No matter what, I had to get the bracelet back first before anything terrible happened to her.

But Nora didn't return to the dormitory all night, and none of our roommates could get in touch with her.

I just sent her a message.

Emily: [Nora, what you are wearing is the lucky bracelet that was linked to me with a spell. It will indeed bring bad luck to any other wearer than me. I didn't mean to scare you because what I said was all true. Please return it to me now. Otherwise I can't help you if something bad really happens.]

But unexpectedly, neither did Nora return it nor was she willing to receive my messages again.

The next day, at noon, I finally managed to see Riley at the entrance of the teaching building.

Without further ado, I directly showed him the photos from Nora's Instagram.

Being stunned for a moment, he still refused to surrender.

He said, "Emily, I don't know what you mean with this photo, but she is merely a friend of mine. Besides, every bracelet looks like that. Isn't it too suspicious for you to accuse me with a blurry photo?"

I rolled my eyes and clicked the video Susan sent to me.

Riley's face was visibly pale.

"Why did you spy on my life? I just celebrated her birthday! There were other people at her birthday party, and you can't prove I cheated on you with a single photo," he said.

I laughed. "I wonder whether you can still be so confident after watching the whole video."

At the end of the video, Nora kissed him on the face as if no one was around, and he did not avoid it but hugged her tightly in his arms.

As the video approached its end, Riley fell dead silent.

However, Nora suddenly appeared and stood in front of him. "Emily, don't think you can do whatever you want with your money. If Riley had been unable to pay the tuition, he wouldn't have been with an ugly bitch like you."

"I'm telling you, his true love is me. He endured the disgust and stayed with you for two years. For two years, to please you, he has lived like a slave. Isn't that enough? Now you are embarrassing him in public. You are going too far," she added.

Riley hurried to stop her from blurting out his true intention, but Nora spoke even louder.

I looked at him with disappointment on my face.

"Riley, do you really think so?" I asked.

Without responding to me, Riley might just want to save face for himself in front of Nora.

I snorted coldly. "In that case, I'll break up with you."

I hired a lawyer and got back all the money I had spent on him in the past two years.

Since he didn't have so much money to repay my debt, he probably begged Nora to use the money she got from the SuperChats.

But even though she helped him pay back all the money, she didn't return my lucky bracelet.

After I waited in the dorm for a week, Nora still didn't come back.

I had no choice but to wait in the dance classroom, and finally, I saw Nora, who had just finished class.

She was still wearing my lucky bracelet.

Maybe it was out of illusion, I surprisedly found the emerald turned a little cloudy.

Facing my question, Nora was not at all flustered.

She raised her wrist and showed it off to me proudly.

"You're right. Riley sent me this bracelet as my birthday gift. Oh, by the way, he also gave himself to me, and we are already living together."

"I just don't want to give it back to you. What can you do? Do you have any proof that it belongs to you?" After saying that, Nora laughed triumphantly.

I clenched my teeth with rage.

"Nora, we used to be roommates, and I don't want to see you end up in some miserable situation. Before everything is too late, give it back to me!" I said.

Nora wore that arrogant smile.

"This bracelet is bought by my boyfriend. I have the receipt and invoice. How can you say it's yours without any proof?" As she spoke, she took out the receipt from her bag and waved it in front of me.

It seemed that she was determined not to return my bracelet.

Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, I asked her after a momentary silence.

I said, "Nora, it's my last warning. Anyone else except its real owner wears it will be stranded in bad luck. Please return it to me now."

Nora rolled her eyes. "What's your problem? If you curse me like this again, I will call the police."

Since she insists on keeping things that don't belong to her, there was nothing I could say.

Nora was a dance streamer with one hundred thousand fans. Usually, in addition to dancing for her sponsors and asking for SuperChats, she also shared her daily life while streaming.

That night, I opened TikTok and happened to see her talking about the bracelet with chats.

"My roommate might suffer delusions. She insists that I took her bracelet. It's clearly a gift from my friend, and I even have the receipt. But she claimed that it's her lucky bracelet that will bring bad luck to me..." she said.

Her audience were all irritated by what this slender young girl had suffered and all began to comfort her by cursing me.

Netizen A: [Nora, your roommate may target your bracelet. You'd better be careful in case she will steal it.]

Netizen B: [It's so funny. She thought the police would do nothing about that?]

Netizen C: [Maybe she is just a lunatic. Some girls nowadays are just vain and materialistic.]

Among these comments, there was one that was particularly different.

Netizen D: [What your roommate said was true, girl. If it is not yours, you'd better return it to its real owner so as to dispel the bad luck that is coming to you now.]

If I were Nora, I would probably suspect that this comment was posted by me.

But I really didn't do anything.

Her fans were all discontented about this comment.

Netizen A: [Nora, is this your roommate with delusional disorder? I can't believe she pesters you while you're streaming. This is too scary. Just call the police.]

Netizen B: [That's right. Maybe she is a psycho.]

Nora pretended to be frightened. "Thank you, guys. I will call the police as soon as I end the live stream today."

The next time I saw Riley and Nora was in the school cafeteria.

Riley was carefully helping Nora peel the shrimp shells, then put the shrimp meat into Nora's plate with a doting look on his face.

I remembered he did the exact same thing when we just started dating.

He pampered me like a child.

At that time, I was sure that he was the person I wanted to spend my whole life with.

But three months later, he was no longer so careful and considerate to me.

I happened to get my finger injured, and the doctor told me not to touch water for a week.

The impatient expression on his face was so clearly engraved in my brain when I asked him to peel an orange for me.

"My hands are for playing the violin. What if I get hurt peeling an orange?"

But he seemed to have forgotten that his violin, worth 200 thousand dollars, was a birthday gift I bought for him.

I realized maybe he had been cheating on me with Nora at that time.

My appearance didn't frighten her at all. Instead, she deliberately put the shrimp into her mouth gracefully, with a showing-off look on her face.

"The one who is not loved is the mistress. Someone just thinks she can buy everything, but she doesn't know she can't buy true love no matter how rich she is.

While saying that, Nora deliberately swung the emerald bracelet on her wrist.

She was showing off to me that even if the bracelet on her wrist was mine, I still couldn't do anything to her, just like I had no choice but to give up when she stole my man.

Looking at them, I suddenly felt a little sick.

I really wanted to persuade her again to give the bracelet back for her safety. However, since she was so determined to incur the curse, the only thing I could do was to respect her choice.

Besides, I also wanted to see how unlucky she could be after breaking the mysterious rule of this bracelet.
