Chapter 8

Vivien and I went to the library and edited the evidence video together.

From the screenshot of Laura kicking me out of the group chat, to the chat record in which she said she would treat me to apologize, to the photo of Jordan’s bike parked downstairs of the hotel, and then the video of the two of them returning to university from the hotel the next day.

I dealt with them all in at once.

"Insert this audio clip as well!" Vivien handed me the phone.

When I turned on the recording, I heard a burst of noise in the classroom and then Laura's voice.

"Simona, can I sit down?"

...

The recording also recorded Jordan's words asking Laura to sit in the front and the teacher asking Laura to stand in the corner as punishment.

"Awesome. Vivien, you did these! You are so great! With this recording, there's absolutely no suspense!"

I patted Vivien's shoulder solemnly and said loudly.

I actually forgot that I was in the library. Realizing my impoliteness, I quickly lowered my head.

Unexpectedly, this attracted Marco who was studying not far away. After knowing that I was recording a clarification video, he proposed to speak for me.

"Hello, everyone. I am the monitor of Laura and Simona's class. Last night, Jordan took Simona and his friends from the basketball team to have a midnight snack, but he left halfway through the meal and asked Simona to pay for it.

"Simona didn't have that much money at the time, so she borrowed 500 dollars from me and promised to pay me back soon. Today is the second day, and Simona has already paid me back.

"Through this incident, I guess I don't need to say much about Simona's character. As for Jordan's character, I believe I don't need to say much either."

This was so touching.

The reason I paid back the money so quickly was simply because I never needed the money!

With Marco’s voice, this clarification video was persuasive!

As soon as the edited video was released, it became popular. And the comments section finally support me.

I believed that with such rigorous and thorough evidence, no one would refute anything.

Unexpectedly, the account that posted the photo of me without makeup left a message. [She prepared so much evidence before anything happened. Who knows what their intention was?]

I was not afraid at all and replied directly. [I have suffered losses before, so I have learned my lesson and developed a good habit of keeping evidence.]

The netizens all supported me.

[Oh my god, girl. I’m sorry for wronging you. I apologize for the negative comments I made towards you before!]

[Girl, I am guilty, and I apologize, but can you teach me how to put on makeup? I want the makeup tutorial in the third video on your homepage! It’s so beautiful!]

[I want the same makeup tutorial! And she is not ugly even without makeup. It’s evident that the person deliberately took the photo from an ugly angle!]

[That’s right. Even with such a deadly angle, the girl is still pretty!]

[Oh my god. She's so sober. The heroine of the novel has traveled into reality!]

[Great! Slap the scumbag and the bitch in the face!]

The video had been viewed over a million times, with over half a million likes, and had gained me, an amateur, an additional one hundred thousand followers!

I knew I had to break into this internet circle.

The next second, my cell phone rang.

As soon as the call was connected, Jordan's anxious voice sounded.

"Simona, why don't you delete the video quickly! Many netizens have found my account, and even our classmates have privately messaged me to curse me. It's terrible!"

I smiled, thinking of how he turned a blind eye to what happened to me last night.

At that time, I said aggrievedly that netizens blamed me. What did he say?

He said it would be fine after and said he didn’t understand the relationships between girls and didn’t want to get involved.

Now that our positions had been reversed. Should I give him back the same thing he gave me?

"Simona, what's wrong?" Marco gave me a concerned look.

I pretended to be wronged. "Nothing. It's just that Jordan was scolded. He asked me to delete the video..."

"This video can't be deleted! The matter was finally cleared up! Jordan is such a jerk! He deserves to be scolded! Come on, give me his phone number!"

Without waiting for my consent, Marco snatched my phone away. Vivien and I smiled at each other.

After talking for nearly half an hour with Marco, Jordan hung up the phone.

Chapter 9

When I returned to the dormitory, my roommates' attitude towards me changed.

The dormitory head held my hand affectionately and said, "I'm sorry for having wronged you these days. I know you are not that kind of person!"

My roommate said, "Finally, the matter was cleared up.! Simona, why don't you take out the skin care products you brought us that day and share them with us!"

I shook off the dormitory head's hand and said coldly.

"You don't deserve my kindness to you."

After saying that, I moved into the dormitory next door with my luggage.

I applied for this with my tutor in advance. She had also heard about the recent incident involving Laura and Marco's narration, she concluded that this incident had a huge impact on me.

Therefore, she agreed to let me move to the dormitory next door and live with Vivien, thinking that this would bring me some comfort.

"Welcome to the new dormitory!"

Vivien and her roommates held a simple but sincere welcome ceremony for me. The sequins from the salute fell all over my head.

I felt like I was welcoming a new life at this moment.

Two months later, I took advantage of the popularity brought to me by Laura and developed my video account.

Now I was an internet celebrity with half million followers and was honored to be included in the university's admission brochure.

"Sure enough, all the money in this world goes to those who don't need it."

Vivien was lying on a chair with her legs crossed and eating potato chips. Next to her were piles of cosmetics, all of which were trial packs sent to me by the brands.

"You have a share of this wealth." I shook my head proudly.

My roommate brought us food and some exciting news.

"Do you know that Laura's mother came to university and made a fuss a few days ago?"

"Why? Why?" Vivien jumped up from the recliner instantly upon hearing the news.

"Laura is pregnant! Her mother is furious!" My roommate put the tables in the dormitory together and started to prepare lunch.

"Oh my god! Could it be that she and Jordan..." I covered my mouth in surprise.

"You are right. Jordan's parents are here too. After mediation, the parents decided to let them get married!" My roommate said.

"Well, this time, they will finally be together for good." Vivien suddenly put her face close to me. "But does Jordan still owe you five hundred dollars?"

I burst out laughing. "Just think of it as a gift for their wedding."

I didn’t expect that the series of events caused by Laura would allow me to achieve financial independence even though I hadn’t graduated yet.

And I actually felt a little sorry for her. She tried her best to please such a man.

We could even foresee that their future life may be a mess.

I wondered if she would feel regretful when she woke up in the middle of the night a few years later.
