The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Netizen A: "It's already three o'clock in the morning, but I can't believe I'm still up with one hundred and twenty million people from all over the world, watching Elle sleep." Netizen B: "Boohoo... I'll miss Elle. I still want to see her survive in the forest, swing on the vines, crawl on the ground, and fight everyone indiscriminately!" Netizen C: "Me too! I've been spending all my spare time watching Elle on the livestream for the past seven days. It has become a habit. If I can't see her anymore in the future, it'll be worse than death!" Netizen D: "We strongly insist on extending the show!" Netizen E: "That's impossible. Can't you see how miserable those five people look right now? They might actually die in the forest if the filming continues." Netizen F: "Then I hope other variety shows will invite Elaine to participate as well. It would be best if they were live-streamed the entire time!" Netizen G: "I can't wait for tomorrow to come. I wonder how the director will reveal the truth to them." Netizen H: "I'm already looking forward to Miranda and the others' reactions when they find out the truth!" Netizen I: "Haha! It must be so satisfying! I want tomorrow to come sooner!"Netizen J: "I wish tomorrow would arrive sooner. But at the same time, I also wish time would pass by slowly so I could look at Elle's beautiful face more." One hundred and twenty million viewers on the livestream had been chatting non-stop all day long. That night, the food delivery platform being promoted during the livestream experienced a significant increase in business. By six o'clock the following morning, even more viewers started tuning into the livestream. As they joined, their excitement was evident, and they immediately asked about the unfolding situation: "Guys, have they uncovered the truth yet? Did I miss it?" Netizen B: "Look at the time, bro. Elaine is the only one awake at this hour." Netizen C: "I don't think it will happen so soon. They will probably find out after returning to the city. They are just waking up now, and it will be several more hours before they disembark from the cruise ship." Inside the forest, Elaine woke up early as usual. After freshening up, she went through her routine of practicing the Eight Brocades. After her exercise, she took a leisurely stroll, exploring the scenic surroundings one last time. "Don't go too far, Elaine. We're leaving at eight!" James shouted from behind. Hearing that, Elaine raised her hand and waved without turning around, acknowledging his reminder. At exactly seven fifty in the morning, she made her way back to the shore. Miranda and the others had already boarded the cruise ship. "Get onboard, Elaine. We're heading back. I've arranged for your luggage to be loaded," James called out with a smile and a wave as he saw her return. She nodded in acknowledgment and boarded the cruise ship. Shortly after, the ship began its journey. Everyone gathered on the deck, filled with excitement. With a cheerful expression, James announced, "Thank you for all your hard work. When we return to the city, we'll have a fan meeting. After that, the filming will officially come to an end." Elaine furrowed her brows, dreading the upcoming fan meeting. "There's a fan meeting? The reporters will definitely question me about the feud with Miranda. Just thinking about it gives me a headache." Meanwhile, Miranda and the others were already preparing their speeches and appearances for the fan meeting, aiming to make a significant impact and address the ongoing controversy. Miranda had changed into a stunning dress, and her makeup was flawless. Others in the group were equally focused on their preparations. Feeling disinterested in the whole ordeal, Elaine found a lounge chair and closed her eyes to rest. "Well, after that public spat with Miranda, I'm sure the internet is filled with hateful comments about me. No matter what I do, I can't change the audience's perception of me. My career in the entertainment industry is probably over. So, there's no point in making an effort now." During a moment when there were no cameramen around, Miranda approached Elaine, wearing a triumphant smile. She looked down at Elaine and said, "Elaine, I'm certain the internet is tearing you apart with hateful comments right now. Netizens probably despise you and wish you harm. The entertainment industry won't tolerate you anymore, and living a normal life may be impossible. But, if you kneel and apologize to me during the fan meeting, I'll talk to my parents and allow you back into the Grant family. Your only chance to survive is with our protection!" Elaine raised her eyelids and fixed Miranda with a chilly stare. "You're quite persistent, aren't you? Can't go a single day without getting defeated by me, and now you willingly come to me? If you don't back off now, don't blame me for making you regret it!" Miranda seethed with anger, her chest heaving. "You're utterly insolent! I'm offering you kindness and mercy by sparing your wretched existence, and yet you show no gratitude. When you're drowning in cyberbullying or getting cursed at in the streets, don't even think about returning home. You've missed your chance!" Elaine grabbed a nearby cup and flung it forcefully at Miranda. "Get lost!" Hearing the commotion, Gavin rushed over to see Miranda clutching her reddened wrist where the cup had struck her. His expression twisted with distress as he held her hand and brought it to his lips, gently blowing on it. Then, he shot an infuriated look at Elaine.Just as he was about to speak, Elaine abruptly