Chapter 14
As expected, I became the target of online harassment.
At school and among our relatives, Sofia had lost all credibility.
She could only turn to a larger audience to try to force me to yield.
Those netizens, who jump to conclusions at the slightest hint of drama, became Sofia’s weapon against me.
She tricked her father into helping her edit videos and then went live to publicly denounce me.
In the video, Sofia looked haggard, still playing the pitiful victim.
“My mom never liked me, even when I was bullied by a teacher, she took the teacher’s side,” she said.
“I was still in elementary school when she kicked me out of the house,” she added.
Then Sofia released the first half of the office surveillance footage, where she falsely accused the teacher. In the video, I looked aggressive.
With careful editing and a dramatic soundtrack, it made Leo and me look like we were flirting.
Sofia stood off to the side, looking timid and saying nothing.
During the live stream, Sofia hinted at something between me and Leo, saying, “My mom and Mr. Garcia…”
The comment section instantly filled with hateful messages.
“I’ve never seen such an evil mother,” one comment read.
“She’s a tramp forcing her daughter… What kind of sick person does that?” another commented.
“Come on, I’ll take care of you. I love women like you,” another chimed in.
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt deeply disturbed.
In that moment, I finally understood the mindset Leo had when he pushed me off the building, driven to despair by online harassment that tore his life apart.
Calmly, I released the video I had carefully edited in advance.
With Sofia no longer in my life, I had plenty of money to spend as I pleased.
I paid to get the video trending at the top of the search results.
The first half of the video showed the full truth as revealed by Sofia’s biological father and Mila in the hotel.
Child swapping, child abuse leading to death, and fratricide. The all of it was laid bare.
The video ended with a clip of Sofia hysterically screaming that she wanted to kill me.
The last few seconds repeated the image of Sofia snarling, as if she wanted to tear me apart, leaving a lasting impression on the viewers.
Sofia’s pitiful act? Who would remember that now?
The tide turned online, and the insults were now aimed at Sofia.
“Whoa, you couldn’t make this stuff up even in a novel,” one comment said.
“Mila is in the final stage of a relationship addiction, still thinking about men even now,” another remarked.
“Kids these days are really scary,” someone commented.
“Just look at who raised her. She killed someone’s daughter, then ran over her brother,” another wrote.
“Damn, I got goosebumps,” someone added.
“Bitch! People like this don’t deserve to live,” another comment read.
When Sofia saw the tide turning against her, she panicked.
She angrily fought back against the commenters, but her account was soon banned.
The incident even affected her at school. Sofia was forced to drop out.
Sofia’s father spent his days either drinking or gambling.
Sofia couldn’t even get a full meal, let alone find another school.
I once saw her on the street and almost didn’t recognize her. I thought she was some random beggar.
She looked at me from a distance, her eyes filled with tears of frustration.
I didn’t hesitate for a second. I turned and walked away.
Those were just fake tears. This was the fate she deserved.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
