Her karma came quickly. One night, Nora was livestreaming her graceful dance to her sponsors when she fell down the stairs accidentally.

Immediately afterwards, she went offline, and I knew something serious had happened to her.

As expected, early the next morning, I saw news about her on the school forum.

Student A: [Have you heard that Nora from the Department of Dance fell from a building during a livestream and was sent to hospital?]

Student B: [Really? Dancers care the most about their appearance. Maybe she'll never be able to dance again in the future.]

Student C: [I don't know, but I heard that her boyfriend had been waiting outside the operating room for twenty-four hours.]

Student D: [Tsk, you're too naive. It's said that the lease of the house they lived in together expired, and her boyfriend couldn't afford the rent, so he went to ask Nora for money in the hospital. I even want to dance like a slut like her to make more pocket money.]

With all sorts of gossip on the school forum, I was too confused to discern which of them were true.

However, it was another roommate of mine, Charlotte Mason, who shared the most accurate gossip with me.

She said that the surgery cost a lot to fix Nora's broken leg. Still, she couldn't dance for so long a while.

When Riley found out, the first thing that came to his mind was not to care about this poor young girl, but was upset because she couldn't make money by live streaming her dance.

They had lived a luxuriant life after messing around with each other, and Nora was the bill-payer all the time.

In order to defeat me, she also tried hard to act tender and generous in front of him.

In fact, it was just her disguise.

While she was resting in the hospital to heal her broken legs in a blue mood, Riley urged her to give him money several times, which irritated her to fight with him in her ward.

Riley was also so angry that he had been cutting classes to spend time playing around with Nora.

But in the end, what was left in their relationship were complaints.

As they quarreled in the hospital like two crazy people, many people recorded their fight and uploaded it on the Internet.

Now, everyone knew that the pure and charming dance streamer Nora actually used her sponsors' money to feed her loser boyfriend.

I wondered what her sponsors would react to this shocking truth.

The model couple in our school had a huge fight today over a few thousand dollars.

Their so-called true love was as frail as paper.

However, though I wanted to stay out of the trouble, the trouble still came to me.

After dinner, I planned to read some books in the library.

But someone grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the library angrily the moment I sat down.

I was so scared, thinking about whether I was assaulted by a criminal. However, it turned out to be Riley.

He pointed at me angrily. "Emily, did you tamper with that bracelet? Nora has never had any problems with her livestream, so why did she fall down the stairs this time? There must be something wrong with the bracelet on her hand. You must be resentful of Nora for taking me away, so you deliberately found this way to retaliate against her, right? How can you be so vicious?

"Besides, Nora and I used to get along well, but recently we've been arguing all the time. Even my classmates are causing me trouble. It's all your fault!

"You must be jealous that Nora stole your things, so you tampered with the bracelet to break her leg. She can't stream during this period. You have to be responsible for the medical expenses and losses!"

Riley seemed to be extremely upset, wanting to pass the buck of their conflicts to me with incoherent words.

I was amused as he illogically unleashed something ridiculous.

"Didn't Nora say that you bought her bracelet as a birthday gift? She refused to admit that it was my bracelet before, so why should I be blamed for her shit? Riley, as my boyfriend, you not only cheated on me, but you also stole my bracelet and gave it to your mistress. Now that she is in trouble, you still want me to take responsibility? Don't you think you're so shameless?"

While Riley was still thinking about how to refute me, I slapped him in the face.

He got so furious after being beaten by me that he tried to hit me back.

Meanwhile, I quickly shouted to the teacher on duty not far away on the first floor of the library, "Help! He's going to hit me!"

Since there were quite a lot of students studying in the library at night, more than a dozen students passing by surrounded Riley and me, including several from our department.

After learning what he had done to me, everyone began to criticize him.

Riley was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He could only glare at me and left in a hurry.

Fearing that the bracelet would cause a bigger problem, I sent a message to Riley: [I'm warning you one last time. Hurry and give my bracelet back. Otherwise, you will be in trouble.]

But unexpectedly, as soon as the message was sent, Nora called me.

