On second thought, everyone realized there were a lot of suspicious things.

Never mind that many were new accounts; most importantly, their registration dates were all listed as today.

And these haters’ comments were incredibly inflammatory.

A scientist starring in a TV drama—the very idea would probably rub a lot of people the wrong way.

The haters seized on this very point, aggressively pushing the narrative.

[Is she getting in someone’s way? LMAO, if she really wanted to break into the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t have to do it like this, right?]

[I can understand everyone’s surprise. After all, the two careers are completely unrelated. But I’ve seen her old posts, and it felt like her world was nothing but studying, which made my heart ache for her a little. The fact that she’s acting now proves she likes it and has found a hobby. Whether as a neutral observer or a fan, I support her.]

[Aww, now that you put it that way, I really do think her life must have been so monotonous. Compared to her, I feel like a total loser.]

On Weibo, the topic about Chloe Sinclair’s acting debut broke a billion views and was already in the top three on the trending list.

Chloe Sinclair scrolled through the comments for a long time, her expression unchanging.

"Master, I’ve looked into it for you. The most active hater accounts were all hired by Nina Sinclair."

"I know."

Chloe Sinclair truly hadn’t expected to be the target of a smear campaign.

But after scrolling through the comments for so long, she had a pretty good idea who was behind it.

"Then... regarding the online comments, should I automatically block them for you?"

When Chloe Sinclair heard this, she was silent for a long time.

Finally, she answered slowly, "No."

She paused, her gaze lowered. "Don’t block them. I owe everyone an explanation for entering the entertainment industry."

Now it was Eight’s turn to be silent.

Just when Chloe Sinclair thought Eight had gone quiet again, it suddenly spoke, "I’m sorry."

"What’s wrong?"

The sudden apology confused Chloe Sinclair.

"If I hadn’t suggested you enter the entertainment industry, you wouldn’t be getting attacked by strangers online today."

Eight truly regretted this.

Before, all he could think about was reputation value. He’d never once considered Chloe Sinclair’s own circumstances.

Seeing Eight in the system interface, Chloe Sinclair’s mood instantly brightened. She let out a small laugh and said lightly, "What are you thinking about? I’m the one who decided to enter the entertainment industry. What does it have to do with you?"

Eight still looked utterly dejected. Its head swiveled a hundred and eighty degrees, and you could just imagine how upset it was from the loud CREAKING sound it made.

Chloe Sinclair knew she couldn’t reason with it, so she exited the system interface, picked up her phone, and started typing.

In truth, she could understand the online skepticism.

A physicist, suddenly taking up acting.

Anyone would think it was absurd.

Chloe Sinclair didn’t want to be irresponsible to her fans, so she composed a long post.

At 3:00 PM sharp, Chloe Sinclair published it.

InvincibleChloeSinclair: [First, thank you to my fans for all the support. I want to clear a few things up for everyone. 1. I got the role in *Rivers and Mountains* by a stroke of luck. 2. I’ll consider acting in the future if the right script comes along, but my research is my number one priority. It will not be delayed by acting.]

No one expected Chloe Sinclair to respond so quickly.

However, before her fans even had a chance to rejoice, the haters were the first to flood the comments.
