Beware of Your Dormmate(3)

Everyone was afraid of him. Soon, they became estranged from me.

I felt bitter in my heart, but I had no options. After all, it wasn't necessary for anyone to offend Charles for an insignificant person like me.

In the meantime, Charles' bullying toward me got worse. Once, when he came back from playing ball, he saw that there was no hot water in the room and ordered me, "Go get me some hot water. I want to soak my feet."

I ignored him, lowered my head, and continued to read my book. Seeing that, he got up and took my book away, throwing it on the balcony. "Didn't you hear me?"

As I was aggravated, another person in the room tried to smooth things over. "Charles, I think the dorm room beside us just got some hot water. I'll go borrow a jar for you."

Charles threw him a sidelong glance. "I want to use the water that he gets."

Then, he stared at me coldly.

I did not want to argue with him, so I obeyed his words.

I picked up his kettle, went to the pantry, and filled the kettle with some hot water. Then, I put it back beside his table.

Charles added, "Pour it into a basin and add some cold water."

I muttered angrily, "Do you want me to wash your feet as well?"

Hearing that, Charles was pleased. "If you want to, I won't refuse it."

I did not say anything. I just poured some cold water into a basin and pushed the basin over. Then, I returned to my place, sat down, and continued reading.

Charles soaked his feet behind me and let out a pleasant sound. He then said, "Look at your poor-looking appearance. I'll be worried even if you want to wash my feet. What if you pull a trick and pinch me?"

After saying that, he laughed. The other dormmates smiled awkwardly with him as well.

I put on my headphones silently in shame and anger.

Not only in the dorm but also in the student council, Charles and Vivianna kept finding fault with me and ordered me to do all the dirty and tiring work.

Charles messed up all orders and peace in the student council and established various rules. For example, if a student met the president and the manager of the student council, the student must greet them politely. Also, if the students were to send them a WhatsApp message, the students must address them politely as Mister and Miss, or they would be given strike notice.

Besides, they also set a rule for me. Since I was the only newcomer who joined later, Charles said that when I met the president and the manager of the student council, I must lower my head and greet them politely. If they walked passed me, I must let them through first.

I scoffed at him for treating himself as a prime minister.

I could only try my best to avoid him. Once, I saw him and Vivianna coming towards me from the corridor while holding hands. I tried to ignore him but he kept staring at me coldly. I glanced at him casually, and his gaze sent chills down my spine. I could not help but lower my head and let them through first.

Then, he and Vivianna sneered and walked passed me.

I wanted to slap myself in the face at that time. I could only despise myself for being a coward. No wonder others bullied me.

Gradually, I became a joke at school, and many people gossiped about me. During that period, I was devastated, unable to focus during lectures, and suffering from insomnia. My hair was always falling out, and I was decadent and lonely.

There were several times that I really wanted to jump off the balcony.

I was helpless and could not do anything about Charles. I was unable to get anyone to confront him. I considered transferring to another university, but it seemed unrealistic. I was also hesitant to leave school. So, I had no choice but to stay.

It was just like a living hell to me.

I only hoped that the four years of university life would pass quickly. When I got my graduation certificate, I would leave as soon as possible and would not have anything to do with that place.

Unexpectedly, Charles and Vivianna did something, which made me unable to bear it and aroused my will to fight back. I found that recently, Vivianna was very close to Jayleen, the girl that I could not let go of for a long time.

Initially, after I got into a relationship with Vivianna, I started to distance myself from Jayleen. Later, I became embarrassed to face her.

However, I found that these few days after class, Vivianna always came to find Jayleen and sometimes had lunch with her.

I did not know how they knew each other, but I knew that Vivianna must have had ill intentions.

I heard that Vivianna had some barbecues with Jayleen last weekend, and Charles joined them halfway.

I felt something was wrong. Vivianna and Charles must have planned something evil against Jayleen. It made me more anxious than being bullied.

I had to figure out what they wanted to do.

I remembered the iPad I bought for Vivianna when I first got into a relationship with her. When we used to study together in the library, I saw her log in to WhatsApp with the iPad. She had a habit of never deleting chat records.

I thought maybe I could find something on her iPad.

I remembered Vivianna said that she had a dormmate who had been with Charles for a few days but got dumped. I felt like I could ask that person for help.

On Thursday afternoon, I took advantage of Vivianna having a class and I went to find her dormmate. She knew me and my misfortune. Soon, after a few words, we felt sympathy for each other, and she promised to help me.

On Saturday, Vivianna and Charles went out to get a room. Her dormmate took her iPad from her bed and gave it to me.

I found a secret corner on the campus, opened the iPad, and tried to guess the password several times. It was wrong until I tried to fill it in with Charles' birthday date. Then, it was unlocked!

