Chapter 7
I replied to him with a question mark, not understanding what he meant.
In my opinion, all these matters were instigated by their family. Doesn’t he find it ridiculous to say such things now?
Noah seemed to have ignored my silence and instead seized the opportunity to brainwash me.
“Lina, we are not young anymore, and it hasn’t been easy for us to come this far. I really don’t want us to end up as a tragedy in the end.”
“I had a good talk with my mom, and she agreed that as long as you are willing to return the 288,800 dollars to help my dad with his treatment, she will forgive you and still consider you as her daughter–in–law. We can also say that the online incident was just a misunderstanding.”
“Even if these 280,000 dollars is really not taken by you, can you please first cover the hole in my father’s surgery expenses?”
I heard that Aunt still has some savings. Can you talk to Aunt and consider it, just for me?
I was almost laughed at by Noah’s shamelessness, and I replied firmly, “No way,” and blocked him.
Over the next few days, I truly experienced the power of online bullying.
Many of my friends and Noah’s friends blocked me, and quite a few made fun of me on Instagram,
taking the opportunity to step on me.
Every day, there were countless harassing phone calls and abusive text messages. My photos and videos were maliciously edited. They gave me derogatory nicknames, and as a result, I lost my job
and didn’t even dare to leave the house.
I felt like a trapped beast, surrounded by malice from all sides, unable to escape.
My mother looked at my haggard face and tears fell from her eyes, full of heartache.
“Lina, let’s just forget it. Let’s consider the 288,800 dollars as our loss and stop bothering about
it.”
I gritted my teeth and shook my head.
“No, this money wasn’t stolen by us, why should we take the blame?”
I didn’t sleep for three days and three nights, trying to find a turning point in the clues, and finally found a lead.
The account that initially posted the wedding day video had Noah’s alternate account in its -followers list. Following that alternate account, I found his another social media platform account.
He had posted on that account before.
Chapter 7
What should I do if my father got sick and we don’t have money for treatment? Can I loan money to my girlfriend for the purpose of transferring it as a dowry, and then ask her to pay it back?
And the time of posting was exactly one month before he proposed to me.
I trembled as I took a screenshot of this evidence and submitted it to the police. All I had to do next was wait for the police to follow this lead and investigate.
With the clue in hand, the police quickly traced the truth of the matter.
The moment the announcement with blue background and white text was released, public opinion instantly reversed,
I went from being the target of public criticism and being called a “womanizer” to suddenly becoming a victim of betrayal.
Noah and his mother also became the targets of a new round of public criticism.
The anger of the masses, after being deceived, was fully vented on them.
Noah was fired by the company and he was constantly being pointed at when he went out.
His home address was exposed, the front door was painted with oil, and the word “scumbag” was written in bright red on the door.
Every day, there were countless abusive text messages and phone calls, and even people ordering takeout to send wreaths and candles.
