: You're being too merciful, Elle! They still have some breath left! How disappointing! Netizen B: I love it when Elle scolds people. She hits the nail on the head. They haven't just lost their sanity. They've completely lost their minds. Instead of searching for food themselves, they're trying to steal Elle's, even accusing her of being selfish. If they're not selfish, why don't they donate all their money? Netizen C: Gavin is despicable. How can he treat his own younger sister this way, instructing others to attack Elaine and pretending it's for her own good? Screw him! Netizen D: Gavin is a brainless fool, always being manipulated by Miranda and doing her bidding. Miranda easily influences him, turning him against Elaine. Heaven, please take these two idiots away. I can't stand them anymore! Netizen E: You're the best, Elle! I support you! Netizen F: I feel so bad for Elle. Meanwhile, at the Grant residence, the Grant family members were also watching the live broadcast. In the past few days, they had been busy dealing with company matters and had no time to watch the live broadcast. After Theodore acquired Elaine's shares, he attempted to buy shares from other shareholders in order to become the largest shareholder and gain control of the entire Grant Group. As a result, they spent their days communicating with other shareholders and even purchased a significant number of shares at a high price. They were so occupied that they were unaware of the unfortunate incident that occurred during the variety show in which Gavin and Miranda participated. Finally, in the evening of that day, as the busyness subsided, they were able to return home. When the family gathered for dinner, they set up the projector, intending to watch how Gavin and Miranda were faring in the variety show. Miranda, their pampered little princess, had grown up in luxury since childhood, but this time, she had to go to the wilderness to film a variety show. Although variety shows were mostly scripted, the conditions during outdoor filming were undoubtedly very harsh. The Grant family members wondered if their precious Miranda had endured any hardships. They also wondered if Elaine was fulfilling her role well in the variety show, complementing Miranda after signing the contract. That crazy girl. Despite her bad personality, stubbornness, and wickedness, she undeniably possesses good looks. Even Miranda is slightly inferior to her in terms of appearance. I wonder if she's scheming, deliberately trying to outshine Miranda and make herself prettier. If that b*stard dares to play tricks to overshadow Miranda instead of properly cooperating to promote her, we'll definitely teach her a lesson once the program ends! Even if she has joined forces with Theodore, we can still find an opportunity to catch her! With their longing and concern for Gavin and Miranda occupying their minds, they turned on the projector and tuned into the live broadcast of the variety show. When they found the live stream of the variety show and noticed the hundreds of millions of online viewers, they were astonished. Yelena covered her mouth in surprise. "Goodness gracious! Why are there so many people watching this live broadcast? Is this variety show so popular?" Frederick glanced at the screen and smiled proudly. "The viewers must be here for Miranda. She's so beautiful, elegant, kind, and sensible. It's only natural for her to attract such a large audience." Yoel chimed in, "That's right. After all, she's the little princess we've pampered since childhood. Her exceptional qualities are a testament to our success."Quentin said, "Hahaha! This time, Miranda has achieved the fame she desired. She'll undoubtedly become the most sensational celebrity in the entire entertainment industry!" Yelena was grinning from ear to ear. "Miranda, our little princess, is truly our pride. We'll always be proud of her, unlike that rebellious Elaine." Frederick frowned in displeasure. "Why did you bring up that good-for-nothing for no reason? Don't ruin our appetite!" Yelena hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry. I won't mention her again." Frederick urged, "Let's stop talking and start watching the live stream!"
