---- Chapter 11: Dramas That evening, Beatrice posted another lengthy essay, condemning me as selfish and profit-driven. The angered online users became even more furious, with some going as far as threatening to expose my personal information and tarnish my reputation at my university. But now, the moment had arrived. | utilized my verified social media account, identifying myself as the head of the Operations Department at West Light Media, to share two recorded audio clips. In the first recording, Beatrice's voice was not very clear but audible enough. "I've checked.
There are many affluent individuals here who are interested in college girls. Whoever introduces them earns two thousand dollars each time. "If she had obediently followed our parents' advice and worked to support me, things wouldn't have escalated to this point today. She owes me all of this. ---- The second recording featured Beatrice's voice very clearly. "| want you to transfer all the earnings we've made with Shawn during this time to me, and pay me twenty thousand dollars as compensation for emotional distress.
If you agree, I'll release a statement saying this whole situation was a misunderstanding." As anticipated, public sentiment quickly changed. Those who had previously supported doxxing me were now shifting their allegiance away from Beatrice. "| never thought she was such a heartless person. She truly deserves what she's getting. I've never seen such a shameless person." "I did a quick search, and she only got into a third- rate college, while Lily got into a prestigious university right next to hers.
How could she shamelessly make Lily work to support her?" "| just checked the confession walls of their universities. Beatrice didn't abandon her education to be with Shawn; she was expelled due to failing too ---- many subjects. Her parents even came to beg the school, but she insisted on cutting ties with them." "Oh my God, it seems like their affectionate daily life is scripted. If they're genuinely in love, they should be kept away from the public eye." Just as the entire internet was focused on this matter, Shawn stepped forward, but not to defend Beatrice.
Instead, he officially announced his breakup with Beatrice. In the face of Beatrice's thoroughly tarnished reputation, Shawn released a statement claiming that he was only following the company's arrangements and creating a "couple image" with Beatrice. He stated that they weren't really together, and the two of them were not even acquainted. Beatrice was driven to madness on the spot. After smashing everything in their rented apartment, she still couldn't vent her frustration. She called Shawn, saying, "You bastard, why did you do this?
