The Crown Film Awards were broadcasting live across the nation. A-list superstar Edward Grant was just about to accept his trophy when the massive LED screen behind him suddenly cut to static. A second later, a chubby-cheeked little boy, the absolute spitting image of Edward, filled the entire display. Wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, the boy pointed a tiny finger directly at the camera and spoke in a sweet voice. "Mr. Edward Grant, you abandoned my mommy five years ago... Wait, that's not right. My mommy left you because you were terrible in bed. "I hereby notify you: Your trophy is now mine. It'll make a perfect nutcracker." The entire venue fell dead silent. Three seconds later, social media servers crashed across the country. Hashtags like [Edward Grant's Secret Son] and [Edward Grant's Terrible In Bed] instantly exploded to the top of the trending charts. Down in the audience, struggling D-list actress Sophia Miller buried her face in her hands, praying for the floor to swallow her whole. But a spotlight had already locked dead onto her. Edward strode toward her, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. Backing her into a corner, he leaned in close. "Terrible?" he murmured. "Looks like I'll just have to give you a hands-on demonstration to clear my name. And I'm going to track down that little walnut-cracking hacker and give him a much-needed spanking."