stood up and rushed toward him. She hoisted him up like a sack and carried him to the railing on the deck. With a swift movement, she dangled him upside down over the edge by one of his legs. "Ah! Help me! Elaine, what's gotten into you? Pull me up quickly! I'll die if I fall from here!" Gavin's face turned pale, his voice trembling in fear. Elaine gazed at him with icy determination, her voice cold as ice. "Don't think I won't dare to do anything to you. If you utter another word of nonsense in my presence, I won't hesitate to act." Gavin trembled violently, his face turning red as the blood rushed to his head. "Calm down, Elaine. The livestream is still on. Don't go too far. A little scare is enough!" James hurried over to defuse the situation. With red eyes, Miranda expressed her disappointment, saying, "Elaine, how could you treat Gavin like this? He's your brother!" Elaine simply pulled Gavin back up indifferently and dropped him onto the deck as if he were lifeless. "Remember, from now on, don't provoke me." She delivered the warning coldly before returning to her lounge chair. Miranda bit her lip and went to check on Gavin. "Gavin, are you okay?" He tried to shake his head, but his body was still trembling so violently that he couldn't manage it. Based on Elaine's icy glare just now, she genuinely wanted to harm me. If the livestream weren't ongoing, I'm certain she would have thrown me into the water... Miranda spoke softly. "I didn't expect that even when the camera is rolling, Elaine can't control herself. It's easy to imagine how arrogant she must be when the cameras are off. What disappoints me the most is that, after failing to harm you last time, she attempted to do it again in front of the camera this time... Gavin, it seems like she genuinely has no intention of reuniting with us." Gavin had finally regained his composure. Through clenched teeth, he declared, "Even if she tries to reconcile in the future, I won't consider her my sister anymore! Our family doesn't have such a heartless person! If she were to return to our family, she would ultimately bring our downfall!" A faint, victorious smile played at the corners of Miranda's lips. I've achieved my goal. From now on, I'll be the only daughter of the Grant family, and all of the family's wealth will eventually belong to me! If I ask my foolish brothers nicely, they'll willingly give me their shares! Netizen comments poured in, with one saying: Do Miranda and Gavin not understand human language? Elaine has clearly told them not to bother her, yet they shamelessly approach her. I've never seen such despicable people! Netizen B: Elaine has already stated she doesn't want to be associated with the Grant family and is disgusted by them, but Miranda and Gavin persist in threatening Elaine, claiming they won't let her return to the Grant family. Are they out of their minds? Netizen C: Gavin and Miranda are such peculiar individuals. Just looking at them makes me feel repulsed!Netizen D: I can't stand them anymore. The director should ask the cruise ship to speed up and dock quickly! Let them learn the truth and see if they still dare to insult Elaine! Netizen E: Will the director reveal the truth to them during the fan meeting? Netizen F: Ah, I'm so excited that I can't think of anything else but eagerly await the fan meeting! Netizen G: Same here! I'm just waiting for them to discover the truth today. Following this incident, no one dared to provoke Elaine any longer, and she finally enjoyed some peace and quiet. Similar to the journey to the forest at the beginning, the cruise ship sailed along the river for five hours before reaching its destination. As the group disembarked from the cruise ship, vehicles arranged by the production team were already waiting at the shore. This time, the production team prepared two buses—one for the guests and several cameramen, and one for all other staff. The buses drove for over three hours before finally arriving in Horington. The production team seemed to have reserved the entire area, as there was no one else around except for the vigilant bodyguards. Everyone disembarked from the buses in front of a luxurious five-star hotel. With a wide grin on his face, James said, "Let's head inside. I've arranged for a stage in the banquet hall, and the reporters have been waiting there for quite some time. All that's left is for you leading stars to make your grand entrance!" Miranda's anticipation was palpable, and she could hardly suppress the grin tugging at her lips. James repeated, "Come on, let's go inside!" The group followed James into the hotel and made their way to the banquet hall on the first floor. As they entered the hall, they were taken aback by the scene that unfolded before them. The banquet hall was filled with filming equipment and a multitude of people. Amazed, Miranda inquired, "Mr. Grisham, are these all reporters?" James replied with a smile, "Indeed, they are. Reporters from various regions, media platforms, and even international correspondents have gathered here. Some have traveled from other countries and regions just to interview you! We have reporters representing nearly every country in the world present." Miranda's face beamed with joy. "Reporters from around the world? Incredible! Is our show that popular?" Her excitement reached its peak, and she could hardly contain her enthusiasm. In her mind, one thought dominated. I'm going to be famous! Not only will I achieve stardom in this country, but my name will be known worldwide! I'm on the path to becoming an international sensation! I'm truly a natural-born leading lady!