She said hysterically over the phone, "Emily, what's wrong with you? Riley bought that bracelet for me. I've told you countless times, but why are you still pestering him? Please stop disturbing our lives, or I will call the police!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone angrily.

I had to say I had never seen someone as stupid as her.

Even Riley felt that there might be something wrong with the bracelet.

But Nora insisted on refusing to give it back.

When she first moved into our dormitory, she was known for taking advantage of others.

Even if he made some money from live streaming now, the habit of taking what belonged to others was ingrained in her heart.

Nora's accident was indeed just the beginning.

A few days later, Riley and Nora started quarreling again.

Our school set up a foundation to help students in need, and even Riley's life was greatly improved. He still got money from the foundation every year because the person in charge of registering and auditing the application for the funds came from the same city as Riley.

Meanwhile, she was also the President of the Students' Union, Kelly Jones.

As soon as Nora's legs got a little better, she ran to Kelly's class on crutches to cause trouble, arguing that she seduced Riley.

Kelly turned deaf to her accusation because every time Riley received the support of the foundation, he would give her some money as reward.

If she and Riley were put in the vortex of everyone's attention, they might discover she sought private gain through power. In the end, she would even be expelled.

But Nora was so paranoid that she wouldn't let go of this matter.

She even pulled Riley and Kelly in front of the library to interrogate if they were together behind her.

Although they didn't have an affair, there was indeed a secret between them.

Compared to letting everyone else know his scheme to defraud financial support from the school, he chose to admit that he had cheated on Nora and fled from their shared apartment.

He left the mess to the girls, thinking he would be fine as they were busy scratching each other's faces with nails.

But that night, Nora started live streaming again.

Her leg injury hadn't healed yet, so she could only chat with her audience.

However, what she went through in the last month made her look completely different in front of the camera.

Before, she had smooth skin, a slim figure, and watery eyes that looked like a fabulous lake.

But now, even with heavy makeup, she couldn't hide the fatigue in her eyes.

The dark circles under her eyes almost filled her entire face.

Even her audience also noticed something was wrong.

Netizen A: [What happened to you, Nora? Why do you look so tired? Did you not get enough rest? ]

Netizen B: [Yeah, shouldn't you look better after resting for a month? Why does she look like she hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time? ]

Nora looked at the judgements with hollow eyes.

She said, "I don't know why, but I feel like I've been particularly unlucky lately.

"I fell down the stairs during a stream before, and I thought it was just an accident. It was not until later that I realized that things were getting more and more weird.

"Since then, nothing I do has gone well. I got hit by chandeliers in shopping malls, and my car got scratched, and even when I went to a beauty salon for a skincare treatment, the equipment went out of control and almost disfigured me.

"Also, people around me also went crazy lately. Friends who used to be very close to me have been quarreling with me every day. My upstairs neighbor even accused me of stealing his packages, but I didn't. The most outrageous thing was that I came home in the middle of the night and saw a strange man lying on my bed. I was so scared that I called the police, but when the police came, they found nothing."

Nora was in a bad mood. When she recalled all of the unlucky events, she seemed to be caught by some bad memories, and her eyes were full of fear.

The audience started giving advice to her.

Netizen C: [Did you develop post-traumatic stress disorder after being injured? I had this problem before, and it took a long time for psychological counseling at the hospital for me to get better.]

Netizen E: [Or do you get high?]

Netizen F: [Why not take a trip and let nature heal you?]

Among all the comforting comments, someone posted a weird text.

Netizen D: [The reason you are so unlucky is because you are wearing someone else's lucky bracelet. Return it to its owner immediately, or you will continue to be unlucky to a life-threatening extent.]

I noticed that this person's ID was Wind, and it seemed that he was the same netizen who warned Nora last time.

Who was this guy?

As soon as others saw his comment, he was besieged by Nora's fans.

Netizen A: [What's wrong with him? Can't you see how terrible she looks now? It's not the time to tell spooky stories.]

Netizen B: [That's right, and didn't Nora call the police last time? Why is he still on this channel? You should block him now, Nora. ]

Wind: [Just do as I told you. Return the bracelet before it's too late. ]

The next second after this comment was posted, Nora cut her stream.
