Harvard immediately uploaded the video.
He was strategic about it, uploading the video of the corpse dragging her mother into the water first.
“The Full Story: Part One – Drowned Girl Goes Wild, Drags Mother Underwater!”
True to his expectations, the video exploded within half an hour of being uploaded!
Netizens were terrified.
“Wow, that’s a clear video. I just got scared out of my wits! I even saw how pale that girl’s face was!”
“I believe in kindness, grace, love, trust, the law, my country… I’m so sorry I watched this. Please watch over me, God, and protect my family from harm…”
Some even quoted religious texts.
Of course, there were also skeptics:
“That’s such a clear video. Was it edited in post? LOL, I can’t believe people are falling for this nonsense.”
“It must be edited. I’m willing to bet my life savings on it.”
The incessant ringing of Harvard’s phone was like sweet music to his ears.
His video was among the top searches and had garnered over five million views in just thirty minutes.
This was only the beginning!
Harvard took the opportunity to upload a second video:
“The Full Story: Part Two – Man Sneaks Down To River, And Someone Calls For Help Right After That… Drowned Girl Fakes Death, Real Or Supernatural?!”
The video was uploaded and instantly attracted a flood of netizens.
“I came across this video because of its quality! This creator is amazing, I’m subscribing!”
“That’s strange, isn’t that little girl Lilly Crawford? What does she have to do with any
of this?”
“That tall man went down to the banyan tree to place the body there, I’m sure of it! Hear me out: he killed this girl and was trying to dispose of the body…. And made it look like there was paranormal activity to divert attention!”
“Uh, that’s kind of ridiculous. Who in the world would dispose of a body with so many people around? Look at all those streamers nearby. Why would he risk getting caught?”
“I don’t think he was disposing of the body, but I’m certain he had something to do with the paranormal activity.”
The discussions became more and more heated as the traction skyrocketed. Harvard rode on Lily and Blake’s borrowed popularity and gained over five hundred thousand subscribers in no time.
He had become one of the biggest creators overnight!
With these new fans, he might not reach millions of views in his future videos, but twenty or thirty thousand likes would certainly be guaranteed. That would be enough for him.
He uploaded the third video.
“The Full Story: Finale – Internet Superstar Lilly Crawford Has No Reaction To Cold Dead Body. Is There More To The Little Girl Who Questioned The Internet In Tears?”
“This video was even more scandalous, containing edited clips of Lilly standing by the riverbank quietly watching. Lilly was just being a good, well-behaved little girl, but was edited to look like a heartless onlooker…”
Lilly had gained a large number of protective, mother-like supporters from her previous viral incident, and they immediately came to her defense upon the release of Harvard’s video.
Of course, there were also people who found her terrifying.
The virality increased even further…
“My, my, Lilly Crawford, you really are my money-maker!” Harvard was more than overwhelmed.
No one in the Crawford family was on social media at that time.
After all, this whole ordeal was considered to be ‘other people’s business’. The Crawfords did not see how Lilly could be connected to all of this.
They were only concerned about Blake now…
The Crawford family crossed their arms, observing the ‘tall lady’ descending the stairs…
Well, she was indeed tall. It was quite a sight to behold, to be honest.
Anthony entered from outside. “The boat’s ready…”
He then saw a crossdressing Blake and had to suppress his laughter.
Was this really the God of Battle he knew?
Blake’s eyelid couldn’t stop twitching. “Darling, how about I find someone else for you to dress up.”
Lilly was already too excited, holding up a few bottles of nail polish. “Sit down, Dad!”
Blake was forced onto the couch.
Lilly held the nail polish, painting all ten of his nails different colors. She even took off his shoes and painted his toenails.
Hugh scowled, tutting loudly. “Absurd.”
Was he really giving in to a child and letting her play with his nails like that?
Edward said, “Yes, but… Lilly can paint his nails if she wants to!”
He didn’t help the situation, only adding to it. “Use the bright pink, Lilly!”
Lilly suddenly turned to Edward.
Edward was annoyed. Sure enough, the little demon said, “Sit down, Fifth Uncle…”
Edward remained silent.
He regretted his initial enthusiasm now.
“I think I’m good…” Edward mumbled. “I don’t have nice fingers…”
Lilly gave him a pitiful stare, puppy eyes and all. “You should do it too, Fifth Uncle!”
Edward reluctantly agreed, “Alright…”
Hugh shook out the newspapers he was holding. “No principles whatsoever…”
And yet, karma came his way. Lilly finished painting Edward’s nails and then turned her eyes to Hugh nearby.
“Which color would you like, Grandpa?”
Hugh remained silent.
He frowned. “I don’t…”
Lilly said, “Grandpa…”
Hugh said, ” …Blue.”
Little girls loved playing like this, dressing up their dolls, styling their hair, painting their nails…
Lilly, deeply engrossed, immediately took out the blue nail polish and painted Hugh’s nails.
Anthony slowly backed away, pretending to answer a call.
Liam suddenly remembered that Hannah needed another page of homework and hurried upstairs.
