Brenda persistently reminded Elva to notify her of the fan meeting time.

With a joyful smile, Brenda commended, "A Fond Dream is truly remarkable. After just two episodes, the views have already surpassed 100, @@0. Tess is bound to lose."

Elva bid her farewell with an awkward smile.

True to Brenda's words, the viewership of A Single Mother's Life continued to rise.

When Tess discovered that the drama was available on Primary Videos, she was taken aback. However, confident that netizens would find her soap opera better after comparison, she believed victory was assured.

To her astonishment, A Single Mother's Life dominated Twitter trends the following evening.

Netizens engaged in intense discussions, comparing the two soap operas.

Tess eagerly opened the discussions tab, anticipating validation.

However, she closed the browser with an irritated expression.

"A Single Mother's Life is somewhat average, not as exceptional as anticipated. Ha-ha... I revisited it multiple times. I'm enamored with Effie's portrayal and attire in the drama though. It's truly remarkable!"

“Are you all just trolls? I fail to comprehend how wonderful the drama is. Phew!"

“Hey, you there! I perused your homepage and observed that all your posts are critical of A Single Mother's Life. You must be one of those trolls. Bah!"

"Goodness! Who on earth claimed that A Single Mother's Life was subpar? I re-watched the initial two episodes last night. Why hasn't the drama been updated yet? Time seems to crawl."

“I completely forgot to catch Tess' soap opera last night... Argh!"

“What? You just reminded me. I did too."

“Frankly, I believe Effie's performance outshines Tess'. Her character feels more genuine and evocative."

“I couldn't agree with you more. I share the same sentiment."

Tess switched to play A Single Mother's Life. In her perspective, those praising it online were likely paid trolls. She aimed to ascertain the true quality of A Single Mother's Life.

Just then, Marlene entered the house.

"Are you engrossed in a soap opera, Mom?"

"Yes. Join me."

Marlene settled beside her and they began watching.

Time elapsed quietly. They remained oblivious to it until a maid informed them that dinner was served.

Unbeknownst to them, they had binge-watched the initial four episodes.
