Chapter 7

Author: Full Luck Mode
She wanted to barge in, but I stopped her.

“Say whatever you want to say here.”

“I can’t talk here…” She stared at me with teary eyes. “Luke hit me. He said it’s all my fault. He threatened me… Harper, you’re the only one I have left.”

I felt nothing.

She had put on a similar act too many times before.

“Ella,” I said, “if you’re here to apologize, I’ll accept it. But you have to pay back the money you owe and take legal responsibility.”

“I’ll definitely pay you back!” She grabbed my h

    “When you were scolding me on social media, why didn’t you say that you didn’t know the full truth?” I asked. He was silent. “At the time… I thought you were just throwing a tantrum,” he said hesitantly. “I really didn’t know he conned you out of so much money…”“Did you have an IOU for the 20,000 dollars you lent him?”“Yes…”“Then, sue him,” I said. “Don’t come to me. I’m not your savior.” I hung up. The floating captions appeared. [Greg’s such a spineless man. Serves him right for being scammed.][He scolded Harper so badly, yet he’s the first to change his stance.][He’s getting what he deserves.]Sandra came to me once. She sent me a very long apology text message, claiming that she had experienced a lapse in judgment. Sandra claimed Ella was using her. She begged me to retract my lawsuit against her. I only replied, [I’ll see you in court.]Mindy did not contact me again, but I heard that she told other people that I was a cruel and ungrateful person. I no

But you have to pay back the money you owe and take legal responsibility.” “I’ll definitely pay you back!” She grabbed my hand. “Let me in, and I’ll tell you everything! Luke also scammed other people, he…”As she spoke, she tried to barge in as she slid her other hand into my pocket. I saw it. She was trying to get hold of my phone. I took a step back, and she missed her target. She almost fell. “What are you trying to do?” I stared at her coldly. Her cheeks were still tear-stained, yet her expression had changed. “Harper, you’d better know your place!” she suddenly screamed, “Do you think you’re all t

    I hung up. The floating captions appeared again. [I hate people like Mindy. Why is she acting generous on behalf of others?][She must know the truth. Maybe she’s benefited from it before.][Good job, Harper! What a great comeback!]In the afternoon, Sandra suddenly came to my apartment complex. She called me, but I did not answer. Then, she stood in my lobby and yelled my name. Many of my neighbors were peering at her. “Harper, come out! Look at what you’ve done to Ella! She doesn’t even dare to go to work now. Are you finally happy?” I looked out of my window and saw Sandra standing there with her hands on either side of her hips. She acted as if she were being righteous. I changed my clothes and went down. “What are you shouting for?” I stood before her. “I’m shouting? What of it?” Sandra glared at me. “Are you afraid of what other people are saying about what you’ve done? Ella trusted you so much, yet you called the police on her?” “I didn’t ask the police to d

    I did not look back. My phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text message from Sandra. [Harper, how can you treat Ella like that? She’s crying so hard. Don’t you feel bad at all?]I laughed when I read the text message. Sandra was Ella’s best friend, and she usually followed Ella around so she could get some free meals. She had spent quite a bit of my money, too. Before this, she was the one who claimed that I usually acted generously. I did not answer her. Instead, I blocked her, too. The floating captions returned. [Here we go, all these side characters are making their appearances.][I’m so disgusted by Sandra. She’s using your money, yet she’s scolding you.][Harper, don’t give in. You can’t let any of them off the hook.]After I reached home, my phone started to buzz violently after I had just sat down. My social media account exploded. Sandra had written a long post and attached a photo of Ella crying. She wrote such a touching piece, claiming that I abando

    I heard Ella laughing. “What would I do without you? You’re the one who can fool her like that.”“You’re not half bad either,” Luke said. “Haven’t you gotten a lot from her?” Then, I heard some rustling. Through the gap, I saw them hugging and kissing. I took out my phone. Then, I snapped photos and recorded some footage. My hands were trembling, yet I forced myself to stay calm. The floating captions kept appearing. [You must save the recordings well! This is evidence!][Harper, you can do this! Teach these ingrates a lesson!]I turned to leave. After I got back into my car, I made copies of the recording and photos. It turned out they were conspiring against me from the start. The trip, the relationship, and the friendship only happened because they wanted to empty the trust fund my parents had left me. I leaned against my steering wheel and shut my eyes. It was enough. I would no longer give in. Three days later, I asked Luke and Ella to meet me in a cafe.

    Ella called me, but I hung up on her. Luke sent me text messages, but I blocked him. I pulled up my bank application, cancelled my supplementary card, and revoked all payment authorizations. The floating captions appeared again. [Good job!][Let’s see what these clowns will do next.]I leaned against the couch and shut my eyes. No tears would come. I did not want to cry anyway.I just felt very tired and cold. The friendship and relationship I cherished had materialized through schemes from the very start. The next day, I went to the study in my family home and unlocked the safe. Inside the safe were the trust fund documents, property certificates, and other important documents my parents had left me. I remembered that I had placed all these documents according to chronological order. Yet, they were a mess. A few letters of authorization were missing. My heart sank as I quickly called the trust manager, Rosalind Taylor. “Rosalind, did anyone go to you with my
