"NO!!!" Director Brad screamed.
Brad and the entire crew erupted into howls of despair.
In the next second, the livestream was abruptly taken down.
A broadcast with over a hundred million viewers—gone in an instant.
The last frame before the screen went black showed Emily saying, "Yeah, he went to prison afterward, but before that, he made a quick trip to the proctology department. You should have heard his screams—they sounded just like Director Brad's right now."
Absolute chaos!
The production team quickly posted on Twitter to reassure viewers that the stream was only suspended for five minutes and would resume shortly.
But in those five minutes, social media exploded.
**@CuteGirlComing:** Fun fact: don't stab Emily—she'll genuinely stab you back where the sun doesn't shine
**@SadGuyExploding:** Is that guy even okay now?
**@AAALevel10Welder:** Am I the only one who found that satisfying? Crazy stalkers deserve exactly that kind of treatment!
**@CherryLittleFinished:** She can't be canceled! Try to cancel other celebrities and they might get depressed or jump off buildings. Try to cancel Emily and she'll send you to a proctologist!
**@YouLikeSisHusband:** Emily is a legend! Bringing some real shock value to this bland entertainment industry!
**@EvilCharmingDude:** Wait, Emily actually has fans now?! Fine, I admit it—I'm one too. Queen Emily rules!!
**@HorseDamnIt:** The internet has officially lost its mind
The livestream quickly resumed with even more viewers than before, the show's popularity soaring to unprecedented heights.
Director Brad, too terrified to continue with the previous topic, hastily announced the game's conclusion. The losers, Mike and Jason, would be responsible for preparing dinner, while everyone else was free to explore the villa.
Mike and Jason headed out to shop for groceries.
Since rooms hadn't been assigned yet, the remaining contestants were confined to the common areas.
Emily sat gazing at the sky, lost in thought.
Why hadn't Tyler joined the dating show? And who was this Kevin character?
Had her presence created some butterfly effect that changed the original storyline?
...Whatever.
She would continue being herself, and leave the rest to fate.
"Emily! Emily!!" Someone was shouting for her from below, their voice growing hoarse.
Emily poked her head out from the roof's edge. "Looking for me?"
"Good Lord!"
The assistant director clutched his heart in shock, then gasped again when he realized where Emily was. "Emily, when did you climb onto the roof?!"
No wonder they couldn't find her anywhere in the house—was she part monkey?
Emily had a blade of grass between her teeth and claimed she was "admiring the moon."
The assistant director glanced up at the clear blue sky and white clouds.
Yeah, and I'm the moon.
The production team urgently deployed a drone to get Emily back on camera.
**@WTF!ThereEmilsIs??**
**@IWonderWhereEmilyWent—SheClimbedOntoTheRoof?!**
**@That'sAThree-StoryMansion!!**
**@How...DidSheEvenGetUpThere?**
"Emily! Come down, please! I need to talk to you!" the assistant director shouted, straining his voice.
"Just tell me from there. Coming down is such a hassle," Emily refused.
The assistant director looked embarrassed, stammering, "Well... just come down, please! It's not something I can shout about!"
Emily loved being difficult. "No."
The assistant director paced anxiously, unable to persuade her, and finally attempted to speak quietly, "You have a mission..."
"Speak up, can't hear you."
The assistant director gritted his teeth and raised his voice slightly. "You have a mission..."
"Still can't hear."
"YOU HAVE A HIDDEN MISSION!!!"
His bellow was so loud the entire world heard it.
**@Great,NowEveryoneKnowsEmilyHasAHiddenMission**
**@LMAO,HowDoesSheMakeEverythingSoDramatic**
Emily suddenly remembered—there was indeed such a segment in the original story.
After the finger-folding game, each contestant would receive a hidden mission. Whoever completed their mission would get first choice of bedrooms.
That was no small advantage.
"Emily, your hidden mission is to feed cookies to three male contestants before 9 PM tonight, without them realizing you're completing a task."
In the small production room, Emily received her assignment.
What a dramatic mission.
Feeding people on the first day of meeting was one thing, but everyone knew her relationship with Ethan was terrible. How would Ethan ever accept food from her?
This was clearly designed to target her.
"OK!" Emily agreed cheerfully.
Wilson women never backed down from a challenge.

**@ICanAlreadyImagineHowEmbarrassingThisWillBeForHer**
At four in the afternoon, Mike and Jason returned from shopping.
Mike had barely stepped through the door when a dark shadow flew toward him.
"Here comes the airplane—"
That familiar feeling!
Suddenly transported back to his infancy, sitting in a high chair and refusing to eat as his father approached with a spoonful of baby food, Mike instinctively opened his mouth...
His father had used those exact words: "Here comes the airplane—"
Mmmm!
Mike swallowed the bite, eyes closed, savoring it with nostalgic pleasure.
"Mike... Mike?" Jason's trembling voice reached his ears.
Mike opened his eyes in confusion, only to find Jason staring at him in horror.
What was he so shocked about? It was just a bite of baby food...
Wait!!
Baby! Food?!!
Mike whipped his head around and came face-to-face with Emily's motherly smile.
"Good boy, eat up. Daddy will feed you more next time."
Mike: "?!!!"
He had actually eaten something Emily fed him?!
He needed to get his stomach pumped immediately!!
The comment section exploded with shock.
**@Wait,MikeActuallyRespondedLikeThat?**
**@IThoughtHeWasJokingButHeGenuinelyTreatsEmilyLikeHisDad**
**@IsEmilySome...PaternalFemaleCelebrity?**
**@ThatFeedingSequenceWasSoSmoothIActuallyBelievedTheyWereFatherAndSon**

The hashtag #EmilyPlayingDaddy shot to the top of trending topics.
Many curious netizens initially thought Emily had been exposed for a pregnancy scandal and rushed to the show expecting juicy gossip.
What they found instead...
She was literally playing daddy.
Well, well, well—they might not watch normal reality shows, but one this unhinged deserved their full attention.
Mission progress: 1/3.
Emily carried a plate of cookies from the kitchen and headed straight for the second-floor study.
Kevin seemed like the easiest target to trick, so she'd start with him.
Meanwhile, in the first-floor garden.
Ethan and Jessica were putting on a show of togetherness, sweetly watering plants side by side.
Suddenly, Ethan caught a glimpse through the second-floor window.
Emily and Kevin were alone inside. And they were...?
BANG!
Ethan slammed the watering can on the table. "It's getting late and chilly out here. Why don't we go to the study and rest for a bit?"
