Chapter 1

I sat on a cold, hard metal chair as I watched the farce unfold in front of me.Fiona cried her eyes out. She pointed at me with trembling fingers.“It’s him! He stared at me in the car so creepily. He even tried to touch my thigh!”Sergeant Lemony, the young officer taking the statement, frowned and looked at me.There was obvious disdain in his eyes.To him, I was probably nothing more than a creepy, tanned-skinned male driver with a buzz cut in cargo pants.I said, “Sir, I—”“Shut up!” Fiona screamed in a high-pitched voice and cut me off.“You harassed me, and you have the nerve to talk?! If I hadn’t fought back with everything I had, I’d have lost my dignity by now!”Then, she cried even louder. Her wail filled the entire mediation room.Sergeant Lemony knocked on the desk. “Quiet! This is a police station!”He turned and glared at me. “Behave yourself! Where’s your ID?”I was about to reach into my pocket when Fiona abruptly lunged at me and grabbed my hand.“Don’t

“I won't accept anything but his imprisonment, plus $100,000 in total compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and damage to my reputation!”‘$100,000?!’ I thought.She must be out of her mind with her obsession with money.I snorted and said, “$100,000? Why don’t you just rob a bank?”Fiona pointed at me, cursed, and said, “A broke driver like you can’t earn $100,000 in your entire life! If you can’t pay that, then rot in jail!”Lemony knocked on the desk impatiently. “Enough! Let’s get the facts straight first. Do you have a dashcam in the car?”When he mentioned the dashcam, I felt even more confident.“Yes. I have a dual-lens dashcam. Everything’s recorded on the memory card.”Fiona’s face changed for a moment. But the next second, she resumed her smug-looking facade.“He definitely deleted the footage! He was messing with his phone in the car earlier!”I did not bother to respond to her. I said to Lemony, “The memory card is still inside the dashcam. You can go a

“Or what?” Lemony interrupted me.“There’s no direct evidence proving your innocence right now. She’s firmly accusing you of sexual harassment. You’re in a very difficult position.”I was not just in a difficult position; I was screwed. Without the dashcam footage, this had turned into a classic he-said-she-said situation.But I still had an ace up my sleeve.I was about to say something when Fiona suddenly took out her phone and started filming me.“Guys, can you believe this? He’s a perverted driver! He’s acting tough, even at the police station! The police just said he deleted the dashcam footage. It’s clear to see that he’s guilty and panicking!” she said as she filmed. She shoved her phone right up in my face.Lemony frowned and stopped her. “No filming in the investigation room.”Fiona ignored him. She hid her phone behind her. “I’m recording evidence. What if you cover him?”Drake chimed in, “She’s right. We need to expose his behavior! We need the internet to know w

The next few hours were pure hell.Without the dashcam, the police could not charge me. But they could not clear me either.According to police procedure, they had to detain me for questioning. Fiona and Drake made a big fuss outside the police station. They demanded that the police send me to jail with immediate effect.Meanwhile, the incident blew up online.Fiona was a local content creator with a decent number of followers. The moment they uploaded the video paired with sensational tags like “perverted driver,” “attempted harassment,” and “destroyed evidence,” it instantly went viral.Inside the interrogation room, Sergeant Lemony gave me back my phone. He allowed me to contact my family.The moment I switched on my phone, a flood of notifications nearly froze the screen.Fiona had revealed my phone number to the public.As a result, messages and calls poured in nonstop.[Die, you sick pervert!][Perverts should have their whole families burned alive!][I know where

