Before Liam left, he got my contact and said
he would keep the school investigating, to get
me justice.
I thanked him sincerely, and said I’d treat him
to dinner if it was successful.
After all, he was the only one who helped me,
who believed in me.
L
He was so famous, he could have just ignored
it, but he stood up for someone that he didn’t
even know.
He was a good person.
As soon as I was back in the dorm, my
my
roommates asked me what happened.
Because the live stream cut off when I
stepped up to the stage.
And all the posts in the campus forum were
about me.
They were all asking what happened.
“I don’t have any evidence to prove it.”
It’s so funny, the victim has to prove their
<
innocence.
Liu Yan rummaged through the room and
found my manuscript. “The manuscript is
right here. Take it!”
I shook my head. “It’s useless, Jake gave that
to her too.”
Before they could cuss more, a girl came
knocking at our door, saying that Jake was
waiting for me downstairs.
“Tell him to get lost!”
Liu Yan yelled and slammed the door shut.
I was so tired.
I had blocked Jake’s contact.
<
He realized I was serious, so he was trying to
come back.
But I didn’t expect him to find my parents.
My mom called me and asked if Jake and I
had a fight.
I nodded and shook my head. I was so down.
“Did he bully you?”
My mom yelled, and I started crying again, I
just couldn’t speak.
She tried to comfort me, and then said,
“Chloe, you’re old enough, make your own
decisions, and don’t worry too much. Your
parents will always stand by your side.”
く
I don’t know what Jake told my parents, but I
thought they’d start yelling at me.
After all, our families were going to set up a
marriage. Our companies were in business
together.
I didn’t want to destroy the balance.
My company had been depending on the Xu family since high school.
So everyone thought that I would marry Jake
one day.
But now, I didn’t want to, I didn’t even want
to see him.

I got a notification on my phone.
I clicked on my “Songwriter” app.
I had found this app on the forum.
I thought it was pretty good, I even got a
teacher from there.
I only know that he was a talented songwriter,
didn’t know if they were a he or a she, and
didn’t know their age.
Their username was K and their profile
picture was blank.
But, he was patient, he would answer
whatever I asked.
<
Of course, he never looked for me first.
But today, he sent me a message.
[You there?]
Usually, I was so energetic, when he would
talk to me, I’d act all hyper, send him a bunch
of emojis and chat with him.
But today, I wasn’t in the mood. I just replied
with a question mark.
He replied right away, [Not happy? What’s wrong?]
I thought about it, and told him about today.
He didn’t reply.
L
Maybe, he thought I was an idiot. For liking a
scumbag like that.
When we first talked about the song, he had
asked me what the point was.
Why was I learning to write songs.
At that time, my love for Jake was endless. I
kept thinking about his reaction, I thought he
would be moved.
K scoffed, [He won’t be moved, you’re going
to waste your time and end up looking like a
clown.]
He was right, I was immediately typing, [You
were right, teacher. He is a scumbag and I am
a clown!]
<
It was so hard to admit that I was a fool, I
started to cry again.
But then, the chat box filled with a bunch of
pictures.
All the chat history and audio demos from
before.
They all had dates on them, a month earlier
than the demos that Tiffany had given.
[Just spent some time recovering the chat.
history, this might help you.]
[!]
I immediately video called Liam.
He answered right away.
“What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Sterling, I have the proof.”
