But Megan was stubborn. “I don’t think so.”Â
“Really, Rora, you have no idea how powerful that crowd is. They’re extreme and notoriously hard to deal with.”Â
She scrolled through her phone several more times, unwilling to believe they had given up attacking Aurora so quickly.Â
She looked at Aurora solemnly. “Just be careful, alright? Her fans are genuinely frightening.”Â
Watching Megan repeat the warning again and again, Aurora understood the gravity of it.Â
If Megan was this afraid, that fanbase clearly wasn’t easy to provoke.Â
Even so, with nothing happening online, Aurora felt it should be fine.Â
She offered a calm reassurance. “Don’t worry. It’s probably nothing. You’ve checked and there’s no movement, so maybe they realized their idol was at fault and this has nothing to do with me.”Â
Megan forced a thin smile. “Let’s hope so. Maybe they still have a shred of conscience.”Â
Aurora took a bite of a bun and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.Â
“Relax,” she said lightly. “It’ll be fine. We live under the rule of law. There’s nothing to be afraid of.Â
Megan let out a long sigh. She wanted to say more, but seeing Aurora eating with such a good appetite, she held back.Â
Thinking it over, she felt Aurora still didn’t grasp how serious this could get.Â
Online mobbing was vicious; those people swarmed like rabid dogs.Â
They never cared about the truth. They only saw what they wanted to see.Â
Still, she didn’t want to spoil Aurora’s mood. It was rare to see her enjoy breakfast this much.Â
Clearly, she liked the hotel’s morning spread.Â
Besides, Megan planned to stay close to Aurora.Â
If anything did happen, she’d be the first to notice.Â
And if things really went wrong, she could always reach out to her cousin for help.Â
After all, this was her best friend–how could she possibly sit back and watch Aurora get hurt?Â
After breakfast, Aurora was completely at ease, not giving the matter another thought. But on the way to the studio, Megan couldn’t hide her worry.Â
Aurora glanced over at her, amused by her anxious expression.Â
She reached out and gently pinched Megan’s soft cheek. “What’s with that face? You look like a grumpy old lady first thing in the morning.”Â
“I’m just worried about you,” Megan said with a small pout.Â
Aurora chuckled and didn’t take it too seriously, but her heart warmed seeing how much Megan cared.Â
“Relax. Everything’s fine. Besides, we’re still filming the show. She’s not going to stir up trouble while the cameras are still rolling. That would only hurt her own reputation.”Â
Megan knew that was true, but deep down she couldn’t shake the feeling that Yvonne wasn’t the type to care about her image.Â
She had seen firsthand how terrifying that woman’s fanbase could be–vicious and obsessive.Â

And the moment Yvonne gave the slightest cue, they’d go on the attack as if someone had just unchained them.Â