“Why did you delete the footage from your dashcam?”“Do you feel any remorse at all?”I said nothing. I lowered my head and tried to push my way through the crowd.Drake and a few of his men blocked my way.“Trying to get away from us, huh? No way!” Drake pushed me. “You need to give us an explanation today! You’re not going anywhere!”I stumbled from the impact.The crowd egged him on. Someone hurled a plastic water bottle at me.“Beat the pervert to death!”“Trash!”I wiped the water off my face. I stared at Drake icily.“Move.”“Still acting tough, huh?” The fat on his face jiggled as he sneered.“Hey, everyone, look at his attitude! He has no remorse even now!”He held up his phone and recorded everything live.The screen was flooded with comments, with every single one hurling abuse at me.Fiona rushed forward and broke down in front of the camera. “Everyone, I had a nightmare last night! The moment I closed my eyes, I saw his disgusting face! I honestly don’t know

“Also, don’t tell anyone you ever lived here! You’re an embarrassment!”Right after Madam Wendy finished her sentence, she slammed the door with a loud bang.I stood at the entrance. I stared with a bitter smile at the refunded amount on the phone screen that had been returned to me.I had lost my job.My reputation was ruined.I did not even have a place to stay.All because I told my passenger not to smoke in the car.This world was truly absurd.But I did not immediately walk out.I closed the door and pulled the curtains. After that, I turned on my secondhand laptop.The clip on the internet continued to go viral.Fiona had done three livestreams already. The amount of tips she received was probably more than what I made as a Grab driver for an entire year. On the livestreams, she cried her eyes out about how I “threatened” her and had “ill intentions” against her.She came up with a lot of extra details.She said I locked the car doors, verbally abused her, and even

Fiona sat on the main seat. She had exquisite makeup on, but she had deliberately made herself look haggard.When she looked at me, her gaze shone with pride and greed.Drake walked over and yanked off my cap.“Everyone, look! Here’s Chris, the Grab driver!”The flashes from the cameras went crazy.The number of livestream viewers instantly surged past 100,000.Drake shoved the microphone into my hand.“Go on then, just like we agreed. Apologize and pay up.”The microphone felt heavy in my hand.I looked at the crowd under the stage. They held up their phones, and their faces lit up with excitement. Then, I turned to Fiona and Drake on the stage. They looked so sure of their victory.I felt sorry for them.Truly, I did.“Before I apologize, I’ve got a few questions for Ms. Lambert.”My voice echoed through the microphone across the conference room.Fiona froze. The next moment, she snapped impatiently, “If you’ve got something to say, spit it out! Don’t try any new tricks

“I’m a woman too, and I have absolutely no interest in a lying, cigarette-smoking, trashy piece of work like you!”“How dare you?!” Fiona pointed at me with a trembling finger. But not a single word came out of her mouth beyond that.Drake finally snapped out of his daze. He lunged at me and tried to snatch away my ID.“This doesn’t count! Even women can harass people! You’re definitely a pervert!”Before he reached me, I sidestepped. In one smooth motion, I kicked him in the back of the knee.Drake dropped to his knees with a thud.“You wanted me to kneel, right?” I looked down at him. “Tell me, who’s kneeling now?”At that moment, the tide of public opinion reversed.The same people who had cursed me the loudest turned their fire on Fiona.“It was really a false accusation!”“I knew it! This woman looked shady from the start!”“She’s got no shame! She’s trying to blackmail people for money!”But that still was not enough.I did not just want to clear my name; I also want

Chapter 9

Three days later, I received an official confirmation from the police.Fiona and Drake faced charges of attempted blackmail and creating a public disturbance. Both were being held in criminal detention.Drake was no stranger to trouble with unsolved prior offenses to his name. This time, he would be sentenced to jail for at least three to five years.Fiona’s parents had somehow tracked down my place.They looked like an honest couple. They wore washed-out jackets and stood at the entrance of my apartment with two boxes of milk.The moment they saw me, they instantly dropped to their knees with a thud.“Miss, we beg you. Please spare Fiona!”Fiona’s mother, Angelina, cried so hard that snot and tears ran down her face. She repeatedly prostrated on the concrete floor.“She’s still young! She doesn’t know any better. It was just a stupid mistake! If she ends up with a criminal record, her whole life will be ruined!”Neighbors peeked from their door. They whispered and gossiped am
