Chapter 9 Gabriella's scandal stayed on the trending list for three days . On the third day , Reynald was moved from the ICU to a regular room . When his friends and Vanessa came to visit , they brought it up . " Gabriella got roasted . Everyone's got a copy of her pics . " " If I were her , I'd just hang myself . No way I could face anyone again . " " She's probably hiding in some dark corner , crying . Haha ! " Vanessa frowned . " This is too cruel . If I were her , I wouldn't know how to go on .
