The live room audience buzzed with comments: "[It's already 3 AM! I can't believe I stayed up to watch Evangeline sleep.]" Another viewer wrote: "[120 million buddies from all over the country are staying up with me!]"

One person commented: "I don't want to part with Evangeline yet. I still want to see her survive in the forest, swing on vines, crawl on the ground, and beat everyone up!"

Another added: "Me too! I've made a habit of watching Evangeline every day for the past seven days whenever I have time. It's more miserable than dying to miss her!" Someone else wrote: "I want the show to be extended!"

But another pointed out: "It's impossible. Can't you see how close to death those five are? If they keep filming, they might actually be found dead in the forest!" Another person chimed in: "[Then I hope other variety shows request Evangeline to participate, preferably a full-length livestream show!]"

Someone wrote: "I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I wonder how Mr. Fowler will let them know the truth."

Another person added: "I can't wait to see Meghan's reaction!"

A commenter said excitedly: "Well, well, well. It feels good just thinking about it! I wish tomorrow would come sooner!"

Another added: "Me too. But I also hope time slows down a little so I can see more of Evangeline's beauty."

The 120 million viewers in the live room chattered constantly. The live room's food delivery platform was also busy fulfilling orders that night.

At six o'clock the next morning, more people joined the live room, excitedly asking: "Guys, have they learned the truth? Did I miss something?"

A commenter replied: "Bro, it's still early! Besides Evangeline, everyone else was still asleep."

Someone pointed out: "I don't think the truth will be revealed soon. They won't know until they return to the city. They're just getting up now, and the cruise ship ride back will take hours."

Evangeline woke early as usual. After washing, she practiced Eight Brocades by the river and then strolled, enjoying the scenery one last time.

"Evangeline, don't go too far. We leave at eight," Dallas called from behind.

Evangeline didn't look back but raised her hand in acknowledgement. She returned to the shore ten minutes before eight. Meghan and the others were already on the cruise ship.

Seeing Evangeline, Dallas smiled and waved. "Evangeline, come on up. We're going home. Someone brought your backpack!"

Evangeline nodded and boarded. The cruise ship soon departed.

With everyone on deck, Dallas smiled. "Thank you all for your hard work. After returning to the city, we'll have a press conference. After that, our shooting will be complete."

Evangeline frowned. 'A press conference? The reporters will surely attack me, asking why I targeted Meghan. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.'

Meghan and the others were already rehearsing their speeches. After Dallas's announcement, they began preparing. Meghan changed into a beautiful dress and applied makeup. Others prepared their speeches and tidied their appearances. Evangeline found a recliner to rest. She had no intention of preparing a speech or dressing up. She figured the netizens were already criticizing her, and nothing she did would change their minds. Her entertainment career was likely over.

After confirming no cameraman was nearby, Meghan approached Evangeline, looking down condescendingly. "Evangeline, the internet must be full of criticism. The netizens must hate you so much they want you dead," she said with a proud smile. "They'll probably scold you like a public enemy. There's no room for you in the entertainment industry; you can't live a normal life. But if you kneel and apologize to me at the press conference, I can put in a good word for you with Mom and Dad, letting you return to the Gallagher family. You can only survive with our family's protection!"

Evangeline glared coldly. "Were you born without a sense of shame? Feeling uncomfortable without hearing yourself, so you approach me for this? If you don't leave now, don't blame me for showing you the taste of my fists!"

Meghan, breathing sharply, turned angry. "You ungrateful thing! I'm being kind and generous, giving you a way out, and you don't appreciate it! Once you're cyberbullied and attacked in public, don't think about coming home. You've missed your chance!"

Evangeline grabbed a cup and smashed it on Meghan, shouting, "Fuck off!"

Samson heard the commotion and ran over. Seeing Meghan's reddened wrist, he distressedly blew on it and glared furiously at Evangeline. Before he could curse, Evangeline grabbed him, carried him like a sack to the deck, and hung him upside down over the railing.

"Ah! Help! Evangeline, have you lost your mind? Pull me up! Or I'll die!" Samson shouted, his face pale.

Evangeline looked at him indifferently. "Don't think I wouldn't hurt you. If you bark at me like a dog again, I will make you suffer!"

Samson shook violently, his face turning red.

"Evangeline, calm down! The livestream is still on. Just scare him," Dallas shouted, rushing over to mediate.

Meghan's eyes reddened. "Evangeline, how could you do this to Sam? He's your brother!"

Evangeline coldly threw Samson onto the deck. "Don't mess with me again," she warned, returning to her recliner.

Meghan went to Samson. "Sam, are you okay?"

Samson trembled too violently to shake his head. Evangeline's cold eyes had shown her intent to kill him. If not for the livestream, he was sure she would have thrown him overboard.

Meghan said faintly, "I didn't expect Evangeline to be so unrestrained on camera. I can only imagine how arrogant she is off-camera. What's sad is that after failing to harm you before, she wants to kill you on camera. Sam, it seems Evangeline doesn't want to acknowledge us as family anymore."

Samson gritted his teeth. "Even if she wants to in the future, I won't accept her. Our family has no such cruel member! If she returns, she'll end the Gallagher family sooner or later."

Meghan smiled secretly. She had achieved her goal. 'From now on, I'll be the only young daughter of the Gallagher family. All the family's property will be mine. Those stupid brothers will give me their company shares once I act coquettishly.'

The audience commented: "[Are Meghan and Samson incapable of understanding human language? Evangeline has said countless times not to mess with her, yet they still approach her snarkily. I've never seen such vicious people!]"

Another commenter added: "[Evangeline said she wanted nothing to do with the Gallagher family, considering them a misfortune, but they always threaten her with their family name. Are they mentally ill?]"

A commenter mocked: "[Samson and Meghan are such weirdos. They both make me sick!]"

Another pointed out: "I can't stand them anymore! Mr. Fowler, please make the cruise ship go faster, get them ashore quickly so they can learn the truth sooner! Let's see if they still dare to badmouth Evangeline!"

Someone asked: "[Will Mr. Fowler tell them at the press conference?]"

A person wrote: "[I'm so excited I can't do anything else! I just want to see the press conference sooner!]"

Another chimed in: "[Me too! I can't wait to see them learn the truth today!]"

After the incident, no one dared provoke Evangeline. She relaxed. The cruise ship sailed for five hours before landing. Vehicles from the production team waited on the shore. Two buses were provided; the guests and some cameramen took one, the rest of the staff the other. After over three hours, they arrived in Hofcaster's downtown and stopped at a five-star hotel, seemingly entirely reserved by the production team, guarded by bodyguards.

Dallas smiled. "Let's go in. I've arranged a stage in the hotel banquet hall. The reporters have been waiting." Meghan eagerly anticipated the press conference.

Dallas said, "Let's go!" Everyone entered the hotel and arrived at the banquet hall. They were shocked. The hall was filled with filming equipment and hundreds of people.

Meghan asked in surprise, "Mr. Fowler, are they all reporters?"

Dallas smiled. "Yes. Reporters from all over the country, from various platforms and media, even overseas. Reporters from almost all over the world are here!"

Meghan was astounded. "Reporters from all over the world? My goodness, is our variety show that popular?" She felt excited. 'I'm going to be famous! Not only domestically but internationally! I'm going to be an international superstar! I truly have the natural talent to become a female lead actress!'
