The trial quickly became a hot topic online, with public opinion overwhelmingly favoring the plaintiff, leaving me the target of relentless online attacks.
When I returned to the small restaurant, the landlady glared at me, her voice sharp. “Get out! I’m through with you!”
She hurled my belongings into the street.
“Saige, I took pity on you when you were homeless. I brought you in to work for me. I fed you and gave you a roof over your head. But to think you could be so cruel!”
She shook her head in disbelief and added, “You’ve bullied your own family, scheming to drive your sister to her end. I must have been blind to take you in. Here’s your wages for the past few days. Now, get as far away from here as you can!”
Tears welled in my eyes, and I didn’t dare to explain further.
No matter how miserable it was, I could only swallow it down.
This world had left no room for me.
As I quietly gathered my scattered clothes from the ground, people pointed and whispered amongst themselves.
“Isn’t that the girl who bullied her sister and faced her parents in court?”
“Yeah, it’s her; the story has already gone viral online.”
