When the girls heard that Quinlyn was the one who did Mandy’s braids, they were envious “If I had known. I would’ve dirtied my dress too just to ask Quinlyn to do my hair”
The boys laughed and joked. “Quinlyn only cares about Mandy. You should just give up.
The words stung, and the girls erupted, shouting furiously at the boys.
Mandy stood proudly, feeling honored to have such a talented friend like Quinlyn.
On the sidelines. Harriet hugged her knees, her eyes barely peeking over as she watched Mandy basking in the spotlight.
“Mandy used to be the most overlooked and introverted student in the class. When did she shine brighter than me? Oh night. it’s because she’s friends with Quinlyn. Quinlyn, again! Harriet thought.
Jealousy simmered within Harriet, almost making her want to storm over and mess up Mandy’s hair.
Just then, Harriet’s phone vibrated in her pocket. She pulled it out, paused for a moment after reading the message, and then a gleeful grin spread across her face–the chance to ruin Mandy had finally arrived.
After a one–hour break, the livestream resumed, drawing a massive crowd triggered by the earlier conflict. Some were just curious onlookers, others were hoping for drama, but most were Yolanda’s die–hard fans.
[Wanna see how rich kids fight.]
[Money lets them do whatever they want. Poor Yolanda can’t even get any respect]
[The leader of the kids is Mandy, whose dad is a real estate tycoon. She’s ugly, tacky, and mean. Even if she wore a gown, she still wouldn’t look like royalty.]
[These rich kids are spoiled brats with bad attitudes. They’re sure to cause trouble in society when they grow up.]
The assistant director, who was responsible for monitoring the live stream, noticed something unusual. He discreetly glanced at Yolanda, who was gently cleaning a child’s face, and thought about how convincing her act was
But due to Yolanda’s connection with the show’s sponsor, he decided to keep his thoughts to himself and didn’t inform the
director.
Meanwhile, the live chat spiraled out of control, turning into a frenzy of group doxing. Each child’s personal information was revealed alongside nasty and insulting remarks.
By the time Quinlyn received the message about the chat, it was filled with a sea of censored symbols.
“Ms. Yates, all these messages are saved. Your classmates will see them tonight when they return. Should we talk to the show’s staff about getting some of the comments deleted the assistant suggested.
He knew that this flood of negative comments was likely staged by internet trolls. He had tried to control the damage by suppressing some negative news online, but the live stream was beyond their control.
Quinlyn checked the timestamp when the insults began and realized something. She shook her head and said, “I take
care of it
The assistant felt unsure, thinking Quinlyn might not be fully aware of how tricky and messy the entertainment industry could be. Once a trend started, even the truth could easily be dismissed.

Just as he was about to speak up, Quinlyn’s hands were already flying across the keyboard. The crispsound of the keys w like a quick rain shower.
Two minutes later, she pressed Enter, handed the computer back to the assistant, and calmly said, “Find all of them and send out the legal notices”
“Huh? Legal notices! To whom? The assistant was completely baffled. But as his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the live stream chat, he was shocked.
Jessica, an 11th grader at Lesly High School, living at XX Street, OO Avenue, Shocriter City: Mandy the fool is so obsessed with Raymond. Want to be the other woman? What a bitch.
Zachary, an employee at Young Electronics, living in Room 321, XX Building, Choster City: How dare you insult my idol! You kids, may you get hit by a car when you leave.]
The chat started without moderation, and a lot of foul language appeared, none of it censored. After a few seconds, the screen was suddenly filled with question marks, quickly spiraling into chaos.
Jessica, an 11th grader at Lesly High School, living at XX Street, OO Avenue, Shocriter City: [Why is this happening? Who leaked my information? It’s illegal!]
Zachary, an employee at Young Electronics, living in Room 321, XX Building, Choster City: [Damn, what’s going on with the crew? Quickly delete my previous comments; why can’t they be deleted anymore?]
Those who once reveled in insulting others were now feeling just as embarrassed. They realized their personal information was completely exposed, and they couldn’t delete their comments. They had to watch helplessly as their crude remarks remained visible, linked to their real identities.
The production team finally realized something was wrong. But no matter how much they tweaked the backend, they couldn’t fix the issue, not even shut down the live stream,
The assistant couldn’t hold back a laugh, feeling utterly delighted by the situation.
“What’s going on?” Quinlyn asked, feeling a bit bored. She was lying down playing with a Rubik’s Cube. Her fingers were fully twisting the colorful cube, yet she noticed the odd behavior of the person beside her.
“Nothing” The assistant tried to keep a straight face, but a grin quickly emerged. He chose honesty. “These online trolls get so bold precisely because they can hide behind anonymous profiles–spreading rumors and attacking people without
consequences.
“Many celebrities and even ordinary people had been victims of such online harassment, with quite a few suffering from depression or even taking their own lives. Seeing these trolls finally stripped down to their true, miserable selves–it’s just pure justice.”
Quinlyn hadn’t spent much time online. She mainly focused on coding and programming and hadn’t paid much attention to the entertainment world. So, she didn’t fully get it. “It’s just typing online, how does that drive someone to suicide? They don’t even know the person.”
The assistant smiled gently, thinking she was innocent and naive. He explained, “It’s like when you see people badmouthing Mandy, and it angers you. Even if they’re strangers. Mandy would still feel hurt. People are fragile, and too much negativity can harm their mental health.”
Quinlyn listened quietly, seeming to grasp the idea. She nodded and suddenly said, “If I revealed everyone’s identity, then
no one would get hurt, right?”
The assistant was startled by her daring idea and quickly waved his hands. “You can’t do that. If you get caught, it’ll be a major crime.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t get caught,” Quinlyn replied, her eyes calm and unwavering
With that look, the assistant felt certain that even if she committed murder, she wouldn’t show any flaws. Still, he said, “This issue is huge, and it might cause harm. Maybe you should ask someone else?
Feeling uneasy, the assistant quickly grabbed his laptop and dashed off. ‘Kids these days are just too scary, especially Quinlyn, he thought.
Later, feeling a bit bored. Quinlyn decided to drop a little bombshell in her group chats on her phone by sending out her
question.
The Game Team: [Quinlyn, what kind of crazy stuff are you talking about?]
The Expert Team: [Quinlyn, calm down! We’re having a meeting to discuss this right now.
The Task Force: [Wait, aren’t you still in elementary school? Why are you thinking about crime every day?]
901 Military Base: [Oh my goodness. Cybercrime classes haven’t even started, and you’re already on the brink of running afoul of the criminal law?]
Rich Kids Group: [What the hell?]
