He was blood-related to Emily. How could he possibly help me?
And he knew very well that the luxury car that picked me up before belonged to my aunt, not some rich woman. Yet he remained silent, letting these people slander me.
If Noah was the murderer who killed me, then he was the accomplice.
In this life, I would make these people pay.
I mentioned Roy in the parent group. "Mr. Davis, please help explain that things are not as he thinks."
After I sent the message, Roy replied, "Liam, your grades are poor. And Emily has been tutoring you. You can't repay her kindness by hiding her. Her dad is worried about tomorrow's exam, so he came to your house.
"Tell him where Emily is, and he won't trouble you anymore."
Other parents in the group chimed in, "Mr. Davis is right. It's so late. Who wants to be out causing trouble unless they're worried about their child."
"Exactly, a boy who looks decent but has such a bad mind."
"If it doesn't work out, let him transfer to another school. I'm afraid he'll corrupt my kid."
"Sigh, boys these days don't want to work hard. It's ruining society's morals."
The parents were all talking at once. Someone made a short video of the group chat and posted it online.
The caption was "Failing student hides top student before the college entrance exam. The parents search in vain."
As soon as the video was posted, it sparked intense debate.
Everyone in the comments was condemning me.
Seeing the high attention, Noah excitedly opened the live broadcast app.
Noah had just started streaming. Almost ten thousand people flooded into the live broadcast room.
The number of viewers kept increasing.
Noah exaggerated and maliciously twisted the story between Emily and me.
He even fabricated rumors, saying I was being kept by a rich woman.
He also said he would discipline me on behalf of my parents.
The netizens were swayed by his accusations. They all started to attack me.
The popularity of the live broadcast kept rising. It directly trended, and the number of viewers reached nearly one hundred thousand.
I knew the best way to deal with slander and defamation was to call the police and let the law punish these villains.
But with the experience of my tragic death in the previous life, I knew this was not enough.
Only by making the situation unmanageable could I leave the villains with no room to retaliate.
For this, I had to endure a little longer.
