During the livestream, she used a small paper fan to hide the lower half of her face. As she moved sensually in front of her phone, she kept speaking in a coquettish tone that made me queasy."Thanks for the gift, darling. Smooches!"I glanced at the livestream being broadcast from Rose's phone. The comments were running wild. Many of the students from our college were posting their comments."My goodness. She actually went into someone else's room, put on her clothes, and used her makeup!""How can she be so disgusting?""I know who she is! She's in the same building as me. Not too long ago, she threw boiling water at her roommate. Even the chancellor got involved!""I don't want to admit it, but she's actually my roommate now! What a nutcase she is!"I covered my mouth to stop myself from laughing. Meanwhile, Lisa hadn't noticed us yet. Her livestream went on for over an hour before she turned it off.Then, she picked up her phone and started sending coy voice messages to sev
The students started making comments."Oh, gosh. She still refuses to admit it…""She's so shameless. If I were her, I would've buried my head in the sand by now…"Assuming that the students were referring to me, Lisa lifted her head haughtily and acted as if she were the victim. "There's a limit to my patience, Celia! Apologize to me right now, and I'll forgive you."The grim-faced police officers showed Rose's livestream to Lisa before saying, "You'll need to come with us to cooperate with the investigation."Only then did Lisa realize what the livestream was about. Panicking, she vehemently shook her head and said, "That's impossible! Celia and Rose are just setting me up! That video's fake!"I shook my head and said, "The matter of you injuring Ivy hasn't even been settled yet, Lisa, and you're already causing trouble again. If you're so capable, why don't you pay off her medical fees first, huh?"One of the police officers calmly chimed in, "Ivy Henderson's parents have alr
I felt a headache coming on when I saw the long list of claims in the chat group.Seeing that all of us had remained silent, Lisa Stewart sent a bunch of photos of her injury before adding, "I'm warning you. I have evidence that I fell in our dorm room! Celia's the one who always uses the bathroom the last in the morning, so she's the most likely suspect."However, out of the kindness of my heart, I don't want to make things too humiliating for her, so I don't want to go through the effort of figuring out who the real culprit is. Therefore, you guys can just split the compensation evenly."After a moment, Rose Clark, one of my roommates, couldn't resist replying, "Are you expecting us to prove our own innocence?"Ivy Henderson, who had always been a meek and honest young woman, also expressed her doubts. "Even if there had been a puddle of water on the floor, you should've been able to spot it, right? There are plenty of puddles out on the streets all the time. Does that mean you g
Once Lisa ended her livestream, she marched up to us haughtily and asked, "So, how about it? If you don't want to be the target of cyberbullying, you better pay up as soon as possible!"With her arms crossed and nose in the air, she had the air of someone expecting us to throw money at her. However, Rose crossed her arms and retorted, "Are you in dire need of money or something, huh? If you'd waited for even a day before going to the doctor, your supposed injury would've healed up already. The nerve of you to expect a thousand dollars from each of us!"Lisa pointed at the nearly indiscernible red mark on her thigh before wagging her finger at me and shrieking, "I only suspected Celia of being responsible for this! It's fine if you guys don't want to pay up. Just get Celia to admit to her wrongdoing! She can be responsible for the entire compensation!"Ivy shook her head and said gently but firmly, "Celia and I left together this morning. I trust that she wasn't responsible for it.
Rose snorted. "I see. You have the chancellor backing you up, huh? That's why you're acting so smug and arrogant. If the other colleges found out that the chancellor's daughter is a master at extorting money from other people, they would probably laugh until their sides hurt! This news might even go viral online."Ms. Lewis whipped her head around and wagged a finger at Rose as she snapped shrilly, "You shut your mouth! I expect a 3000-word self-reflection essay from you too! At once!"After looking at Rose, Ivy, and me, Ms. Lewis declared in a righteous tone, "Lisa has evidence to validate her medical bills. Since you lot did something wrong, you should shoulder the consequences by paying the compensation!"This is the first lesson of adulthood that you need to learn as college students. This is what it means to be socially responsible adults! To be accountable for your actions!" Eyeing Ms. Lewis with an unreadable smile, I asked, "You're saying that Lisa is the chancellor's daug
All Lisa knew was that the chancellor of our college had the last name Stewart as well. She had no clue who he actually was, so she simply stood there dazedly without showing any reaction.However, when Ms. Lewis saw Dad, her eyes gleamed. Grabbing Lisa by the hand, she started wailing to Dad, "You're finally here, Chancellor Stewart! That's right! I want the college to expel Celia Jewell!"She has been constantly goading the other roommates into excluding and isolating Lisa! They've been incessantly tormenting such a wonderful young woman!"Only then did Lisa realize that the man standing before her was the chancellor. All the color drained out of her face. She could barely hold herself steady as she stammered, "No, I'm fine… Ms. Lewis, Chancellor Stewart… L-Let's just forget about it…"Mr. Lewis looked at Lisa sympathetically as she declared, "You're such a thoughtful young woman! Even now, you still want to smooth things over."She whipped around to stare us down, her expressio
When the word "Dad" came out of my lips, it seemed to set off a bomb that made everyone present stiffen in shock. Their eyes kept roaming between Dad, Lisa, and me.Dazed at first, Ms. Lewis soon came to a realization. She hurriedly released Lisa before rubbing her hands awkwardly. Her gaze shifted uneasily as she asked, "Um… Celia? Are you Chancellor Stewart's daughter?"Dad's expression was stormy. He didn't even notice the slight tremble in his voice as he declared, "Celia has my wife's last name, Jewell."Turning ashen-faced, Lisa slumped to the floor. She stared blankly into the distance as she muttered to herself, "How can this be…"Seeing this, Ms. Lewis hauled Lisa off the floor, her amiable expression now replaced by one of fury. "Lisa! How could you pretend to be the chancellor's daughter? Not only are you an incorrigible liar, but you even attempted to frame your roommates! You've gone too far!"Rose couldn't resist snorting when she heard this. In a sarcastic tone, she

With trembling hands, Mrs. Henderson pulled up a video of Ivy at the hospital as well as a report about her surgery. The video showed how ghastly Ivy's injury was."Look at this! Ivy is going to have to live with this scar for the rest of her life! How dare you say that 50 thousand is too much?" Mrs. Henderson choked as she spoke, and it made my heart ache too.Dad's expression was grim as he declared, "Lisa, as this was an act of malice, the college will be giving you the appropriate punishment as well. You will also need to pay the compensation in full!"Turning to Ms. Lewis, he continued, "As the head of the academic affairs office, Ms. Lewis, you are also responsible for the situation, and you will receive your punishment too."Once the matter was settled, Ms. Lewis instructed Lisa to move out of the dorm room.At last, the world was at peace again. Rose and I both exhaled in relief. Even the air felt fresher now.Alas, we didn't get to savor the peace for long. A month later