That password made me angry, but I had no time to care about it. I directly clicked on WhatsApp and found that it was indeed synchronized with her phone. After reading their chat history, I was infuriated. It was totally a whole new perspective of the world.

I saw that my relationship with Vivianna was an elaborate scheme from beginning to end! She had never loved me. Everything was at Charles' behest!

Moreover, Vivianna and Charles already knew each other since the beginning of school. They maintained a particularly abnormal relationship. Charles gave her some money every month, while Vivianna had to obey his behest and complete all the missions he had given her.

At that time, I liked Jayleen, but I did not know how to confess my love and was depressed. Charles knew it, and he deliberately asked Vivianna to seduce me. Then, when we began dating, he requested her to cheat on me. To meet his warped hobbies, she had to make out with him behind my back at the library and the woods beside the field.

I scrolled through their chat history and almost went crazy.

Furthermore, I saw that I actually did not sleep with Vivianna at all that time after drinking. Charles came back and saw me fall asleep. He kicked me off the bed and made out with Vivianna shamelessly beside me. Charles texted her: [It was so exciting! I never did it five times without stopping before.]

I continued to look through their chat and found that Charles was such a playboy. He set various levels for Vivianna, which are Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Royal. Vivianna teased him for having so much drama, and he replied with a text: [You're not the only woman. Everyone has to follow this rule, do you understand?]

Vivianna replied: [All right, I understand. You have a lot of girlfriends and everyone knows your affairs. I will obey all the rules.]

Charles replied: [It's good to be sensible. Then you must try your best to complete the mission and upgrade your level.]

When Vivianna was in a relationship with me, she would upgrade a level when she made out a few times with him at the toilet of the library and the woods beside the field. She upgraded herself from Bronze to Silver at that time. Then, when they made out on my bed in the dorm, it directly upgraded her to Gold level.

Vivianna would receive a bag as a reward accordingly whenever she got promoted. Charles bought her everything, from Michael Kors to Louis Vuitton.

It was despicable! I thought I was in a relationship, but I was merely entertaining others!

I continued to look through and found that in order for her to upgrade from Gold to Diamond, she texted Charles: [Since you like other girls to cheat on their boyfriend, how about I help you to hook some girls who have boyfriends? If you have fun, can you promote me to Diamond? I want a Chanel CF bag that is worth 7,500 dollars.]

That woman was insane and had no bottom line!

Charles replied: [Sure, but it also depends on the quality. I suggest you start with the student from the student council. It's more convenient.]

He really regarded the student council as his harem.

Then, I saw that Vivianna frequently sent Charles pictures of the girls of the student council. She asked Charles to pick them out and typed: [I've checked about them. They are all material girls and easier to target.]

After Charles picked the girl, Vivianna would ask the girl out for dinner, and then she let Charles create a coincidence meeting and joined them. Then slowly, Charles would win the girl's heart after giving money and material temptations.

Over the past month, Vivianna helped Charles get five girls in that way, and there were more than a dozen girls who were their candidates.

During that period, Vivianna texted Charles: [There are already five of them. Can I be upgraded?]

Charles replied: [Chanel is much more expensive than Louis Vuitton. It's too easy for you to simply get upgraded.]

Vivianna sent an aggrieved emoticon and followed with a text: [Then, tell me how can I get promoted?]

Charles replied: [As I said, the key is quality. How about this? Why don't you help me get Jayleen?]

Vivianna replied: [Who is Jayleen?]

Charles sent a sneer emoticon and followed with a text: [Your stupid "ex-boyfriend's" secret lover. I'm still angry at him to report that matter to the counselor. How about this? You try to get familiar with Jayleen and bait her step by step. After I sleep with her, I take photos of hers and send them to your "ex-boyfriend". I have to make him suffer!]

Vivianna sent him a laughing emoticon and texted: [Okay, I'll try. You have to buy me that Chanel bag when it's done.]

Charles sent an "okay" to her.

Seeing that, I got so angry that I almost threw the iPad.

Charles and Vivianna were shameless scums and jerks!

I could not believe that money was so capable to change a person in that way, but I had to believe it.

Thinking of Jayleen, I felt guilty for her again. I could not be a loser anymore. I needed to be strong and fight back for her and myself. I wanted Charles and Vivianna to pay the price!

After calming down, I took photos of the chat history and asked Vivianna's dormmate to take the iPad back.

I knew that as long as a person still had money, he would not be suffering no matter how one punished him.

Soon, I came up with a way that even if his family was rich, it would still make him suffer infinitely.

That night, I went to Jayleen and told her everything. Jayleen was shocked.
