Corinne frowned and calmly looked at the group of people surrounding her. She did not panic, even though she did not understand what was happening. “Why are you all taking pictures of me? Please delete them now. You have no right to take pictures of me.”
The group of people threw dirty glares at her.
“What do you know about rights?”
“How can she be so shameless? Look at the way she’s leisurely drinking her Coke after screwing others over.”
“She’s a bad seed, alright. She probably doesn’t even know what empathy means.”
“I agree. She’s not fit to be called a human.”
Corinne did not know what they were talking about. She wanted to let them have a taste of their own medicine, so she dug deep inside her pocket to look for her phone, only to remember that her phone was still with Jeremy.
She remained calm even without her phone. “People, have you mistaken me for someone? I’m neither an influencer nor a celebrity, so why are you taking pictures of me?” she said staidly.
“Nope, we’re pretty sure we got the right person. You’re definitely the girl we’re talking about. A young pretty girl who is out and about scamming other people.”
‘Scamming other people? When did I ever do such a thing?” thought Corinne.
“Look at how bewildered she is. She sure has honed her acting skill over the years.”
“She should consider being an actress instead. Who knows, she might even win an Oscar.”
Corinne became more and more confused. “I don’t know any of you. Can someone please just explain to me why all of you are taking pictures of me?”
An indignant onlooker in the front row turned his phone screen toward her and said, “Find out for yourself. Can you honestly tell us that the young girl teaming up with the old man in this video scamming other people isn’t you?”
There was a video playing on the onlooker’s phone. The video showed the scene of her coming across a blind old man when she was leaving the embankment of Yonder River that night. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
The blind old man was stuck on a part of the tactile paving that was blocked by a car. She went to help him out of the kindness of her heart, but the blind old man was so angry at how inconsiderate the driver of the car was that he did not hesitate to smash up the car with his cane.
Then, the blind old man got into an argument with the driver who happened to be the purple–haired female influencer. Corinne could not stand it anymore, so she went to help the old man, but the purple– haired female influencer deliberately pretended to be a victim. She live–streamed the whole thing and lied to everyone, saying that she was the victim.
Her stream did not go viral on the day it happened, but the video was re–released online after being heavily edited to skew the context. It ended up being the blind old man deliberately crashing into the purple–haired female influencer’s car and asking for compensation with the help of Corinne.
Moreover, only the blind old man’s face was blurred out in the video. The purple–haired female influencer had no need to blur out her face because it was a live stream with her identity disclosed. However, only Corinne’s face seemed to have been magnified to an ultra–clear close–up so much that
each and every one of her pores could be clearly seen. It was no wonder strangers could recognize her at a glance.
‘Who edited and uploaded this video?‘ wondered Corinne. She remembered Lucas confiscated the purple–haired female influencer’s phone so that he could use that to prove Corinne had indeed been colluding with Chris. The phone was then turned into the police’s possession after the case was closed.
‘Was Lucas the one who edited and posted the video to slander me? Did he do it to make Anya feel better? If so, that’s really despicable of him. Ha! I can’t believe he’ll do this to a person who has helped his grandfather. He’s beyond ungrateful. The Rivera family is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!‘ thought Corinne.
Suddenly, a male onlooker picked up a cup of Coke and threw it at her. “You shameless woman! How dare you pick on Xena? How dare you screw over my favorite influencer?”
Everyone clapped when the Coke splashed against Corinne’s body.
“Yeah, how could you do that Xena? Don’t you know that she’s an inspiration to many? Because of what happened, she lost everything and was so traumatized that she said she’s going to quit being an influencer!”
