"You and Simona have been roommates for a semester. Why don't you trust her and instead believe that video of Laura?"

When I returned to the dormitory, I happened to see Vivien, who came to the dormitory to find me. She was arguing with my roommate.

I walked up to her and held her hand. "Okay, don't waste your time talking to them. I have something to tell you."

"Don't you think about how good Simona was to you before?"

Vivien was still talking when I quickly pulled her out of the dormitory.

I took her to the corner at the end of the corridor and told her everything that happened during the midnight snack.

Vivien was even angrier than me, the person involved, and punched the wall hard.

"Jordan is such a jerk! All these are because of him!"

After venting her anger, she couldn't stop laughing. Her expression changed in an instant.

"Simona, you are so mean. You deliberately let Marco know about this."

I smiled, "Of course. Now, I need to think carefully about how to clarify everything."

Vivien and I discussed it for a long time. After returning to the dormitory, I wrote a clarification letter on my bed, including everything that had happened since Laura kicked me out of the group chat.

I finally finished writing it at midnight. I had insomnia the day before and was exhausted from shopping during the day. I fell asleep right after posting the clarification video.

I had no classes the next day, so I slept in. I woke up and turned on my phone to find that clarification video had over one hundred thousand views.

The comments section was divided into two camps. It was clear that there were still quite a few people who didn't believe me.

[Really? There is actually a reversal?!]

[I have never criticized the young lady, which beats 99% of netizens.]

[She said these. Is there any evidence? Why should we believe her without evidence?]

It was easy to show evidence. My phone camera was full of evidence. But at the moment I was hungry and just wanted to ask Vivien to go to the canteen for dinner.

After a quick wash, I went to the cafeteria with Vivien from the next dormitory with a bare face.

I didn’t know if it was an illusion. I felt my classmates were talking about me all the way.

"Simona, the person you least want to see is here." Vivien pulled my sleeve.

I looked in the direction she pointed and saw that Laura and Jordan were sitting face to face eating.

The two seemed to have some dispute. Jordan threw his fork angrily, and Laura rubbed her eyes in grievance.

"What happened?" Vivien enjoyed watching the fun.

"They just had a quarrel. Let it go." I was mean.

Not wanting to get involved in their business, I pulled Vivien and found a seat far away from them to eat.

A bright light flashed before my eyes, and an unremarkable girl took a picture of me with her cell phone.

"Oh, you must be the heroine in Laura's video. Look how different you are from the photo you posted. It's amazing!"

After saying that, she walked away.

I finished my food with a confused look on my face, having no idea what was going on with that person.

After a long time, Vivien was the first to react. "That person is crazy. Why don't you scold her?"

"I didn't expect that..." I muttered.

"Well, your face without makeup is going to be exposed." Vivien held her forehead.

"It's okay. I don't care!" I patted my chest.

"I care. She just took a picture of you and included me in it!"

Vivien rolled her eyes.

Well...

After eating, we both took out our phones to watch videos, and unexpectedly, we saw that the video of Laura being punished by standing was popular again, which was posted by someone unknown.

Judging from the video angle, the person shooting the video seemed to be the girl sitting in the front.

"Who is this? What's wrong with him?"

Vivien angrily clicked on that person’s homepage, and the latest video turned out to be a photo of me without makeup!

I was showered with abuse.

[This woman clarified, but she didn't produce any evidence. She also said that her boyfriend had sent Laura to the hotel and they had stayed together for the whole night!]

[That's right. As a girl, it's awful to make up dirty rumors about other girls!]

[She looks really pretty in the photos she posted. I didn’t expect her face to be so ordinary. She should open a class to teach how to put on makeup! ]

[Do you dare to learn what she teaches? She is such a person...]

[The video of the punishment was released. This woman should also produce some evidence!]

"What should I do?" Vivien was even more anxious than me and was flipping through the comments a little frantically.

I was not panicked. After all, I was the one who kept evidence. Laura and the others would be surprised that I kept evidence.

At this time, my private messages were met with overwhelming insults. And there were even sexual harassment messages from boys from the university.

I sneered, thinking that I had to break into this internet circle.

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.

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.
