---- Chapter 8 The students started making comments. "Oh, gosh. She still refuses to admit it..." "She's so shameless. If I were her, I would've buried my head in the sand by now..." Assuming that the students were referring to me, Lisa lifted her head haughtily and acted as if she were the victim. "There's a limit to my patience, Celia! Apologize to me right now, and I'll forgive you." The grim-faced police officers showed Rose's livestream to Lisa before saying, "You'll need to come with us to cooperate with the investigation." Only then did Lisa realize what the livestream was about. Panicking, she vehemently shook her head and said, "That's impossible! Celia and Rose are just setting me up! That video's fake!" I shook my head and said, "The matter of you injuring Ivy hasn't even been settled yet, Lisa, and you're already causing trouble again. If you're so ---- capable, why don't you pay off her medical fees first, huh?" One of the police officers calmly chimed in, "Ivy Henderson's parents have already lodged a police report, and we have accepted the case. We just haven't had the time to inform you yet." Lisa turned ghostly pale. She grabbed my hand and cried out, "I'm sorry, Celia! I made a mistake! I'll give Ivy the money right away! Can you please tell her to retract the police report?" Her nails were digging into my flesh. She was shockingly strong. Just then, a blond guy squeezed his way through the crowd. Once he spotted me, he shoved Lisa aside and roared, "How dare you bully my Celia?" Rose and I exchanged glances. The blond was probably one of the guys Lisa seduced with my photos. I pointed at Lisa and said, "She's the Celia you know, not me." ---- He didn't seem to believe me, so I snatched Lisa's phone from her and opened her WhatsApp to pull up her chat history with him. It was full of my selfies that she had sent him, along with some other revolting messages that nauseated me. The blond turned red with anger. Once he snapped back to his senses, he punched Lisa, growling, " You're disgusting!" Clutching her cheek, Lisa screamed, "Did you just hit me? I'm your girlfriend!" The blond retorted with a sneer, "My girlfriend? You should take a look in the mirror first! The woman I like is Celia, not you, her imposter!" I couldn't be bothered to watch this farce any longer. After beseeching the police officers to deal with the case as soon as possible, I took my leave with Rose. A few days later, the police came to the campus to resolve the incident with Lisa. At last, we met her parents.
