Fortunately, I had foresight. I used to dine often at my family’s restaurant and always requested a private room with surveillance.
I called the manager, had them extract the video of the four of us eating out together, and posted it to our class group chat.
"You want to know why we stopped inviting her? Watch the footage and see for yourselves."
With that, I left with my roommates.
By the time we arrived at the salon, the class group was in chaos.
【Wow, how can someone be so proud while freeloading? She’s shameless.】
【Don’t blame Celeste and the others. If I were them, I’d avoid her too.】
As the backlash grew, Scarlet posted a crying emoji, claiming I held a grudge and that the video was fake.
But no one was buying it.
People aren’t fools.
In a panic, she began bombarding me with messages, begging me to clarify.
Ethan also joined in, flooding my inbox with self-righteous demands.
【Celeste, I’m so disappointed in you. Isn’t this just a little misunderstanding? Did you really have to slander Scarlet like that?】
【You hurt her. You need to apologize, return the 300,000, and transfer another 100,000 as compensation. Otherwise, I really won’t forgive you, and we’ll never get back together again.】
